TGIF

Remember the good old days when television was great? I can recall Friday nights, glued to prime time television and the incredible "TGIF: Thank God it's Friday." Who could forget such classics as "Full House," "Perfect Strangers" and "Family Matters"? Give me an hour and a half of such excellent fare, along with pizza and popcorn, and life didn't seem as though it could get any better.

Now, as primetime television started to slip, there remained a "safe" alternative: the Family Channel. Maybe it's programming is not remembered as widely, but I have such fond memories of "Zorro," "Rin Tin Tin: K9 Cop," and the truly one-of-a-kind gem, "Maniac Mansion." Now, if the mention of such shows fills your heart with longing, then take a trip down memory lane by going to http://www.lounatale.com/index.html (after you enter, click on "Samples" and you'll find the "Maniac Mansion" theme). Also, check out http://www.mansionsite.com/mmpics.htm for some images to further jog your memory. Ah...TGIF!
