We're not a professional athlete, but you had like a
like a pro athlete surgery and that surgery but a procedure.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
I got knocked out and got a bunch of needles
in my neck.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Good times. Wow, But you're still here, you know.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
It's the thing is, I've been so excited to talk
about fashion, yes, and I wasn't going to miss that topic.
So I had to find a way to get myself here.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
No one problem. Okay, fashion is not gonna happen. What
I know you're tuning in right now. Fashion it is
going to happen next time I post next episode. Next
episode eleven will be Fashion of the Year two thousand. Great.
But this this episode, along with myself, Brady Broski and
devious Dan Ginsberg, it is all about TG if he
(02:13):
did not not fried green beans? And the answer is no, Actually,
surprisingly that is not one of the chain restaurants. I
was not employed Apple. I was apple Bee's and Chili's
cheated on Applebe's one summer. I was a chili They
called us chili heads, so it was a chili head
and I was an Apple buddy. I never was a
(02:34):
Friday or I don't know what they call themselves. But no,
we're not talking about the restaurant great place for like
a tropical drink though back in the day we have
a fake id hypothetically speaking, But no, we're talking about
the run on ABC television in the entire decade of
the nineties. Really TGIF. It was a part of my
(02:55):
childhood growing up in the nineties, turning on TV on
a Friday night. If you if you weren't at the
mall or the movies or Blockbuster playing video games, you
were sitting down, you were probably watching tg IF. It
was really a family friendly block It was the.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Family NBC must see TV Thursday did then you had
which was a little more adult oriented, and then you
had tg IF Family Friendly Friday on ABC.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I fell into the rabbit hole of TGIF and found this.
This is one of my.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Favorite things Friday Night and the movie is Wow.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Come on going to have some fun, show you how
it's done. TG. That's the first. That was the first intro. Okay,
how many do you remember that? Definitely? R did that
come back when you had that? Yeah, there are a few.
There were a few. Again, this this falling, uh, you know,
falling into the rabbit hole of TGIF. If you look
(03:49):
at my YouTube history, it's it's disturbing. But anyways, yeah,
TG IF. If you're around in the nineties and two thousands,
you know this is just like must watch TV for
kind of for kids and teenagers. Really, that's really how
it started. It was a family oriented block for TV
shows for sitcoms, Family sitcoms that started starting nineteen eighty nine.
The original lineup was Full House, Family Matters, Perfect Strangers,
(04:15):
Just the Ten of Us and don't remember that one
I saw.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I did my research and I was like, what the
hell is just the Ten of Us?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Just the Ten of Us was great. It was a
spinoff of Growing Pains. Do you remember Growing Cars? Yeah,
Leo DiCaprio came from Growing Pains. Yeah, it was a spinoff.
The basketball coach, Mikey Severs basketball coach, moved across the
country with his eight kids, okay, and it's just the
ten of us. Yeah right, and it just fit that
formulaic Like in the early nineties, sitcom didn't last long,
(04:45):
No I can and it was in the ninth it
was in the nine thirty, so it didn't last more
than a year. It would look like really I thought
it was more than that. But so that was the original.
