90s TV Show

Let us take a trip down memory lane… Ahh, the 90s. Some say our generation is obsessed with nostalgia. Anything reminding us remotely of the time when bowl-cut hairstyles were all the rage, is somehow amazing.

However, we can all agree on one thing – the 90s were great and although it housed many embarrassing trends, it was also a treasure trove of ingenious TV shows and film. The entertainment industry was booming and abuzz with crazy new ideas.

Singapore had to hop on the bandwagon to churn out even better (and whackier) content. Here are our favourite Top 10 Singaporean 90s TV Shows You Might Remember.

#1 ASIA BAGUS

This was one of the first ever actual talent shows on TVs and it showcased many up and coming young talents, hosted by the charming Najip Ali.

#2 COMEDY NITE

Monday night equates comedy night in the 90s. Remember Liang Popo? Popular comedians Jack Neo, Moses Lim, Henry Thia and Mark Lee never fail to put up hilarious skits that had us rolling around laughing.

#3 GOTCHA!

This was basically a local version of popular gag show, Just For Laughs. It had some pretty funny jokes and gags with some priceless reactions of unknowing Singaporeans.

#4 GROWING UP

A classic this one is! This was a lighthearted show of a family’s life in the 60s to 80s in Singapore and it became an instant hit with the local audience.

Magaret Chan’s iconic “Crush you like a cockroach” catchphrase lovingly came from this popular 90s show – Masters of The Sea.

#6 PHUA CHU KANG PTE LTD

This is everyone’s favourite, yes? Gurmit Singh is a natural comedian and his role as a father and contractor has become iconic and symbolic with all Singaporeans. The skits are hilarious and the jokes were certainly memorable. And oh, how can we forget that huge mole?

#7 THE PYRAMID GAME

This was probably the most popular game show in the 90s. Students go head to head in a nail-biting game of wits.

#8 THE UNBEATABLES

The kings and queens of Mediacorp showed their true powers as great actors in one of the most loved dramas of all time. This was said to be the most popular drama during the period that it aired, garnering the highest number of audiences. Just look at the ravishing Zoe Tay, and how suave Tay Ping Hui was (and still is)!

Under One Roof

#9 UNDER ONE ROOF

This adorable and funny family was just so entertaining to watch in the 90s. Tuesday nights were always reserved for Under One Roof. Ever since, Moses Lim has been synonymous with the sitcom.

VR Man

#10 VR MAN

Do we even want to remember this show? That aside, we cannot lie that James Lye as VR Man will be embedded in our minds forever.
