TGIF on ABC
ABC created a programming block in 1989 for their Friday night lineup that was called TGIF (Thank God It's Funny). It all started with Full House, Family Matters, Perfect Strangers, and Just The Ten of Us. Over the years, ABC started putting their best shows on Friday night, and the family-friendly TGIF lineup started adding even bigger shows like Step by Step, Dinosaurs, Boy Meets World, Hangin with Mr. Cooper, and Sabrina the Teenage Witch. For the first time, ABC turned Friday nights into a time for people to stay home and watch sitcoms instead of going out. They owned Friday nights, and now you have a chance to show off your 90s TGIF knowledge.
