Wings
The Wonder Years

Wings might be the most underrated. It bounced around the schedule and hasn't been syndicated much, but is better than a lot of the higher profile shows.

Major Dad
The Torkelsons
The Wonder Years
Evening Shade
Northern Exposure

TNBC Hang Time is an underrated 90's sitcom than the original SBTB class series, no offense, IMO.

Tubehead · 07-07-2016, 11:33 PM

About the only 90s show I like is ROSANNE (I always wonder if she is really like that in person)

Can we include one-year wonders as underrated shows?

1. Wings- It is much better than more popular sitcoms from the 90s like Friends, Roseanne, Married with Children, The Simpsons, and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. I also like Wings more than Cheers which came from the same producers. Frasier tops them both though.
2. Coach- fantastic cast and show. It is also easily better than the overrated sitcoms I mentioned under Wings.
3. Mad About You- Helen Hunt deservedly won Emmys, but Paul Reiser deserved Emmy consideration as well. Their chemistry was what made the show. And it might have lasted longer, but ABC moving the final season of Home Improvement an hour earlier did not help Mad About You at all. Mad About You is so much better than Friends, the show that spun off from it. Yet MAY sadly hasn't had nearly the success in syndication.
4. Boy Meets World- It had a nice run for the original TGIF, but has not been syndicated much in a long time. No diginets have aired yet, Boy Meets World would be great for Antenna TV or LAFF. The obscure Teen Nick channel aired it, but that's it for cable in way too long. The college seasons weren't nearly as good, but seasons 1-5 were still high quality.
5. Sister, Sister- I had never seen Sister, Sister until I was on vacation this year in a place that got Fuse. It deserves to air on more available networks like BET, Bounce, and TV One.
