It's crazy how this TGIF line up is the one that always sticks out in my mind from my childhood. Also, the time travel TGIF crossover with all four shows was a highlight!!!
Those Capri Sun things always felt like they were ripping off The Secret World of Alex Mack to me. (Staying in the 90's and everything with my reference xD)
This is one of my favorite episodes of Boy Meets World, despite me not having watched a single episode in about a decade. The character of Millie is a) hot and b) obviously inspired by a number of Drew Barrymore characters during the 90's
I remember thinking I was going to go back and rewatch Sabrina and find it very corny, but I was pleasantly surprised that it still holds up as an entertaining show.
There were like 3 different Sabrina Halloween episodes. The first one you covered in your 1996 Halloween recap. The third one is like a murder mystery on a train. This is my favorite Sabrina Halloween episode of the three.
Oh how i miss these days! I wish i could watch a whole TGIF lineup somewhere, as well as SNICK! #1985baby Are you afraid of the Dark? was a definite fave!
Wow, this brought back some childhood memories. I was loved Halloween and Sabrina as a kid. My black cat's name was even Salem. I forgot the girl from Full House was on Boy Meets World. Happy Halloween.
Our little tradition was to get pizza, watch tgif & then the few movies rented from blockbuster. I vaguely remember the pizza wars, but specifically remember when one of the chains had this giant football shaped pizza promo that I begged my mom to get. And I could not miss an episode of Sabrina when I was a kid. I loved that show so much!
Nice political dig there. How are things today in Brandon-land? BTW, just to enlighten your new fans, Melissa Joan Hart was already a teen favorite just coming off her hit show, Clarissa Explains It All on us Kid's first network, Nickelodeon.
There might not have been TiVo, but they did have these things called VCR’s where you could record a show and watch it later if you weren’t going to be able to watch a particular show when it aired. 😂
I didn't grow up with TV. But I did watch these shows over the years as an adult. That candy corn episode of sabrina the teenage which is my favorite episode. I love boy meets world as well. But my favorite T.G.I.F. Show would have to be full house. It's funny the mention that since D.J. Was a witch in that Boy Meets World 🌎 Episode
@@AmoMe2009 gosh I am 35 and the last time I watched the show had to be when it was still on tv!!! I know that I was never really a fan of Angel so that stuff and his show never really interested me. Also when she got a “sister” hahaha by that time the show was pretty much done for me.
I had my wisdom teach pulled on Halloween 1997, which i believe was a Friday. I was home, but I dont think I watched TGIF that night. It was on the decline at that point.
TGIF's Frightful Halloween Bash lineup for Friday October 31, 1997 (Halloween). 8pm - Sabrina (new episode: A River of Candy Corn Runs Through It) 8:30pm - Boy Meets World (new episode: The Witches of Pennbrook) 9pm - You Wish! (new episode: Halloween) 9:30pm - Teen Angel (new episode: I Love Nitzke) 10pm - 20/20
4:35 10,000 Maniacs are from the Buffalo area. Nick Bakay, writer and voice of Salem the Cat is also from Buffalo. Natalie Merchant had already left the band by this time, becoming bigger solo than anything she did with the band. The band had therefore become irrelevant and this was their last brush of fame.
Learning something new every day! I had to do a quick Google because when you said “Natalie Merchant” for some reason I thought about the lead singer of the Dixie Chicks.
00:00 So I’m in the Halloween spirit, searching YT for some light-hearted nostalgic escapism… 00:01 “The year is 1997…” 00:45 seconds later: 0RANGE M4N B4D! 😂🪦🍊🤡🎃 A TDS review of TGIF, brilliant!
I think I just watched Family Matters because nothing else was on, I only like Steve. Full House was THE show, Sabrina I watched because Melissa was Clarissa. Boy meets world was everything and then became number 1 during 2013...Step by Step was iight.
3:43-3:44 Well speaking of that I remember when Sabrina the Teenage Witch reran on The N (later TeenNick) and ABC Family, and watched it in spite of the show's horrible laugh track. It's currently being reran on Fuel and streaming on Paramount+ (formerly CBS All Access) and Hulu, I only watched a couple of episodes when it reran there.
So this must the the time when I stopped watching TGIF, I’m a fan of Boy Meets World(but never got around watching till the very end) , I like Sabrina the teenage witch , so by the time the other shows were gone in the lineup, I probably tuned into other programs.
