Top 50 Iconic TV Characters of the 90s

35. Tommy the Green Ranger - Power Rangers

Here+is+the+green+ranger+_3a675788111eb46c3a6fe309073ff69c Seriously, stop lying, you know you watched Power Rangers as a kid growing up. It's OK, you're not alone, there's a lot of us out there. By far the coolest of the Power Rangers was Tommy. I mean, he played some sort of flute thing that summoned some sort of Godzilla looking like robot thing. What else in life could you want!? When he wasn't kicking ass and taking names as the green ranger, he was the white ranger. Either way, you wanted to be him ... and not just for Halloween.

34. Drew Carey - The Drew Carey Show

tpir Yeah I know, the picture above is of him hosting The Price is Right. It's all I could find, give me a break. Now, Drew Carey is kind of a goon but it's ok, The Drew Carey Show was actually pretty good. It centered around him and his friends and their day to day lives and situations they found themselves in. Sort of like a Seinfeld rip off but it's ok, it worked. Shout out to Larry David! Drew Carey gained most of popularity from his sitcom that lasted 9 seasons but in my opinion his best work came from being the host of Who's Line Is It Anyways? Where he sat around and read note cards while actual performers did all the work. Zing!

33. Bob Barker - The Price is Right

392297-adam_sandler_super Just edging out Drew Carey is the original host of The Price is Right Mr. Bob Barker. Now there's no doubt everybody's seen at least one episode of The Price is Right, which is why Mr. Barker graces us with his presence on this list. An American TV icon, Bob Barber hosted the show from 1972-2007. Yeah, for 35 YEARS! Talk about longevity. Mr. Barker can do no wrong, whether he's making a cameo in Happy Gilmore or hosting an episode of WWE Raw. Not only is the man a legend but I bet he could guess your grocery bill within a dollar (under of course). What a talent.

32. Jim Carrey - In Living Color

carrey25 In Living Color is where is all began for Jim Carrey. A regular on the sketch comedy series, Jim's true personality shined through. His portrayal of over the top characters helped him get scene by a broader audience. This is a show that's dvd worthy, in large part because of Jim. Without In Living Color we'd have no Jim Carrey so thank god for both. Soon after leaving the show he stared in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and the rest is history.

31. Uncle Phil - The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

tumblr_lvcawaspr21qz8gt5o1_500 Uncle Phil was the strict, no nonsense father of Carlton, Hilary, Ashley and uncle to Will Smith. His attempts to keep everyone in line often ended in failure which just added fuel to the fire making him all the more enraged. He's best known for yelling at Will and Carlton who were always doing hilariously idiotic things. He's easily the funniest uncle on this list so it's no surprise that he made the cut, especially due to how popular The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was.
