TGIF


Memories of the Day: TGIF
Website of the Day: ABC


Anytime I think of television from the 90s, I always think of TGIF. TGIF was a block of Friday night shows on ABC. I am aware that it started in late 80s, but when I was old enough to stay up late to watch tv, it was a whole new gang of shows. The one show that sticks to most people's minds would be Family Matters. It must be hard to forget the annoying voice of the unforgettable character, Urkle. Also, there was Step by Step. It was sort of an updated Brady Bunch. My favorite would always have to be Boy Meets World. It had the goofy teen stuff we all can relate to. Later on, shows changed a bit and we got Sabrina The Teenage Witch. Sabrina's cat, Salem, is totally a talking version of my oldest cat. There was also a show that didn't last too long, Teen Angel. It was about a guy who ate a bad hamburger and came back as an angel to hang out with his best friend.

Let me know if you have any TGIF memories :)

Buffyverse

TV Show/Comic of the Day: Buffy The Vampire Slayer
Website of the Day: Much Ado About Buffy

Buffy has never been a normal girl. That much is obvious. She has been chosen to be the one to pretty much save the world in a matter of hours.

I first saw the movie in 92 and thought it was pretty funny. But the show is the way it should have been done. It still has moments of humor, but it is much like a horror movie put into a tv show.

If you still can't get enough of that, there is always the Angel series. It shows you what happens to Buffy's ex-vampire love. It even has singing demons. Now, demons aren't all bad in the Buffy/Angelverse. I guess you have to watch it to understand.

Now, if you still can't get enough, there are the comics. Dark Horse continues to tell the tales of Buffy in Season 8 (which is in comic form rather than tv) and you can also catch up with Angel in his series.

Oh yea, there is a musical episode of the show. Who can say no to that?
