Of course there were many kids' shows I enjoyed but I don't count them here because regardless of being a '90s kid, (born around the mid '80s), other shows stuck with me as more memoriable and interesting. Same thing with some adult cartoons like South Park and Ren & Stimpy which I more or less followed but weren't all that great.
But shows like; Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, The X-Files, Twin Peaks, Ally McBeal, Friends, Stark Raving Mad, That 70's Show, Friends, Second Noah, The Simpsons...And I also remember occationally enjoying Touched By An Angel. And I'm sure I've "forgotten" some shows I really enjoyed.
Even out of those mentioned it's nearly impossible to decide one absolute number one favourite.
But I'll try.
Let's see...The unranked TOP shows would certainly be:
* Buffy/Angel (I always count them as one because their storylines literally link to each others)
* Second Noah
* That 70's Show
* Stark Raving Mad
* The X-Files
* Ally McBeal
If we count out shows that are essentially humour/comedy styled even if including serious storylines and characters, which always was the more appealing aspect for me...
It would leave:
* Buffy/Angel
* Second Noah
* The X-Files
...I count Buffy/Angel out because although I enjoy it for every possible reason and not the least for the great characters and faschinating fantasy aspects, I think the main reason why I could watch them through any day no matter how little time ago the previous watch-through was, is the brilliantly funny, witty and interesting way the characters talk and dialogue. The Joss Whedon style.
Second Noah, I never missed an episode of and if I couldn't watch it when it aired I videotaped it. One of those shows that should've never been cancelled but were at the end of first season. :(
It has a great idea, setting and very well done with a lot of heart. I have fond memories of Saturday nights, raspberry ice cream and this show on telly.
The X-Files I don't recall following every week and I didn't follow it through when it originally aired, for some reason, but am only currently watching the rest from Netflix, to see how it all turned out in the end. But nonetheless whenever I watched it back then, it was absolute gold.
And as I was most faschinated with supernatural stuff/horror and crime thrillers as a child (and still am), I guess I would have to conclude...
With Buffy the Vampire Slayer / Angel as a close second place rank...
...My favourite show of the '90s is:
THE X-FILES
It has everything a fan of supernatural horror and crime thriller could hope for. And now as an adult I'm also able to appreciate and enjoy the extremely well-written and entertaining colleagues-to-friends-to-lovers relationship between agents Mulder and Scully, who also individually are very, very well-written and interesting characters.
I. Love. This. Show.
