Ten Often Forgotten TGIF Sitcoms

TGIF is fondly remembered. But what about these shows that were also part of the famed lineup?

Omg. TGIF! It honestly was the only thing that brought our family together once a week lol. 😂 My personal favorite was "Perfect Strangers".

Honorable mention: Getting By played by Telma Hopkins the late Cindy Williams Deon Richmond aka "Kenny/BUD" & the late Merlin Santana

Cosby was and is a genius.
He's a cautionary tale to not trust lying women.

I remember watching Just the Ten of Us reruns on USA network; loved it

For some strange reason, our local affiliate pre empted Billy for reruns of Cheers

Jussie Smollett before his legal trouble

I loved "Two of a Kind" also another one that was not mentioned was "Brother's Keeper". It was about an uptight single father raising his son when his lazy, irresponsible football player brother moves in with them. Honestly it felt like the origins of "Two and a Half Men" and had the same kind of vibe.

Of those 10 shows that was listed, I knew about six out of those 10. However, only two of those six shows that I knew about I have heard of but never watched them actually.

The sucky thing about Just the Ten of Us is that it got canceled for such a dumb reason. (ABC wanted all the shows to be by one production company). It honestly was a perfect fit for TGIF.

Also, a lot of people forget Two guys, a girl, and a Pizza Place was on TGIF because it was MUCH more popular on Wednesday.

3:49- The problem with that one was they emphasized the newer muppets while the familiar ones were pretty much regulated to the background. Plus there was too much 'adult' humor for a family show.

I loved Where I Live. But couldn't remember the name. Thanks for reminding me

Jezuz is your microphone in a different room?

Last I checked, your Ryan friend was selling cheap phones. He sounds desperate lol

BRO you shoulda showcased Going Places, it had Alan Ruck and Heather Locklear, an amazing theme song, maybe the best of TGIF theme opening all time

[sejejo]

I used sit in the audience on Where I Live. I think I saw that and The Mommies that same week?? I was a weird little kid

[kristenchandler]

Somehow I remember all of these shows to varying degrees. Wasn't there another version of the Baby Talk tv series with different actors?

[jwilliams]

Honorable mention, Dot comedy, hi honey I’m home, aliens in the family, going places, getting by, odd man out, teen Angel, you wish

[AnErrorOccurred]

If I could offer three omissions from the list:

“You Wish“ and “Teen Angel“, part of the cavalcade of new shows in fall 1997 when ABC tried to revitalize TGIF by paddling Family Matters and Step by Step off to CBS. obviously not a wise move.

“Going Places“, Debuting in fall 1990, this was the show that starred and all adult cast sharing a house in Los Angeles while trying to jumpstart their Hollywood careers. Probably a move to real some of the adults set into TGIF with the later hours showing, they probably figured out it would be best to bring a couple of kids in so they brought in a character to play the side of one of the characters.

Thank you THANK YOU 🙏 for this video! I grew up watching TGIF. I started watching around 10 yo and watched them for years. TGIF was my fun nights and weekend starter. I had forgotten some shows and some i fondly remember, bringing back great memories ❤😊

I really liked a Going Places which seemed like a reboot of Bosom Buddies with Holland Taylor in the same basic role.
