I was in college, and the only "can't miss" program for me was Kids in the Hall, and 40 Helens agree with me.
Questions 4 and 12 needs a "None of the above." I wouldn't any of the options at gunpoint!
I totally agree with #4, but I was finding something else to do for #9 instead of #12. In fact, for 12 I picked a show I don't even remember.
Too bad you only count the "big 4" networks. Because, every Monday night in 1990 I was watching new episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
I liked Babylon Five myself.
Babylon 5 didn't premier until 1994 (1993 if you count the pilot "The Gathering")
I know that, just saying I liked Babylon 5
My favorite show of that year wasn't mentioned LIFE GOES ON we got to see Broadway Diva Patti Lupone as well as the talented Kellie Martin,Tracy Needham and who can forget Chris Burk that show was great with Kellie Martin and Chad lowe who in the fourth season played a character with AIDS a big deal in those days!
I remember AIDS being a big deal, but I don't remember even the name of that show!

It wouldn't let me change after a wrong selection!

You can't do that on a regular computer either.
73% similar...…......I actually had an evening job back then, so had to vote by what my P's would watch. Twin Peaks was a strange & intriguing priorityshow for me, though! Taped it if I had to work. So far off the beaten path of typical TV crap of that time.
68% similar. Apparently, my family were one of the few that preferred Rescue 911 over Who's the Boss.
"Golden Girls" wins out because who would want to watch an edited-for-TV "Beverly Hills Cop 2?" Unedited, yes.
There needs to be a "none of the above" option
There are too many where I would just turn off the TV & read a book.
or fire up the VCR

i loved The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air
With a catchy theme too. I remember Will had one or two rap songs come out too that sounded rather similar. Was that the late 80s?
