Random Wild Fan Theories About '90s Sitcoms (11 items)

(#4) 'Saved by the Bell' Was Just Zack Morris's Dream

There once was a series called Good Morning, Miss Bliss and it featured Zack, Mr. Belding, Screech, and Lisa. On this series Zack wasn’t the cool, smooth kid. He was your average schmuck at a school in Indiana. Then, that series came to an end and Zack reemerged on Saved by the Bell as the popular kid who is good at everything and liked by everyone.
Essentially, this theory holds that Saved by the Bell didn’t happen and it was simply Zack’s ideal, perfect dream life being imagined to escape his less magnificent reality. The creator of the theory, Logan Trent wrote, “It’s nothing more than the escapist fantasy of a disillusioned young man named Zack Morris.”
(#6) 'Modern Family' Is A Sequel To 'Married… With Children'
Ed O’Neill is on both shows which initiated the link, but the theory points out that on both shows he had a blonde daughter and a son. They were kids on Married… With Children, but they’re fully grown adults on Modern Family. It adds up even more when you realize that O’Neill’s character on Modern Family is in his second marriage, and he admits the first didn’t go well because he wasn’t very nice.
(#1) 'Friends,' 'Seinfeld,' And 'Mad About You' All Took Place In The Same Universe

On an episode of Mad About You, Phoebe’s twin sister, Ursula, is a waitress at a restaurant named Riff’s. Also, Jamie from Mad About You was on Friends, and she spoke to Phoebe at Central Perk, mistaking her for Ursula. That links Mad About You to Friends.
Meanwhile, Kramer was once on Mad About You, taking over Paul’s apartment, and he mentions a comedian living across the hall – an obvious reference to Jerry, linking Mad About You to Seinfeld. This would mean they’re all closely connected.
(#10) 'Sabrina the Teenage Witch' Was About Being Gay
This theory states that Sabrina’s secret (being a witch) and the fact that she can’t tell her friends out of fear of persecution, is actually a gay allegory. The creator of the theory also points out that Sabrina is her “true self” when she’s in a world called the Other Realm, which she accesses through a closet.
(#9) 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' Takes Place In Heaven

This theory states that the “one little fight” Will got into on the basketball court in West Philadelphia was a fatal one. That’s right, Will passed on the court, and the taxi driver with the “rare” cab is God, transporting Will to heaven. The times Will sees his mom and dad on the show are instances in which they’re visiting his grave.
(#2) 'Boy Meets World' Is Shown As Cory Sees It

One thing fans of this series question is the evolution of Eric’s character, from cool older brother to comically dumb dummy. The theory says that we’re being shown things as Cory sees them, so as a kid his older brother was cool, but once he’s grown and matured, he sees how stupid he is. This could also explain the disappearance of his little sister for a couple seasons, because he was a teenager who wants nothing to do with their younger sibling.
