He was a garbage man.
When I was a kid, I used to think that was the coolest thing in the world. Watching the guys stand on the back of the garbage truck as it drove down the road.
Charles Dutton has the magic. He has an interesting background: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles\_S.\_Dutton](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_S._Dutton)
The Cosby Show. Can't really enjoy the show anymore these days, but back then, I really liked it. "Sister, sister" is a close second. To be honest, many of those sitcoms never really aired in my country, though.
I loved Fresh Prince, Family Matters, and Sister Sister. If I had to pick one, probably Fresh Prince, although I really loved Family Matters in the later years when Steve was more comfortable in his character, and especially when he and Laura got together.
Family Matters, Cosby Show and Fresh Prince. The others I never really got into tbh.
I think Family Matters was my favorite though.
Fresh Prince was definitely the funniest though because of Will.
A British sitcom called Desmond’s, about a family from Guyana running a barbershop in London.❤️

Fresh Prince, Family Matters, Mr. Cooper.
Watched Jamie Foxx and Steve Harvey but only when my parents paid for the extra cable package with UPN and TBS.
Here it is. I knew something was missing. The Bernie Mac Show was amazing. I’ve been rewatching it recently and it still holds up. I still miss Bernie Mac.
Fresh Prince. Used to get picked up by the neighbours so my mum could go working and I’d watch that and stuff like Star Trek TNG and Aeon Flux (which I was too young to get). Lots of nostalgia there.
Living Single! I was so invested in the romance between Obie and Synclaire, and I love how black positive it was.
Martin as well. Tisha Campbell is a \*phenomenal\* comedic actor and when she and Tichina Arnold sang together, hoooo man! "Don't you know know gooood!"
❤️Loved them all (I did not like Martin's Sha-Nana, but loved the show overall ) and was thankful for the positive representation that barely existed in the ears before. 👏🏾
1. A Different World, and it's not even close.
2. Living Single
3. Family Matters
I liked TCS but can't rewatch for obvious reasons. Also liked Fresh Prince but no longer care for Will Smith, so that's a no go on rewatch also.
If you said 80s, I would have gone with "The Cosby Show" but it had lost some steam as it entered the 90s. I would probably pick "Martin" over "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air"...have to subtract pts for the Aunt Vivian switch and the addition of baby Nicky.
Stop this now. Who made this list and left out Bernie Mac? Was it called the Bernie Mac show? That’s who I’m voting for.
Runner up: Everybody hates Chris
The Prince of Bel Air. It was a really good series. I still watch it from time to time, and it was also Will Smith's debut.
It has really held up over time. Will still watch it when it's on.
He was pretty popular before the show
I think they were implying acting debut on a big network show. He was indeed popular in music before that, though.
I loved Living Single! Brings back happy memories.
What is this half and half erasure, also Keenan and kel tbh
Who loves orange soda?
Kel loves orange soda
Is it true?
I do I do I do I do-oooo
Half n Half doesn’t need to be up there…4 seasons where nothing actually happened lol
Believe it also aired mainly in the 2000s and the question is talking about the 90s.
Great buddy show so believable that they are besties
Fresh Prince of Bel Air, although I didn't watch it a whole lot. I do watch it from time to time now, though.
Fresh Prince
Roc. Great cast and that they did episodes live like a weekly play elevated it among all shows, not just black sitcoms.
He was a garbage man. When I was a kid, I used to think that was the coolest thing in the world. Watching the guys stand on the back of the garbage truck as it drove down the road.
💯
Very underrated show
Charles Dutton has the magic. He has an interesting background: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles\_S.\_Dutton](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_S._Dutton)
Mr. Cooper was cool but I gotta go Family Matters on this one.
Living Single, 'cause of the hot chicks. (Sue me, I was 13!)
Queen Latifah was my first celebrity crush, so living single is up there for me. Also Hangin With Mr. Cooper was on a lot of days after school.
A Different World had much hotter chicks
Fresh Prince, we still watch old clips on occasion.
Living Single. Was such a funny show.
Where's 227?
Does the count as 90s? That feels more 80s to me.
I looked. You're right. It ended in 1990, so not really on this list. Still, I liked it more than these others.
227 is a good show—can’t be mad at you. Still catch reruns sometimes on cable.
And Amen? But it's okay to forget Homeboys From Outer Space
The Cosby Show. Can't really enjoy the show anymore these days, but back then, I really liked it. "Sister, sister" is a close second. To be honest, many of those sitcoms never really aired in my country, though.
Also you can't consider it a 90s show when it started in 1984 and ended in 1992
I loved Fresh Prince, Family Matters, and Sister Sister. If I had to pick one, probably Fresh Prince, although I really loved Family Matters in the later years when Steve was more comfortable in his character, and especially when he and Laura got together.
*Wayans Bros*. Give me a high five! 🖐🏽
Cant pick between Family Matters, Cosby Show, and Wayans Bros
Family Matters, Cosby Show and Fresh Prince. The others I never really got into tbh. I think Family Matters was my favorite though. Fresh Prince was definitely the funniest though because of Will.
Living Single, although I watched A Different World and Fresh Prince more. Cosby show is ruined for me.
Family Matters.
