i did love Sweet Valley High, Wings, Boston Public, and The Practice.
Three off the top of my head… Herman’s head 1991-1994, get a life 1990-1992 Dream on 1990-1996
Freaks and Geeks, 1999-2000?
Due South was great!
Yes these shows: Dead at 21, She Wolf, The Aventures of Simbad, The Flash (the original one), Living Colour (Jim Carrey and Jennifer López became stars there)
"Parker Lewis Can't Lose" should have got a mention. That show ruled.
Agreed! That show was hilarious. My older brother and I loved it.
@@cavemanbum It indeed achieved coolness.
If we're assuming it's "forgotten," it absolutely should be high on the list
The Ferris Buellers Day Off knockoff that transcended that distinction, and was miles better than actual TV show version of the movie.
I was thinking “Parker Lewis” right before I saw your comment. Completely agreed.
I don’t really think of My So Called Life as a forgotten 90’s show because it’s such a pop culture icon that people still talk about the impact it had but if we’re going to bring forgotten or rarely mentioned 90’s shows into this I’d say Roswell should be on this list because that show was awesome!
Roswell forgotten? Think not. that show was huge for a generation and most still remember it. There is even a new version of it airing. So it hardly is forgotten..
@@Denis-89 I know there’s a new version and that it was popular at the time I just never hear people talk about it so it doesn’t seem like people remember it but I could be wrong! I just know I loved it!
Precisely, "My So Called Life" is still remembered fondly to this very day, despite its short runtime.
@@trinaq it was on Disney+ until now.
Roswell TV series was released on video DVDs for the whole series, and they also did a remake series so was not forgotten. They also did remakes series for Beauty and The Beast also Charmed.
The 92’ series “Ghostwriter”
was my jam!
ljbad
Yessss!
I remember the episode with that purple slime monster 😂😂😂 scared me to death as a kid….. “Slime, Anyone?”
2 guys and a girl is the show that introduced me to Ryan Reynolds, plus Beetleborgs was my show. I enjoyed them so much. And seeing the Beetleborg suits in forever red was cool to see.
The show that introduced me to Ryan Reynolds was a Canadian teen soap opera called Fifteen.
They kept changing the name.
@@andirandolph8830 I used to watch Fifteen around the early 90's. It was no 80's era General Hospital.
If i'm being honest, i always thought that Flabber looked like the Joker if he had Jay Leno's face and Elvis Presley's hairstyle.
vr troopers would kick beetleborgs asses
Loved Pete and Pete as a kid. I remember the episode that was about his dad having his elbow out the window. And there was always that guy that was the strongest man in the world but he was super nerdy. He did move a house a couple inches one time though.
They had a reunion a year ago.
Still up on UA-cam now.
Artie.
Sad when he left the show.
on a funny video on here he became
An ice cream man I think.
"I am Artie...the strongest man....in the woooorrrlllddd!!!" Lol
@@kurtmena8732 yes!!!
Pete's tattoo Petunia was a funny gag too
I remember being a kid and laughing at 70s and 80s style, how you could tell it was old just by the hair and how people dressed. And now feeling the same way about the 90s and early 2000s is kind of a gut punch, because I realize how old I am....
😂😂😂
😅
My so called Life truly was a gem, I remember my teenage self being devastated when they canceled the show. To add insult to injury, they replaced it with reruns of Matlock.
💔💔💔
Anybody remember savanna?
everyone was so obsessed with that
WB show.
Greatest show in television history
@@dnasty312 we need a reunion.
@@dnasty312 Agreed, almost all the other teen shows in the 90s was about rich kids living in California and living glamorous lives.
With MSCL we had a show that felt more real and that spoke to us.
Newsradio, Boston Common, Seaquest DSV, and Highlander were my favorite 90s gems.
The 90s look like the best time to be young and enjoy life!🥂
Less if you weren't white
Agreed
good times
It was awesome!
I was 8!
I have vague memories of the "Clueless" TV show, and while it was decent, the movie will always reign supreme. It's amazing that Stacey Dash, who was already in her late twenties in the movie, continued playing teenage Dionne into her thirties.
Black dont crack
Yea Crazy Stacey, smh.
They had one half of the o.g. cast
While everyone was new.
@@odogggg2010 Yeah, now _she’s_ the one who’s clueless.
