TGIF Revisited: Full House – “Honey, I Broke The House”
Well, here we are: recapping an episode of the much-beloved, much-hated show Full House. I’ve been dreading this one, since I absolutely cannot stand this show and never have been able to. Oh sure, I watched it when I was a kid but would also rage at the TV when it was on because I […]

TGIF Revisited: Dinosaurs – “A New Leaf”
As has been mentioned on this site and in many other places, the 1990s was a weird time for television. Thanks to the booming economy in America, money was shooting out of everyone’s ears and was collected off the ground to throw at ideas that could potentially make even more money. This resulted in insane […]

Perfect Strangers – “The Lottery”
Sometimes the world looks perfect, nothing to rearrange; sometimes you just get a feeling like you need some kind of change. Well, standing tall on the wings of my dreams (whatever that’s supposed to mean), Perfect Strangers became the anchor show for TGIF in 1988 in its fourth season on television, joining the insipid Full […]

14 Forgotten TGIF Shows
While in a previous series of articles/recaps I hit all the major shows that aired on TGIF (well, and Camp Wilder), there were a lot of shows that didn’t take off on the programming block. Here are the forgotten TGIF shows that ran for only one or two seasons that nobody remembers. Early Duds In […]

Best New To Streaming September 2017
Every month, streaming services add new films to their roster, but not all of them are worth watching. After all, film studios churn out a great amount of films every week, month, and year that passes, and why waste time on a movie that simply won’t entertain, engage, or else inspire you? Here at Me […]

TGIF Revisited: Conclusion (America In The 1990s)
Well that was…something. Having watched 12 different episodes from the TGIF lineup that spanned both the beginning and end of my childhood (1988-1996, or from 6 to 14 years old in my life), I can honestly say that I miss the concept of TGIF programming as a cultural institution and wish that something like it was […]

Sabrina The Teenage Witch – “Pilot”
Let’s talk about Melissa Joan Hart for a moment: after her breakthrough role as the star of Clarissa Explains It All on Nickelodeon, a show which I still have fond memories for, Hart made the logical jump to a major network show as the titular Sabrina in Sabrina the Teenage Witch in a made-for-TV movie […]

Sister, Sister – “First Dates”
Sister, Sister was a squeaky-clean family sitcom that I haven’t seen in, oh, 20 years or so; however, I’m nearing the end of this little distraction of a project and am trying to put off watching and recapping an episode of Full House as hard as I can, so let’s dive right in. For the […]

Mr. Belvedere – “Triangle”
Streaks on the china/Never mattered before/Who cares?/When you drop-kicked your jacket/As you enter the door/No one glared/But sometimes things get turned around/And no one’s spaaaared! I know the whole damn theme song of Mr. Belvedere by heart; I often sing it in a weird affected voice like Leon Redbone to the amusement/annoyance of my family […]

Camp Wilder – “Boy Loses Girl”
I don’t think I’ve ever watched one episode of the short-lived sitcom Camp Wilder before. It only aired for half a season on TGIF from September 1992 to February 1993 before being cancelled due to low ratings. Thanks to my new best friend Wikipedia, I’ve gleaned this synopsis of the premise, which I will quote […]

Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper – “Father Fairest”
In keeping with the theme of “shows I vaguely remember” in this little project of mine, Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper is one of them. It only aired on the TGIF lineup for three seasons, having been bounced up from Tuesday nights after its first season and then bounced down to Saturday nights for its fifth […]

Just the Ten of Us – “Strangers in the Night”
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen Just the Ten of Us. After reading its Wikipedia, I feel like I have but I don’t really have any memory of it. It only lasted two seasons and 47 episodes and was cancelled a month after I turned 8, so I’m reasonably sure that whatever memories I’ve […]
