TGIF Date Night

      This one is for my Cheugs (and my millennials who are in denial about being cheugy)! 
So, will rest of you just leave so we can reminisce about the 90s without your judgement? 
Now that it’s just us, let’s talk about the legendary Friday night line up on ABC, also known as TGIF! It has come to my attention that a few years ago, Hulu brought back a ton of TGIF shows to stream. Some of them have moved to different streaming services so I tracked them down. 
    What for you might ask? Well for a TGIF themed Date Night! (or an Alone Night, or a Friend Night.) I’ve compiled a list of some of the popular sitcoms from the peak time of TGIF and listed the places you can stream them. I’ve come up with some snack options and even offer you an authentic TGIF line up from 1997.

Shows & Where to Stream Them
Boy Meets World - Disney Plus
Dinosaurs - Disney Plus
Family Matters - Hulu
Full House - Hulu
Hangin’ With Mr Cooper - Hulu 
Perfect Strangers - Hulu 
Sabrina - Hulu / Paramount 
Sister, Sister - Hulu / Paramount / Amazon Prime
Step by Step - Hulu
Two of a Kind - Couldn't find it anywhere! (if anyone can tell me where to watch MK&A anything let me know)

     I apologize now if you aren't subscribed to Hulu because this post seems like a tease. But you can still create a two hour block if you have the other streaming services, though! (if you don't have any of these streaming site, check YouTube. There's a lot of TGIF content)
     Tonight isn't about being accurate, it's about the vibes. I'm literally wearing a scrunchie while writing this (I'm also watching Sabrina.) Have fun with it! If you don't like Family Matters, you can swap it with another show! You can watch 4 episodes of Boy Meets World for all I care! However, if you're wanting a true blue line up, the one from Spring of 1997 is below. I've also come up with my ideal TGIF line up.

Snacks
    A night watching TGIF reminds me of pizza, potato chips, and soda. But this is date night, so we have to class it up a bit. Might I suggest a 90s themed charcuterie board. Hear me out, what is a charcuterie board if it’s not just a grown up lunchable? Here are some suggestions.

Meats & Cheeses

• Pizza Rolls or Bagel Bites (there are two kinds of people in this world)
• Cut up some Slim Jims 
• Slices of Bolognas 
• Single Pepperonis 
• Kraft Singles cut into the shape of those Limited Too flowers.

Chips / Crackers

• Cheetos Puff (bonus if you can actually find Planters Cheez Balls) 
• Doritos - Has to be Nacho Cheese Flavor
• Bugles (if you can find any)
• Pringles 
• Graham Crackers

Dips

• Dunkaroo Dip (all you need is a box of Funfetti Cake Mix, Vanilla Yogurt, Cool Whip, and Sprinkles)
• Velveeta Cheese
• Ranch Dip

Sweets 

• Gushers 
• Oreos
• M&Ms - Toss Out The Blue Ones (they weren't around until 95)

Drinks 

• Zima
• Mike’s Hard Lemonade
• A Kool-Aid Spritzer
• Good Old Fashioned Water (because you’re in your 30s and all this food is going to make you sick)

     I hope you have a super fun date night! Maybe even bump some Britney Spears while getting everything together. Let me know in the comments below what your ideal line up would be! And let me see pictures of your adult lunchable set ups!
