  TGIF - Muppet Wiki - a Wikia wiki
TGIF - Muppet Wiki - a Wikia wiki
TGIF was a two-hour block of sitcoms shown Friday nights on ABC.
The Henson shows Dinosaurs, Muppets Tonight, and Aliens in the Family were all shown on TGIF at some point (Dinosaurs during the shows first and third seasons, Muppets Tonight during the first ten episodes, and Aliens in the Family for the first two episodes).

  TGIF
TGIF is the abbreviation for the phrase Thank Goodness (or God) It's Friday.
Eventually, the programming block became a dumping ground for shows that ABC no longer wished to run during other time slots, including The Hughleys and Sister, Sister (both of which later found homes on other networks).
By 2000, ABC had canned the programming block entirely, only to return it to the air by Fall 2003.

 ABC Bartending School South Beach
ABC is the largest privately owned bartending school system in the United States.
Look around at the number of liquor serving establishments in your city and the number of Bartenders, both Full and Part Time, that it takes to staff these operations.
Thousands of students are trained and placed every year nationwide by ABC in our professional one week, two week and three week programs that cover all the techniques used to become a professional bartender.

I watched TGIF every week from the time it got started to the time when they changed the lineup from my favorite shows.
Dinosaurs was on TGIF in the early 90's after Full House went to Tuesday nights around 92 or 93 Dinosaurs came on first.

ABC commanded little affiliate loyalty, though unlike fellow startup network DuMont, it at least had a radio network on which to draw loyalty and revenue.
ABC and ITT agreed to a merger in late 1965, but this deal was derailed by FCC and Department of Justice questions about ITT's foreign ownership influencing ABC's autonomy and journalistic integrity.

 TeeVee.org: What I Like About What I Like About You   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Every TGIF show was painfully contrived, saccharine enough to wipe out whole species of lab rats, and filled with jokes so stupid and condescending that they seemed to have been copied verbatim from Laffy Taffy wrappers.
TGIF always seemed to be laboring under the misconception that the teenagers in its audience had the intellectual capacity of mildly retarded second graders.
TGIF, on the other hand, was apparently set in some bizarre alternate dimension, where fat, bald gym teachers get hot lovin' often enough to produce eight offspring, nerdy fl kids build evil puppet versions of themselves in their basements, and as many as two adults and three children love Bob Saget.

ABC minted millions with its TGIF family-friendly programming block, then dropped it like a hot potato two years ago in search of more profitable adult viewers.
Now ABC — reeling from a 23% ratings slide this season — is looking to reclaim its Friday mantle.

 Observer Newspaper - Scene
Surprisingly, ABC's most interesting hook this season is its influx of stars making the leap from the silver screen to the TV screen.
Also making his television debut on ABC this fall is actor Charlie Sheen, who replaced Michael J. Fox on the half-hour sitcom "Spin City." After Fox's emotional last episode in the spring season finale, the actor has remained with the project, working behind the scenes as executive producer of the show.
While ABC promises that the hour-long police drama will return this January for its eighth season, it's clear that the network's overall ratings have felt its absence since the new season opened.

 'Sabrina' moves to WB, leaving gap in ABC's 'TGIF'
ABC has reportedly been reevaluating its Friday evening programming strategy for some time now as its lead on the night has steadily diminished.
"TGIF," once a dominant force among kids and teens on Fridays, has been struggling for the past few years, thanks in part to expanded kids’ offerings on cable.
Though a viewership of 10 million may be a disappointment for ABC, it’s an unqualified hit as far as the younger network is concerned.

 ABC: 'Millionaire' will bury you all come this fall
ABC is presenting its fall primetime schedule to advertisers today, and the message is: You haven't seen anything yet.
The game show is responsible for turning ABC into the No. 1 network, pulling it up from last year’s third place, and is even credited with slowing cable’s erosion of network TV viewing.
ABC has used "Millionaire" strategically to pump up ratings, particularly during sweep periods.

