Any TGIF Fans on ABC Growing Up?

Recommended Posts

An appropriate date of the week to ask this question.  As a child of the 90s Family Matters, Step by Step, and Boy Meets World were some of my favorite shows.  Probably still some of the last TV shows I looked forward to watching as they aired.

I am not lying to you when I say this.....but I was going to create a thread about TGIF with what the best line up was.

This is creepy that this thread happened.....

Brilliant minds think alike

All those family type comedies that started with Garry Marshall's 'Happy Days' and continued into the TGIF lineup all seemed to manage to lose family members, yet acquire a fringe character that was later expanded into a much bigger role.  'Happy Days': We lost Chuck Cunningham, but got Arthur Fonzarelli.  On 'Step by Step', we lost Brendan Lambert somehow, yet ended up with the idiot nephew Cody. On ''Family Matters', youngest daughter Judy Winslow was squeezed out by bigger and bigger doses of Steve Urkel.  When Urkel burned down Leroy's, he had Chachi Arcola to thank for blazing the trail.  (Pardon the pun.)

I was all set to say " meeeeeee!" thinking you were referring to The Brady Bunch, The Partridge Family, The Odd Couple and Love, American Style lineup.  I never even heard of any of those shows you listed.  ?

Ahh the old Friday Night Lineup...

 

How could you not be a fan of TGIF if you grew up back then?  That was always one of the most exciting times of the week...Feel bad for kids growing up nowadays there's nothing like that now

 

They don't need that now, they have their phones :(

Now you’re talkin’!  The Odd Couple and Love, American Style were shows I looked forward to. The Brady Bunch and The Partridge Family, not so much. 

 

My kids watched the shows mentioned by the OP.

My son didn't watch them either. Not sure if we (he) missed out or not.

It was either for more urkel or for more of the young Nephew as he kind of took over the "cute young kid" character on the show that all those sitcoms had to have....

I don't think they lost a character at the time, but The Brady Bunch at the end also brought on the cousin. Seemed like as the family sitcoms get older, they always try to bring in a new character to take a lead.

 

I'm trying to remember what the original TGIF lineup would have been

I remember Full House, but there was also the show with Jason Batemen I believe. Was Perfect Strangers also part of TGIF?
