00:00 What happened I don't want to talk about it welcome to Miz mojo for this list
00:05 We'll be looking at shows from the 90s that for one reason or another sound too strange to be real
00:11 But oh yes, they most definitely are real how many of the shows on our list have you seen let us know in the comments
00:18 Number 10 cousin Skeeter
00:25 Girl I'm all about our SS up J. Oh girls got more moves than Allen Iverson in this option you excuse me while I prove my point
00:33 Cousin Skeeter is a children's show that aired on Nickelodeon from 1998 to 2001
00:41 It's about a young boy named Bobby and his cousin Skeeter who comes to live with his family in New York City
00:47 Don't worry be it's not as bad as you think see I'm pretty lover and you won't believe what I found in there
00:54 Gina
00:55 Most of the episodes revolve around these two main characters as Skeeter helps his cousin deal with the highs and lows of growing up
01:02 Sounds like a pretty standard kids sitcom right? Oh that must be because we forgot to mention that cousin Skeeter is a puppet
01:09 Even crazier is the fact that the show never addressed it, but instead treated him like he was a regular albeit short human being
01:17 That'd be pretty cool with this kid. Are you kid like they say in Hawaii Mickey like it look a little
01:23 I'm sorry
01:25 Number 9 vr5 stealth technology
01:30 Australian Aboriginal very primal
01:34 some bird
01:37 Beautiful one for me Sydney Bloom lost her father and sister in a car accident when she was a young girl at the time her
01:44 Computer scientist father and neurochemist mother had been working on virtual reality and almost 20 years later
01:50 Sydney also plays around with VR in her spare time one day
01:53 She stumbles upon a more advanced VR world in which she can connect with other people
01:58 understand virtual what
02:01 Virtual reality you put this on and transports you to another place an imaginary landscape
02:05 The kicker is that her actions in the simulation directly affect the real world with this newfound ability
02:11 She agrees to work with a secret organization known as the committee
02:15 Vr5 was meant to tap into the same sci-fi creepiness that made the X-Files so popular but far from the fame of the former
02:22 Fox only aired 10 of the original 13 episodes when I wake up. I'll remember everything but the other person
02:28 You'll just remember the feeling
02:32 You've tapped into the subconscious. I
02:35 Think I have
02:37 number eight
02:39 Sliders this wasn't a show about small delicious hamburgers
02:43 But honestly that might have been more promising than the five seasons of sliders. We actually got I still need to see your Salmonella insurance
02:50 And your carbonated beverage release forms. You need all that just to serve me a burger
02:55 Fine then look off
02:58 I'll just take the fries the show's premise sounds like an ode to quantum leap with Jerry O'Connell's protagonist and his crew
03:05 Sliding through wormholes into parallel universes while the first two seasons focus on social and political
03:11 Issues on the various Earth's the third season brought in a sexy military captain to up interest and viewers heart rates
03:18 Just your basic physicist
03:20 There's nothing basic about you guys
03:25 And how would you know that
03:30 But that wasn't the end of the changes by the fifth and final season most of the original cast had left
03:37 Including O'Connell who was replaced by Robert Floyd as an alternate version of the same character makes you want a small hamburger, doesn't it?
03:45 Yes
03:51 But by sending only one of us through we may have
03:54 altered that timeline number seven attack of the killer tomatoes in
03:59 1978 a satirical film was made about sentient tomatoes who turn on humans
04:04 It was called attack of the killer tomatoes, and that's probably where it should have met its end
04:19 But in 1990 a kids television show of the same name was made
04:23 Continuing on from the events of the movie in the show two men named dr
04:27 Putrid T gangrene and Igor Smith are turning tomatoes into monsters in the town of San Zucchini
04:33 Fighting them are quite the unconventional group composed of Chad Finletter Tara Boone DA and FT
04:48 We should probably mention that Tara is a tomato who became human. Thanks to dr
04:53 Gangrene and FT stands for fuzzy tomato, so we'll let you work that one out
04:58 Number six hi, honey, I'm home. I find the situation funny doesn't life seem so
05:16 Hi, honey, I'm home
05:18 Hi, honey. I'm home was a sitcom about a sitcom family the Nielsen's whose show gets canceled
05:24 They end up moving into the real world next door to Mike Duff one of their shows biggest fans while there
05:31 The Nielsen's learned to deal with the reality of life outside of a sitcom and Mike has to keep their secret in order for the family
05:37 To potentially find their way back on television
05:43 They always do on your show a
05:45 Sitcom family in the real world of a sitcom. Hi, honey
05:54 I'm home was the Russian doll of the TGIF lineup at least for the first six episode season the second season's
06:01 Episodes aired only on Nickelodeon. Where did you get this?
