writers workshop: top 10 family tv shows i'd like to make a comeback

i recently started following mama's losin' it's blog

and couldn't resist this weeks prompts!

as a kid, watching tv -good tv..is one of many fond memories growing up.

flipping through channels today, i realize the majority of today's programming

consists of reality tv..which in my opinion is NOT good tv.

sure, we discover new talents through reality tv..but nothing

beats a great family comedy show that engages the entire family.

do you remember the TGIF time slot on fridays growing up?

it was the night my sister and i would be allowed to stay up a little later than

usual to watch all of our fave shows..here's my top 10 list of shows

i'd like to make a comeback:

1. full house

the show we all grew up on. from the hot late 80's clothing,

to the sentimental music during a moral lesson..every episode was

worth watching. who remembers the dance routine to "motownphilly"

that stephanie's dance group performed and she kept flubbing

the moves so she wouldn't have to go to summer dance camp?

or how mid season they changed jesse's last name from cochran to katsopolous?

man, i love this show.

2. out of this world.

i don't know what girl didn't want her special powers

of freezing time. and how strange it was that she talked

to her dad from a crystal pyramid looking thing next to her bed.

3. perfect strangers.

the "balki". need i say more?

4. step by step

a modern day brady bunch..who didn't love their cousin cody?!

5. family matters

"did i do thaaaat?" this show was part of the awesome TGIF line up

and who can forget the catchy theme song!

6. family ties.

Alex P. Keaton. I'll never forget Michael J. Fox

in this role.

7. The Rockets

this canadian show totally rocked my socks when i was a kid.

my sister and i wanted to BE in the rockets. we'd get up every

 saturday morning to watch!

7. The Mickey Mouse Club

creating stars like justin timberlake, jc chasez, ryan gosling, britney spears,

keri russell and christina aguilera..this variety show was full of

fun skits and remakes of awesome late 80's to 90's

pop music..miss this show so much!

8. california dreams

"surf dudes with attitude..kinda groovy, laid back moods,

sky above sand below..good vibrations..feelin' mellow....

won't give it up....don't wanna stop..

don't wake me up..

don't wake me up if i'm dreamin'

california dreams

just let me lay here in the sun...

until my dream is done"

(guitar solo)

love it.

9. kids street

a fun reality show where the kids had to answer questions

about the other correctly and clap over their heads.

who didn't love the wall of prizes to be won!

10. saved by the bell.

"i'm so excited, i'm so excited..i'm so...scared!"

i literally grew up on this show and probably

learned everything i needed to know to survive late elementary and

highschool.

well there it is.

i only hope that the tv shows my children grow up on

are as wholesome and inspirational as the ones i used to watch!
