Every year from 1988-2000 ABC had four comedies on their Friday fall schedule that was branded as TGIF. Mr. Belvedere was the 9PM anchor of that four comedy set up in 1988, although it wasn't formally called TGIF yet. Mr. Belvedere's full run was 6 seasons from 1985-1990. Christopher Hewett starred as British butler Mr. Lynn Belvedere. The Owens family was opposed to a male housekeeper at first, but all of them ended up liking him. Former major league baseball player Bob Uecker was the father George Owens, and his wife Marsha the mother was played by Ilene Graff. The oldest two teenagers were Kevin (Rob Stone) and Heather (Tracy Wells). Youngest son Wesley (Brice Beckham) was constantly getting into mischief.

1st Round: defeated The Kids Are Alright 9-2
Newhart aired 8 seasons on CBS from 1982-1990. Comedian Bob Newhart and Mary Frann starred as Dick and Joanna Loudon, owners of the Stratford Inn in rural Vermont. Comedy veteran Tom Poston was the inn's handyman George Utley. They are the only three cast members who remained on the whole series. Steven Kampmann was the next door cafe owner Kirk Devane who was constantly making up lies. Jennifer Holmes was the original maid Leslie Vanderkellen who left after season 1. Replacing her as maid from the same family, but a lot lazier and meaner, was Stephanie Vanderkellen (Julia Duffy). Recently deceased Peter Scolari joined as Dick's TV show producer Michael Harris. Michael and Stephanie soon got together and were the world's most self-centered couple. Kirk left at the end of season 2, starting in season 3 Michael replaced him as a regular. Larry, Darryl, and Darryl were hick country bumpkin brothers who started coming around the inn. They became the cafe owners after Kirk was gone. Only Larry (William Sanderson) spoke, the two Darryls (John Voldstad and Tony Papenfuss) were silent except for the series finale. In that finale the whole run of Newhart was revealed to be a dream when Bob Newhart woke up next to his wife Emily Hartley from The Bob Newhart Show, Suzanne Pleshette. He said she should wear more sweaters, which Joanna often did.
