Many audiences and critics alike talk about the “golden age” that television is now in, but in spite of the quality of programming that’s consistently churned out, the 1990s still have a special place within the medium. This is especially true when it comes to the genre of situational comedies. Sitcoms were nothing new by the 90s, but because audiences had gotten so comfortable with the form, they started to transform in peculiar ways. Every decade has plenty of unusual television shows, but the 1990s feature a wealth of especially quirky sitcoms that feel like they could have only come out then.

It’s interesting to watch how audiences have slowly become too savvy for the traditional sitcom. The three-camera comedy is now largely a lost form and when it is turned to, it feels like an awkward endeavor. Even the very premise-heavy surroundings of sitcoms have larger vanished in favor of shows that carefully tow the line between comedy and drama. However, in honor of the sitcoms that filled the 90s, here’s a dig into the many actors that had a significant impact on their shows, for both better and worse. Here Are 20 Actors That Saved ‘90s Sitcoms (And 10 That Hurt Them).

Kind of strange the author thinks Sarah Jessica Parker HURT Sex And The City.

It’s the rest of the show’s main characters that rise above Parker and make names for themselves. It’s easy to feel like Parker is the outlier.

Wouldn't surprise me if he just wrote that garbage based on her looks. None of the other main characters rose above SJ Parker. Kristin Davis hardly came in anything after the series. Her TV and movie credits following the series are limited. Couples Retreat from 2009 is one of the last movies where I saw her, and that movie got poor reviews, though I found the movie funny.

Cynthia Nixon became an activist and tried running for governor. Kim Cattrall has a long standing feud with SJ Parker but has a lower profile in Hollywood.
