A place to recommend, review, discuss, and geek out over 90s TV shows, mini-series, "made for TV" movies, cartoons, and commercials.

Rules

They aren't strict. Just try to keep posts on topic of 90s TV, and of course decade appropriate.

How could it be a knockoff when it started airing a year earlier? Beakman's World began airing in '92, Bill Nye the Science Guy didn't start until '93.

Bill Nye (this supposed "science guy") was only ever a knockoff of Beakman, who himself was just a bored meth cook.

I considered bringing that up, but the television date was already earlier than Nye. I didn't want to overcomplicate the rhetoric.

Completely tongue-in-cheek. I just didn't like his show as much as I liked Bill Nye.
