Hulu’s ‘90s Week’ fetes decade’s TV

What’s old seems to always be new in the emulative television business as the boom of reboot, remakes and revivals continues.

But when it comes to the 1990s, Hulu is celebrating the era with a new documentary about the pop culture era — and a few original series of the day.

Along with the March 12 release of “Punky Brewster” actress Soleil Moon Frye’s “Kid 90” documentary, the Disney-owned streaming platform is rolling out full seasons of throwback shows such as “Blossom,” “Felicity” and “My So-Called Life.”

The Mayim Bialik-led sitcom “Blossom” arrives Monday to kick off what the company is referring to as “90s Week.”

The show centered on the life of a teenage girl, Blossom, and her family after the kids’ mother left them to pursue her dream career. All five seasons of the NBC series, which ran from 1990 to 1995, will be available to stream.

The more adult-leaning drama “Felicity,” starring Keri Russell and Scott Speedman, will be made available for streaming on Tuesday.

Created by J.J. Abrams, the New York-based drama centered on the titular character’s college years at the fictional University of New York. Along with Russell and Speedman, some of the main stars of the show included Amy Jo Johnson, Tangi Miller, Scott Foley and Greg Grunberg.

“Felicity” ran for four seasons from 1998 to 2002 on The WB, which is now The CW.

Although “My So-Called Life” only aired for one season (from 1994 to 1995), the teen drama series still has attracted a cultlike following.

The show, which arrives on Hulu on Thursday, brought Claire Danes to fame, as it focused on the life of her character and friends at the fictional Liberty High School.

Jared Leto starred in the show, alongside Wilson Cruz as an openly gay teen who brought much-needed LGBTQ representation to the small screen.

“Kid 90,” streaming March 12, gives viewers an inside look at Hollywood stars featuring Frye’s personal footage with fellow actors like David Arquette, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Brian Austin Green, Stephen Dorff and Heather McComb.
