90s series that we found hard to say goodbye to

Longing for the good old 90s? With these 8 series you can make your nostalgic longing even worse.
The Nanny
Full House
ALF
A lazy alien crash-lands his spaceship in the Tanner family's garage (Full House sends its regards) and hides from the authorities from then on. He quickly becomes the centre of family life. Admittedly, the furry puppet takes some getting used to and definitely deserves the trash factor 1000. Nevertheless, or perhaps precisely because of this, the series achieved cult status.
The King of Queens
Charmed - Charmed Witches
Three witch sisters against the rest of the (under)world. Oh how we loved watching Phoebe, Piper and Prue fighting evil, brewing potions and muttering spells. Despite many illogical storylines, the series is peppered with all sorts of interesting facts from mythology and also draws on historical facts here and there. By the way, fans can look forward to a reboot of the series, but without the original cast.
The Prince of Bel-Air
Grown up on the streets of Philadelphia, Will is sent by his mother to live with his wealthy aunt and her family in Bel-Air out of concern for him. It's worth watching the series for the legendary dance routines of his snobbish cousin Carlton and Will's keen sense of colourful, patterned fashion alone. In addition to good reasons to laugh, there's also free socially critical food for thought on top.
A terribly nice family
Al Bundy, an extremely unmotivated shoe salesman, is the head of the "terribly nice family". His eternal and rather unsuccessful pursuit of the dollar meanders through the storyline like a red thread and makes you involuntarily feel better in your own skin after watching the programme. In other words, a downward comparison of superlatives. A money-grabbing wife, a rarely stupid daughter (called dumbass), the son Bud and a dog complete the loser squad.
Listen to who's hammering
A programme within a programme: that's probably the best way to describe this sitcom. Tim, a passionate DIY enthusiast and father of three sons, is the presenter of the show "Tool Time". Together with his wife Jill, he faces up to the everyday family madness and skilfully ensures that every new DIY project ends in disaster.
At the (urgent) request of our product manager, here's one last sitcom insider tip: Dawson's Creek!

Natalie.Hemenguel@digitecgalaxus.chAs a massive Disney fan, I see the world through rose-tinted glasses. I worship series from the 90s and consider mermaids a religion. When I’m not dancing in glitter rain, I’m either hanging out at pyjama parties or sitting at my make-up table. P.S. I love you, bacon, garlic and onions.
