Which of these iconic Nineties shows actually started in the 1980s?
Try to place these premieres in the right decade!
Iconic shows like Full House, Friends, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Seinfeld will forever be tied to the 1990s. It’s the decade when all these shows really hit their stride and became massive hits. But two out of those four actually started in the late 1980s.
It’s the same for teen shows like Beverly Hills, 90210 and Saved by the Bell or sci-fi series like Quantum Leap and The X-Files. All are associated with the Nineties but a few started the decade prior.

19/20. D'oh!
12 0f 20. Gee, didn't watch most of them
18 out of 20! 😁😁😁😁😁
20 out of 20.
SEINFELD was the only one I missed. For some reason I thought that it premiered in January of 1990.
Simpsons got me. 19/20
10/10
Watched Walker, Diagnosis: Murder, Doogie Howser and The Nanny. I've seen one episode of the X-Files (because Richard Belzer was a guest star), might have eventually discovered Family Matters if they hadn't brought in Urkle the jerk and wouldn't watch Friends if you paid me.

Missed Doogie Howser and Seinfeld.
Missed Diagnosis Murder and Home Improvement. Never watched those shows anyway.🥱
18/20 I knew A Different World was the spin off of The Cosby Show, But didn't know 100% what year it started and I should've known Family Matters was 80's as well since Full House was as well. I remember watching them both on TGIF with Step by Step, Mr. Belvedere and even Dinosaurs! So frustrating...
I remember watching TGIF! That block of shows were amazing! When TV was the best!👍
Yes
11/20…😬
I got 14/20. I was on a roll then missed three straight.
17/20. Lots of guesses. Several of these were very close to the end of the80"s or beginning of the 90's.
12/20 🤗
11/20 what the heck, I’m in my 60’s.😃
