About four or five of these actually had staying power: Martin, Mad About You, Hanging With Mr. Cooper, Picket Fences. Hearts Afire made it to a second season, but not much longer than that. Most of these openings do literally scream “I’m from the 1990s!”...
These things made me realize one thing. It's amazing how much crap you have to do before you get your big breakout role. Amazing how many memorable names doing shows you've never heard of (and were in your 20s at the time).
american here, im not sure if you missed it, but the video is based on shows in the 90s, if you dont believe me the title says 92 thats proof so its no surprises this video is very 90s
I’ve really enjoyed watching these! I think, like most decades, you could split the 90’s into two parts. The first part (90-93) was an extension of the late 80’s, and trying to find its own voice. The second part (94-99) was geared towards Gen X, and reflected the cynicism of the era. This seems to be the peak of that first part.
DJ Kinney It was a great time, but just because things were good, that had nothing to do with the culture. Once grunge went mainstream, cynicism was everywhere; in movies - like Clerks, tv - Beavis and Butthead, music, even food - remember O.K. Soda?
Two words why Picket Fences is one of my favorite show in 92: LAUREN HOLLY!!!!!!! She help me through puberty that year.She and Gillian Anderson and Dana Delany are probably the sexiest red heads in the 90s!!!!!!
I don't think I ever watched that show, or even knew about it. And I doubt wearing a trench coat and hat makes anyone say "Oooh, we better not mess with these guys." And that bald guy- didn't he ever have hair?
All right, you're going more into MY decade. (lol) I was legitimately shocked when I learned Hangin with Mr. Cooper had a first season and a theme song totally different from the ones I'd grown up with on TGIF.
I actually remember both versions of the show, and even though I was a kid at the time I vaguely remember actually liking the original more "adult" version better than the TGIF "family friendly" one, might have to go back and watch some of it now.
Kandi Gloss I remember thinking the 1st season was “more adult” & they retooled Seasons 2+ for TGIF when younger, but then I went back and watched an episode where it crossed over with Full House. Needless to say “all seasons of the show belong on TGIF.” Lmao! Still loved the show!
Black representation was so good in the early to mid 90's. Then all black sitcoms seemed to completely disappear and they're still incredibly rare now.
@@bitteralmonds666 Organic is a good word for it. I was 19 years old in 1992 and the so-called black shows existed because they were popular, expected, and normal. Nobody was forcing anything (aside from normal tv misfires); this material was popular so here’s more of it, plus it had broad appeal while still keeping the “ethnic” flavor. Edit: as I was typing this, Martin came on. A perfect example, my gf/wife and I watched that show for years. Were we the demographic? Yes, because the show was for EVERYBODY, it just happened to star a cast of black people and never apologized for it.
Are you kidding? How can you watch early shows marketed to black audiences, with their overuse of black signifiers like hip-hop music and "funky" font choices, and think they were meant for everyone? Any show put on the air on a major network has ALWAYS been about money and "capturing demographics". Any black person who got on the air in the early 90s did so because of lot of white people saw dollar signs. People are so desperate to be nostalgic. Ask black people how great the early 90s were.
The closed captioning and the "In Stereo" plugs seemly make it obvious. CBS and NBC all had their logo and/or network name in the In Stereo bug (CBS pushed that well beyond when many stations broadcasted in stereo as a rule). The 3D closed captioning bug was ABC's (the only one that did that), and so was the "In Stero Where Available" bug that was surrounded by those icons we put to mobile pay today. The cursive "In Stereo" bug was Fox, unless it was the one shown on The Edge. I hadn't seen that one before, so I was wondering who had that one, but I'm guessing it was one that they were trying out or was something their distributors used instead. To me, I think CBS had the cleanest bug for their "In Strereo" bug. It was slick, it felt like they put a brand name to it (they had a "TM" to theirs, so perhaps that was a brand name) and that they used a different technology than anyone else, and it just looked cool, especially when they added the blue color to it. I wonder if they were the first to go stereo sound.
_Mad About You_ was a total piss off.. especially about the fight between Jamie and Paul. She did just as bad as what Ross did on _Friends_, but she was expected to get a pass because of her gender! That duplicity was when the "rules for thee not for me" narrative started with feminism especially.
@@Panwere36 Jamie was fine to me. Paul was the @$$, especially in the episodes where he left her because she briefly kissed another man. I lost all respect for the show after that. Also, it's pretty annoying that the credits never changed for the run of the show. Helen Hunt looked far better with long hair, but they kept the short bob visible for the entire show's run via the credits.
Camp Wilder 6:33 theme was a wicked rip off of "Walk Don't Run" by The Ventures and Great Scott theme 7:14 is a note for note rip of "Been Caught Stealin'" by Janes Addiction. Brutal
The producers of Great Scott were like “We need something that sounds exactly like Jane’s Addiction, but we ain’t paying Jane’s Addiction money, ya know what I’m saying?”
Kept expecting singer to announce he was caught stealing once and he never did. The music producer didn't even try to hide how bitter he was at not getting that song.
There were some very distinctive themes emerging during this time. If you were to go back to some of those 80's new show intro videos you hear lots of saxophone intros but watching this season you hear lots of piano. Another theme is hip-hop. This was the era of In Living Color, New Jack City, and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. TV was now changing its focus to Gen X. You would see this focus grow with the eventual launch of networks like UPN and The WB in 1995.
I remember syndication of the 1992 season a lot better. The 90s were a great time for syndication. Highlander the Series began (though I wouldn't start watching it until the following year), Kung Fu: The Legend Continues (mmm, Chris Potter
That was an incredible range of musical styles used back then. I remember thinking that the music for new series just three earlier was so generic that it could have been use for any series.
Could anybody have foreseen that, 30 years later, the only one from The Ben Stiller Show who would still be relevant, and, working, would be Bob Odenkirk?
I watched a total of 3 of those 30 shows. The two sketch comedy shows, The Edge and The Ben Stiller Show, were like early attempts by Fox that eventually lead to MadTV.
The intro to The Round Table did in fact use the first two verses of "Young Americans", and stopped abruptly after the second chorus. I do like the version you put together, though!
Thanks. Not even sure why they used that as the theme for the series since the lyrics don't really seem to reflect much of anything about it, going by my vague memory of it and its description, unless it was merely to stress that most of the characters were "Young Americans."
Don't remember The Edge . Wonder whatever became of Jennifer Aniston ( Friends) , Wayne ( Seinfeld) Night , Tom ( Spongebob) Kenney and his wife Jill Talley? 😉
Who came up with the dumb idea of The Hat Squad? I was channel surfing the TV late one night and that show was on and first thing was W.T.F. was I dreaming or it's this show a comedy?
Damn man lol I miss some of these shows Ytf did all the intros ( the heights) look a Levi's commercial lol Oh yea that time delta decided to be blonde....NOOOO!!!lol
You beat me to it. I also was working an overnight shift at the time. I didn't miss anything apparently. And television has been going downhill ever since.
*_Picket Fences_* was a guilty pleasure show of epic proportions. The plots that they skewered things like gender politics, neo conservatism, and the real sources of both racial and cultural bigotry in America these days would have insured the show never would have aired within the last ten years especially. David E. Kelly has become an unspoken pariah because of his blatantly moderate and clear thinking take on the extremes of both sides. The way his last two series ( *_Boston Legal_* and *_Harry_* ) were treated by both ABC and NBC in their hypocrisy to pander to all of the unhinged extreme groups on all sides is proof of how television is a propaganda device more than for entertainment these days.

