The best single show the famed family line-up ever was...?

This is sooo tough because I love them all so much but I voted for "BMW". That show holds a special place in my heart.

Sorry, my english is bad sometimes... but I really didn't understand the question :(

Of course I didn't understand... it was an American program :P

Boy Meets World of course

Full House

I picked "Family Matters", it was the show that made TGIF...too bad the line-up went to pot in 1996.

Mr. Belvedere, Dinosaurs, and Family Matters were funny, but the rest sad to say haven't been to my liking.

I started to pick "FM" but chose "BMW" at the last minute. After thinking about it, I liked "BMW" more back when it originally aired and I like "FM" more now.

I picked Perfect Strangers that was TGIF for me and a close second place for me would be Family Matters.

I voted for Just the Ten of Us, although, Sabrina is a close second.

Just The Ten Of Us

Also go with Perfect Strangers. Mark Linn Baker was very underrated.

THANK YOU!

Personally, I always thought Mark Linn Baker was far superior than Bronson Pinchot ever was in the series.

Even as a child I did and as an adult I still do...

Boy Meets World, no question. Though I do still enjoy most of the TGIF shows. I'm surprised no one has made a rerun block and aired them together.

Welcome to the Boards:wave: :wave:

He about literally vanished into thin air it seemed, too right after the show ended. I can't think of any TV work at all he's done since then. That happens a lot, an actor/actress gets so associated with a role it's extremely difficult for them to get other roles. If they do get other series work it's nowhere near their initial success. In Mark's case he seemed to walk away from TV entirely after PS.

This is the one poll where picking just one show is truly impossible..but fir the sake of the poll I chose Family Matters, since that comes closest for me as best show.

Instead of an other option how about an "All of the above" option, OP? :p it'd make it a lot easier for people to vote that's for sure!

Probably so, it's certainly not a scientific poll lol, but yes I see your point...it's hard to pick.

Also, I'm very surprised that "Just the Ten of Us" has been chosen third thus far, this isn't to say anything negative at all about the show...but it is surprising to me at least.

According to IMDB he has worked steadily as a character actor in bit roles since then; http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0513021/

I'll go with BMW. I would've gone with Full House or Family Matters but the latter seasons on both made me not choose them.

1. Boy Meets World
2. Family Matters
3. Full House
4. Step by Step
5. Sabrina, The Teenage Witch

I'll be damned, he sure has had some bit role work since the show ended! I guess I just haven't seen any of it. I'm glad he's still active..always liked cousin Larry and Mark as a person :) thanks for the clarification!

Now that you mention it, what about Bronson Pinchot?

Did any of you "TGIF" fans of the late '90's ever switch channels to watch the ill-attempted CBS 'family' "Block Party" line-up?

Ever watch "Meego"?

#1 boy meets world
#2 family matters
#3 step by step
#4 Perfect Strangers
#5 hanging with Mr. cooper
#6 teen angel
#7 Sabrina, The Teenage Witch
#8 full house
#9 Mr.. Belvedere
#10 dinosaurs

I never seen Mr. belvedere I recently brought it on dvd I also liked Sabrina but it kind of gotten stupid in later episode's same goes for family matters I don't remember ten of us so I just put hanging with Mr. cooper

Bronson Pinchot has been extremely active since Perfect Strangers ended! He's done quite a bit of guest starring in shows since then. Believe it or not, he has his own Reality show that just started recently-called The Bronson Pinchot Project. One of his big hobbies the last few years is buying old houses that need major restoration work and he's doing some of that work on his new show. He owns several properties in Pennsylvania that he's planning to fix up. Bronson said in his recent Reddit AMA and other recent Interviews he's all for a Perfect Strangers reunion show if they can get everyone's schedules to line up for it so we will see if it happens!

The year CBS did Friday Night Block Party was during my last year of High School so I wasn't able to see a whole lot of either that or TGIF that year. The Fridays I DID get to see it what i did was watch Family Matters on CBS first at 8/7, then flip to ABC for Boy Meets World then back to CBS an hour later for Step By Step. I really wish I'd had more time to support both blocks that year :( I personally wasn't tired of FM, BMW or SBS at all so having to miss them most weeks that year stung. Life just got busier :( I was finally able to see most of the final seasons of FM and SBS a few years back.

