#16: Clarissa Explains It All
Yet another coming-of-age, teenage-life-is-awkward series was Clarissa Explains It All. What made this Nickelodeon series (1991-1994) different, though, was that Clarissa constantly broke the fourth wall, speaking directly to the audience about what was going on or how she was feeling. Not only was that format unique for this kind of teen show, but Clarissa also became the first Nick show that starred a girl as opposed to the other shows that all had male leads.
