With the 1990s serving as an influential decade that changed the landscape of television, many classic shows premiered one after another and left a lasting impact on viewers; where several of these hit shows highlighted memorable characters, crafted strong storytelling and delved into themes that hadn’t been expanded upon until the 1990s. Moreover, the type of show known as the sitcom had already been a staple of American television but continued onward into the 1990s with dozens of popular sitcoms becoming a part of pop culture.
Given the sheer volume of television shows made, the sitcom has continually resonated with viewers, as well as entertained fans throughout the years. However, despite many hit sitcoms that sustained a proper legacy, other successful shows of the era were, in more ways than one, forgotten about in the public consciousness. At the same time, the sitcoms that were left behind in the 1990s still feature wonderful comedy,...

As a young teenager, I tuned into Step By Step every single week. And when the series — a 1990s version of The Brady Bunch — became syndicated, I watched the show every single day after I returned from school. But despite having dedicated countless hours of my life to the Lambert-Fosters, I must admit: With the exception of a fuzzy memory involving Carol’s beauty salon being burned down, I cannot recall one single episode of Step By Step.
Now, that’s not to say I don’t remember the Lambert-Fosters. Rather, I spent far too much time thinking about the fictional family.

Sin City and Batman Begins in 2005 saw the mighty Rutger Hauer return to roles in high profile genre films. He has been working solidly of course, but these day's one might forget just what a genre film powerhouse the Dutchman was, during a period spanning about 15 years, from the early 80's to the mid nineties. Of course Hauer’s quintessential role is that of Roy Batty, the replicant on the run who races against time to find his creator. While avoiding the Blade Runner Rick Deckard played by Harrison Ford. Probably his second most recognizable role is the powerhouse performance as the uber menacing Hitch Hiker John Ryder in the 1986 movie The Hitcher. "John Ryder" as played by Hauer is probably my favorite on screen psycho, as Hauer relies almost entirely on performance to menace both the viewer and his onscreen victim Jim Halsey (C. Thomas Howell) in a movie...
