The 1990s was an iconic decade in American and world history. With pop culture moments like Pamela Anderson’s sex tape, athletic scares like Magic Johnson's HIV announcement and tragedies like JonBenet Ramsey’s murder, the decade did not fail to keep people on their toes.

The docuseries format gives viewers a chance to hear what their favorite comedians and FOX hosts have to say about some of their favorite '90s moments. Each of the 10 episodes also includes pop quizzes, creating an interactive viewing experience.

WHEN BEANIE BABIES RULED, SEX TAPES SHOCKED, AND TABLOIDS WERE GOLD: WHO CAN FORGET THE '90S?

Here are 10 of the most culturally significant moments from the 1990s:

1990

"Eat my shorts!" 

Little did Bart Simpson know, this comment would spark conversation and debate throughout the country! This infamous phrase was even criticized by celebrities like Bill Cosby, who, ironically enough, believed this animated character was a bad role model for children.

The Simpsons rose to popularity in 1990, with the help of Bart’s catchphrase, and became Fox’s first show to be ranked in the U.S.' Top 30.

With unique characters like Sideshow Bob, Krusty the Clown, Ned Flanders and Bart Simpson, this series quickly became an American television classic.

1991

Along with the rise of animated series, came "The Jerry Springer Show," "the most entertaining talk show ever," according to Fox News’ Julie Banderas.

"The Jerry Springer Show," first aired in September 1991, was an absolute hit with dramatic guests, outrageous stories and an abundance of unfiltered confrontation. To this day, it remains "an American phenomenon," in comedian Aaron Berg’s opinion.

1992

Sadly, not every shocking moment in the '90s was positive. 

Episode three highlights the Rodney King case in which four Los Angeles police officers were caught on camera assaulting 25-year-old King. This brutality horrified the nation and resulted in each LAPD officer being charged with excessive force.

But, after the trial yielded four acquittals, riots plagued L.A., causing over three thousand fires, injuring more than two thousand people and killing 63. 

"Can we all get along?" asked King, in response to the destruction and immense division.

1993

There's no question the Clinton Family seemed to shape a lot of the '90s. Although the infamous Monica Lewinsky scandal wasn’t until 1998, '93 still remained a "cluster f**k and s**t show for the Clintons," according to political columnist and Fox News contributor Joe Concha.

This year was plagued with ethical scandals. Bill Clinton's deputy White House counsel, Vince Foster, was found dead after committing suicide. This occurred during ‘Travelgate’ which involved the politically motivated firing of travel office employees.

These events only added to the prior ‘Whitewater’ scandal outrage that took place during Clinton’s time as Arkansas governor.

Yet, despite the chaos, "the Clintons danced through it all," said author and columnist Ellis Henican.

1994

On a quiet Thursday in 1994, Nirvana rockstar Kurt Cobain was found dead after allegedly committing suicide. Although he rose to stardom in the '90s, his music remains widely played in 2025.

Many Americans can recall the exact moment they received word of Cobain’s death, with Fox News’ Kennedy sharing her experience at the MTV office, witnessing employees "openly sobbing."

"He had only scratched the surface," said Fox Nation’s Tyrus of the gone-too-soon 27-year-old.

1995

The insanely popular and relied-upon website, Amazon.com, officially went live in 1995. Created by Jeff Bezos with the original title, 'Abra Cadabra,' this book-selling site has evolved into the billion-dollar monster we all know — and spend too much time on — today.

"They have their fingers in every single aspect of your life," said Fox News’ Jessica Tarlov.

1996

In 1996 came the launch of a brand-new, 24-hour cable news channel: Fox News. 

Media mogul Rupert Murdoch created Fox News, a groundbreaking addition to the list of channels of the time, providing a platform for some of the country's more conservative voices. Its coverage of the Clinton scandals, the 2000 election and 9/11 boosted its credibility and following, surging the network to become America’s top-viewed channel — which it remains today.

1997

The year was not a swing and a miss — it brought golf legend Tiger Woods to the green. 

Woods’ performance during the final round of the Masters Tournament in 1997 brought 43 million viewers to its broadcast, setting the most-watched record.  

"He was swag, he was cool," said Tyrus.

This young golfer earned his spot in the sport's history, gained a cult following and forever changed the game.

