THAT 90’S SHOW
The shy and nerdy Leia meets her rebellious next-door neighbor, Gwen, who introduces Leia to her rambunctious group of friends. Craving an adventure, Leia convinces her parents to allow her to spend the summer in Point Place with Red and Kitty. That ’90s Show is made for fans of That ’70s Show. However, it’s charming enough to generate new fans looking for a sweet, funny sitcom. (Netflix)
DIFFICULT PEOPLE
The very definition of a cult show, Difficult People ran for three seasons as one of Hulu’s original shows from 2015 to 2017. Created by comedian Julie Klausner and co-starring Billy Eichner, the show is a dark comedy about two struggling comedians who only know one person they can stand: each other. Sharply written and beguilingly performed by its two leads, Difficult People earned most of its critical appreciation just as its run on Hulu was ending. Now is the perfect time to go back and see what you may have missed. (Hulu)
BOY MEETS WORLD
Whether you watched it or not, you couldn’t be a ‘90s kid and not know about Boy Meets World. The series, launched in 1993 and running for seven seasons, followed the exploits of Cory Matthews (Ben Savage) as he navigates life, friendship, love, family, and the transition from middle school to high school, college and beyond.
