Of all the shows from 1996, Moesha just may have had the biggest impact on pop culture of them all. The setup fit right into the typical style of a family sitcom: a teenage girl deals with high school drama, while also trying to adjust to her widowed father marrying her school's vice principal. Although it was absolutely a comedy, the show never tried to avoid tough topics, from "normal" high school topics like drugs and sex to issues of race, gender, and inequality. Moesha's legacy also lives on in two other shows that take place in the same universe: Girlfriends and The Game.