October of 1997 I was stationed in Orlando and sure as shit wasnt watching TV. And you actually though 10,000 Maniacs was a fake band. I hate you for making me feel old.
ABC's TGIF block died beginning in fall 1997, stemming from a combination of aging sitcoms like Family Matters and Step by Step moving to CBS (who started - and ended - their own family-friendly Friday night sitcom line-up in 1997-98 called "The Block Party"), the oversaturation of supernatural/magic type shows (Sabrina the Teenage Witch and new series You Wish and Teen Angel, the latter of which both lasted only one season), the failure of Two of a Kind (which was the last sitcom produced by the previously reliable Miller-Boyett group) starring the Olsen twins the following year (1998-99), and ultimately the ending of Boy Meets World after seven seasons and Sabrina... moving to The WB after the 1999-2000 season. ABC would bring back the TGIF brand for the 2003-05 & 2018-19 seasons, but it never met the same success it had before.
Jerry Van Dyke had been on ABC's Coach and was added to You Wish in hopes of enlivening the ratings... but it was yanked off the air after 7 weeks. Teen Angel fared better and they ordered 5 additional episodes, but TV mom/Brady Maureen McCormick dropped out, so Van Dyke was brought in to round out the cast. The unaired You Wish episodes were burned off the next summer alongside Teen Angel reruns after both shows had been canceled. There was probably overlap with Jerry on a few nights, though not many.
@@rememberwhenchannel I was disappointed that you glossed over those two shows. You Wish belongs on Disney+ (but at least someone put it on the Internet Archive). It's cute and holds up fairly well for what it is. I loved the edgier Teen Angel at the time, but the constant pop-culture references and CGI have dated it in a pretty ghastly way.
I lived every second of this video!!!! Hopefully you do more Halloween episodes
Oh I will. Planning on doing Christmas ones as well this year. Thank you so much! :)
Are you afraid of the dark!??
TGIF and snick definitely hold a special place in my heart! Born in 1987
I was only 5 in 97. But I vividly remember my grandparents watching these shows every Friday. Thank you for this video man. Good times.
Thank you so much! Glad you liked it! :)
Dang, 1. Sorry to hear you were only 5, and 2. Your GP were mad chill!
I wanna cry! It was the best of times! I was 10 years old and loved tgif :)
Yasssss. Same. This and Saturday morning cartoons (Sonic, Pepperann, Recess, Fudge, etc)
*THIS IS AMAZING. I REMEMBER HALLOWEEN IN 1997 WHEN I WAS IN 5TH GRADE FELL ON A FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!*
Oooooh spooky!
@@rememberwhenchannel "Spooky" meaning good memory or the memories of Halloween in the '90s?
It's crazy how this TGIF line up is the one that always sticks out in my mind from my childhood. Also, the time travel TGIF crossover with all four shows was a highlight!!!
I only remember Full House, Family Matters, StepxStep, Boy meet world, and Sabrina. I don't remember Teen Angle or nothing else.
@@thelthrythquezada8397same here, i remember more of the early 90’s TGIF shows
These 10 minutes just flew by.
This is the lineup that sticks out in my mind! Miss these TGIF days!
God I know. Much happier times.
Happy Halloween 🎃👻🕸️🕷️🧛♂️🧟♂️💀🍬🍭🍫 from TGIF

Friday October 31, 1997 ABC TGIF Halloween '97 Special
My Favorite Sabrina The Teenage Witch back when ABC was good
I remember thinking I was going to go back and rewatch Sabrina and find it very corny, but I was pleasantly surprised that it still holds up as an entertaining show.
@@rememberwhenchannel Now Sabrina the Teenage is on Hulu Streaming all the Episodes
There were like 3 different Sabrina Halloween episodes. The first one you covered in your 1996 Halloween recap. The third one is like a murder mystery on a train. This is my favorite Sabrina Halloween episode of the three.
Thank you for uploading this ❤
Thank you for watching :)
Oh how i miss these days! I wish i could watch a whole TGIF lineup somewhere, as well as SNICK! #1985baby Are you afraid of the Dark? was a definite fave!
I was a little scaredy-cat and wouldn’t watch Goosebumps or Are You Afraid Of The Dark.
I love these!!! More please!!!
