Sitcoms

The 1990s was undoubtedly something of a golden age for the sitcom. Series like&nbsp;Friends, Frasier,&nbsp;and numerous others started in the decade, becoming almost synonymous with the form, and stories abound about&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/stories-about-90s-sitcom-stars/tracey-graham">the people who starred in them</a>. While many of the longest-running series of this decade managed to become definitive parts of the sitcom canon, others, for one reason or another,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/forgotten-90s-sitcoms-more-popular-than-today/lily-mcelveen">have largely been forgotten</a> or remain underrated, having fallen into obscurity during their heyday. There are many sitcoms to choose from for those looking for a heady dose of nostalgia, or for those seeking a more robust understanding of the strange time which was the 1990s.&nbsp;

It’s no secret that many of Hollywood’s greatest stories <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-movies-based-on-books">originate from novels</a>, but you might be surprised to learn which authors are responsible for your favorite adaptations. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-movies-based-on-stephen-king-books/ranker-film">Stephen King</a>, JK Rowling, and Jane Austen are household names, but Philip K. Dick, Walter Tevis, and Patricia Highsmith have inspired movies and TV shows with reputations on par with&nbsp;The Shining,&nbsp;Harry Potter, and&nbsp;Pride and Prejudice.&nbsp;Authors who have a surprisingly excellent track record on-screen may be overlooked for a number of reasons. In some cases, their stories were picked up by A-list filmmakers whose fame eclipsed theirs. Daphne du Maurier, for example, produced stories that became the basis of three Alfred Hitchcock movies that are now almost exclusively associated with him. Another reason is variety. Authors like Richard Matheson and Walter Tevis wrote novels that spanned such a wide range of genres that it’s hard to believe the movies and television shows they inspired came from the same person. Few would assume that the 1980 period romance&nbsp;Somewhere in Time&nbsp;was dreamed up by the man who wrote the story behind Will Smith’s post-apocalyptic thriller&nbsp;I Am Legend. Whatever the reason for their undeserved anonymity, these authors created stories that <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/tv-and-movies-you-didn-t-know-were-based-on-books/brent-sprecher">found a wide fandom</a> when they were brought to the screen.

Remakes & Reboots

If a movie or TV show has even the slightest bit of success, chances are it will get a reboot or a revival at some point. This is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, these properties have a built-in fan base. On the other, trying to do justice to a beloved property is a daunting and&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/forgotten-remakes-of-classic-movies/jacob-shelton?ref=browse_list&amp;l=1">often futile task</a>. Nothing can eclipse the nostalgia that fans have for the original, no matter how worthy a follow-up proves to be.&nbsp;Some properties lend themselves to remakes and revivals.&nbsp;Dr. Who, for example, is premised on the fact that the title character can take any identity at any point in history at his choosing. This allows&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/greatest-tv-actor-replacement-switcheroos/ranker-tv">new actors to play the role</a> for isolated periods of time without the change feeling artificial. Other series are harder to rework. In some cases, this is because the story hinges on a particular actor who can’t revise their role. It’s hard to imagine&nbsp;Indiana Jones as anyone other than Harrison Ford. In other cases, a movie or series is so revered that rehashing it feels wrong. A remake of&nbsp;The Princess Bride might get some fans excited, but it would almost certainly be disappointing.&nbsp;Despite the many examples of reboots and revivals that&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/worst-tv-reboots/ranker-tv">really shouldn’t have happened</a>, there are a few that seemed like a terrible idea but actually turned out great. Vote up the ones that were so much better than anticipated.

Reboots And Revivals That Seemed Like A Bad Idea - But Turned Out Great

The cancelled shows of 2022 include many favorites, from shows that have lasted forever to shows that have only been around for a couple of seasons. While some popular shows, like Netflix originals Dead to Me and Family Reunion, just didn't make it past their third season mark, many shows ending in 2022 are long-running series, like The Walking Dead and Black-ish. Which TV shows canceled in 2022 are you sad to see end? Are there any <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-new-single-season-shows-last-few-years/ranker-tv">single-season shows in 2022 that were canceled</a> you wish had another chance?Some of the 2022 <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/tv-shows-canceled-before-their-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">canceled TV shows</a> like Manifest were able to grab one more season before they go, thanks to getting picked up by a new network that allowed them to finish out their stories properly. Other shows are ending after an admirable run, like The Ellen DeGeneres Show’s 19 seasons, or the 25 seasons (<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/top-10-cartoons-of-the-90s">and 26 years!</a>) of Arthur – long enough for a lot of people to have never been alive without new episodes of those shows on the air. Other series feel like they’ve reached a natural end – as a prequel to Breaking Bad, we all knew Better Call Saul would end someday, and 2022 feels like a good year to say goodbye to some of the series we love, if only to make room for all the new shows 2022 is bringing.Even if it’s their time, it’s hard to say farewell to TV shows ending in 2022, but you can vote up the 2022 cancelled shows you’ll miss the most.

Some people think that shonen anime is for kids. This isn&#39;t true. While some of it is geared towards middle schoolers, some of it is actually targeted at older teens. That huge demographic range means that while some shonen is family-friendly, some of it deals with some truly dark content.&nbsp;

One of the darkest shonen anime is The Promised Neverland,&nbsp;which follows a group of orphans as they try to escape from a grisly fate - being sold as food to human-eating demons. There&#39;s also&nbsp;D.Gray-man,&nbsp;which features the souls of the deceased being used as high-tech weapons. If you love disturbing shonen, this list has something on it for you.&nbsp;
