Thanks for asking us to walk down memory lane with you as we help you celebrate your birthday! The first TV show I have a memory of loving was The Magical World of Disney. I have a very vivid memory of jumping on the couch with my sister singing the theme song as the show was about to begin. We were weird kids! I also loved all of the super cheesy TGIF shows- Full House, Family Matters, Step by Step, Boy Meets World and Sister, Sister were my favorites. Here's an article about TGIF in case you watched any of those shows. Wishing you a wonderful day full of celebrations!

Thank Goodness it's Friday is a sentiment most people are familiar with, a sentiment capitalized on by ABC with their Friday night programming block. TGIF aired some of the most popular sitcoms during its 11-year run, lasting from 1989 to 2000.

While ABC tried to recapture the TGIF vibe with two subsequent and short-lived incarnations, nothing comes close to the original programming block. This list showcases the 10 best TGIF series to run during the first campaign, most of which have been picked up for streaming by Hulu.

10 Family Matters (1989 - 1997)

"Did I do that?" Family Matters is a multigenerational comedy focused on the Winslows, a family living in the Chicago suburbs. While the Winslows are charming and hilarious in their own right, the real star of the show is their dorky neighbor Steve Urkle.

Played by Jaleel White, Urkle is well-intentioned and incredibly intelligent. He's also a total clutz who is forever in love with Laura Winslow. Family Matters is still one of the longest-running series to feature a black family, second only to The Jeffersons.

9 Step By Step (1991 - 1997)

Step by Step is The Brady Bunch for 90s audiences. Patrick Duffy and Suzanne Somers play single parents who meet and marry during a Jamaican vacation. Each of their characters has three children, and they all come together to form one dysfunctionally happy family.

The series is full of arguments, tussles, and the growing pains that come along with forming a nuclear family. Despite its derivative plot, Step by Step still struck a chord with audiences.

8 Full House (1987 - 1995)

Full House kept audiences laughing and crying for eight years. It made stars out of its cast - from John Stamos to the Olsen twins - and even spawned a Netflix sequel that debuted in 2016.

The show's basic premise involves widowed father Danny Tanner asking his brother-in-law and best friend to move into his San Francisco home in order to help him raise his three daughters. Personalities clash and innocent mayhem ensues, but everyone always comes together at the end of the day.

7 Boy Meets World (1993 - 2000)

Boy Meets World is a coming-of-age sitcom focused around a typical American boy: Cory Matthews. Played by Ben Savage, Cory and his best friend Shawn - played by Rider Strong - endure school, crushes, and puberty. The series follows the boys through middle school, high school, and eventually college.

Popular characters in Boy Meets World include teacher Mr. Feeney and Corey's crush Topanga. The series also includes important cultural references to Philadelphia, it's setting.

6 Sabrina The Teenage Witch (1996 - 2003)

This tamer take on the Sabrina comics sees Melissa Joan Hart as the title character, a young witch guided through her magical evolution by her two aunts, Zelda and Hilda. Sabrina also lives with a talking black cat named Salem.

RELATED: The 10 Best Sitcom Casts From The 2010s, Ranked

Sabrina the Teenage Witch combines stereotypical teenage woes with supernatural ruckus. Sabrina juggles school, love, and witchcraft. The results are often hilarious.

5 Dinosaurs (1991 - 1994)

Jim Henson's Dinosaurs was an ambitious venture, to say the least. A potent satire, the series stars a family of anthropomorphic dinosaurs living around 60 million BC. Using bodysuits and puppetry, the Sinclair family's relatable issues are acted out on screen.

Dinosaurs hasn't lost its relevancy. The series -using humor - tackles issues ranging from sexism to consumer culture to the extinction of the species.

4 Hanging' With Mr. Cooper (1992 - 1997)

Hanging With Mr. Cooper went through a few script changes during its four-season run. The series's star, comedian Mark Curry, plays a former basketball player turned substitute teacher. The tone of the show went from adult-oriented to family-themed as it progressed.

Set in the San Francisco Bay area, much of the series takes place at Oakbridge High, where Curry's character is employed. Hanging with Mr. Cooper includes many of the standard sitcom topics: romance, career development, and family.

