Do you remember these 10 forgotten TV sitcoms from the 1990s?

Long before achieving global stardom as Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds starred in this ABC hangout sitcom, which followed three 20-somethings navigating life and love after college.

Ryan played slacking graduate Berg, starring alongside Richard Ruccolo as the neurotic architecture major Pete and Traylor Howard as high-flying saleswoman Sharon. 

The second season introduced new regulars: Johnny Donnelly (Nathan Fillion), a jukebox repairman who begins dating Sharon, and Berg's medical school classmate, Ashley Walker (Suzanne Cryer). 

Spanning four seasons from 1998 to 2001, the series drew millions of viewers and featured notable guest stars such as Jon Cryer, Fred Willard, Anthony Head, and Blink-182.

A young Joseph Gordon-Levitt starred alongside John Lithgow and Kristen Johnston in this sci-fi sitcom about a group of aliens disguised as a human family in Rutherford, Ohio, to observe life on Earth. 

John Lithgow played the group's High Commander, taking the form of family patriarch Dick Solomon, a physics professor at Pendelton State University. Information officer Tommy (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) found himself in the body of a teenager and was forced to enroll in high school, while security officer Sally (Kristen Johnston) and Harry (French Stewart) were disguised as 20-somethings working short-term jobs. 

An impressive list of guest stars appeared over the show’s run, including Fawlty Towers legend John Cleese and Oscar winner Kathy Bates. 

The series received widespread critical acclaim. In 1997, it won five of its eight Primetime Emmy nominations, and John Lithgow received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for every year the show was on-air, winning in 1996, 1997, and 1999.

Created by J.D. Lobue and Greg Antonacci, this Fox sitcom follows aspiring writer Herman Brooks (William Ragsdale), who works in the fact-checking department of a major Manhattan magazine. 

While Herman appears to be an ambitious and sensible young man on the surface, his internal thoughts were driven by contrasting personality traits that were constantly bickering. 

These included Angel (Molly Hagan), the only female character and a representation of his sensitivity; Animal (Ken Hudson Campbell), who embodied lust and hunger; Wimp (Rick Lawless), who represented anxiety; and Genius (Peter Mackenzie), representing his intellect and logic. 

The cast also featured Hank Azaria as Herman's best friend, Jay, and Jane Sibbett as his fact-checking colleague, Heddy. 

Despite its short three-season run, the show left a lasting cultural impact, earning references in The Simpsons and the comedy-drama Only Murders in the Building.

A successful spin-off of The Golden Girls, this series ran for seven seasons from 1988 to 1995. It starred Richard Mulligan as Dr. Harry Weston, a recently widowed pediatrician whose two adult daughters return home to live with him. 

Dinah Manoff portrayed the eldest daughter, the highly-strung Carol, while Kristy McNichol played her sister, Barbara, a tough police officer. Lisa Rieffel later joined the cast as the third Weston daughter, Emily. 

The show earned several Emmy and Golden Globe nominations throughout its run, with Richard Mulligan winning both an Emmy and a Golden Globe for Best Lead Actor in a Comedy Series in 1989. 

Empty Nest even spawned its own spin-off, Nurses, which followed a group of nurses working at the same hospital as Dr. Weston.

Candice Bergen starred as the iconic title character in this CBS sitcom, which ran for a decade from 1988 to 1998. 

The series followed investigative journalist and FYI news anchor Murphy Brown as she returned to work after seeking treatment for alcoholism. 

Considered a trailblazer for depicting single mothers on screen, the sitcom also sparked controversy during the 1992 American presidential campaign when Vice President Dan Quayle criticised the character for "mocking the importance of fathers, by bearing a child alone, and calling it just another 'lifestyle choice'." 

While it was announced in 2018 that the show would return for a one-time 13-episode run, plans for the revival were ultimately cancelled.

Amid the success of "singles in the city" shows like Friends and Seinfeld came The Single Guy.

Jonathan Silverman starred as struggling New York City writer Jonathan Eliot in the NBC sitcom, which ran from 1995 to 1997. 

The series followed Jonathan – the last unmarried member of his friend group – as he navigated the daunting New York dating scene. 

The cast included Jessica Hecht, Joey Slotnick, Ming-Na Wen, Ernest Borgnine and Mark Moses, and the sitcom welcomed an impressive roster of guest stars during its run, including Larry Miller, David Schwimmer, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jack Black, and Willie Garson.

A few years before her Emmy-winning turn as courageous NYPD Captain Olivia Benson on NBC's Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Mariska Hargitay starred as confident divorcee Didi Edelstein in the New York City-set sitcom Can't Hurry Love.

Another 'singles in the city' show, the series followed 28-year-old Annie O'Donnell (Nancy McKeon) as she tackled the NYC dating scene alongside her roommate Didi.

Louis Mandylor and Kevin Crowley also starred as co-workers Roger and Elliot.

The series was cancelled after just one season despite having an average household rating of 11.4

An attempt to replicate the success of the British sitcom Absolutely Fabulous in the U.S., this short-lived CBS series starred Jean Smart and Mary McDonnell as Ellie and Dott, two outrageous, champagne-swilling women navigating glamorous lives on New York City's Fifth Avenue.

While Ellie is the man-chasing author of trashy romance novels, Dott is a successful publishing executive. 

The series ran for just 13 episodes from October 1995 to February 1996. 

Long before Neil Patrick Harris played one of sitcoms most iconic characters – the womanising Barney Stinson in How I Met Your Mother – he played a neurotic book editor in NBC's Stark Raving Mad.

The series, which ran for just one season from September 1999, followed obsessive-compulsive book editor Henry McNeeley (Patrick Harris) tasked with coaxing a new manuscript out of eccentric horror writer Ian Stark (Tony Shalhoub), who is suffering from writer's block following his bestselling debut. 

Despite drawing in an average of 15 million viewers, and winning a People's Choice Award for Favorite New Television Comedy Series in 2000, the show was axed after just one season. 

Before becoming a regular fixture of American comedy, Chris Elliott made his sitcom debut in Get A Life. The surreal Fox comedy, created and written by Elliott, followed 30-year-old paperboy Chris Peterson, who lives in an apartment above his parents' garage. 

Chris, who went on to land roles in Everybody Loves Raymond, How I Met Your Mother and Schitt's Creek, was joined by his real-life father Bob Elliott on the show, who played his on-screen dad. 

The series, which ran for two seasons between 1990 and 1992, is often referred to as an "anti-sitcom," famous for its bizarre and dark humour.