So the question we're we're asking today on this episode
of the Brady One More Time podcast is what is
the best TGIF lineup? And you've got like twelve years
of shoes from really and every year was every year
was a different by it just about it just about
(05:08):
there'd be various versions. You had really iconic sitcoms jumping
in and out of here, Step by Step, Boy Meets
World was probably the most popular. I would say, I'm
out of all the TV shows, Sabrina the Teenage Witch,
of course, Full House and Family Matters. So I guess
we'll just kick it to you, Dan.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Well here, let me put you on the spot first.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Yes, this is you.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
This is your expert territory, right, it really is. You
know how many shows were a part of TJ at
any point.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Don't I don't are you talking because there was there
was two runs. There was the nineties run, it went
away and it came back in the early two thousand.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
We're talking just nine original run eighty nine to two thousand.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Okay, I'm gonna get if I were to guess, I
don't know the answer. I'm gonna say twelve there were
You have named six so far.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Holy cow, if I were to put sixty seconds on
the clock, how many of those twenty.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Nine do you think you could twelve? Yeah, I mean,
I mean, twell, it's pretty impressive.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
It's bet a hell of a lot better than I
could have done prior to looking at this.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Yeah, that nine thirty slot. And I'm talking, by the
way i'm talking, we're talking East Coast because we both
grew up in the East Coast time in central time
to be different. But yep, the last ninety four slot
was really kind of it kind of changed similar to
the NBC must.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
You know, you always had your friends and your Seinfeld
and you're mad about you on the early half of
the decade, and then you got the random shows that
maybe one out of ten of them survived a season.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Yeah, well, I've got my pick, I've got my year
I've got my four my favorite lineup of TGIF. And
you said you weren't, so you weren't really into the
block you were into tag I was.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I was just this is where our slight age difference.
It's just the memory I think is more like quintessential
to your upbringing. Then it's a little fuzzy for me. Okay,
like some of these shows, I mean one in particular, well,
a couple.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
In particular I remember really well, but.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Just some of it, like the names ring a bell.
But some of the shows, it's just, you know, I
just have like fond but vague memories of being a kid.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
I thought, well, what's funny is my brother and sister
are a lot younger than both of us, and maybe
I just forced them to watch. But but they know
they are. They're all about the TGIF. I guess it was.
I guess it just depends what you were doing with
your life, what your parents made you do on a
Friday night. That's fair, right, You're probably like doing things
that were a little more productive than watching TV.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
I don't know, like that, what the hell that I
have been doing at age sure eight or nine on
a Friday night?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Video games is the only other obvious.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
All right, I don't think that was more wholesome. Oh,
let's hear what's your uh, what's your favorite? Oh here's
my problem? Yeah, okay, favorite show out of all.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Apparently twenty nine. That, yeah, had to be full House.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yeah, I mean, come on, the best, best characters, best
best at like so many memorable episodes. Yeah, yeah, at
which I did not realize was it was at the
beginning of the tgif runt. That's that was the anchor
the eight o'clock show.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Nine. I think what happened full House got so popular
and the radis grew. It moved on of Friday nights
because Friday nights weren't really that wasn't really a big
race night.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
No, that's true.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
So they probably took full House like, oh we're honestly, yeah,
we got to throw you on a better night, Tuesday
or Wednesdays. Yeah. So yeah, there's only one season a
full House at least at least it looks like two. Yeah,
the eighty nine nine.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
But that's probably not your favorite, right, So here's my
problem is that's like, when I went into this, I'm like,
it's gotta be a year that had full House in
the lineup, and then I look at it and I'm
realizing my again, the fuzzy memory of being I mean,
I was seven.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
In nineteen eighty nine.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
I clumped all these shows together when they were really
never a part of the same TGAF lineup. So the
problem is, I think you can't go the overall lineup.
I've gotta go it largely stuck together ninety four. In
ninety four ninety five, you had Family Matters as the anchor.
You had Boy Meets World, which would have to be
(09:11):
my second slot behind Full House overall.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Before you go any further unpopular opinion, Oh oh, this
is going to ruin any opportunity to have to Penga
on the show.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Oh don't say it, my childhood celebrity crush.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
What are you gonna say about her? Boy Meets World?
Few created? Boy Meets World was overrated? Oh feel freedom.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I feel like that was where I first like learned
about love into panga.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yeah yeah, I mean that was when I was more
Zach and Kelly.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Yeah, which is a couple of years, but that's it's
probably the age difference because I was like, that was
when I was first starting to have like real crushes
and like having these fantastical ideas in my head of
like dating a girl and like you strived to be them.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
It's fair and trust me, I'm going to get murdered
about Boy Matte World about my opinion. Yeah, that is.
