On September 22, 1989 ABC became the first network to brand a programming block when it rolled out 4 family-friendly comedies in one 2 hour block called TGIF (NBC’s Must See TV didn’t debut until 1993).
TGIF (Thank Goodness It’s Funny) set the standard for Friday night entertainment from the late 80s through the 90s. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of its debut, we’re going back to the very thing that essentially launched UnderScoopFire, the Sitcom Fantasy Draft. This time, only characters from TGIF shows were available to draft.
In this episode, Corey, Tank and Howie are joined by Auxiliary Lion eclectik as we spend 5 rounds assembling our own fully original TGIF-style sitcoms by choosing characters from the era. Mr. Serious provides Mel Kiper-esque draft coverage and pick-by-pick analysis as each “showrunner” competes to create a new Nielsen ratings darling.
LISTEN NOW to see who was selected in the first round, which MAJOR characters were snubbed, which SURPRISING show had the most characters selected and why Coach Lubbock will be the one begging Uncle Jesse to “HAVE MERCY”!
