* FollowTheLeader: ABC attempted several other themed programming blocks-''The Hump'', ''MCTV'' on Saturday mornings and ''I Love Saturday Night''- to piggyback on the success of TGIF; all failed (and ''Perfect Strangers'' ended up getting killed when it was moved to Saturdays to be the centerpiece of that block).
