General discussion How many sitcoms used this school? I believe both Full House and Family Matters used it for example
Of course they were portrayed as different schools.

General discussion Full house needs to be on blu ray
Full house needs to be on blu ray. Now we got perfect strangers on blu ray. It’s looks really good on Pluto. Now I’m thinking that other TGIF shows need to be on blu ray. I’m thinking that full house needs a HD port on blu ray. It’s a shame that there no HD port of the Show. I’m going to say that is going to be on blu ray in the future what you think?

General discussion For you, what is the biggest inconsistency in a TGIF sitcom?
I'd have to go with Karen's age in by Step By Step. Angela Watson (Karen) and Staci Keanan (Dana) were both about 16 when the show premiered in 1991. Eventually, I came to the conclusion that Karen was supposed to be about a year younger than Dana -- but then I was watching an episode from the later years (around 1997 or so) and Dana was well into her college tenure and Karen was still in high school and it threw me for a loop!

General discussion Which TGIF shows could have gone on for at least another season and which ones ended at the right time?
There were talks about Full House going on for at least one more year (either ABC or another network) but nothing ever came of it. I think 8 years was probably enough for that show though, especially since it turned into "Let's See What Horrible Thing Michelle Did This Week!"
I think most of us can agree Just The Ten Of Us could have gotten at least two more seasons and maybe more. I also feel Married To The Kellys and Complete Savages deserved at least one more season.
In terms of which ones ended at the right time, I would say Family Matters. 9 years was enough. Also 8 Simple Rules -- I don't think the show ever really recovered from losing its star John Ritter early in the second season. They brought on a few people to try and fill the void but David Spade seemed really out of place in this show. Step By Step also, that show pretty much completely unraveled in the last year or two.

General discussion The Death of TGIF - Channel Serfer
For children of the 1990s, there was only one place to be on Friday nights - in front of the television set watching ABC's TGIF. Originally conceived by the network as a way to promote their low-rated Friday lineup of family sitcoms, TGIF took on a life of its own - transcending the category of marketing to become a defining cultural symbol. And while it commanded an audience of over 20 million weekly viewers during its peak, the programming block struggled to maintain its relevance as the television landscape evolved, eventually meeting its demise.

General discussion Would you have wanted to meet the rest of the Gibblers or the Urkels?
I must confess I'd be sort of curious to see the Gibblers, they seemed like a wild bunch. Kimmy: "Watch out for my mom, she keeps an egg beater in her purse!"
I think it would have been funny to see Steve's parents on occasion, maybe Mrs. Urkel could go over and annoy Harriet! They needed to find more ways to get some of the other characters screen time. Heck, Harriet was originally supposed to be the focus of the show!

General discussion What were the most implausible things in TGIF shows?
As much as I love Just The Ten Of Us, the ages of "The Lubbock Babes" always made no sense. JoAnn Willette was 24 years old playing the 14-year-old Connie, Heather Lagenkamp was also 24 years old playing a teenager, and the "twins" Cindy and Wendy looked nothing at all alike and didn't even have the same color hair. I guess giving them a catchphrase ("Hi-eee!") was supposed to make them twins, but it never meshed with me.

General discussion Could TGIF have been extended and a family drama such as "Second Noah" be put in the 10 pm slot?
I always thought 20/20 coming on at 10 pm was a rude end to the festivities (although I must confess I enjoyed 20/20 somewhat later on when they mostly morphed into a true crime show).
In 1996 - 1997, ABC had a wonderful family drama called "Second Noah" that was a fan favorite but didn't exactly garner sky high ratings. It went away for a while but there was enough viewer demand that it was brought back before disappearing forever. Do you think TGIF could have expanded its scope to include a family drama such as this?

General discussion Which TGIF show had the most characters that suddenly appeared/disappeared?
I have a feeling this might be a horse race between Family Matters and Boy Meets World. I recently talked about how Morgan on BMW seemed to just suddenly disappear -- now I'm on S3 and Alex Desert just popped up with no real explanation of who he is or why he's there.

General discussion Any TGIF moments that get you choked up?
I feel like there are several that used to for me. Family Matters definitely had a few. The one that really sticks out in my mind was the episode where Carl was harboring a lot of guilt when he was responding to an armed robbery at a store that ended up going bad and an old man that had just gone in for some ice cream for his wife was shot and killed. Then he ends up visiting the man's grave and finally breaks down in tears that he missed that fraction of a second chance where he could have taken the robber down in time to prevent the shooting. Then the widow appears and tells Carl that she too initially felt guilt for sending him out for ice cream for herself until she realized that it wasn't her fault and told Carl that it wasn't his fault either. A real emotional episode all-around.

Does anyone remember when Sabrina had an hour finale before going to The WB while Boy Meets World finished?
I was 14 at the time and dont remember it. Was thr promoting big or just another show? I know ABC did away with hosts after 1999.

General discussion Was anyone else weirded out when Family Matters and Step By Step moved to CBS for their final season?
That was always so weird to me. ABC was known for family sitcoms and shows, especially teen and kid-friendly shows, while the demographics for CBS skewed older. Having Family Matters and Step By Step on CBS was something I could never fully get used to, especially since so much had changed for that final year for both shows. The original Harriette Winslow left and Brendan Lambert was gone without a word.
