30y on I think the most iconic 90s show is X-files Not Seinfeld, Simpsons, or anything else. The show captured the pre-internet information environment with uncanny precision.

You can imagine the other shows being transposed in relatively straightforward ways to 2025. X-files would take very deep surgery to transpose.

The 90s were arguably the last opportunity for the kind of mild suspension of disbelief that magical realism requires. Before the ubiquitous mobile cameras, high-res satellite imagery, etc https://warpcast.com/aviationdoctor.eth/0x04554459

Can confirm it was one of my favorite things to catch over the air back then..tuned into Fox 47 (i was just a boy) The flesh eating insects episode had me terrified for a long time. So many fun things to scare me. 🥲
