people who grew up in the 90's, was this show really popular back then?
Yes, it was water cooler talk
>>221023209If you go look up the Nielsen top ratings of the 90s you won't recognize at least half the shows.
yeah and flockheart was the go-to joke about being skinny/anorexic which is where the idea of this very hot scene came from: https://youtu.be/jDQ7olLML2k
>>221023209Yes but its success was mostly due to be insanely popular in a couple of niches, not due to broad popularity. I tried watching it a few times and never had a strong negative reaction, just never had much of a reaction at all. It was blah but I knew women who thought it was the greatest thing ever. The only things I remember about it were co-ed restrooms, the dancing ghost baby, and the guy at the bottom of OP's pic had a fetish for old women whose skin sagged off their neck.
this show is so crazyit's really worth going back to revisitlike every episode they defend some sexual assulter and its set in the 90s so they always defend themit's awesome it was made in this time period where "both sides are right actually" was the prevailing intellectualism, if it was done today it would be shit but it's awesome
>>221023209Yeah.ThisERFriendsIn late 90s they were the biggest shows
>>221023473also had Robert Downey jr in a role which had some notoriety because i think he was on jail or something. it was popular. but probably because it was more skewed to a female audience it doesn't get mentioned. i remember watching one or two episodes.You know a show that was great that has been memory holed? Dream on. 6 seasons. first 3 seasons great, just tits galore. and Murder One. that first season was fire.

>>221023209dont even know what show this is, look at that fucking chin though
>>221025379>Dream oni watched it because his teenage son was hot
>>221023209It got nemoryholed because certain drug addict was on the show that ended up in jail because of the ally mcbeal
>>221023209It spawned one of the oldest widespread memes, the dancing baby
>>221025379dream on was already a throwback but whats weird is how much of the cast is nobodies. how do you even begin a major production without having anybody there?
very popular for a few yrs. watched it every now and then and it was legit funny at times
>>221025555Surely his career never recovered from his drug problems.
>>221023217What the fuck is a water cooler? I won't google it.
>>221025607it didnt create the meme though it was already an email meme
>>221023217I feel like it was failed Watercooler talk. It tried and got backed for it, but ultimately flopped. Its best season was 14m which is good and all but far cry ftom the 90s hits.
Single Female Lawyer fighting for her clients, wearing sexy miniskirts and being self-reliant
It was a minor thing, though I never understood why. And the dancing CG baby was really fucking strange.
>>221023209The dancing baby was one of the first viral memes actually.
>>221026248It was a ratings success on the scale of Fox Network shows in the 90s. It was solidly a Fox show of the era. Watercooler talk for younger cooler watercoolers. People tend to forget that especially in the 90s, Fox was still an upstart network that relied on bringing in younger demographics. Young people don't watch as much TV, but their eyes are more valuable to advertisers cause they're less set in their ways.UPN and WB tried to replicate this model, but ultimately didn't get the anchor hit that made the network.
>>221026283>the dancing CG baby>>221026290First ever internet meme
It was kind of just a show that was on. It was a thing the magazines would talk about because the cast were all pretty popular. It also helped boost the fad in the 90s of extra thin women with the lead having an ed
>>221023209Needs WAY more black people, a gay and a trans.
>>221026300>it was a different time
I watched re-runs of that show in the late 2000s when I was a kid and it was pretty funny. At least that's what I thought back then.
The only show I really remember watching in the 90s was murder she wrote, charmed and home improvement
>>221023252
>>221023209No one who was "growing up in the 90's" watched this. This shit was geared towards adults.
>>221026579>No one who was "growing up in the 90's" watched this. This shit was geared towards adults.I was born in 86. I watched it. The intro song forces itself upon me sometimes when I shower.
>>221026573I recognise most of those.
>>221025379The show had plenty of cheesecake for guys. Their was the promotional ads that had ally get asked to get some coffee and she fantasized about a giant coffee mug where she is making out with yhe guy. It is girl scrubs in a law office.
>>221026573That guy was lying, I recognise a bunch of these TV shows!
>>221025555Bullshit, the show was big before and after him. He was stunt casting after it was picking up steam. It was a big deal when he got in trouble because the fans loved his character.
>>221026573I'm a genx boomer and didn't really watch any of this. Cheers and Coach in the early 90's. Seinfeld and well, not much else in the mid 90's. Malcolm at the turn of the century. 90's sitcom was mostly trash in much the same way it is now.
>>221025607>>221026283>>221026290It was her having a maladpaptive daydream about wanting to have a baby.
>>221023209
>>221026397They did get lucy lui and portia de rossi.
>>221023209Yeah it seems like it was, but I never watched it because I was 12
>>221026579>>221026615If you were a kid then you had no choice if you didnt have cable or other games to play. Games were expensive back then. Donkey 2 cost close to 40 some dollars at kb toys.
>>221025607>It spawned one of the oldest widespread memes, the dancing babyThe dancing baby was already a "famous" meme that everyone was sharing via email. That's why they included it in the show.
>>221026636>>221026711Same, and I'm not even American.
>>221023473all i remember is cuddy from house being a tranny in it. some guy who was really sweaty and the guy from ghostbusters 2 having squeeky shoes in court. didnt the guy on the left have bleached hair at some point too
>>221028454As was the style at the time. Seriously, matt Damon hates that he had frosted tips in good will hunting.
>>221023209I was like 13 at the height of this show and I just remember it as "the show with the unisex bathroom"I never actually watched it
>>221023209It was pretty huge if you were around that age in the same way that Friends was huge.It kinda petered out in the end and people just stopped watching it.
