Yeah I keep forgetting Mr. Cooper came out earlier than BMW, as did Step by Step and the rest.

I think when Sabrina and Clueless were added, it began TGIFs decline. Sabrina was mildly entertaining for awhile but it wasn't as good as past TGIF shows and then when Family Matters and Step By Step left for CBS, that was the end of TGIF for me.

I agree, but the end of TGIF for me was when BMW went off the air

Although the new TGIF isn't that bad, I still enjoyed the old TGIF better.

They had alot of good shows after that, The problem was they didnt last.

I Think Teen Angel, You Wish, Brother's Keeper, Odd Man Out and Two Of A Kind all could have lasted longer. Especially Teen Angel and Brother's Keeper.

I Didnt care much for Clueless.

The real old TGIF back in the 70s with The Brady Bunch, Partridge Family, Nanny & the Professor, Room 222 and Love American Style. That was a night for good old family TV. That was ABC. Now the ABC TGIF lineup is outright lame.

Old TGIF definitly. I'm one of those people who remember watching those shows as a kid (a really little kid...) Every Friday me my mom and my brother would watch TGIF a lot. I remember mostly watching Full House, Step by Step, Family Matters, Boy Meets World, and Sabrina. Now, after like 6 or 7 years of not watching most of those shows then realizing they still show them on ABC Family and Nickelodeon, I've started watching them again. I was also a huge Dinosaurs fan. In fact, I found a tape of like 2 epsiodes my mom taped a long time ago.
