But anyway. While I was watching Freaks and Geeks, I started thinking about Lindsay and Nick as a sort-of couple and I sort of started wishing I could be included in the little thing they had going on, or that at least I could replace Lindsay. Then I started thinking about other ’90s fictional couples I wouldn’t have minded being a part of. And so… here are my 10 favorite ’90s TV couples, from the obvious to the maybe not as obvious. Admit it – you’d totally switch places with some of these people for a few days.

DJ & Steve from Full House

Yes, these two end up breaking up, but I think they sort of get back together… right? Not only did I used to be totally jealous of D.J. and Steve’s relationship, but I was basically just jealous of D.J. in general and wanted whatever she had. This totally relatable relationship is the kind of first love a lot of us have always wanted.

Sabrina and Harvey from Sabrina The Teenage Witch

Sabrina and Harvey have such a dramatic ending – they break up, find other people, almost get married (Sabrina)… and then magically reunite! It’s so romantic and wonderful, although kind of mean if you think about it. But still – exciting!

Zack and Kelly from Saved By The Bell

Not going to lie, this is kind of a complicated love story that I have trouble following because my dad didn’t like when I watched Saved By The Bell, so I pretty much had to watch it in secret. But regardless of the fact that I didn’t know this couple super well, I always wanted to be a part of it. Zack and Kelly are adorable together.

Lindsay and Nick from Freaks and Geeks

Okay, honestly, Nick was way too nice for Lindsay. Lindsay was like this wanna-be wild child, and Nick was sort of wild but was really a nice guy at heart. And to me, Linds always seemed so stuck on Daniel. It was like, Lindsay, get your head together! I mean, I would have been more than willing to take her place.

Ross and Rachel from Friends

I mean, obviously. Guys – Ross and Rachel are iconic to me. I know they had a ton of ups and downs, but when they were together, they were perfect! They were meant to end up together. He said her name during his wedding to that horrible English girl. Come on!

Buffy and Angel from Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Speaking of iconic, here’s Buffy and Angel. I like to think of them as the ’90s version of Edward and Bella, but so much better. This was forbidden love at it’s best, ladies.

Angela and Jordan from My So-Called Life

I guess we don’t really know exactly what happened between Angela and Jordan, but I like to imagine they lived happily ever after in cute couple bliss. This was a seriously relatable high school couple and I loved every second of it.

Brenda and Dylan from 90210

Although we never officially saw this on-again/off-again couple get together for realz, we pretty much know they ended up together and are possibly living together in London in some TV reality land. How awesome, right?

Rebecca and Uncle Jesse from Full House

They may be a little older than any other couple on this list, but that doesn’t mean they don’t belong here. There’s only one woman I’d allow to steal Uncle Jesse, and that’s Rebecca.

Cory and Topanga from Boy Meets World

Do these two even need an explanation? Cory and Topanga are basically the ultimate ’90s couple – important enough to get their own spin-off years later. Their love might be hard to believe, since they were teenagers, but whatever. Still perfect.

Which of these couples was your favorite? Who did I miss? Which TV couple right now is your favorite? Tell me in the comments!

Read on for the absolutely insane and sometimes downright wrong lessons the best ’90s TV shows ever taught us all. Then let me know in the comments what nutso lessons you learned from your favorite old shows.

Clarissa Explains It All: Climbing into a girl’s bedroom window isn’t creepy at all.

It’s not weird for your best guy friend to come sneaking into your second-story room whenever he wants without any notice at all. It’s cute. It just shows how close you guys are. Really. But actually, please don’t do this. You’ll probably get arrested.

The Fresh Prince of Bel Air: If you mess up and get in some fights, you can live like a millionaire.

Okay, so you’ve been messing up in school and starting fights. No biggie, you can always pack up and start a brand new life, one that involves a sarcastic butler and lots of money. Because I mean, don’t we all have super rich uncles who live in super posh areas who are willing to let you live with them even if you’re a total screw-up? No? Are you sure?

Family Matters: It’s okay to bully a kid as long as he’s super weird.

Usually, bullying is wrong, but Family Matters proves that it’s not always wrong. It’s okay if the kid you’re being mean to is super strange and different and weird. I mean, was it just me, or was this whole family really, insanely mean to Steve Urkel?

Full House: Basements are for bachelors. Attics are for family men. Moving out is for losers.

When you’re ready to move out, you don’t actually have to move out. You can live in the basement while you’re single, and then once you’re ready to start a family, you can just move up into the attic – with all of them. Seriously, attics are totally big enough for an entire family to live in. And living with your whole extended family is never going to get annoying. Just take it from Uncle Jesse.

Boy Meets World: Crimped hair is a great way to meet your soulmate.

I love Topanga, but let’s be real: her hair was crazy. ’90s acceptable crazy, but still crazy. But good news: crazy, crimped, big hair can still help you find your soulmate in life. Just look at Cory and Topanga – what more proof do you need?

Sabrina the Teenage Witch: You shouldn’t always listen to your cat.

You might think that your talking cat is giving you good advice, but that’s not always the case. Sometimes your cat can just get you in lots of trouble and convince you to do magic you probably shouldn’t even be doing. So stop listening to your cat, okay?

Kenan & Kel: Orange soda solves all problems.

Orange soda is delicious and amazing and one of the best drinks ever. Kel knows this more than anyone in the world. And drinking it will help fix all of your problems, because it will always make you smile. So next time you’re feeling sad – just buy yourself some orange soda. Boom. Problem solved.

Home Improvement: Don’t know what to do? Ask a creepy guy with no face, obvs!

If you need advice, go to your neighbor. It doesn’t matter that he doesn’t seem to have a face. That’s not weird or creepy at all. Just keep going into your backyard and bothering him by talking to him through the fence. It’s no big deal that you guys never see each other.

Are You Afraid of the Dark?: All scary stories have happy endings.

Don’t be afraid of scary stories – They’re like Disney movies with flashlights! According to this show, it doesn’t matter how many bad things happen, or how many supernatural creatures appear… there will always be a happy ending. Okay, maybe that’s actually kind of a good lesson. Although it does make scary stories much less scary.

Friends: Dating your friends always works out and never destroys a friend group.

You can have a group of 6 friends and almost all of you can date at some point, but you’ll all still remain best buddies with no weirdness at all! Seriously, dating each other is never going to make you completely resent each other. Or at least according to Friends.
