ABC TGIF Promo

[UrkManRocks]

Spring of 1996.

[stlvolvo12]

I totally forgot about "Hanging With Mister Cooper". The memories this just brought back...

[UrkManRocks]

It true osaji922, next fall (2012-13), ABC will most likely bring back TGIF because everyone at the network is all for it!

[osaji922]

From what I've researched, the president of ABC, Paul Lee, was intending on reviving TGIF for fall 2011 but the execs advised him to wait til next year to do so.

It may take a while but TGIF will be back and I long for the days of watching. I miss those days so much

[adenjordan]

im so with you sonicscreamingblue, those were the good old days! If you'll excuse me I'm going to cry now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LessonNumber1]

that was 1993 or 1994

[osaji922]

@LessonNumber1 try 1995

[LessonNumber1]

@osaji922 on that year redicts to anthology. this clip was aired around 1993 or 1994.

[osaji922]

@LessonNumber1 That clip of Boy Meets World is from season 3 which I know was 1995-1996

[LessonNumber1]

@osaji922 is that before anthology airing?

[osaji922]

@LessonNumber1 I'm not sure. I just know this is either '95 or '96

[FutureNewsAnchor]

[missysisi013]

[brookieever]

[mrsdarja]

THUMBS UP if Ryan sent you here :)

[showstoppa01]

TGIF made it cool to stay home on a Friday Night

[NSUDemonchipmunk]

ah, memories of when TV was worth watching...if only we could go back to these days. i miss sitcoms. too much drama (crap) and reality (worst thing to ever be created) and comedies with no laugh tracks (more crap) on today

[m0sthated80]

abc sucks now

[drewdudy]

wish i could see tgif again. It was the best, now i could careless about tv.

[ReginaCB1]

I am glad that Boy Meets World is back on the air again on ABC Family at 7 am. I watch it every morning now while I am getting my kids ready for school. Also, Sabrina is on at 2 pm. on ABC Family. What I want back on the air somewhere is Just the Ten of Us. That was one of the original TGIF shows, along with Perfect Strangers, and Full House.

[MalcomAP]

@ReginaCB1 I agree but lets not leave out Dinosaurs, Full House was one of my favorites as well, I loved Perfect Strangers, Family Matters, Boy meets World, I could careless about " Just The Ten of Us" though. It was a show that held no type of merit it was dry and tasteless to me in my opinion.

[FutureNewsAnchor]

Three out of the four TGIF shows promoted here were gone from ABC by the end of the next season. Perhaps the worst casualty was "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper", which was only given a six-episode order for the fifth and last season. ABC also scheduled it for Saturday nights in the summer of 1997. The show paired with "Family Matters" in the 8pm hour, filling the void left by "Lois & Clark" after its abrupt cancellation.

[FutureNewsAnchor]

*was* paired with "Family Matters" in the 8pm hour. My bad.

[liteskinnededgal]

TGIF was the sh*t! I used to order my pizza half an hour before it came on...miss those days.

[chiefsfan67]

@liteskinnededgal I did the exact same thing. Then I woke up on Saturday mornings to watch Teenage Mutant Ninji Turtles, which made me hungry for pizza again.

[MalcomAP]

@liteskinnededgal co-sign completely miss those days

[F5G6H5]

ohhh the 90s what a awesome time to grow up and the 80s too

[ishotu747]

what year was this promo from?

[coolwafferman]

Ahh...the 90's TGIF with "Family Matters" then the other shows followed. Talk about a great Friday night.Then Saturday Nights was SNICK.

I wish i can travel back in time.

[iluvjtt25]

I'm 14 and all the shows on ABC in the 90s were so much better than now. Too bad they don't have TGIF anymore...

[HHHjames]

TGIF was ruined when they did that "Making the band shit". I stopped watching when that shit aired.

[AndyDQMizzle]

I never missed T.G.I.F. when I was a kid.

[homiex04]

my kingdom to go back to this eara for a day

[CA480]

YES!!!!!

[showstoppa01]

Man Tgif was the best back in the day and to cap it off the next mornign were saturday mornign cartoons

[F5G6H5]

TGIF so nostalgic

[pannoni1]

I guess Supernanny (Reality) and Ugly Betty (Dramedy) is what passes for TGIF these days. Strangely, we may still have 20/20 in the year 2020. (I always thought as a kid if 20/20 will still have the same time slot in the year 2020).

Network Saturday morning cartoons aren't TOTALLY dead, but they're only a shadow of their former self. (1 hour on ABC, followed by 2 hours on CBS, and finally 1 hour on NBC).

[JohnnyL80]

Awesome!! I remember this like it was yesterday. Why can't TV still be like this

[tnafever]

because networks got cheap and would rather put on cheap reality shows than to put on expensive studio sitcoms.

[JVernon83]

Amen!

[cbcool14]

They don't make good tv like they used to! TV sucks now!

[JVernon83]

You got that right!

[HolidaySeason4Ever]

PART 1

I hate how there's really no more sitcoms anymore. Yes there are a few today, but they are not as dominate as they once were. In fact, we hardly even see tv theme intros anymore.

All we see is just the name of the show, and the starring credits, and then the show is on.

All we see today is either reality shows, dramas, etc.

[HolidaySeason4Ever]

Part 2. Please read part 1 -

Even the cable channels are following the same format.

I really loved TGIF becuase my mom would order 2 Little Caesars Pizzas and some Crazy Bread.

TGIF was great, but then that stupid CBS Block Party ruined it all. I use to end my night by watching 20/20 with Hugh Downs, and then I'd watch MonsterVision on TNT.

I also loved Fridays Fridays because I could watch some Saturday morning cartoons. It's also too bad that Saturday morning cartoons are dead too.

[mooky9669]

couldn't have said it better myself...

[MrBadboyKilla]

Yeah, my mom and dad used to order pizza and wings and my friends would sleep over.

[simplymusic100]

i loved tgif so much! i can remeber even being 4 years old and watching family matters with some dominoes pizza to top it all off. : ) i really didn't start watching boy meets world and step by step until the end, but they are amazing!

[GDelva2003]

My dad used to watch ABC all the time. now he doesn't cause it's crap

[cbsteffen]

Hey, hardly anybody likes new shows anymore, so your father has a lot of company.

[MalcomAP]

@GDelva2003 Its completely crap

[osaji922]

@GDelva2003 I used to be the same way. I feel as though tv might be slowly changing especially ABC. They've got The Middle and Modern Family and new comedies Last Man Standing with Tim Allen. Who knows. I hope tv can be as good as TGIF because that's what I used to watch growing up before the dreadful hiatus called the 00's.

[RowanMartin68]

so great.

i loved TGIF as a kid.

[jriley1992]

For your goddamn information, I dont like Family Matters and I ain't a virgin, bitch.

[marquishoskins]

This was the best lineup for TGIF!

[lucyboo0702]

omg like remember when the line up for friday night television was actually good.. like if u had stayed home it wouldnt have been that bad lol boys meets world was the wonder years of my time

[jriley1992]

I like Hangin' with Mr. Cooper! That show is the shit!

[barber747]

It just so happens that I actually remember that Family Matters episode--wasn't that from the 6th season (1994-95)?

[jgarin07]

No this was from 1995-96. I remember clearly the TGIF graphics.

[barber747]

Damn, your right. I had nearly forgotten cause I had seen that episode a long time ago but had forgotten what season it was from. Not from ABC but from several years after the series had ended--in 2002 or 03 was when I saw this partic. episode.

[vgfanatix1]

There are some Family Matters Episodes here on Youtube. I need to find Boy Meets World, and it's impossible to find Step by Step or Mr. Cooper.
