Probably 'Family Matters' but I also loved 'Full House' and 'The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.' By the way, while I never saw it during its '90s run, but this past summer, I binged on the sitcom, 'Wings.' It was often predictable but I loved the cast and characters.

Btw, Frasier got screwed by NBC. They bowed down to Friends and said it was their best show ever. From what I’ve heard, Kelsey Grammer was insulted by this since he’d been loyal to the character and the network for almost three decades. He and the cast were insulted and angry over NBC’s attitude because to say Friends was the better show even though Grammer offered to take a pay cut while the Friends cast kept demanding more money per episode and almost got their show canceled due to their demands.

Nowadays, if you look at networks like The CW, they’re more than happy to have people gravitate towards their website and apps. Maybe if NBC had embraced that feeling, they’d have been ahead of the curve. Now they’re trying to play catch up.

I'd say it was for the best with Fraiser and Fresh Prince... nothing worse then a show that has hit it's Shark Jumping Moment (like X-Files or Castle)

"Seinfeld" ended, even though it rated well, because Jerry Seinfeld was both the executive producer, would write and review scripts for the show, and appear in "Seinfeld" and the workload was becoming too much. Jerry walked away from "Seinfeld" because he was burnt out and wanted more time on the road doing stand-up.

@@thisguyhere6641 I have a theory, now bear with me. I call it "The Power Of Eleven". Most shows finish at or before the end of an eleventh season. Ones which get to an eleventh season, and then end (often on their own terms) are remembered as classics. But if a show does a TWELFTH season, it starts to get stale, and any season after the eleventh sees a dip in quality, and it looks like it is being made simply for money, rather than any new stories to tell. Many people say that "The Simpsons", for example, was best in its first eleven seasons, but subsequent seasons have seen the quality and humor fall off, and now it is more embarrassing than funny. So, eleven seems to be the magical number for TV shows when it comes to how many are enough seasons for a show to still remain a classic.

Yup. It stands out because it just *does*... 'Frasier' was in some ways the best-written sit-com of the nineties, although '3rd Rock' runs it close, and pretty much blows everything else out of the water in terms of the concept. (Character development too). Kind of parallels 'Red Dwarf' in Britain. Totally different, apart from the space connection, but both went 'yeah, we don't care if the premise is ridiculous - what on earth is non-ridiculous comedy anyway?'

Frasier was a psychiatrist, not a psychologist and it was 11 seasons, the same as Cheers (not one season longer as the video claims).

Strange and dumb reasons for show cancellations didn't just happen in the 90's. In the 60's,the head of CBS at the time saw that "Gunsmoke" had been axed because of poor ratings. Since it was his and his wife's favourite show, he demanded that they make more seasons, so that he could watch it. When told that there was no room in the schedule to put new eps of "Gunsmoke", the CBS boss axed the higher-rating "Gilligan's Island", because he didn't "get" the show's humor, and didn't like it, even though viewers did. So "Gilligan's Island" got axed because the CBS boss put his personal viewing preferences ahead of ratings.
