Last night, Samuel L. Jackson showed off his slam poetry prowess with a ditty about the hit TGIF show “Boy Meets World” on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.” Of course, he totally killed it, which is appropriate, given that it is National Poetry Month. But Sam, you’re not the only one who knows how to dig deep on the theme of ’90s TV shows. As a matter of fact, here are some haikus to show just how passionate BDCwire is about classic television.