@@COMPFUNK2 😂
The Adventures of Pete & Pete doesn’t even deserve an honorable mention because no one has ever forgotten this awesome show!
The Ben Stiller show was way ahead of its time. I watched it every week, and laughed my head off.
The lucky charms parody still stuck
With me to this very day.
Lucky clovers.😂
@@nehemiahpouncey3607 Lmao! Hell yeah!!!
I loved his parody of Grunge rock culture with "The Grungies".
The 90's had some of The Best TV shows.
Back when t.v. was fun and watchable.
Now we have reality garbage.
@@nehemiahpouncey3607 🎯
@@nehemiahpouncey3607 So on point ! 💯💪🏾
@@nehemiahpouncey3607 nah we are currently living in the golden age of television right now it simply just depends on what you are watching.
1:34 If Watchmojo made a "Top 10 Forgotten Child Stars" list, would the late Jonathan Brandis be on the list?
His death is truly sad. RIP Jonathan Brandis. :(
I remember about fifteen years back googling him to see what he was up to, and I was so sad. I loved him back in the day. Ladybugs was one of my favorite movies. And, who could forget him in IT?
@@jenniferzackschewski2189 As a youngster, I liked Jonathan in Ladybugs, the Neverending Story sequel & Sidekicks (the Chuck Norris-homage movie).
Unfortunately, I also remember E! Networks covering a story on Brandis's passing. I can't remember what it's called but it was very sad. :(
He was one my first celebrity crushed. Such a shame that the industry turned on him.
@@kenterminateddq5311, I loved Sidekicks, too. I almost forgot about that one. A super cheesy Karate Kid-type knockoff, but I still watched it all the time.
@@jenniferzackschewski2189 I remember watching it as a kid and really like Barry (Jonathan Brandis) always day-dreaming about being Norris's sidekick.
Oh, and Joe Piscopo (whatever you spell it) is really good as a villain.
That's a young Tobey Maguire playing the ghost kid in Eerie, Indiana.
I liked Erie Indiana but OMG I LOVED MY SO CALLED LIFE!!! Claire Danes is such a great actress and the writing was spectacular!! The last episode was such a cliff hanger!!! Angela finds out Brian wrote the note that she thought Jordan wrote all along, the way she looked at Brian after that!! That's how it ended!! 🤣🤣
What about these shows: The Commish, The Sinbad Show, Mystic Knights, Robocop: The Series, Honey I Shrunk the Kids: The Series, Alien Nation
I had such a crush on Jared Leto on My So Called Life. But Jonathan Brandis was my number one heart throb. RIP!
Also, one show that wasn't mentioned that I used to watch was VR Troopers.
#1 couldn't be anything other than MSCL. It's SO 90s, it almost feels like it was made as a period piece, but it's so authentic so you can tell it wasn't. I would LOVE it if they had more seasons. Such a quality show!
I don’t think My So-Called Life is a forgotten series. But I think the reason it only lasted one season is that for whatever reason, the series premiere was delayed; and it got pushed back so far that by the time it finally aired, the main cast had already moved on to other projects.
Who can forget about "Highlander"? Queen did the theme song "Princes of the Universe".
It's one of the more unforgettable shows.
THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE
Highlander had a show??
well most of the highlander franchie is full of things fans say is not as good as the first film the only other one they like is the anime film the others get forgotten
Again, I hope it is excluded because it's not "forgotten."
I've had Beetleborgs theme song stuck in my head for 25 years.
My So Called Life is a show we deserve to see where they ended up and how their life turned out.
rayanne married a prince (irl)
The Ben Stiller Show was awesome. Tons of hilarious skits and impersonations.
And seeing Janeane Garofalo in that skit brought back memories of Reality Bites
I LOVED Farscape. Jim Henson Creature Shop was, and still is, amazing.
Brotherly love is another forgotten 90s show as well, I love the Lawrence brothers sm 🥺❤️
The clip of the Ben Stiller show at the beginning of the video looks like it's from the 70's.
Eerie, Indiana! That show was one of the biggest inspiration for Stranger Things aside from the Goonies! Also, anyone remember Ghostwriter, that show has so forgotten and there’s barely anyone talks about the show nor any kids that starred in the show even did any other series nor movie!
"Parker Lewis Can't Lose" is a must for this list. It was SO much funnier than "Saved By the Bell" and the "Clueless" TV show.
