    WarnerMedia Exploring Reboots of Warner Bros. TV TGIF Sitcoms: Report

    Family Matters
    Warner Bros. TV

    Some of the best TV comedies of the ’80s and ’90s might get new life. WarnerMedia is reportedly exploring possible reboots of some of the Warner Bros. Television sitcoms that were part of ABC’s iconic TGIF lineups.

    Shows like “Family Matters,” “Step by Step,” “Perfect Strangers,” and “Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper” could possibly be revived, Deadline reports. Sources tell the publication that there is interest and they are in the exploratory stages. The possible shows would be intended to launch on WarnerMedia’s upcoming streaming service.

    TGIF was a programming block that started in the late ’80s and was hugely successful in the ’90s. Different sitcoms rotated in and out of it over the years, and some of the others included “Webster,” “Full House,” “Dinosaurs,” and “Boy Meets World.” “Full House” was already successfully revived for Netflix, as Deadline points out, potentially leading the way for other such reboots.

    WarnerMedia is hard at work ahead of its launch. There are numerous new series in the works, some of which are based on familiar Warner Bros. properties and some that are new to fans. The company announced earlier Monday, for example, that it has ordered an animated series that will serve as a prequel to the 1984 comedy-horror flick “Gremlins.” News also broke that a show based on the novel “The Flight Attendant” is the works with Kaley Cuoco set to star.

    There’s still a lot to be done — including establish which, if any, reboots to order — but it’s already clear that the streaming service will have a lot to offer when it launches in 2020.

  • Hulu Is Bringing Back TGIF by Streaming ‘Full House,’ ‘Family Matters,’ and More

    Every generation should get to experience the joy of TGIF, and soon they can.

    Hulu announced Thursday that it is has locked down streaming rights to the late ’90s family favorites that made up the iconic TGIF lineup. That means that starting Sept. 29, subscribers will be able to stream “Full House,” “Perfect Strangers,” and “Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper” on the service. They won’t even have to wait until Fridays.

    The lineup was a staple for ’90s kids, and with all of the nostalgia going around, it’s no wonder the streamer wants to offer series that were a part of TGIF. The move should make for some very happy millennials.

    “These shows are more than just beloved hits, they were part of a cultural tradition to tune in every Friday night,” Craig Erwich, Hulu’s senior vice president of content, said in a statement. “Now, it can be Friday any day of the week on Hulu.”

    With the deal ironed out, the streaming service is currently trying to make the phrase “TGI-Hulu” happen, which may be an even bigger challenge; we don’t see TGIF going anywhere.

    TGIF just doesn’t mean what it used to. If you’re of a certain age, you probably remember the good old days when you would curl up on the couch at at 8 p.m. on a Friday evening and watch programming for 2 hours straight that seemed perfectly designed to fit your entertainment needs. One of those programs was the beloved “Boy Meets World.” The coming-of-age comedy has since been spun off into “Girl Meets World” on the Disney Channel, but we’ll never forget the original and all the joy it brought us throughout its 7 season run. Let’s revisit some moments from the show and make our Fridays that much more fun. TGIF, indeed.