That is an unpopular opinion. It's probably the most popular
of the entire ten years was Boys Boy. I actually
remember in college freshman year there were people mainly girls
in the dorms that would stay in on Friday nights
to watch The Boy Meets World.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Yeah in college, yeah, that's the thing, is like a
younger targeted show. But then it had like it became
like the trendy cool thing for older kids too.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
So you're going Family Matter. You got Family Matter.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Boy Meets World step by step was the nine o'clock Eastern,
and then you had Hanging with Mister Cooper at nine thirty.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
So you're going, you're going with the nineteen ninety three
lineup of TGIF Family.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I am That lineup evidently lasted two years. They played
around with some other stuff at ninth or Sister Sister
on our own.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
I don't know if you remember either of those. I'm
sister sister. Of course, Sister Sister had they have their
own stand when you take when you want to take
a picture, you do the sister sisters stare back to back,
arms folded.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
You didn't know, we'll recreate that after the show.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
No, I did not know that is going. That is
definitely going on Instagram. That was a two year lineup.
I mean, I do.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
You've got three legendary shows in.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
There, What Family, Manners, Boy Meets World, and step by Step. Yeah, hang.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Show too.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
It was great. Yeah, basketball coach lived in a house.
I forget. There's some sexual tension there between him and
whoever else was living there. Yeah, I think that was
the premise. Really, there's kids, there's kids? Is there is
there a member of or did en Vogue maybe sing
the theme song? I bet you we'll have to fact
check that. I think end Vogue, which made me like
(11:44):
it because that was pack It was not a thing anymore.
I don't know if you heard. Oh that's right, got canceled.
Now we're getting news topical now, all right, Okay, that
is a That is a great lineup nineteen ninety.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
It's tough to top that line up.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah, what you want it is? It is so great that,
in fact I have the same exact lineup when I
was this will never happen in any other episode. No,
what are the chances? Now? Here's the thing. Earlier I
mentioned that I thought Boy Meets World was overrated, but
here I am putting Boy Meets World. I have to
(12:19):
respect it. Plus that nineteen ninety three Boy Meets worlds
season was the was the first season, and I actually
did enjoy Boy Meets World early on.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Okay, and then jumped the shark.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I just outgrew it. I think I outgrew it. I
think I outgrew TGI. Maybe maybe it outgrew you. That's
deep therapy here Brady one more Time podcast. So yeah,
to reiterate Family Matters has got to be on there.
I think that's the mount rushmore of of stjif uh
step by Step is severely I cannot put u a
(12:52):
t j F lineup without Step by Step. That is
severely an underrated sitcom. I would agree with that it's
so good.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Yeah, it's because it was always the bride'smaid, never the bride.
Like if you look at all those lineups, it was
always being upstaged in popularity by a Family Matters or
Boy Means So Funny.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
We picked the same for I think I think that
it's hard to argue. I mean, you had some Sabrina
the Teenage Witch later in the decade dinosaurs.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I was gonna say, honorable mention ninety six, you had
family Matters, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Clueless, the TV series.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
This World was the nine thirty.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Okay that I mean, yeah, it's an honorable mention, but
you can't put it above nineteen ninety thirty?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Did did you mess with dinosaurs? How do? Dude?
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I don't remember the mom tell me about what is dinosaurs?
I saw it there and I would and had a
pretty long run. I have zero recollection of dinosaurs.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Get what we're taking edibles to do so far, But
add this to the lest dinosaurs, it's like a it's
not claimation, it's live action, but they're in dinosaur costs, okay,
and they're just like, it's pretend the Simpsons are dinosaurs, essentially,
because you got the one Brady kid he hit the
dad in the head with the pan. But it's not
a cartoon. It's not a cartoon. It was live action.
(14:08):
It was really really obvious that that they were in costumes,
and I think that was part of the fun of it,
because so it was like almost so bad it was good.
