Plenty of people look back on the 1990s fondly. It was a decade filled with bleached hair, boy bands and Beanie Babies, where instead of going everywhere looking at their cell phones, people were walking in their Reebok Pumps and fanny packs staring at their Tamagatchis. But when they weren't out rollerblading or playing with their pogs, '90s folks were in front of their TVs. Whether they were watching Must See TV or TGIF, Americans spent a lot of hours glued in front of their televisions thanks to some amazing shows. So which 90s series ranks as the favorite in your state? USDish.com got nostalgic and got the answers.
