My So Called Life was a television show that aired on ABC from August 25, 1994 to January 26, 1995. The show, set in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, follows high schooler Angela Chase, played by Claire Danes, through the emotional trials and angst of being a teenager. The show was praised for its portrayal of adolescence and depiction of social issues of the 1990's, including homophobia, teenage alcoholism, homelessness, adultery, school violence, censorship, and drug use. While the show was critically acclaimed it was canceled after one season because of low ratings.

The quote, "We had a time!", refers to a line in the pilot episode. Angela and her new best friend Rayanne try to get into a club but are denied access. While waiting in the parking lot of the club there is a confrontation when Angela and Rayanne are hit on by some older guys. The girls end up being driven home by a police officer. The next day at school Rayanne, bragging about their escapade, claims "We had a time!"

Disney's release of the live-action film My Favorite Martian (loosely based on the 1960s television show) was heavily advertised in commercials, posters, and buttons. The movie, which was released on February 12, 1999 was about a newscaster looking for the scoop of a lifetime when he discovers and befriends an alien. Though the film starred big names like Jeff Daniels, Christopher Lloyd, and Daryl Hannah, it was a box office dud and is now largely forgotten.

Mork & Mindy (1978-1982), a TV sitcom series starring Robin Williams, was a spin-off of the long-running sitcom Happy Days.  Williams' quirky character, Mork, is an extra-terrestrial deported from his home planet Ork because humor is not permitted there. Once on Earth, Mork’s assignment is to study human behavior and he does so with abandon and reflection.  WIlliams, known for his unique brand of humor, played Mork opposite Pam Dawber as Mindy, his human friend and roommate (whose father owned a music store). Mork & Mindy is credited with being the vehicle that made Williams a household name in the United States.  But despite initial acclaim, the series’ ratings steadily declined due to time-slot, plot & cast changes until its cancelation just four years later.
