Well I didn't watch the toons in 91'
32%. 1991 was a bit of a wasteland for tv but besides these mentioned here I was also watching the last season of Head of the Class, and Star Trek: Next Gen.
I keep forgetting, there's no " None of the above" option! I started going to a revival theater where they had different programs for different nights of the week every month and the tickets were less than four bucks! Whatever shows I watched had my loyalty! In 91, they had to be DALLAS, IN LIVING COLOR, THE SIMPSONS, MARRIED WITH CHILDREN, TWIN PEAKS, HERMAN's HEAD (?) and Local T.V. shows or movies!
Guess I didn't watch much tv in '91, as I've never heard of many of those.
I got 63% similar is pretty good. It's the best flashback takes me back in the early 90s.
Carol Burnett was still on? Who knew?
The 1991 revival, which didn't last long.
FOX TV made the early 1990s very interesting. A whole new brand a television like The Simpsons, married with children, COPS, America's most wanted, etc. (and some of those shows aired for many years. The Simpsons is still on television … Yikes!)
The only thing I watched on Fox in those days was Comic Strip Live--so of course, they cancelled it.
COPS was a new TV show in 1991, and was doing very well on the ratings, but is not doing well in this poll.
I wonder how well the other responses correlate with the television ratings at the time?
Maybe MeTV could post these sometime for comparison . (I worked with data and statistics in the public health sector for many years... so I can't help but ask questions like this!)

Night Court: A Latino guy comes up for some charge I have forgotten (not the point). While he's standing there, another guy comes up for another charge, again forgotten, but when he tells the judge he had a Pinto, the Latino guy says, "Everybody else gets the cherry cars." I remember that after all this time even though I have not seen that series in years. I'd like to see it again. As for cartoons, instead of airing new-ish ones, I'd like to see Bill add The Ant and the Anteater, or any of the Pink Panther add ons he isn't airing now! (But LOVE Bill and Toony.) By the way the 80s was NOT my decade. Let's say I survived.
Favorite thing on Night Court--a group of people appear in front of Harrh from a wrestling match (a lady in the audience climbed into the ring and tried to beat one of the wrestlers silly). The attacked wrestler, Lou Ferrigno (Incredible Hulk), is wearing light-colored slacks and a long winter coat. After a bit, he asks if he can remove the coat. No green...no shirt...oh my, my, my, my, my....

"Garfield and Friends" still holds up today. The 'US Acres' segments were a riot.
51%. It was a good TV year
DISNEY CHANNEL & ABC Would've Got A Spinoff of MMC-THE ALL-NEW MICKEY MOUSE CLUB Called "THE PARTY SHOW" like to The Answer of Both THE MONKEES & THE STARLAND VOCAL BAND SHOW Starring "THE PARTY" and June Lockhart, Dan Lauria, Conrad Bain, Brooke Theiss & Marc 'Skip' Price.

Forgotten was sunday night 7 pm LIFE GOES ON, with the awesome KELLIE MARTIN, CHRIS BURKE,TRACEY NEEDHAM,BROADWAY LEGEND PATTI LUPONE, AND BILL SMITROVITCH AND IN THE FINAL SEASON CHAD LOWE!! AWESOME
Who in the hell wrote the first question? America's Funniest Home Videos was never on at eight unless ABC ran two episodes--even when Bob Saget hosted the original 30-minutes how, it was on at SEVEN!
Not a fan of the Bob Saget era of that show. Saget was lame as a host (including his attempts to do vocal impersonations during the videos) and during his hosting gig, I called the show "America's Stupidest Home Videos" (just as South Park did when it parodied the show's Saget era).
It probably was posted as central time. Which would be an hour earlier in some states.
I like the earlier episodes because Crow T Robot was a writer on them.
Depends what time zone you were in.
They still wouldn't be on at the same time. Instead of seven and eight, AFHV would be on at six and Murder, She Wrote at seven.
I should remember to avoid these 90s quizzes! There weree only a handful of shows I watched, and they were mostly UHF shows like ANGEL, MARRIED WITH CHILDREN, THE SIMPSONS and WWF SMACKDOWN!
I was MOSTLY into TV38's MOVIE LOFT which featured great movies from several decades! Who needed Susan Dey and Harry Hamlin when I had NATALIE WOOD and STEVE McQUEEN???
