Old TGIF question - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

08-26-2000, 12:31 PM

I have been trying to find out the answer to this question for months. Everyone I ask is stumped. The question is...what was the first and original line up for TGIF on ABC the first year that they started it. I was like 8 so I don't remember what they all were. If you can help please do.

hi i cant believe i remember this song. i must be so old. anyways i think that the song goes like this "Its Friday night.. and the mood is right... gonna have some fun... show you how its done... TGIF!!!! i hope i can help. by the way does anyone remember a show on fridays on abc called "Going Places" with Heather Locklear?

I was kinda young too when tgif first started. But the farthest back that I can remember is when the lineup was Full House,
Family Matters, Perfect Strangers and a fourth show that was often replaced or moved. I hope this helps.

wow, if I had a nickel every time someone has asked me this question. The original TGIF lineup in the fall of 1988 was Perfect Strangers, Full House, Mr. Belvedere, and Just the Ten of Us.

I remember Going Places! Loved that show. I believe that after it was canceled, Step by Step donned it's set.

Full House started on Fridays then moved to Tuesday's long after it should have been cancelled. However I do believe Blossom was on Monday nights after the Fresh Prince.

i don't remember family matters coming on TGIF because if my memory serves me right it came on in like the early 90's 'cuz i remember when it first aired.
