How many of these have you seen?

What’s the greatest TV show of all-time?

Some people have suggested The Wire, Breaking Bad, The West Wing, Game of Thrones, The Simpsons, Father Ted and many more but it seems that some of our favourite ’90s TV shows are making a return.

Mulder and Scully will once again be telling us that the truth is out there while Zig and Zag are also set to make a return to Irish TV sets.

With this in mind, we decided to take a look at some of the TV shows we loved in the 1990s and attempt to describe their appeal in just a few words.

1) Top 30 Hits – The music bible

2) Sports Stadium – The channel doesn’t change
