TGIF

I wonder who first cashed in on the expression Thank Goodness It's Friday, Friday's the restaurant or the storied Friday night abc primetime lineup that's brought us smash hits the likes of Perfect Strangers, Just The Ten Of Us, Family Matters, Full House and Step by Step? Furthermore, I wonder why the two (the restaurant and the tv lineup) have never joined forces for adverstising purposes? I'm sure Carl Winslow and Cousin Larry would have been more than happy to snack on some Jack Daniel's wings during some promos. And from the looks of it coach Graham Lubbock, the dad from Just the Ten of Us, (forgive me for insulting your pop culture intelligence) might have inhaled a taterskin or two in his day. What's more, as long as Friday's is using 30 page heavy duty bound menu-tablets, why not throw in a page of TGIF related specials. I bet these dishes would've raked it in:

Balky's Bibby Bobkas- his Nana's original recipe; 100% authentic Mepos-ian comfort food!

Uncle Jesse's Baklava- put together with all the care of his hair styling, Have Mercy!

The youngest daughter from Family Matter's dissapearing brownie: Just like her character on the show, this delcious desert will be gone in no time!

Uncle Joey's Cornbread: With real bits of corn, almost as corny as the man himself!

They could've given the servers talking Urkel buttons too and everytime they dropped a tray or messed up on order they'd press it and it would say: "Did I do that?"

Alls I'm trying to say is that it's silly that these two TGIF themed entities went it alone. Sure they could still team up, but at this point who cares? Complete Savages? I've never even heard of these shows. I have some houseguests here and one of them just asked me to "borrow the internet,"so I'm gonna let him do that. Here's hoping I get it back when he's done. Later.
