Who misses the wonderful TGIF ABC Lineup from 1986-1999? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I always looked forward to seeing the ABC Friday night lineup during the 1990's-Family Matters, Step by Step, Boy Meets World,. Now on Friday nights there are no sitcoms at all. I guess it was a 90's thing. i guess this is the decade for ABC to air America's funniest home videos._LOL

Yeah i remember that friday night ABC lineup, that was from the 88-89 TV season.

Sitcomwriter · 04-25-2003, 10:09 PM

I consider the WB Friday night lineup to be the "New TGIF".

Family Matters didn;t come on Friday during the 97-98 TV season? I didn't know that.

It's moved to CBS during that last season where they replaced Harriet with that other woman. I always hated the 2nd Harriet. She just was't convincing enough and it felt like Carl left Harriet for another woman of the same name.

That's right-I forgot the show went to CBS in 1998

Sal · 04-25-2003, 10:51 PM

I don't miss it one bit. Those shows all sucked badly!

Except Sabrina.

SBTB Geek · 04-26-2003, 01:18 AM

LOL... I still miss TGIF. I know The WB's Friday is supposed to be very similar, but it doesn't feel the same way. I remember my whole family bunching up in the couch laughing together as we watched ALL those shows. Mr. Belvedere, Full House, Boy Meets World, Hanging W/ Mr. Cooper, and Step By Step were our favorites.

ABC should re-create TGIF with a revamped version of "Lizzie McGuire" leading it.

I miss that show, but in ways it reminded me of The Ghost & Mrs. Muir.

The funny thing was around 7;58pm I all of a sudden started saying to myself this used to be my time that i turned to ABC and realized those dys are long gone. So i tried turning to ABC anyway only to see America's funniest home videos.LOL

mstewart · 04-26-2003, 09:38 AM

I don't. The true TGIF ABC lineup was in the early 70s that consist of:

The Brady Bunch
The Partridge Family
Nanny and the Professor
Room 222
Love American Style

That was a TGIF lineup that was off the hook and something to look forward to after a long week. I was in fourth and fifth grade at the time these shows were on its original run on Fridays. I still today have a very clear memory of these shows.

I never saw Room 222 but i think it started in 1969-i don't know how long it lasted. I would like to see it one day.

BLT · 04-26-2003, 10:32 AM

I always thought ABC didn't start calling their friday lineup TGIF until 1989 when Mr. Belvedere moved to Saturdays. I really liked Mr. Belvedere, Perfect Strangers & the early Family Matters--but that's about all.