We need to that is I watch this? How do
you not remember dinosaurs? Everything was dinosaurs back then too.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
That is wild and that was so that was ninety
That was early ninety one, ninety two, the huge You
had a dinosaur show right right after Step by.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Step what I know, it didn't really match, it didn't
I mean, but it was great. Huh. Dinosaurs has like
a a pretty underground I would say cult following. If
you go backsh it's got a it's got to spark
something if you if you watch the episode, there's the
one teenage kid. He was pretty cool. He always got
in trouble. I'm surprised you don't remembering.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Teenage dinosaur kid. Or were there humans and dinosaurs co
existing on this show?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
No? Humans, uh uh no, nowhere to be found. By
the way, the best part of TGI in these these
sitcoms was Miller Boyette Productions always had the same singer
for the theme songs. You notice that, like the Step by Step,
Full House Family Matters, they all had the same guy singing.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Huh, yeah, I missed theme songs. They not a thing
anymorey not a thing anymore. Speaking of theme songs, in
Vogue did perform the theme song for Hanging with Mister
Cooper along with Holly Robinson, Pete and Don.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Lewis, members of uh in Vogue, they're members of it.
No there you go. Yeah, oh I I did enjoy.
And that was like right when like my Lovin never
gonna get it was out and You're never gonna get
it this time. Oh, we can't say, that's the most
we can go. Worst thing about the TGIF lineup is
(15:46):
right after it was like Unsolved Mysteries, yeah, or like
twenty twenty twenty, I think, Yeah, it got really depressing. Yeah,
like we're just watching Hanging with Mister Cooper.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Well, and what's weird is that's on a Friday night,
Like that would make sense on a week night because
the kids are going to go to bed and.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
That's for the grown ups. But it's quite a transition
from those which and her Tomfoolery right into who murdered
Little Little Annie down the road? It was dark, dark,
real quick with Barbara Walters. Yep, that was the worst part.
So how did we do that? Is a question? Is
(16:22):
I think I think people are going to mostly agree
that I don't know. You can't.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
You can't top that ninety three lineup. There's no way
which lineup? What do we miss?
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Uh? What episodes would you pick? What was what was
your peak tgi F lineup? We'll discuss this more on Instagram,
which you can follow along. I am at Brady Radio

I mean, twell, it's pretty impressive.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
It's bet a hell of a lot better than I
could have done prior to looking at this.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Yeah, that nine thirty slot. And I'm talking, by the
way i'm talking, we're talking East Coast because we both
grew up in the East Coast time in central time
to be different. But yep, the last ninety four slot
was really kind of it kind of changed similar to
the NBC must.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
You know, you always had your friends and your Seinfeld
and you're mad about you on the early half of
the decade, and then you got the random shows that
maybe one out of ten of them survived a season.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Yeah, well, I've got my pick, I've got my year
I've got my four my favorite lineup of TGIF. And
you said you weren't, so you weren't really into the
block you were into tag I was.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I was just this is where our slight age difference.
It's just the memory I think is more like quintessential
to your upbringing. Then it's a little fuzzy for me. Okay,
like some of these shows, I mean one in particular, well,
a couple.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
In particular I remember really well, but.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Just some of it, like the names ring a bell.
But some of the shows, it's just, you know, I
just have like fond but vague memories of being a kid.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
I thought, well, what's funny is my brother and sister
are a lot younger than both of us, and maybe
I just forced them to watch. But but they know
they are. They're all about the TGIF. I guess it was.
