ABC has attempted a couple times to bring back TGIF with New TGIF. My thought is they need to just should have it as a Retro block.

Of course, it should be a great idea because It should bring back memories of what TGIF block was interesting during its both heyday and peak.

ABC gave up on Fridays when they made 20/20 permanently 2 hours every week.

20/20 Should move to the ABC 24 Hour news channel.

Whenever a channel brings back old programming, it tends to do poorly in the ratings. :(

It would be hard to bump off Shark Tank. Many of the original TGIF shows could easily run on Saturday mornings. Most of Saturday morning programing morphed from cartoon to kid/teen based sitcoms before E/I and local news took over.

They can move Shark Tank to 10:00pm. Moving 20/20 to a different nigh or Have there 24 hour ABC News Channel air 20/20.

That doesn't help the idea of reviving TGIF.

I recently stumbled upon this podcast called Acid Washed Memories that has an episode (https://awmpodcast.podbean.com/e/78-tgif-on-abc/) discussing the history of ABC's TGIF.
