(Of the four sitcoms paired with Last Man Standing on Fridays, Dr. Ken was the only series that returned for an additional season, getting a second season renewal for the 2016–17 season. However, ratings began declining during the latter half of the decade due partly to Fridays becoming more common for social outings among segments of the block's key demographic as well as the loss and aging quality of many of the lineup's signature shows, culminating in the original incarnation ending after eleven years on September 8, 2000.[1][2].

In the late '90s, ABC's bigwigs did what a lot of viewers had already done with TGIF: they grew out of it. In recent years, Friday nights on ABC have been primarily used to air reality programs (such as Shark Tank), occasional encores of the network's dramas and comedies, and ABC News human interest programming (such as Primetime: What Would You Do?). Cast members from all three of the live-action shows hosted I Love Saturday Night in rotation during the five-week run: † Capital Critters and Perfect Strangers did not air on this night, although Pinchot and Linn-Baker did host.

Instead, stars performed voiceovers for "TGIF Trivia", game-like segments made up of episode scenes and multiple-choice questions. After experiencing mediocre ratings on Fridays, ABC made several programming moves that resulted in the discontinuance of its Friday drama block after one season. The block of predominantly family-friendly situation comedies was inaugurated in the 1988–89 season with three series that were already part of the Friday lineup (Perfect Strangers, Full House and Mr. Belvedere) and a sophomore series new to that night, Just the Ten of Us (a spinoff of Growing Pains, which originally aired on Tuesdays for its abbreviated first season in the spring of 1988). The initial lineup for the revived TGIF featured returning comedies George Lopez and Life with Bonnie, and freshmen series Married to the Kellys and Hope & Faith (the latter serving as a starring vehicle for Kelly Ripa). Maybe it was because viewers were flummoxed by the sight of two Olsens at the same time, or that the sweet and cute baby from Full House was now concerned with teen issues instead of saying "you got it, dude!" (You just can't beat JAG!) One such animation involved the taller mouse holding what looked like a parade float likeness of himself, as it flies out of control and he flies around with it. For its season premiere, the child cast from Fresh of the Boat and Speechless hosted the lineup: the segments were in the middle of the shows, including the outro. These were the twins who'd played baby Michelle on Full House, except now they were tweens and could talk, and both now appeared on-screen at the same time. The show aired from September 25, 1998 to July 9, 1999. On September 21, 1990, the animated mice opening and accompanying theme music were dropped from the Friday block, in favor of a new graphics package that officially incorporated the new TGIF name for the first time.

These shows aired their one-hour finales on Saturday, April 25, 1992, along with the series finale of MacGyver, which aired on this night for one week only. Official Partner. This vision may have had something to do with the hiring of new ABC president of entertainment Jamie Tarses, who jumped to the alphabet network from NBC after developing cool young adult comedies there, like the mega-hit Friends. The failure of these programs, along with ABC's decision to not renew Billy for a second season and the announcement that Perfect Strangers was going on a long hiatus, marked the end of any attempt by ABC to program comedies or family fare on that night. As a result of ABC and Jim Janicek's plan for Friday brand familiarity, definitive changes occurred to the lineup on Friday, September 22, 1989. [6] Prior to the official launch of the block, Janicek was employed as a writer and producer for ABC Entertainment, who was in charge of promoting the network's Tuesday- and Friday-night comedy lineups.

ABC paid homage to the TGIF phrase and branding when it began marketing its Thursday night lineup for the 2014–15 season, consisting entirely of dramas created by Shonda Rhimes (Grey's Anatomy, Scandal and freshman drama How to Get Away with Murder), as "TGIT" (Thank God It's Thursday); other than the similarity in name and both airing on the same network, the two blocks are in no way related, and due to their completely divergent parental ratings, meant for different audiences.

However, ratings began declining during the latter half of the decade due partly to … Beyond the quick demise of I Love Saturday Night, the same lineup, more or less, continued on ABC for the remainder of the 1991–92 season. Problem with that shrewd move: those adults either had stuff to do on Fridays now or were watching other stuff on Fridays, because the new TGIF wasn't at all the cultural phenomenon its predecessor was. The problem was that these shows were not endearing as so many successful TGIF shows had been for years, and failed with the critics and audiences, even with the return of Maureen McCormick (formerly Marcia Brady) and the addition of established sitcom star Jerry Van Dyke (who, unusually, had supporting roles on both new shows) to ABC Friday nights. Always in character, they would introduce each show and comment on the proceedings afterward. As a result of the overhaul to a new audience, longtime TGIF staples Family Matters and Step by Step – both of which had been experiencing steadily declining ratings for the past few seasons, with the latter having its sixth season delayed until the spring of 1997 to accommodate freshman sitcom Clueless (based on and created by the writer/director of the 1995 film of the same name) on the block's 1996–97 lineup – were cancelled. The Terrific Tuesday branding was a success, and ABC urged Janicek to continue the banner name for the following season. The block initially premiered on September 22, 1989, marking one of the first attempts by a major network to brand a programming block (a concept that was concurrently becoming popular among cable networks at the time of its inception), with the goal of encouraging young viewers to watch the entire lineup, instead of just a particular show.

Two of a Kind ( 1951) Two of a Kind. Save for a two-week run of Hiller and Diller, ABC simply aired repeats of Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Boy Meets World for the rest of that season (at 8:00pm and 9:30pm respectively, before their new episodes). Seriously, only a true TV buff will remember late-stage TGIF misses like You Wish (about a cool genie), Teen Angel (about a cool teen who was also a cool angel) Brother's Keeper (starring cool teen dream Joey Lawrence and his smaller, less cool clone-brothers), and Hiller and Diller, (about two uncool middle-aged TV sitcom writers). Two of a Kind For twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, the statute of limitations on cloying cuteness is nowhere near expiration, as the pilot to this formulaic new TGIF sitcom proves over and over.

For the 2005–06 season, Hope & Faith continued to air on Friday nights (before moving to Tuesdays, where it ended its run after three seasons amid low ratings opposite Fox powerhouse American Idol), while Less Than Perfect was renewed as a midseason replacement (returning in April 2006, joining Hope & Faith on Tuesdays, where it met the same fate).

Since the 1987–88 season, Perfect Strangers stars Mark Linn-Baker and Bronson Pinchot (in character as Larry Appleton and Balki Bartokomous, respectively) had been doing hosted interstitials that were conducted from the Perfect Strangers set, originally airing during the two-hour Wednesday sitcom block that their series was part of as that season began.