How can I say no now?! :P
I remember this night they also aired a lot of promotions for Cinderella with Brandy.
The thought of that feels so 90s that I felt a warm feeling inside me lol
This was the season Family Matters and Step by Step left ABC and went to CBS for the I'll fated block party line up
Ooooh sounds like a potential video :P
Wow, this brought back some childhood memories. I was loved Halloween and Sabrina as a kid. My black cat's name was even Salem. I forgot the girl from Full House was on Boy Meets World. Happy Halloween.
Wasnt there a stevil sequel that year?
Maybe? I know there was a sequel that I’ll probably cover for the next Halloween. I’m just unsure of the date.
I loved the Family Maters one with Steve Urkels dummy Stevil
Our little tradition was to get pizza, watch tgif & then the few movies rented from blockbuster. I vaguely remember the pizza wars, but specifically remember when one of the chains had this giant football shaped pizza promo that I begged my mom to get.
And I could not miss an episode of Sabrina when I was a kid. I loved that show so much!
Our childhoods sound similar! I love to hear other’s memories of these times :)
The only thing about boy meets world is as it aged Eric just became overwhelmingly stupid.
This is very true.
Titanic ❤
It was a beautiful time.
great video man! i loved boy meets world and still do
Thanks a bunch!
Nice political dig there. How are things today in Brandon-land?
BTW, just to enlighten your new fans, Melissa Joan Hart was already a teen favorite just coming off her hit show, Clarissa Explains It All on us Kid's first network, Nickelodeon.
Lol nice!
What bizarro world are you living in where people order McDonald's pizza for Friday dinner?
I feel like singing the song from Willy Wonka and showing you a beautiful world where McDonalds served pizza haha
@Remember When I know some did, but it wasn't Friday night tgif material.
This is a really cool trip down memory lane
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it :)
Does Anyone Remembers Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve ? Does Anyone have it on a VHS TAPE 📼 ?, The Full Broadcast Please ?🙏
I used to watch it with my Grandma growing up! But sorry, not sure where to find it.
@@rememberwhenchannel Just keep on trying. You will find it, somehow.😀👍📼
You need an email for business inquiries ;) also boy meets world was the best!
Thanks for the heads up! I just added one :) And hell yeah it was!
This is a great channel
sounds like you're still using the same mic from 1997
Yeah probably
Pizza from McDonald's?! That sounds like a contradiction. Was/is this a thing in the US?
It sure was, it was here in Canada as well. I think you can still get it at one location in the US still though.
I loved the McDonalds pizza! We had it here in Texas!
What is "Holloween"?
It’s Halloween without the center.
💕💕💕💕💕❤❤❤❤❤
It feels like ABC didn't go all out in the 1997 Halloween episode like they did in the 1996 Halloween episode.
There might not have been TiVo, but they did have these things called VCR’s where you could record a show and watch it later if you weren’t going to be able to watch a particular show when it aired. 😂
McDonald's had pizza😮😮😮. I forgot all about that
Right?!
Melissa Joan Heart 😊
i liked teen angel as a kid, you wish seems like the genie was supposed to be pauly shore but he wasnt cast so the main character is acting like him
Oof when a show can’t get Pauly Shore, you know it’s in trouble 😉
I didn't grow up with TV. But I did watch these shows over the years as an adult. That candy corn episode of sabrina the teenage which is my favorite episode. I love boy meets world as well.

Fun fact: the voiceover for that night was the same voiceover for Buffy for the first two seasons. 1997-1998.
I did not know that! Cool!
@@rememberwhenchannel yup. He did the season 1 and season 2 intro before each episode started AND he also did the “next week on Buffy” WB promos.
Loved buffy. Definitely my favorite show growing up
@@alyciamarie4163 what was your favorite season? Mine was Season 2(overrall) and Season 5(cause of the villian Glory)
@@AmoMe2009 gosh I am 35 and the last time I watched the show had to be when it was still on tv!!! I know that I was never really a fan of Angel so that stuff and his show never really interested me. Also when she got a “sister” hahaha by that time the show was pretty much done for me.
TGIF was my life back then. Unfortunately I didn't watch Tgif that night because I went to a high school football game that night.
I had my wisdom teach pulled on Halloween 1997, which i believe was a Friday. I was home, but I dont think I watched TGIF that night. It was on the decline at that point.
