In the 1990s the big three networks were being challenged by
upstarts FOX and the WB for viewer loyalty. Alongside must-see
stalwarts like Frasier, Friends, and Seinfeld, the new networks
introduced pop culture touchstones like Buffy the Vampire Slayer
and The X-Files. Such shows not only made household names of their
stars, but also thrived in syndication and some even graduated to
the big screen. In that decade, shows such as ER, Everybody Loves
Raymond, and Northern Exposure were vying for awards while programs
like Beverly Hills, 90210 and Home Improvement drew in millions of
viewers each week. Even after these shows departed the airwaves,
they live on in syndication and on DVDs, entertaining many
generations of viewers. In Television Series of the 1990s:
Essential Facts and Quirky Details, Vincent Terrace presents
readers with a cornucopia of information about sixty programs from
the decade. For example, did you know that Ally McBeal's favorite
brand of ice cream is Ben and Jerry's? Or that Hank Hill's shoe
size is 12? Or that Carrie Bradshaw's favorite cookie is
Double-Stuff Oreos? These are just a handful of hundreds of fun and
intriguing specifics found inside this volume. Programs from all of
the major networks-as well as select syndicated programs and
HBO-are represented here. This is not a book of opinions or essays
about specific television programs but a treasure trove of facts
associated with each show. From Niles Crane's I.Q score to George
Constanza's high score on Frogger, readers will discover a wealth
of fascinating information that, for the most part, cannot be found
elsewhere. In some cases, the factual data detailed herein is the
only such documentation that currently exists on bygone shows of
the era. Television Series of the 1990s is the ideal reference for
fans of this decade and anyone looking to stump even the most
knowledgeable trivia expert.
