The Hogan Family was on NBC right after Alf. Monday nights I think but could be wrong. Wasn't Jason Bateman the son and Valarie Harper the mom and the Dad was an airline pilot? I liked that show.

From the Department of Odd Things You Discover when Surfing imdb.com:
Dennis Haysbert (President Palmer on '24') was on Just the Ten of Us for 2 seasons. Don't remember him at all.
Of course, I didn't realize 'Fearless' Bobby Smith on Boomtown was Bubba from Forrest Gump at first viewing either......

Edit: According to this site, the show was renamed Valerie's Family after Valerie Harper left.
In the fall of 1987 Valerie Harper abruptly left the show in a well-publicized dispute with the producers. NBC decided to continue without her, retitling the series Valerie's Family (some suggested "Where's Valerie?" or "Who's Valerie?" might be more appropriate. Later, in June 1988, it became The Hogan Family. Valerie was written out of the series as having died, and Michael's divorced sister Sandy, a high school counselor moved in to serve as a sort of surrogate mom. Stories began to focus more on the kids, especially teenager David, who the producers hoped would become the next TV heartthrob.

I remember him!! I'm pretty sure he was the assistant to the coach, VERY small part.

True that Sabrina was a T.G.I.F. show before it moved to the WB, because after Family Matters moved to CBS and Boy Meets World was cancelled, T.G.I.F. simply died!
I also remember the Olsen Twins show Two of a Kind being on T.G.I.F.

wasn't there a show called Phenom about a tennis star on TGIF? It had the youngest kid on Growing Pains (Chrissy) on there. Maybe it was another night, but I am pretty sure it aired on ABC.

Out of all the shows to grace TGIF, only Boy Meets World brings a smile to my pure, caring soul. The love shine of Topanga and Cory is ideal for more people, wishing that growth out of happiness comes

One of the more recent ones (I believe, when ABC tried to bring TGIF back) was Odd Man Out, which I thought was a very decent show.
I remember that I couldn't wait for Friday to come just for the line-up.
