Dwayne Wayne was my style icon. And Lisa Bonet was my crush. The AIDS episode was pretty haunting and amazing. Partly inspired by Magic Johnson's real life. Apparently Debbie Allen fought very hard to make that episode happen, so shout out to her. On...
A Different World (1987-1993)

Welcome to Good Burger, home of the good burger, can I take your order? SNL for kids was awesome. And integrating TLC into the show was the cherry on top. So very 90s.
