- (FBE) So today we're going to see how well you know TV shows from the '90s.
- '90s TV shows, oh my god.
I barely watch TV now, (chuckling) so let's see how that goes.
- That's an automatic fail for me because I never watched TV as a kid.
- I don't really know staple '90s shows.
- I did watch a lot of Nick at Nites, so we'll see how I do.
- I wasn't alive in the '90s, so that might be a little difficult.
- (FBE) We'll be showing you the intros to see if you can name
which show they're from.
- Okay, I feel like that'll help me out a lot.
If I see the whole intro, I think I got it.
- I feel like I'm gonna do pretty well.
My family loves '90s TV shows. This should be fun.
- I feel like I suck at these Do You Know Its
because I'm always like, "I'm a '90s kid."
No, just kidding. No, I'm not.
I was born in the last year of the '90s.
That don't count.

It's one of those shows that it's a crime to skip the intro.

- Boy Meets World?
- Boy Meets World.
- Is this Boy Meets World?
- It is Boy Meets World.
- (FBE) This is the opening to season one of Boy Meets World.
- Yes!
- (FBE) Boy Meets World launched a sequel 14 years later on Disney channel
called Girl Meets World.
The show followed the adventures of the daughter
of the two leads from the original series,
who have now been married for many years with a teenager.
So here is a photo of the couple Cory and Topanga
from Boy Meets World, and here is them in the relaunch.
- (gasping) Oh, they're both adorable.
Oh my god! And they're still gorgeous.
What the heck?
- Children from 20 years ago got to grow up watching
these two as kids growing up, and now they get to see
their entire lives starting a family
and kind of still matching what they're doing.
- Funny story, I saw these two at a restaurant
and it was so hard not to say, "Childhood, how are you doing?"

It literally said "X."

I mean, I felt that just driving over here today.

- Yes, Seinfeld.
- That's Seinfeld.
- Seinfeld.
- I know. It's Seinfeld.
- (FBE) This the opening to Seinfeld. - Seinfeld.
See, I should've put the two together: Jerry Seinfeld, Seinfeld.
- (FBE) Seinfeld didn't have a traditional sitcom opening
and instead had Jerry's monologue,
so this meant the composer Jonathan Wolff had to re-score every episode
to match the monologue.
- Oh my god! So the monologue was different every single episode?
That was a lot of work for that person to do.
- That seems so hard.
It takes so much work, but it's interesting and it's original.
- That is really cool that it's personalized for every episode.
I like that a lot, actually.

- I just learned that was Sex AND the City,
not Sex IN the City.
- (FBE) Sex and the City was about four women
navigating the dating scene of New York City.
A big spotlight was put on what the ladies were wearing
as the show became a trendsetter for new fashion.
So here are the ladies in their first and then last season.
- Interesting.
They got more complex as the years passed.
- It goes from very neutral to very intense.
- I feel like I would wear a lot of this now.
Like, I would definitely wear this black dress.
Oh my gosh.
- Love that scarf! Not the point.
The point is... is that it's very different from where it started.

everybody just had to tune in to see the end.