I guess it just depends what you were doing with
your life, what your parents made you do on a
Friday night. That's fair, right, You're probably like doing things
that were a little more productive than watching TV.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
I don't know, like that, what the hell that I
have been doing at age sure eight or nine on
a Friday night?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Video games is the only other obvious.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
All right, I don't think that was more wholesome. Oh,
let's hear what's your uh, what's your favorite? Oh here's
my problem? Yeah, okay, favorite show out of all.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Apparently twenty nine. That, yeah, had to be full House.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yeah, I mean, come on, the best, best characters, best
best at like so many memorable episodes. Yeah, yeah, at
which I did not realize was it was at the
beginning of the tgif runt. That's that was the anchor
the eight o'clock show.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Nine. I think what happened full House got so popular
and the radis grew. It moved on of Friday nights
because Friday nights weren't really that wasn't really a big
race night.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
No, that's true.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
So they probably took full House like, oh we're honestly, yeah,
we got to throw you on a better night, Tuesday
or Wednesdays. Yeah. So yeah, there's only one season a
full House at least at least it looks like two. Yeah,
the eighty nine nine.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
But that's probably not your favorite, right, So here's my
problem is that's like, when I went into this, I'm like,
it's gotta be a year that had full House in
the lineup, and then I look at it and I'm
realizing my again, the fuzzy memory of being I mean,
I was seven.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
In nineteen eighty nine.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
I clumped all these shows together when they were really
never a part of the same TGAF lineup. So the
problem is, I think you can't go the overall lineup.
I've gotta go it largely stuck together ninety four. In
ninety four ninety five, you had Family Matters as the anchor.
You had Boy Meets World, which would have to be
(09:11):
my second slot behind Full House overall.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Before you go any further unpopular opinion, Oh oh, this
is going to ruin any opportunity to have to Penga
on the show.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Oh don't say it, my childhood celebrity crush.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
What are you gonna say about her? Boy Meets World?
Few created? Boy Meets World was overrated? Oh feel freedom.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I feel like that was where I first like learned
about love into panga.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yeah yeah, I mean that was when I was more
Zach and Kelly.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Yeah, which is a couple of years, but that's it's
probably the age difference because I was like, that was
when I was first starting to have like real crushes
and like having these fantastical ideas in my head of
like dating a girl and like you strived to be them.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
It's fair and trust me, I'm going to get murdered
about Boy Matte World about my opinion. Yeah, that is.
That is an unpopular opinion. It's probably the most popular
of the entire ten years was Boys Boy. I actually
remember in college freshman year there were people mainly girls
in the dorms that would stay in on Friday nights
to watch The Boy Meets World.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Yeah in college, yeah, that's the thing, is like a
younger targeted show. But then it had like it became
like the trendy cool thing for older kids too.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
So you're going Family Matter. You got Family Matter.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Boy Meets World step by step was the nine o'clock Eastern,
and then you had Hanging with Mister Cooper at nine thirty.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
So you're going, you're going with the nineteen ninety three
lineup of TGIF Family.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I am That lineup evidently lasted two years. They played
around with some other stuff at ninth or Sister Sister
on our own.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
I don't know if you remember either of those. I'm
sister sister. Of course, Sister Sister had they have their
own stand when you take when you want to take
a picture, you do the sister sisters stare back to back,
arms folded.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
You didn't know, we'll recreate that after the show.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
No, I did not know that is going. That is
definitely going on Instagram. That was a two year lineup.
I mean, I do.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
You've got three legendary shows in.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
There, What Family, Manners, Boy Meets World, and step by Step. Yeah, hang.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Show too.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
It was great. Yeah, basketball coach lived in a house.
I forget. There's some sexual tension there between him and
whoever else was living there. Yeah, I think that was
the premise. Really, there's kids, there's kids? Is there is
there a member of or did en Vogue maybe sing
the theme song? I bet you we'll have to fact
check that. I think end Vogue, which made me like
(11:44):
it because that was pack It was not a thing anymore.
I don't know if you heard. Oh that's right, got canceled.
Now we're getting news topical now, all right, Okay, that
is a That is a great lineup nineteen ninety.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
It's tough to top that line up.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah, what you want it is? It is so great that,
in fact I have the same exact lineup when I
was this will never happen in any other episode. No,
what are the chances? Now? Here's the thing. Earlier I
mentioned that I thought Boy Meets World was overrated, but
here I am putting Boy Meets World. I have to
(12:19):
respect it. Plus that nineteen ninety three Boy Meets worlds
season was the was the first season, and I actually
did enjoy Boy Meets World early on.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Okay, and then jumped the shark.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I just outgrew it. I think I outgrew it. I
think I outgrew TGI. Maybe maybe it outgrew you. That's
deep therapy here Brady one more Time podcast. So yeah,
to reiterate Family Matters has got to be on there.