 Fall TV Preview: Who I Would Sleep with on ABC
Even though ABC execs are attempting to rid their fall schedule of bad reality shows, we still have to suffer through another season of “Extreme Makeover," a show that shamelessly preys upon fat, ugly, and otherwise gross chicks and their futile pursuits at physical perfection via plastic surgery.
For the last two years the only reason I watched ABC at all was to watch bachelors like Alex cavort in their Tommy Hilfiger swim trunks with desperately needy women in ridiculously exotic locations they could never otherwise afford to travel to.
An unfortunate offshoot of ABC’s "The Bachelorette" is the country’s lingering fascination with that annoying bitch, Trista Rehn and her fiancé Ryan Sutter (dumber than a box of rocks but hot as hell).

 ABC shakes up fall lineup; WB retooling sitcoms
The Friday night TGIF lineup has been bulldozed to make room for sitcoms aimed at young male viewers.
Although it looked like a goner when ABC yanked the acclaimed dramedy from its schedule in April, the return of "Sports Night" for its last two episodes during May sweeps indicated the network was having second thoughts.
In addition to the previously-announced pick-up of ABC's "Sabrina, The Teenage Witch," The WB also acquired "The PJs" from Fox, which will kick off a revamped Sunday night lineup.

The series is currently syndicated weekday afternoons on ABC Family Channel and late nights/early mornings on the Disney Channel.

ABC Family was the first network since ABC to show all the accurate introductions for all seven seasons.

 Boy Meets World
ABC's Friday night of comedies was missed for a long time, and people were wondering where it was.
According to ABC executives, the old T.G.I.F. was "destination television" and that was something that was not working.
The set was then used for the ABC show, "According to Jim," which first premiered in the fall of 2001, and by watching that show, it can clearly be seen that it looks very similar.

Ok, ABC was supposed to show the Olsen Twins during the TGIF programming on June 4th, but they didn't.
It's renewal season and ABC is still deciding whether to keep "Two of a Kind" because of it's falling ratings.
ABC also has other worries, because "Two of a Kind" is produced by Warner Bros. Television, whose sister network, the WB, is expected to expand to Friday nights next season and would no doubt love having the show if ABC drops it.

 ABC's TGIF 'Wrap Party' Chat Generates AOL's Largest Chat Audience Ever
The chat grew by more than 100 persons each second (on average) and peaked at 10:00pm ET when traffic in the chat room jumped from 5,000 to a high of 20,000 people in three minutes.
ABC promoted the "TGIF Wrap Party" chat to the mainly teen audience during commercial breaks throughout the evening's TGIF program line-up, indicating that the audience complemented television viewing with interactive chat and online activities.
ABC sponsored chats on AOL are produced by ABC.com, the interactive entertainment web site for the ABC Television Network with content from every daypart, including Prime Time, Soaps, Talk, TGIF and One Saturday Morning children's programming, and entertainment specials.

 Zap2it - TV features - ABC Fall Schedule 2003-04
Pleased with the progress it made during the 2002-03 season, the alphabet network is now on a mission to keep on trucking out of ratings disgrace.
ABC has also decided to movie the Wonderful World of Disney from Sunday nights to Saturdays and to make Monday night's their movie night when it's not football season.
This could be the best of ABC's fall dramas, provided it keeps the darkly comic tone of the Elmore Leonard novel on which it's based.

 What Happened To Friday Night Sitcoms?
ABC launched its fall Friday night line-up and it was the beginning of a long and humorous era of good clean family fun.
“TGIF” on ABC fizzled out towards the late 90s and was barely around by the turn of the century.
In addition to ‘Ghost Whisperer’, ABC has two new one-hour comedies premiering and Fox is offering two hours of family-reality shows (the kind where lessons are learned by people airing their dirty laundry on national television).

 Crossover: "Clueless" and "Moesha"
ABC's Friday TGIF lineup has much to answer for.
Another thing TGIF has to answer for is the spread of family friendly sitcom blocks.
Except that for some odd reason once ABC had such success with their Friday night block of shows it seemed like every network had to have their own family/teen block.