So many good memories
love those shows you should cover the other magical shows you wish and teen angel also hanson sucks Natalie merchant forever
Well now that you reminded me what the Time Bomb episodes were, I think I will. Are you saying you don't want to MMMBop? :P
@@rememberwhenchannel just like hellen hunt said before killing her fellow criminals on a SNL hiest skit just MMMBop

A TDS review of TGIF, brilliant!
did you say a fresh pizza from mcdonalds
I sure did! And you know what, they weren't as bad as you might think haha
@@rememberwhenchannel where do you live that they had pizza at McDonald's? I've seen hot dogs down in Florida but never seen Pizza
@@dustincongello5802 It was actually a thing everywhere back in the '90s. I'm pretty sure it is still served at like two or three locations.
@@rememberwhenchannel not everywhere..i grew up in theearly 80s and 90s and had McDonald's 2 blocks away ..never saw pizza on the menu
@@dustincongello5802 No way! I guess I just assumed it was a promotion they did everywhere. Sounds like you should do a roadtrip to try it!
These were magical times
I think I just watched Family Matters because nothing else was on, I only like Steve. Full House was THE show, Sabrina I watched because Melissa was Clarissa. Boy meets world was everything and then became number 1 during 2013...Step by Step was iight.
10/10
tgif ...gosh..
i es was fam matter and step by step
I absolutely loved teen angel and you wish, was so disappointed when they were cancelled
like the pandemic now
Remember remembering to remember when you remembering to remember?
A fresh pizza from McDonald’s?
Damn right! Lol
I still wanted the _Jodie_ show on TGIF because Sweetin was so hot
This makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside...
I was 8 in 1997
i use to love home improvement show their Halloween stuff
3:43-3:44 Well speaking of that I remember when Sabrina the Teenage Witch reran on The N (later TeenNick) and ABC Family, and watched it in spite of the show's horrible laugh track. It's currently being reran on Fuel and streaming on Paramount+ (formerly CBS All Access) and Hulu, I only watched a couple of episodes when it reran there.
I remeber watching Sabrina the teenage witch and boy meets world boy meets world ran for seven seasons but how many seasons did Sabrina run for
Friday night was always pizza night and we watched TGIF
Loved tgif
Personally. I think the BMW episode is awesome, and like it more then the serial killer one.
Love the serial killer one.
So this must the the time when I stopped watching TGIF, I’m a fan of Boy Meets World(but never got around watching till the very end) , I like Sabrina the teenage witch , so by the time the other shows were gone in the lineup, I probably tuned into other programs.
Great times
1st video I’ve watched that was pretty solid
Thank you! I appreciate hearing that :)
YTVs Dark night was always fun on halloween in the 90s
October of 1997 I was stationed in Orlando and sure as shit wasnt watching TV.
And you actually though 10,000 Maniacs was a fake band.
I hate you for making me feel old.
i remember this
Yay! Awesome! :)
libby got on my nerves n all the cussing lol smh
Keep politics out of your posts and nobody ever ate a pizza at McDonald's bro
Lol thanks for the feedback!
Ummm as a kid I loved the pizza from McDonalds!
Mcpizza was so good, not sure where u were bro
i remember this Halloween stuff
There are way more they 22 weeks in a years they played reruns quite a bit of shows that already aired that same year.
Pizza from McDonald's?
That's right! I considered doing a whole video on McDonald's Pizza but it seems there are already many on here.
I’m surprised Candace played a character like that tbh lol

Totally remember teen angel!! I was a TGIF and snick fan hahahaah born in 1987
More TGIF Contant please
I may have a couple in the works ;)
I love Libby she's my favorite over Sabrina!!!
I’m actually surprised that Candace Cameron did such a satanic storyline even if it was hilarious
george clooney was so sexy 1997.... anyway lets stoked
A pizza from McDonald’s?
Libby was so fine though! Sabrina too🤤
Martin Helen Brown Robert Garcia Michelle
Lopez Charles Clark Edward Smith Christopher
Unicorn Knights of Monokeros is better than this video.
trump 2024!!
Dude, that is similar to what actually happened. I was the White Ranger. But we had chicken nuggets and coke, not pizza and Capri Sun. Good times.
It’s nice knowing I have a similar memory to someone else on the Friday nights. :)
