Turning on the TV in the 1990's enabled viewers to see the previous
decade's comedy geniuses pass the torch to the new masters who were set to
emerge and turn broadcasting on its ear. While 80's stalwarts like Cheers
and the Cosby Show were still around, they would soon bow out to let
innovative sitcoms like The silver screen would also see its own fair dose of genre-busting, standard-setting performances. Quentin Tarantino and John Woo would turn the violence up to 11, but balance it out with smart dialogue and incredible mis-en-scene that would elevate the action film to an art form. Teens got a slice of American Pie and other excellent comedies like Can't Hardly Wait and Wayne's World, but they also had their pants scared off by the equally youth-oriented Scream series. Of course, who could forget films like Titanic, The English Patient and Jurassic Park that touched audiences around the world and created a phenomenon too big to be contained in a movie theater. The 1990's were an entertainment renaissance and displayed a burst of creativity rarely matched in the annals of film and television.
