TGIF (Thank God It's Friday) is coming back... a little.
Do you remember Cory and Tapanga from Boy Meets World? If you've ever spent a Friday night at home watching TV from 1993-2000 you are probably familiar with them in some capacity. If you were a fan or if you're thinking you missed out on the phenomenon, don't worry. On June 27th you'll get another chance to see the two again when their new show Girl Meets World premiers on The Disney Channel.
Yep, everything about the old favorite, Boy Meets World, will stay the same. The original Corey and Tapanga will be back, but this time they have kids and are the ones taking on the roles of the adults they once challenged.
Disney has tapped into a formula that will have thirty-somethings through up-and-coming tweeners plugged in to watch the sequel. It seems so simple, right? If it worked in past it will probably work again. So why haven't other popular shows come back? I would pretty much give my right arm to get Kelly and Zach back. I could just see the two running the halls of Bayside High again. And what about Full House? Or even Family Matters. How great would it be to have Steve return with a small army of mini Urkels and Urkelettes and a new slew of "Did I do that?" moments?
Some of the best memories of my early TV life were ordering a pizza from Giuseppe's on a Friday night after an endless week of elementary school and watching TGIF. As I admittedly await Girl Meets World, I'm curious what others thoughts are on some of their favorite shows coming back. I mean if it wasn't broken then maybe there's a chance it could come back.
Then...
Now...
Casey, this is awesome! I would be right there with you, arm in the other hand, to have some of these classic shows back. My siblings and I always talk about how we wish there was still the quality TV on now which we were able to enjoy. It is so funny to now watch some of these shows as an adult and catch the clearly sneaky humor moments that flew way over my head as a child. I too am curious to know how the new Girl Meets World show pans out because the original is one of my all time favorites! FE-E-E-E-EEEENNNNNA! So great :)
ReplyDeleteCasey, I think it is just amazing how we relate television shows to where we were in our own lives at the time. For me, "Save By the Bell" and "Boy Meets World" were shows that we watch with our kids. They often made great conversation starts for topics like dating and peer pressure! It is great that many of these are timeless treasures that we can watch again years later and share a giggle about the styles of clothing or hair and the size of the cell phones!
ReplyDeleteCasey, how fun it is to reminisce about my youth or younger years anyway. Saved by the Bell was a huge favorite while I was in college. I actually made a point of taping 3 TV shows while I was at class and this was one of them. This summer I have spent many hours watching Full House with my own children. Nickelodeon runs reruns on Nick at Night. My daughter, Amanda, was in shock when she found out that Candace Cameron Beret was the grown woman competing on Dancing with the Stars was the same person who played DJ on Full House.
