The Rise & Fall of Must See TV, TGIF, & SNICK

[TMC]

During the '90s, these were to me at least, the three biggest end of
the weekday prime time TV blocks, Must See TV on NBC on Thursdays,
TGIF on ABC on Fridays, and SNICK on Nickelodeon on Saturday. I was
kind of inspired by the recent book by Warren Littlefield (NBC's
entertainment president during the glory days of Must See TV). I wish
that somebody there would write books regarding TGIF (and its failed
relaunch from 2003-05) and SNICK (and really, Nickelodeon's downfall
as of late in general).

Somebody should right a book about TGIF, SNICK and *T-NBC* Saturday
mornings - those three targeted youngsters; Must See was targeting a
completely different audience...

"Surf-crazed aliens... Of course." - Amber, "Alien Surf Girls",
Episode #1.1, "Wipeout".
Wait a minute... "Of course"?! "*Of course*"?!! Did I miss a step here??!!
