What action/sci-fi live-action shows from the 90's still hold up?
 
Besides the obvious ones like Star Trek: Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, X-Files, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer?

The 90's came before we really had serialized television, and it was also mostly still dominated by comedies and sit-coms, so I can't think of too many action oriented or sci-fi shows that still hold up from that era.

The Stargate shows, possibly better than the Star Trek shows. Highlander, for the most part (if you ignore the very 90s outfits).

Dudes... you pretty much covered them all, with the exception of maybe Xena and Charmed. Like what other shows are there?

It's funny because a lot of the big shows started in the early 2000's or very late 90's like The Sopranos, Angel (Buffy), The Wire, The Shield, Firefly, Breaking Bad, etc.

As I mentioned, the 90's were still dominated by comedies or sit-coms with families. Seinfeld, Friends, Married with Children, Fresh Prince, Full House, etc.

The Secret World of Alex Mack! :tlol:

Man, did I have a crush on her. Whoooo.

She still looks great. You'd never know she's about to be 40 soon. Them Ukrainian broads, man.

Unfortunately, another infatuated fan took his affection a dangerously fanatical level:

Terrible. People need to stay in their lane.

I had a "weird", kinda stalker-y fan once. Pretty creepy. And I'm f*cking nobody. I can only imagine how bad it would be if I were Anybody. I don't envy those people at all. :ohwell:

One of my favorite action/sci-fi shows. Too bad Ross never found out how to clone dinosaurs. :D I kid.

Power Rangers is all I can think of and it's still the same.

frank_one 12-14-2020 02:38 AM

What about Walker, Texas Ranger?

Leo656 12-14-2020 03:39 AM

Sometimes I feel like the only guy in the world who lived through the 90s and never liked Power Rangers.

I liked Amy Jo Johnson, so it's not like I never saw the show. :lol: I just never cared for it. Just her. :trazz:

I gotta say, I'm only barely familiar with most of these shows. For most of the 90s I watched very little besides wrestling. So most of these shows zipped right by me.

How about none? They were all cheesy & bad.

That show was always terrible.

MsMarvelDuckie 12-15-2020 08:46 AM

Martial Law was MUCH better than Walker, even though it had a crossover with it! (And I'm pretty sure Sammo would've kicked his @$$, much like Bruce Lee did....)

DarkFell 12-15-2020 10:29 AM

Star Trek: The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine still hold some appeal for me.

Farscape didn't look bad either, but I've yet to watch an episode. I'll probably watch one on YouTube.

As for MMPR, I was there for the monsters. :P

I also liked that show, remember waiting for a new series but one never came.

I liked a number of shows mentioned in the thread, some were later 90s and went into early 2000s. So far as holding up today, I guess I would have to go back and revisit some of them to be sure as sometimes things don't look as good as we remember them years later.

Relic hunter (1999-2002). It was ok back then but I haven't seen it since. Tia Carrere was hot.