I've written a lot here on CBS' Friday Night Block Party here on sitcoms online already so I won't re-tread old ground here. I'll just say Les Moonves had the right idea. He got the right shows for the block but the block came a few years too late. Marketing for the block was dead on the Bulls eye as was the execution. Had Block Party came 3, 4 years sooner than it did it probably would have been a huge hit. I did see a few episodes of Meego. The problem with Meego was everyone wanted to see Bronson Pinchot as their old friend Balki again, not as a weird alien. Bronson's actual voice is nothing like his Balki voice, at ALL. I just don't think people were ready for that. Had Meego starred some other well known actor or someone looking for their big break I think it coulda done modestly well.

If you're curious on my expanded thoughts regarding Block Party and TGIF you should be able to get to those posts pretty easily through my post history :)

You're one of the best new posters we've gotten in a while!

I voted Full House but I liked Boy Meets World and Family Matter and Step by Step all the same pretty much lol hard one!

Family Matters

I picked Just The Ten Of Us, a super fun totally underrated show.

I went with Full House, with Perfect Strangers an EXTREMELY close 2nd. I would have given it #1 if I had the chance to watch the entire run on DVD. :(

Mr. Belvedere gets my vote!!!

Believe it or not, I've never seen an episode of "JTTOU". I keep hearing only good things about it and I wish some company would finally release it so I could watch it. Shouldn't be too difficult to release as a complete series set since it was only 47 episodes.

It was cute. It was a goofy , bald, chubby guy who was a teacher or a coach at a school or something, and they had lots of kids. Focus was on the teenage daughters mainly! I haven't seen it ever in reruns, so I'm only posting from memory of when it was first run! ;)

I liked that show and also Sabrina the teenage witch! Dinosaurs was cute and at the time I liked Hanging with Mr. Cooper, and Perfect Strangers too. But I still have to go with Mr. Belvedere as my favorite. I'll put Sabrina second and Just the ten of us third. ;)

I keep hoping for a complete series set, but I think the holdup maybe due to the pop songs in it. The teen girls in the show became night club singers at one point and sang pop songs in some episodes. It sounds dumb, but at the time it made sense and was awesome!:lol:

I remembered it wrong. They were pizza parlor singers. :lol:

They were hot too!

My first choice would be Family Matters, second would be Step By Step

I voted for Boy Meets World when this poll first came out. However at that time I had never seen Mr. Belvedere, which is now in my top 10 overall.

For me, this is a toss up between Full House and Boy Meets World, but since Full House was only on TGIF for a few years, I'm going with Boy Meets World.

I like Family Matters!!!

I love beautiful Balki/Bronson from the Perfect Strangers show!

God bless you and him always!!!

Holly

I went with Full House.

All of the Above except for Dinosaurs

Wasn't the Fresh Prince on Friday night??

No. As far as I remembered, it was always on Monday night.

Wasn't the Fresh Prince on Friday night??

No, it was on Monday nights and it didn't air on ABC it aired on NBC. It was part of the monday line-up with Blossom for most of its run.

But TGIF doesn't mean ABC. That means any Friday show although I acknowledge Fresh Prince wasn't on Friday.

Wasn't Hangin with Mr.Cooper on Fridays?

But TGIF doesn't mean ABC. That means any Friday show although I acknowledge Fresh Prince wasn't on Friday.

Wasn't Hangin with Mr.Cooper on Fridays?

Not correct. TGIF which stands for Thank Goodness It's Funny was a specific programming block created by ABC to air their hit family comedies. It refers to a specific block of programming aired on ABC, which happened to air on Friday nights.

Here is a wikipedia link that explains it all:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TGIF_(TV_programming_block)

As for Hanging with Mr. Cooper, yes it did air on Friday nights as part of the TGIF block from 1993 to 1996.

I voted Perfect Strangers.

It was a pretty popular show back then that now has TOTALLY disappeared & you never see it in syndication.

^^^ I LOVE Bronson Pinchot (Balki).

God bless you and him always!!!

Holly

He completely disappeared after doing Step by Step where he had another funny role.

At the peak of Family Matters it had the highest ratings out of all of the rest of the tgif shows I believe........

Boy Meets World receives my vote because it holds such nostalgia in my heart, followed closely by Sabrina! :)

Dinosaurs got my vote! :)

Had to go with "Boy Meets World" although I watched most of the block religiously and have seen every episode of it, "Family Matters", "Full House" and "Step by Step." I've also seen all the ABC eps. of "Sabrina" although it's been years since I re-watched them.

"Boy Meets World" (and its spinoff, "Girl Meets World" to a lesser extent) just had such great messages and could tackle serious topics well while adding comedy as well.
