Devices Miniseries", "The Revenge of Cobra Miniseries" and "The Pyramid of Darkness Miniseries".
"The Sopranos"
You can currently watch the first season of "The Sopranos" on HBO Go. (Then just subscribe for the other seasons because it'll be worth it). The American crime drama originally ran for six seasons from 1999 to 2007.

"Friends"
An iconic TV series of the 1990s that has landed on various Best TV Series lists, even to this day. You can binge-watch all 10 seasons on Netflix and laugh out loud at the antics of Rachel, Joey, Ross, Chandler, Phoebe and Monica.

"Fresh Prince of Bel-Air"
Who wouldn't know "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air", starring a fresh-faced Will Smith as a fictionalised version of himself? Smith plays a poor young man who gets sent to live with his upper-class relatives in their Bel-Air mansion and their lifestyle clashes lead to many hilarious moments. All six seasons of the show can be found on Netflix.
"Bob Ross: Beauty is Everywhere"
Before there were ASMR videos on YouTube, the small screen had Bob Ross, the American painter whose calm voice soothed many a frazzled mind in the 1990s. Tune in to his show "Bob Ross: Beauty is Everywhere" on Netflix and watch him paint as he soothingly explained what he was doing. Look out for the special guests: his adorable pet squirrels.
