Living through the sitcom saturated 90s was a trip. There wasn't a major American city, vocation, or stand-up comic that didn't have a sitcom premise to their name back in those days.

Even though shows like USA High weren't the apex of creative thought, they were leagues above sitcoms that existed solely as promotional vehicles.