3 Sister, Sister (1994 - 1999)

Real-life twins Tia and Tamera Mowry star in this textbook sitcom. In Sister, Sister, the Lowrys play twins separated at birth who reunite as teenagers. Set in metro Detroit, the girls meet by chance at a mall when they're 14.

They work with their adoptive parents to eventually move into the same house, where they are able to grow up together. As the series progresses, Tia and Tamera get boyfriends, go to college, and track down their biological parents.

2 Perfect Strangers (1986 - 1993)

An odd-couple comedy, Perfect Strangers tells the story of two distant cousins who reconnect in Chicago. Mark Linn-Baker plays Larry Appleton, and Bronson Pinchot plays Balki Bartokomous. Balki - a native of the Mediterranean - crashes Larry's new bachelor pad, hoping to start a new life in America.

Larry - an aspiring photographer - doesn't want Balki encroaching upon his life, but he eventually softens to his well-intentioned cousin. Balki's acclimation to American culture creates the bulk of the comedy here.

1 Just The Ten Of Us (1988 - 1990)

Just the Ten of Us shines a light on a large Catholic family living in Eureka, California. A large slice-of-life sitcom, the series stars comedian Bill Kirchenbauer as Coach Graham Lubbock, the father of eight and husband to Deborah Harmon's character Elizabeth.

This series is a spin-off of another well-known family comedy: Growing Pains. Kirchenbauer plays the same character in both shows.

You take the good, you take the bad; You take them both and there you have - The facts of life, the facts of life!  Always loved the Jo - Blair dynamic!  Have a GREAT birthday Sara!  Love, Steph B.

I feel so fortunate to be able to call you my colleague and friend. Hope you have an awesome day! One of my favorite shows in middle school (and I think it holds up pretty well) was My So-Called Life. Jordan Catalano was probably my most enduring crush.
Cheers to you! Erin

Happy Birthday Sara!
Thank you for taking me down memory lane!  So many memories of so many shows, from Saturday morning cartoons with my sister to family tv nights during the week.  Some of the shows have been mentioned by others -- I Dream of Jeannie, The Flintstones, The Brady Bunch.  I also loved Scooby Doo and Bugs Bunny.  As I got a little older, favorites were The Partridge Family, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, MASH,  and The Carol Burnett Show.  I remember watching Laugh-In and thinking that I was being allowed to watch something I really shouldn't be watching...that there were some hidden jokes which I wasn't quite old enough to get, lol!!!  Anyway, hope you have a fabulous day!
--Leslie

My absolute favorite show as a kid was The Brady Bunch.  This scene is so memorable, and never gets old (although this clip is a bit long).  I'm wondering who else has this line embedded in their brain!

Have a great day, and watch out for flying objects!!

Wishing you a very happy bday this year! One of the shows I loved as a kid was Hey Dude on Nickelodeon. Just like Saved By The Bell or other teen ensemble shows, I was SURE this is what life would be like when I was slightly older, and I couldn't wait for it!! Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hey_Dude

In many ways, I still feel that naive wonder of "what will life be like if/when..." and I hope you do too! So for today (and the future), I wish you much fun & happiness!

I hope you have a fantastic day! I didn't have television growing up (no cable or reception for antenna in my area), so I don't have a favorite television show, but one of my favorite videos to rent from the video store was My Neighbor Totoro.

I'll tell you some of my favs from childhood through my early teens....
Ducktales, Carmen Sandiego, Ghostwriter, Different Strokes, Different World, Perfect Strangers, 227, Price is Right, Facts of Life, and Video Music Box. These are just a few but I'll leave you with one of Bob Ross' landscape paintings!
Hope you have an awesome day!

You share a birthday with my little brother!
I used to love ALL things California Raisins when I was a kid in the 80s. I don't know if they were ever really a TV show but I remember a lot of commercials and I am still obsessed with the Christmas special.

Happy Birthday Sara.  I'm going to share two favorite shows. The first one is strange watching it as an adult recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLQS6xo40kI

The second was very popular: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcGNqrAtsgg

I liked Thundercats so much as a kid that my Aunt took my brother and I to see Thundercats live at radio city music hall I think, I can't remember exactly which theater.
