This Friday, will you be saying “TGIF?” The Student Government Association hopes so. SGA will be giving you something more to look forward to than just the weekend.
The 1990s TV-inspired event will be turning the square into a Friday night fit for a kid. During the day, visit the square for corn-hole, games and snacks you cherished through your childhood– yep, Dunkaroos and Capri Sun.
However, the fun does not stop there.
That evening will offer more food and the entertainment of the original TGIF TV lineup. SGA will be showing episodes of Boy Meets World, Clarissa Explains It All, Hanging with Mr. Cooper and more in the square.
These classic shows were good, wholesome entertainment for preteens, teens and the whole family on Friday nights.
Unfortunately the ending of shows, competing networks and ratings brought the primetime sitcoms to an end. ABC attempted to have TGIF comebacks, but they had poor ratings due to other shows, reality television and the basic fact that it was a Friday night.
In case you don’t get enough Friday night, some can still be seen on day-time television on channels such as ABC Family, Nick at Nite and Ion Television.