How did I NOT know that Clueless was made into a series?! 🤯
Yep it had like one half of the original
Movie cast while the rest was new.
I'd certainly heard of most of these but I don't remember watching any on a regular basis.
Y’all did a great job of reminding me of so many shows I used to watch as a kid, especially ones that were family favorites, like Highlander. It made me remember others like Earth 2, The Pretender, Profiler, and Early Edition. Fond memories. Thank you!! 😊
I forgot about those shows too.
I always liked during commercial break
He'll walk then swing the sword at the
Viewer.
I always acted liked he hitted me.
Remember ABC had a horror series
Forgot the name of it.
All I remember the saying was there is
No god.
@@nehemiahpouncey3607 I remember that I cried to hard during “The Innocent” (episode 3) that my parents had to pause the playback on the VHS. “Sarah, are you okay??” “NO! Miley go see the king of trains!!” 😭❤️
"This wont take long" Almost spit my water out over that one
You left out Viper, it ran from 1994 to 1999 for four seasons. The show was backed by Chrysler to promote the Dodge Viper and unlike other TV shows, the Viper Defender was actually designed by Chrysler's engineers instead of being customized by film picture designers
Cool car, but the lead was about as charismatic as a box of nails. I'm reminded of the genius black guy in the wheelchair though...not to be confused with M.A.N.T.I.S. which also had a paralyzed black guy who was a mechanical genius, which was not to be confused with the earlier War of the Worlds: The Series which also had a paralyzed black guy who was a genius.
Even though it's not in 90s but malcolm in the middle is almost forgotten in pop culture..it was so fun!
@@AmiriHipHop just about to say this. MITM is a TV staple in history. Plus it'll always be brought back up because of Breakimg Bad.
It came out in January 2000 tbh we can make a cause for forgotten 2000s shows
I remember “Farscape” was first aired on Channel Nine in a late night slot, so it was hard to get an audience. The commercial channels (especially Nine and Seven) routinely buried shows that weren’t big ratings hits in impossible late night slots, like “The Sopranos”, “Arrested Development”, and “30 Rock”
It wasn't a great show, but it was WAY better than the insufferable (and cheap) LEXX.
@@kev3d I saw bits of Farscape on TV, but I was never a big fan.
Yet another one that deserved a top 20. Also nice to see that Pete and Pete made the list.
Give it a few months.
I remember Beetleborgs, watched all of Metallix in 3rd grade but missed out on the og.
Nobody forgot about My So-Called Life.
I had no idea Carol Burnett had a show in the 90s! 🤯
I grew up watching Beetleborgs back then! it was also a childhood favorite of mine!
That's so crazy that I completely forgot about the show big Bad Beetleborgs on Fox Kids.
Same ! 💯
Sports Night! I'm now old enough to have seen it go from often recommended gem (late 2000s when I watched it) to absolutely forgotten.
I can't believe The Wayans Brothers or The Jamie Foxx Show didn't make the list especially when Foxxs' show helped further launch his career
Key words “forgotten about”
Speaking of such, wasn't the sketch show "In Living Color" another forgotten 90s show (or was it in the 80s)?
It starred the Wayans Brothers and launched a new comedian on the world - Jim Carrey!
Nightmare Cafe. A real forgotten great show cut short staring Robert Englund's return to horror. Most of these shows I remember.
That show's poster can be seen on a Seinfeld season four episode, as Jerry and George wait in a NBC lobby to pitch their TV show idea.
What about Dinosaurs? It’s a great and hilarious show, but I never see anybody talking about it.
I have seen a few people talk about it
nah i've seen plenty talk about it, especially after they discover the dark ass finale.
It's still talked about the show is on Disney plus now
Greatest series finale ever. Earl causing their world to end
Madtv that was the best. Still the funniest show, way better than SNL. I miss the 90s.
Also: Jonathan Brand-ice? Lol
Except for nearly everything being prerecorded.
Can't believe that Forever Knight didn't make the list here. That was an excellent show.
Love and watch Farscape every year. Fantastic cast and world building.
Beetleborgs!!!! I forgot all about that show! This is a blast from the past!
I used to pretend to be Beetleborgs, Power Rangers, and VR Troopers when I was a kid.
Thanks for the reminder, Watch Mojo
I loved Beetleborgs, Power Rangers and VR Troopers when I was younger. And you can’t forget about Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog.
One lesser known and all but forgotten 90’s show I loved is wishbone.
