My thoughts about these two seasons:

1992-93: Dinosaurs rocked! Who didn't love Baby Sinclair torturing Earl with a frying pan while shouting "Not the Mama! Not the Mama!" I vaguely remember Camp Wilder, though, and Family Matters & Step By Step were still great shows at the time.

1997-98: Both You Wish & Teen Angel definitely proved that Sabrina the Teenage Witch & Boy Meets World were the two signature TGIF shows of the late 90s for sure.

I can speak for the 1992 lineup. I turned the channel after step by step went off-lol

I liked Dinosaurs but yea Camp Wilder was pretty bad. That last schedule was awful. I never watched Teen Angel and You Wish and I had stopped watching BMW and Sabrina before that so TGIF was dead to me during that season.

I like BMW, FM, and SBS but Sabrina is a show that I cannot watch. I find it really annoying and I recall not liking Teen Angel either.

The 97-98 lineup was the worst. The only shows I watched were BMW and You Wish. I never liked Sabrina and Teen Angel was horrible. :lol:

The 92-93 lineup wasn't really that bad. You had SBS and Family Matters, two of my favorite TGIF shows. I liked Dinosaurs too although I doubt I'd ever watch it today. Camp Wilder sucked, but it was still better than Teen Angel.

I didn't mind the 1992-93 lineup.

As long as I saw Angie, all was right in my young, impressionable world.

As for 1997-98, I watched the first two shows only.

I stopped watching TGIF after Full House was moved to Tuesday. Why they did that, I'll never know!:confused:

Well It was kind of suited for Sunday Evening because there were more kids on the cast than adults-lol

It was because FH became a big hit and they wanted it to anchor Tuesday which was a more high profile night.

Those look ok. Except that I don't know what Camp Wilder was (was Gene Wilder in it?) and You Wish stunk.

No he wasn't in it. Jerry O'Connell, Jay Mohr and Hillary Swank were in it as kids. lol

You're thinking of the 1994-95 NBC sitcom "Something Wilder" that Gene starred in briefly.

Yeah, it was originally Tuesdays at 8:30. I believe for the first season (First 6 episodes), repeats of the previous week's episode aired at 8pm, with the new episode at 8:30.

Nope, The Wonder Years was never a TGIF show. It was on either Tuesday or Wednesday night for its entire run.

I remember I was devastated when Teen Angel was canceled, but then I was only 11. I might still enjoy it today or I might cringe in shame for liking such a show, much like I do when I watch Full House and Family Matters today LOL.

I never got into Boy Meets world because I was starting college when it premeired and cory and his friends and topanga was 11 years old-lol So it didn't catch on with me at the time.

I was in my 20's when the show premiered, and I still love it to this day-LOL. My children love it too, though, which is probably why I still watch it.

I used to be obsessed with the show but I've all the episodes so many times that I haven't watched the show in a little over a year now.
