TGIF to return?
Growing up, Friday night at Li’l Logan’s house was all about pizza, pajamas, and ABC’s TGIF. Sure, there was a period when I dumped it for FOX’s The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr., but when that show died off in 1994, TGIF was still there for me. A lot of shows came and went (I still have a soft spot in my heart for Baby Talk and Teen Angel), but the standards (I’m thinking Family Matters, Boys Meets World, Step by Step, Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper, Perfect Strangers, Dinosaurs), were pitch perfect family programing that prepared me for the weekend the same way FOX’s Sunday night of The Simpsons and Married with Children prepared me for the week.
And now there’s talk of bringing it all back. Which is expected. You may have heard that Nickelodeon is brining back most of their 90’s shows, which is mighty fine by me. I’m sure if all of this works out, ABC won’t be bringing back their old shows, but let’s hope they deliver a few shows in the same mold that made my generation love Friday nights.