Back in the decade where TV shows were either on Network tv or Cable. Streaming, social media, smartphones? Years away...
SeaQuest was my favorite! I had the biggest teen crush on Jonathan Brandis (RIP)
Out of all those shows, Farscape was and remains the best. It won many awards, the cst was excellent and the stories were just ridiculously funny at times. We true fans were so infuriated when it was cancelled, we put together a campaign and raised enough money to beg people to watch. Due to our dedication, the studio made a two part movie to wrap up the ending. I have never forgotten this show and have the whole series and movies on Blu-ray. Frell!
I have never forgotten about My So Called Life.
That show has been living rent free in my head since I was 16 y/o and watched the show in the 90s
My So Called Life and Seaquest were great shows as well. Though "Get A Life" needed @least a honorable mention
How is it the Canadians failed to mention "Due South"? I loved that show to pieces! It introduced me to Paul Haggis (the creator-long before he won his writing Oscar), the music of Sarah McLachlin & Loreena McKennitt, and the acting talents of Paul Gross & the living legend Gordon Pinsent.
That was a really fun show and enjoyable to watch.
I am watching it on Netflix right now!! Lol
Such fail mojo. DS was ace.
Due South was cute but cliched.
Seaquest dsv, Beetleborgs, Farscape and Clueless are the one's I remember the most and I agree that the puppets from FS were impressive especially the fan favorite Pilot Character
same with most
I'm surprised there's no mention of "Parker Lewis Can't Lose". It pioneered the "single-cam-fast-edit" of later shows such as "Malcolm in the Middle".
My So Called Life?! Who do y’all think have forgotten this show!?
Chris Elliot's "Get a Life" only ran for 2 seasons in the early 90's, but had well over a decade's worth of laughs.
you know what show i used to love Tales from the crypt i love the short stories and its filled with great actors from brad pitt to joe pesci
Loved that show!
Great show!!
John Leguizamo's House Of Buggin' was a great show
"The Ben Stiller Show" was hilarious! A collection of wild, unexpected skits with guest stars like John Leguizamo and James Doohan (Scottie from Star Trek).
The show is on DVD now.
Ben stiller still look's the same.😂
Oooh Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place was when I fell in love with Ryan Reynolds. 😍💕 I can't believe I haven't been able to find that show anywhere. 😔
Yeah! DARK SKIES!!! pretty much a re do of the awesome 60s show The Invaders
Bruh!!!! Set your Swatches!!!! How could Parker Lewis Can't Lose not be there!?!?!?! That was by far my favorite 90's show in Fox's infancy....
So happy Pete and Pete at the very least got a mention. I find it shocking how many of my peers don’t remember it at all, because I personally think it was one of the most creative and well-written live action kids shows ever. Not to mention the friggen amazing soundtrack ❤️
My son LOVED the Beetle Borgs... I haven't thought about it since it stopped existing
The second it was mentioned - the theme song immediately took up lodging in my head totally unasked for
Thanks watch mojo
I still remember a lot of these shows. Pete & Pete was a fave when I was a kid. I hated the Clueless show and for some reason, I thought My so called life was on for more than a season
The Ben Stiller Show was hysterical!!
For the 90s child I remember… “Roundhouse”, “Ghostwriter”, and “The Parent ‘Hood” were my shows.
Finally someone said it - The parent hood
Two Guys, A Girl..etc was a rad TV show and hasn't been forgotten by me - I want it to be on streaming....
Nathan Fillion & Ryan Reynolds would be great in a movie/show together
I definitely did not forget about the clueless show because I use to watch all the time as well as 2 guys and a girl at a pizza place which begin my love from Ryan Reynolds. My sis was a teen when My So Call Life came out and would watch it too as a kid.
Should have mentioned Roundhouse. That show was something else. The gang episode is the one episode that still sticks with me.
I can never forget about Beetleborgs and the Adventures of Pete and Pete
A great list but I’d also add the show I honestly thought was a figment of my imagination until I rediscovered it many years later: The Fox series “Parker Lewis Can’t Lose.” Along with Salute Your Shorts of course.
Some of these I have never even heard of, I never forgot Clueless though, I can't think that anyone would unless they aren't a fan of the movie.
Exactly!
I remember all of those shows so they’re not forgotten I have half of them on DVD collections. Adventures of Pete and Pete is amazing.
