My favorite is..

Just The 10 Of Us


My Favorite TGIF line up

8pm Perfect Strangers (4th Favorite)
8:30pm Full House (2nd Favorite)
9pm Mr.Belvedere (3rd Favorite)
9:30pm Just The 10 Of Us (1st Favorite)


I also enjoyed The Charmings and Hi Honey, I’m Home!

I liked Step By Step the 1st season or 2 but when it became more about Cody and the Kids friends that’s where the Step became a missed one for me.

All of them sucked badly! TGIF was the worst excuse for a programming lineup in the history of US television, and its dumbed down effects are still being felt today.

My favorite was probably Step By Step, although I'm pretty sure I missed most of the last two seasons, due to working.

Tonight, we’re heading back to a time when Friday nights actually meant something.

For millions of families across America, the routine was simple: sit down, turn on ABC, and don’t move for two hours. That was the power of TGIF — one of the most iconic programming blocks in television history.

In this video, we’re not talking about the flops… we’re celebrating the very best TGIF shows of all time.

From Full House and Family Matters to Boy Meets World, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and more — we’re ranking the top 9 shows based on:

📊 Ratings & Nielsen performance

🌎 Cultural impact & legacy

📺 Network importance

⏳ Longevity & syndication success

🎬 Industry influence

This isn’t just a nostalgia list — it’s a deep dive into what made TGIF a cultural phenomenon and why it still resonates decades later.

But fair warning… this ranking might spark some debate 👀

👉 Did your favorite show make the list?
👉 Was something ranked way too high… or way too low?
👉 And what TGIF show defined YOUR Friday nights?

Drop your thoughts in the comments — we read every single one and love hearing your memories.

If you grew up with TGIF, this one’s for you.

👍 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and stick around — we’ve got plenty more deep dives into ‘90s TV, forgotten shows, and behind-the-scenes stories coming your way.

Adamantium must not have seen this poll. I am the only one who has voted for Boy Meets World so far.
