This episode is a 90s TV sitcom extravaganza! The friends begin their discussion on 90s sitcom tropes by sharing some of their favorite series from the decade, which includes The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Living Single, The Cosby Show, Home Improvement, Martin, and of course, Full House (2:45). The group then shares what they think are distinct differences between 90s sitcoms and current sitcoms (e.g., Modern Family, The Goldbergs, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, etc.) and Kevin performes a lethal takedown on The Big Bang Theory (14:00). Next, the group outlines differences that they see between 90s sitcoms and the disaster porn sitcoms that they watched from the 1980s (21:30). The discussion continues with the group sharing their favorite TV episode tropes from the 90s, including: the the "dream" episode, "death" episode, the "becoming music superstars" episode, the "trapped in a small space of emotions" episode, the "peer pressure" episode, the "bully episode", the "on location" episode, and others (25:40).