I loved the adventures of Pete and Pete. Nickelodeon was in its prime in the 90s!
I watched Eerie, Indiana when it was on. Loved it
One of my favorite forgotten shows is Malibu Shores!!! Starring Keri Russell and Tony Lucca!!! 💕
Loved loved LOVED 2guys a girl & a pizza place. When RR started doing movies I went just bc I ❤ him in that show.
Pete and Pete theme song will always live in my memory rent free…
I had forgotten the title Stark Raving Mad, but I never forgot the joke about 14 pages of the letter K. I laughed until I cried.
I watched SeaQuest on Peacock until they decided you have to pay for a subscription to stream it.
"...Star Trek under water."
Those are two of my favorite things. I'm gonna have to-Oh no, they've got a Wesley!
Seaquest is still fun to watch.
I love Tony Shalhoub, I need to watch Stark Raving Mad.
Clueless the show was still pretty awesome.
2 guys a girl and a pizza place was one of my fav shows in the 90s.
I cannot believe "The Pretender" was not on that list (although having aired for a while). The higlander was awesome, though.
I was born the year the show came out. So I've never heard of it until my ma bought the complete series DVD collection of The Pretender. The two leads of that show are more popular for playing Disney-owned characters with Michael T. Weiss playing Tarzan in his TV show (in addition to other voice roles in DC comic based cartoons AND Dormammu in a Marvel vs Capcom game). And Andrea Parker eventually got on Pretty Little Liars, where she and Ryan Merriman aka young Jarod (who's been in every single episode, that they should've let him in the main cast) who was already playing a recurring character got to reunite! My ma also just bought the original script from a season 1 episode of The Pretender!
I enjoyed the Clueless TV show and liked the idea of Seaquest even if it seemed complicated to me as a child. My favorite forgotten series of the 1990s is « Early edition » , I wish it had continued ! Spellbinder was quite good too , I liked the story and the transformation scenes / costumes. « Two guys , a girl and a pizza place » sounds like fun , I wonder if it’s watchable.Oh « Highlander » was also a favorite ! I enjoyed the characters and Adrian Paul . « Boston public » probably played a role in my becoming a teacher too ! I can’t remember if « My so called life » aired in France but it does sound great .
I played the interactive version on Episodes story app, but never watched the show. Still very cool!!!
@@eugenelau3927 I didn’t know there was a game based on « Early edition » but it definitely works well for à Choose you Mr own adventure game since that’s the plot of each episode (the protagonist must understand what the headline means and help the person involved or help prevent or bring about the event). Thanks for telling me !
@@moleshaman3040 Now , You do know. But downloading will take up Phone space and gigabytes!!!
Don't forget Hercules and Xena.
Also silk stockings.
Agreed about Hercules and Xenia though I wish they had been more accurate to the myths ,it broke the immersion for me even as a child. Just remembered another series that I love from back then « Big Wolf on campus » , Merton was definitely a big influence on me growing up. « Weird science » which was shown back to back with « Big Wolf » in France was also a fun watch . I was also a fan of « The secret world of Alex Mack » , I was glad to watch the reunion video on UA-cam a few years ago.
I remember a show called "Cupid" starring Jeremy Piven and Paula Marshall. It aired for only 15 episodes in 1998-99. It was a hip, smart romantic comedy with Piven claiming to actually be Cupid, the Roman God of Love, who has to unite 100 couples, without the use of any of his magic powers, in order to return to Mount Olympus. Marshall is the Psychologist assigned to his case. It was revived in 2009 with Bobby Cannavale and Sarah Paulson in the roles and that too was cancelled after an even lesser 7 episodes. I really loved the show and I believe you can find episodes on here.
No one ever forgot about the big bad beetle borgs. That show stays with you for life
I haven't forgotten how funny the Ben Stiller was.😍😍😍😍
Dark Skies still 1 of my all-time favorite shows
Beakmen's World this Educational show was so fun to watch on Saturday Mornings.
Oh my goodness!!! That's a blast from the past!!! I remember that show well!!!
Beakman was awesome!!
"The Edge" with Julie Brown, Tom Kenny (voice of SpongeBob), Wayne Knight, and Jennifer Aniston.
Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation (1997-1998.) It deserved to be forgotten so quickly.
Grady oats!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I’ll never forget that skit from the Ben stiller show! 😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you for remembering. 🦋
