Uncle Jesse, Arnold, Topanga Lawrence, Rory Gilmore and other characters all seem to be taking to the small screen in recent months. Our society seems to be in the mist of a 90s revival. With trends like chokers, jeans skirts, and flannel all making a reappearance, as well as a more alternative sound--such as that from band Twenty One Pilots, taking over our iTunes, it only makes sense that iconic 90s characters would be popping up on our TV screens.

Although there is not yet word of a 'Friends' revival, which had been rumored practically since the show ended, it seems like almost every other 90s or early 2000s series has made it's way back into our lives. With new twists and spins on the classics we love, audiences seem to be captivated by the resurrection of the American 90s sitcom.

Here is a list of the shows that you can throw it back with:

1. Fuller House

The Netflix series follows the recently widowed DJ Tanner as she navigates through life with her three children, sister Stephenie, and BFF Kimmy Gibbler.

2. Girl Meets World

This Disney Channel series is a spin off of the 90s classic "Boy Meets World." This shows follows Cory and Topanga's daughter Riley and her two best friends as they learn lessons about life, love, and friendship.

3. Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

Although not much has been said about the spin-off series, there was word that it was in the works in 2015. However, Will Smith has not signed onto the show. What's Bel-Air without the Prince? Amirite?

4. Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life

The highly anticipated mini Netflix series will premiere on Nov 25th of this year. Viewers will get a glimpse into one year of the Gilmore's life.

5. Hey Arnold

A two hour TV movie will premiere on Nickelodeon in 2017 and is supposed to answer questions and tie up loose ends from the series. As Arnold is my OG crush boy, I will be glued to my TV for this one.

6. Legends of the Hidden Temple

The game show will be turned into a scripted movie and follow three siblings as they conquer tasks that are similar to those from the original game. Its said the movie will premiere on Nick on Nov. 26th.

7. The Magic School Bus 360

Ms. Frizzle and her class are said to hit Netflix in late 2016. This time they'll be exploring in a modernized, high-tech school bus. As an education major, this one makes me particularly excited!

8. Bill Nye Saves the World

Bill Nye is back to make science cool again with a Netflix original series to premiere in 2017. Science nerds rejoice!

9. The PowerPuff Girls


Everyone's favorite crime fighting mutant sisters are back! Season one aired on Cartoon Network earlier this year and the series has been renewed for a second season.

10. That's So Raven

Raven Symone recently announced that she has been working with Disney on a reboot of the early 2000s favorite. She will be playing a single mother who discovers one of her children has inherited her physic abilities.

There must be a reason that Americans are so obsessed with 90s and early 2000s TV.

Bob Boyett and Jeff Franklin, “Full House” producers, did an interview with TVGuide.com where they said that they believe the revival happened now for a reason.

“We thought it was very timely," Boyett said. "The right idea finally came along, thanks to Jeff, to do a show that was going to be of interest, that was going to be contemporary that we could move along with.” Franklin also added that he believes that people seem to relax more with 90s characters. In a way, it reminds them of the good old days of sitcoms and "watching your favorites on Friday night."

In a time of uncertainty, with a world full of chaos and a society that seems set on hatred, Americans are comforted by the nostalgia the iconic reboots bring. Early 2000s and 90s revivals and reboots are making everyone TGIF again.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