I think that's the mount rushmore of of stjif uh
step by Step is severely I cannot put u a
(12:52):
t j F lineup without Step by Step. That is
severely an underrated sitcom. I would agree with that it's
so good.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Yeah, it's because it was always the bride'smaid, never the bride.
Like if you look at all those lineups, it was
always being upstaged in popularity by a Family Matters or
Boy Means So Funny.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
We picked the same for I think I think that
it's hard to argue. I mean, you had some Sabrina
the Teenage Witch later in the decade dinosaurs.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I was gonna say, honorable mention ninety six, you had
family Matters, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Clueless, the TV series.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
This World was the nine thirty.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Okay that I mean, yeah, it's an honorable mention, but
you can't put it above nineteen ninety thirty?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Did did you mess with dinosaurs? How do? Dude?
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I don't remember the mom tell me about what is dinosaurs?
I saw it there and I would and had a
pretty long run. I have zero recollection of dinosaurs.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Get what we're taking edibles to do so far, But
add this to the lest dinosaurs, it's like a it's
not claimation, it's live action, but they're in dinosaur costs, okay,
and they're just like, it's pretend the Simpsons are dinosaurs, essentially,
because you got the one Brady kid he hit the
dad in the head with the pan. But it's not
a cartoon. It's not a cartoon. It was live action.
(14:08):
It was really really obvious that that they were in costumes,
and I think that was part of the fun of it,
because so it was like almost so bad it was good.
We need to that is I watch this? How do
you not remember dinosaurs? Everything was dinosaurs back then too.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
That is wild and that was so that was ninety
That was early ninety one, ninety two, the huge You
had a dinosaur show right right after Step by.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Step what I know, it didn't really match, it didn't
I mean, but it was great. Huh. Dinosaurs has like
a a pretty underground I would say cult following. If
you go backsh it's got a it's got to spark
something if you if you watch the episode, there's the
one teenage kid. He was pretty cool. He always got
in trouble. I'm surprised you don't remembering.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Teenage dinosaur kid. Or were there humans and dinosaurs co
existing on this show?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
No? Humans, uh uh no, nowhere to be found. By
the way, the best part of TGI in these these
sitcoms was Miller Boyette Productions always had the same singer
for the theme songs. You notice that, like the Step by Step,
Full House Family Matters, they all had the same guy singing.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Huh, yeah, I missed theme songs. They not a thing
anymorey not a thing anymore. Speaking of theme songs, in
Vogue did perform the theme song for Hanging with Mister
Cooper along with Holly Robinson, Pete and Don.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Lewis, members of uh in Vogue, they're members of it.
No there you go. Yeah, oh I I did enjoy.
And that was like right when like my Lovin never
gonna get it was out and You're never gonna get
it this time. Oh, we can't say, that's the most
we can go. Worst thing about the TGIF lineup is
(15:46):
right after it was like Unsolved Mysteries, yeah, or like
twenty twenty twenty, I think, Yeah, it got really depressing. Yeah,
like we're just watching Hanging with Mister Cooper.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Well, and what's weird is that's on a Friday night,
Like that would make sense on a week night because
the kids are going to go to bed and.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
That's for the grown ups. But it's quite a transition
from those which and her Tomfoolery right into who murdered
Little Little Annie down the road? It was dark, dark,
real quick with Barbara Walters. Yep, that was the worst part.
So how did we do that? Is a question? Is
(16:22):
I think I think people are going to mostly agree
that I don't know. You can't.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
You can't top that ninety three lineup. There's no way
which lineup? What do we miss?
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Uh? What episodes would you pick? What was what was
your peak tgi F lineup? We'll discuss this more on Instagram,
which you can follow along. I am at Brady Radio