Was in Okinawa that year. I don't remember these..Oh except Mad About You, and Golden Girls. Also Picket Fences which I never watched. Those are from when I came back in 93.
Covington Cross only aired 7 episodes, the final was on Halloween of 92, but 13 or 14 were produced. I once had someone tell me 7 isn't enough to judge if a show is good or bad, but most shows don't even make it past the pilot- in which case the pilot isn't even aired. I liked picket fences, but couldn't quite understand what it was trying to portray/say it was some in a town that has some weird extreme events- a priest with a high heel fetish, the bombastic annoying lawyer finkle, animal sacrifices, shooting patatoes at bully's car with a spud gun............hmm.
These were all so 90s that they'll never EVER be mistaken for another era
1992 was probably peak 90's.
@@DJKinney Well, the end of one decade always influences the start of another.

Man, did someone forget Uptown Julie Brown
SpongeBob and Newman were in a show together. That’s probably a bar trivia answer waiting to happen.
Also, 1992 seemed to be the year of wholesome mellow heartland-style piano tunes.
Every intro looks like some low-rent C+C Music Factory video
Great Scott! intro sounds like it was done by Jane's Addiction...Either that or the show lifted "Been Caught Stealing" and did their own take

its a lot older than I thought. I assumed it debuted with the WB network later in the 90s.
I remember both versions very well i prefer the En Vogue version than the Soul Man and that other last lame them song in last two seasons
I remember both clearly.i don't think the soul man theme was used until raven joined the cast
Picket Fences one of the most under rated shows in television history

Huge thanks. I knew there was a show about a white DJ at a black radio station but forgot the name of the show until now.

In 1992 I was mostly watching TNN (The Nashville Network), TBS and Nick At Nite.

The Ben Stiller Show was fantastic and should have lasted longer.
Were Ben and Janeane dating at this time?
I'm always amused by the obvious trends in these. Apparently intro collages were extremely in for 5 minutes, then never used again.

Was in Okinawa that year. I don't remember these..Oh except Mad About You, and Golden Girls. Also Picket Fences which I never watched. Those are from when I came back in 93.
@John Bold The Golden Girls started in 1985, so you're right. That was the spinoff in the video, The Golden Palace. It did not do well.
Covington Cross only aired 7 episodes, the final was on Halloween of 92, but 13 or 14 were produced. I once had someone tell me 7 isn't enough to judge if a show is good or bad, but most shows don't even make it past the pilot- in which case the pilot isn't even aired. I liked picket fences, but couldn't quite understand what it was trying to portray/say it was some in a town that has some weird extreme events- a priest with a high heel fetish, the bombastic annoying lawyer finkle, animal sacrifices, shooting patatoes at bully's car with a spud gun............hmm.
I loved the Hat Squad.
Wow 😳
Why does every intro look like a full motion video cut scene from a Sega CD game.
I think the round table actually used All I Want by toad the wet sprocket
