Tom Hanks executive produces this series `The Nineties' with Gary Goetzman and Mark Herzog. `The Nineties' delves deeply into the decade that brought about the rise of the internet -- it may have been dial-up but it still brought great joy and frustration -- and many other technological advancements such as DVDs --the VHS became a dying breed once DVDs came about -- and stepping stones in culture, politics, fashion, and music. The decade also saw the rise of six famous friends living in Manhattan and a young man in brightly coloured cardigans, suspenders, and glasses.