1998

The toy craze in America certainly did not end with Beanie Babies in 1993. With the dawn of 1998 came the rise of the Furby. 

The sale of almost two million Furbies accompanied that Christmas holiday season, growing to 14 million the following year. 

These small, fluffy toys with their hallmark big eyes, pointy ears and their own language were even banned by the National Security Agency due to fear of spreading national secrets.

1999

The infamous school shooting that took place at Columbine High School marked a devastating close to the 1990s. The tragic event was the first time American news viewers gained live coverage of such a horrific story. 

The events took place for almost an hour, resulting in 13 students dead and 24 injured.

"It was one of the most dark, disturbing news items I had ever heard at the time," said Concha.

FIRST ON FOX: Republicans aren't wasting an opportunity to make democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani a cudgel to bash Democrats across the country.

In the three weeks since his stunning victory in the New York City Democratic Party mayoral primary, Republicans have been relentless in trying to anchor Mamdani to Democrats who are running in competitive races in next year's midterms.

Among those leading the way in the messaging effort are the team at the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), which is the House GOP's campaign arm.

The NRCC on Friday launched ads aiming to tie three House Democrats in New York and one in neighboring New Jersey to Mamdani, the 33-year-old Ugandan-born state assemblyman from the New York City borough of Queens.

The digital ads target Democratic Reps. Tom Suozzi, Laura Gillen, and Josh Riley of New York and Nellie Pou of New Jersey. All four lawmakers represent competitive House districts.

The ads, which are backed by a modest buy, were shared first with Fox News Digital. 

Mamdani, who convincingly topped former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and nine other candidates last month to capture the New York City Democratic mayoral nomination and take a big step toward becoming the city's first Muslim and millennial mayor, is giving Republicans plenty of fodder.

He's proposed eliminating fares to ride New York City's vast bus system, making CUNY (City University of New York) "tuition-free," freezing rents on municipal housing, offering "free childcare" for children up to age 5 and setting up government-run grocery stores.

Also fueling the Republican attacks are recent news items that have gone viral. They include a 2020 photo Mamdani posted online that shows him flipping off a statue of Christopher Columbus, stories about comments Mamdani made last December when he said as mayor he would arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his recent comments in a cable news interview that "I have many critiques of capitalism."

"Dangerous Socialist Zohran Mamdani is the new face of Tom Suozzi, Laura Gillen, Josh Riley, and Nellie Pou's Democrat Party, and it's no coincidence. If Democrats had their way, Mamdani's pro-criminal, open-borders, anti-law enforcement, and antisemitic agenda would be the law of the land," NRCC spokeswoman Maureen O'Toole argued in a statement to Fox News.

Suozzi, who represents a district that's anchored just outside of New York City in suburban Long Island but includes a sliver of Queens, has said he "wholeheartedly" disagrees with parts of Mamdani's agenda.

Gillen, who represents a neighboring district just outside of New York City in suburban Long Island, has said that Mamdani is "too extreme" to lead the nation's most populous city.

Riley, who represents a suburban and rural district in New York State north of the city, has been criticized by the NRCC for not weighing in on Mamdani. 

The NRCC has also targeted Pou, who represents a district in the New Jersey suburbs of New York City, for failing to "call out" Mamdani.

Democrats question the effectiveness of the GOP push.

They argue that there's a world of difference between heavily blue New York City, where Democrats outnumber Republicans by a roughly six-to-one margin, and some key battleground states and swing districts in the city's suburbs and elsewhere across the country.

Rep. Steve Cohen of Tennessee, a Democrat, told reporters the day after Mamdani's victory that "I love New York, but it's a very liberal place, and I don't know that you can necessarily apply that to the rest of the country."

In the high-profile 2026 race to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, Republican candidate and former Sen. Scott Brown went up last week with a digital ad that edits a picture of Rep. Chris Pappas, the Democratic candidate in the race, alongside photos of Mamdani and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the progressive rock star who backed Mamdani.

Pappas, speaking with Fox News Digital last week, said, "Republicans have spent tens of millions of dollars running attack ads against me through the years trying to paint me as someone that I’m not."

"People know me. They know the work that I’ve been doing. They know that I’m one of the most bipartisan members of the House of Representatives because I believe in solving problems and getting things done," Pappas said. "I’m a New Hampshire Democrat. I’m proud of my track record in Congress."
