63 free 90s Sitcoms trivia questions with answers. The 1990s were the last decade when a sitcom could pull 50 million viewers on a Thursday night, and this quiz covers the whole lineup. NBC's Must See TV (Seinfeld, Friends, Frasier, Mad About You, 3rd Rock, NewsRadio, Will & Grace), ABC's TGIF (Full House, Family Matters, Boy Meets World, Step by Step, Sabrina), the Fox upstarts (Married... with Children, Martin, Living Single, That '70s Show), and CBS staples like Murphy Brown, The Nanny and Everybody Loves Raymond all get their turn. The questions range from catchphrases and theme songs anyone who grew up with a TV will remember, to production details and cast trivia for people who still argue about the Seinfeld finale. It works as a pub quiz round, a rewatch-party game, or a nostalgic solo run through the decade. Every answer is checked against the show's Wikipedia article and the supporting sentence is shown after each question. Fifty-five questions, free, no signup.