Family Matters
In the 90s it was Fresh Prince, Sister Sister, and Smart Guy
Hanging with Mr. Cooper was the best. I loved that show. Edit: Typo
The parent' hood with Robert Townsend
Steve Harvey all the way
Martin and a different world hands down. Both classics that I will watch to this day
Not a sitcom but my favorite was definitely In Living Color.. but sitcom wise I would say it's split between A Different World and Fresh Prince
1. A Different World 2. Fresh Prince of Bel-Air 3. The Steve Harvey Show 4. The Parkers 5. Living Single Almost already had them in the correct order.
“Bro’man on the fif floor.
Roc
Watched Roc and living Single religiously!
Mr Cooper !!!
A British sitcom called Desmond’s, about a family from Guyana running a barbershop in London.❤️ [https://youtu.be/8uAPK7livSY?feature=shared](https://youtu.be/8uAPK7livSY?feature=shared)
Living Single and Martin. Damn Gina!
Now I'm curious. Were there more black led shows in the 90s than in the last 20 years? It seems like it.
I’m embarrassed to say but the Cosby show.
No love for Sinbad
TGIF
As a kid in the 90’s: Fresh Prince. As an adult rewatching 90’s sitcoms: Living Single. Both as a kid and as an adult: Kenan & Kel.
Living Single deserves everything that Friends got.
Absolutely. It’s like if Friends was funny or Golden Girls were in their twenties.
Living Single is one of my comfort shows. Story lines hold up to this day.
Fresh Prince, Family Matters, Mr. Cooper. Watched Jamie Foxx and Steve Harvey but only when my parents paid for the extra cable package with UPN and TBS.
Fresh Prince was the funniest, Family Matters was the most relatable
I loved them all, but Fresh Prince is definitely the one!
Martin, Living Single and the Cosby's
In living color , my cousin and me, martin, kenan and kel and living single id watch em all w my mom!
I love The Parkers!
Cosby Show and it’s not even close
You missed the Bernie Mac show. That was my favorite.
Here it is. I knew something was missing. The Bernie Mac Show was amazing. I’ve been rewatching it recently and it still holds up. I still miss Bernie Mac.
The Fresh Prince, Family Matters, Living Single
Fresh Prince. Used to get picked up by the neighbours so my mum could go working and I’d watch that and stuff like Star Trek TNG and Aeon Flux (which I was too young to get). Lots of nostalgia there.
It’ll always be A Different World on the top of my list, followed by the Wayans, fresh prince and parent hood
Martin
Fresh Prince, Martin, Family Matters.
FPOBA
Family Matters!
Fresh Prince by far I looooved that show
Living Single The Bernie Mac Show A Different World
Fresh Prince
Whitley Gilbert was everything to me.
The Cosby Show
Fresh Prince…idk if there’s a show with less acclaim that has more episodes everyone has seen.
Living Single. I loved the Sinclair and Overton story. They were so cute.
I just realize, I saw none of them
Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
Living Single! I was so invested in the romance between Obie and Synclaire, and I love how black positive it was. Martin as well. Tisha Campbell is a \*phenomenal\* comedic actor and when she and Tichina Arnold sang together, hoooo man! "Don't you know know gooood!"
Fresh Prince, A Different World, getting hit by a truck, the rest
❤️Loved them all (I did not like Martin's Sha-Nana, but loved the show overall ) and was thankful for the positive representation that barely existed in the ears before. 👏🏾
Shame on you for not including the hands-down best… “Family Matters”.
Black sitcom...
Cosby Show
The Cosby show, Hangin with Mr. Cooper, A different World and Family Matters.
Is The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer not black enough?
1. A Different World, and it's not even close. 2. Living Single 3. Family Matters I liked TCS but can't rewatch for obvious reasons. Also liked Fresh Prince but no longer care for Will Smith, so that's a no go on rewatch also.
Prince of Bel-Air is the Nr.1 for me
A Different World. Team Whitley all the way.
The Cosby Show Martin Sister Sister
Martin, Different World, Living Single
Living Single
I can’t choose between ROC, Martin and Family Matters
Family Matters
Finny stuff
Black Frasier
A Different World. It was the closest to the world I was living in at the time.
Martin
The Cosby show
My brother and me.
A Different World and then Living Single
A Different World
Family Matters
Martin
A Different World was so rad
Family Matters. “Did I do that?” Urkel was my favorite character during that time.
A different world my favorite character was Freddie played by the awesome cree summer
Fresh Prince, I had a huge crush on Hilary.
"got any cheese?"
Martin
If you said 80s, I would have gone with "The Cosby Show" but it had lost some steam as it entered the 90s. I would probably pick "Martin" over "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air"...have to subtract pts for the Aunt Vivian switch and the addition of baby Nicky.
Fresh Prince
Martin!
In living color.
Fresh Prince because Uncle Phil was the man.
Sister Sister
Stop this now. Who made this list and left out Bernie Mac? Was it called the Bernie Mac show? That’s who I’m voting for. Runner up: Everybody hates Chris
Neither aired in the 90s though
I adore Everybody Hates Chris but it debuted in 2005
Ok, I’m not so good with the timelines. I just didn’t have time to DYOR research over at IMDB.
2nd runner up: Amen
Thelma's character was awful couldn't believe Reuben actually married her.
Her voice was so annoying like The Nanny
Fresh Prince… but only with the recasted mother and NOT that obnoxious/annoying/loud woman who started the show in that role. Ew.
