TGIF....

Whats that you say? Its not Friday? 
I know... Just stay with me. 
Just so ya'll know, I spent 2 hours writing this post a couple weeks ago. I stayed up until 2 am. Posted it. Clicked on the edit button cause I had a little type-o that I wanted to fix and Botta Boom Botta Bang it was GONE. Vanished into thin air. And, since I broke my own cardinal rule to NEVER blog something in blogger but into a word document, it truly was gone. I was so ticked I just left it alone. For 3 whole weeks. Now I've decided to be un-ticked on and RE-POST this week's top ten list.
 Today's Top Ten Tuesday comes from the TGIF days.  
Now, I know it is not Friday... 
{Actually it's Tuesday and I am actually participating in my own Tripple T list on my own blog, on the right day. Send in the press. It may never happen again. Kidding, it's going to happen all the time now.} N-E-Ways, back to reality.  
Now, Friday is not what I meant by TGIF. What I really meant was that since it is Tuesday, it is time for Triple T, (Top Ten Tuesday) and the list I have decided to make today comes from my early pre-teen years. 

Remember the TGIF television line-up in the early 90's?

Oh the memories I have of TGIF. I loved TGIF! I remember so many Friday nights my brothers and I fighting over who got to control the channel. My brothers didn't like all the shows that were on so if they were in charge I didn't get to watch Full House or Family Matters. I used to whine and beg them to let me watch all the shows in the line up but they rarely let me. I also remember when it dawned on me to outsmart them. If I got to the television before they did then I had controller rights. You know, the old "I was here first" rule that holds ALL the clout in the world to children. I used to plan on Fridays to come home quickly from school and rush through my homework and get to the television before they did so that I would have the remote rights for the entire line-up. Oh the good old days before TVO.

And for a nice walk down memory lane, here is my Top Ten favorite sitcoms from the good ol days. 

In no particular order:

1. Full House

I said no particular order, and while the other 9 can't be ordered by liking per-say, this one can. Full House was my ULTIMATE fave.

And long before I even realized that men existed I had a huge crush on Uncle Jesse. Little did I know what amazing taste in men I would end up having. He still makes me weak in the knees. Mullet and all.

HAVE MERCY!

2. Step-by-Step

I thought this show was HILARIOUS.

And what a cute group of misfits in a step family.
And in my traditional, boy crazy, pre-teen, stage of life cousin Cody was the ultimate hottie.

Reflecting back on this, does anyone else think its hilarious that the dude lived in a van down by the river in the back yard?

3. Family Matters

I know you are all saying it right now: "Did I do that?"

Something about a black nerd that everyone pretended to hate but secretly loved.
Remember that one episode when he stepped into a time machine and came out all Non-Nerd-Bomber-Like and we all did double takes, picked up our jaws off the ground and stopped drooling and never looked at the Urkel the same way again? Ya, me too.

4. Boy Meets World 

I always felt bad for Cory. Having the SAME teacher from grade school all the way through high school {how odd is that?} AND having him for a next door neighbor. He could never escape from Mr. Feeny.
Long before I knew what a woman crush was, and long before I would ever admit to having one, I totally had one on Topanga.  

 She is hot. 

 5. Charles in Charge

It's all I can do not to break right out into song. Meh, gonna do it anyways.

"New Boy in the neighborhood. Lives downstairs and its understood. He's there just to take good care of me, like he's one of the family. Charles in charge of our days and our nights. Charles in charge of wrongs and our rights. And I sing I want Charles in Charge of me."

Oh what I wouldn't give now to have Charles be my babysitter. :) 

Once again, before I even knew that men existed, I sighed heavily at Scott Baio. What a stud muffin. 

 6. Small Wonder

Remember the robot maid slash slave? 
I think its hilarious that they made a slave out of a child sized robot and got away with it.  
Remember how annoying that neighbor girl was? I remember being ticked about that cause she was a red-head and I thought that because she was annoying all red-heads must be annoying. I was worried that I was no exception. 

 7. Mr. Belvedere

Again, in my youth I don't remember much about this show, other than remembering how glad I was that I didn't have to answer to a strict old English butler.  
I also remember how he used to drink lots of tea. And I had no idea what tea was, but I was told by my parents that it was bad for you. Oh the random and scattered memories I have. LOL.
 

 
 8. Out of this World

 This girl had the coolest secret power ever.
See, her mom was human and her dad was an alien. He had to stay in outer space because he couldn't survive on earth or something like that, but because she was the breed of such 2 species, she had secret powers. One of which was to freeze time by holding her fingers together, as pictured above.  
It was gold. Pure gold. This one my brothers and I always agreed on. They loved the idea of freezing time just as much as I did. 
You could be swinging on a star. :)  

 
 9. Who's The Boss?

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Tony Danza is Yummy in this role. I remember SO much about this show. It was iconic in my youth. 

And drum roll please. Coming in at #10 is


 10. Hanging With Mr. Cooper.

Oh man was this show funny. All I remember was that he was a substitute teacher that lived with 2 female roommates and that I loved it all. 

 This was the best video I could come up with. Its stupid Karaoke but it gets the point across. 

There you have it folks. If you are an 80's junkie like me you will swoon over these videos, as I have.If you don't care about the 80's or if you never watched these shows, well... that's just sad. 

And just below the cut:  

11. Perfect Strangers