06:10 Number five Baywatch nights with a weekly audience
06:14 Estimated to be around 1.1 billion people Baywatch was the most watched television show in the world for much of its 11 season run
06:22 Given those numbers it makes sense that they would want to spin off other shows from the main series
06:38 Unfortunately what they came up with was a basic detective agency show called Baywatch nights or at least
06:44 Season one was basic causes respiratory paralysis and unconsciousness and then death
06:49 Associate the poisonous food jumped in a car drives down the mountain and powers you see for some reason the standard detective
06:57 Agency show didn't get great ratings not enough scantily clad people running in slow-mo along the beach
07:03 We assume so for season two inspired by the success of the X-Files. They went full sci-fi
07:09 Needless to say it didn't help. I saw something. All right. I don't know what it was. Okay
07:15 Could have been a crazed crew member. I still don't believe in the tooth fairy
07:19 But you saw it number four dinosaurs doesn't eat up the space between commercials fine
07:27 Get it on
07:29 We just need a couple of hit shows in the early 90s Jim Henson and Disney teamed up to bring a family of
07:39 Anthropomorphic dinosaurs to our TGIF nights on ABC Henson passed away in
07:44 1990 but had conceived of the show two years prior while a show featuring a family of
07:49 Domesticated dinosaur puppets might seem a little weird that isn't what landed the series a spot on our list
07:55 It makes it possible to plan out a whole viewing schedule
07:58 Hey kids, look look at this the shows come on just when the book says they will
08:02 This is the greatest breakthrough of our time that was earned with its final episode an episode in which the dinosaurs
08:09 Careless treatment of the environment culminates in the protagonist family having no other options, but to sit and wait for death
08:16 Absolutely, no chill ABC and taking a look at the long-range forecast
08:22 Continued snow darkness an extreme cold
08:25 This is Howard hand up me
08:28 Good night number three baby talk
08:32 I like that but then again I think itsy bitsy spider is a classic in
08:43 1989 look who's talking taught us that it was hysterical when babies had grown up thoughts voiced by famous people
08:50 You probably remember the sequel look who's talking to but many of us have little memory of the short-lived ABC series baby
08:56 Talk loosely based on the first film
08:59 This version once again features Tony Danza and as it turns out the whole babies voiced by grown-ups can get tired pretty quickly
09:13 What will really throw some for a loop though is a young George Clooney in the first season
09:18 Even that's not really enough to redeem it in this crazy baseball game, which we call life a child's nursery is his dugout
09:26 It's where every rookie learns the moves so that when it's his turn at bat
09:30 He knows what to do
09:32 number two
09:34 Coprock if you've ever watched a cop show on TV and felt it would be so much better as the characters broke out into song
09:40 Every now and then well coprock is the show for you
09:44 I never sleep so stay away
09:46 Co-created by Stephen Bochco the man who just a few years later would help give us one of the greatest cop shows of all time
09:59 NYPD blue coprock was the police procedural musical. No one was waiting for
10:13 In the end the dichotomy of the gritty police drama with the various musical numbers
10:17 Didn't really work for critics or fans and the show ended after just 11 episodes

11:16 Anthropomorphic vacuum cleaner and who could forget the Sun with the face of a baby
11:20 If you didn't know any better you'd be more likely to think we were describing a literal fever dream
11:31 We had and not one of the most popular kids shows of all time
11:35 But alas, it's the latter and it doesn't look any less trippy now than it did over two decades ago. Bye. Bye. Tinky-winky
