wstale.com


From 1989-2000 the American Broadcasting Company, ABC, had a ton of hit sitcoms which they aired in a block, giving viewers hours of Friday night family-fun. The continuous “block” of television programs was referred to as TGIF, gaining its title from the saying “Thank God It’s Friday”. For those who religiously watched the sitcoms remember the innocent times in which these characters thrived, and are probably wondering what their favorite actors/actresses are up to today. Some of them you might recognize, while other’s look like completely different people…

19. Aimee Garcia

If you were a fan of the George Lopez Show, then you definitely remember Aimee Garcia. She was on the show from 2006-2007, but she made a name for herself with her role as Veronica Palmero, the leading lady. She went on to play in All About the AndersonsTraumaDexter, and most recently, Lucifer. Chances are we will see much more of her and we’re not complaining.

18. Soleil Moon Frye

Sabrina The Teenage Witch was one of the most popular shows that played during the block, which is why Soliel Moon Fry gets a spot on this list! She played Roxie King on the show which made her a hit sensation, however, it wasn’t her first successful role. As a child actress Soliel starred in the hit show, Punky Brewster. 

17. Jurnee Smollett-Bell

As an adult, she has acted in a few movies and TV series, most notably Friday Night Lights until 2011.

Another star from Full House, Lori Loughlin is one of those faces you just don’t forget. The actress has aged like a goddess, looking almost the same as she did in 1995.

Christine Lakin was widely popular in the 90’s as she had a reoccurring role on the hit show Step By Step. She played Alicia “Al” Lambert, a young tomboy. What’s interesting, is as she grew up and became more feminine, the role changed with her. Now, she is best known for her voice of Joyce Kinney on the hilariously obnoxious show, Family Guy. 

12.Danielle Fishel

Boy Meets World was one of my favorite shows on during the TGIF block schedule. Danielle Fishel played Topanga and was the love interest of Cory Matthews, making up one half of the cutest couple on air at the time. After the show ended, she went on to star in the spin-off, Girl Meets World on the Disney channel. Now, she is the host of Style Network’s, The Dish.

Tia and Tamera Mowry are twins that had great success on their hit show, Sister, Sister. The show’s concept was that the twins were separated at birth and reunited by accident when seeing each other at the mall. The show lasted from 1994-1999 and the twins are still known for their roles. After the show’s end, the twins went on to have semi-well-known careers, focussing on modeling and reality TV and talk show appearances. One thing is for sure, they seem to get better with age.

8. Stacey Dash

The TV sitcom Clueless got its debut after the hit movie by the same name quickly became every teen girls favorite movie in 1995. The series went on for three years, and Stacey Dash played Deon “Dee” Davenport, one of the main characters. Her political beliefs following the 2016 elections have been extremely controversial, bringing her career to halt. However, no one can argue she looks as if aging doesn’t apply to her.

7. Rachel Blanchard

When the series Clueless was rebooted following the movie, Alicia Silverstone, who played Cher, didn’t want to be apart of it, so Rachel took over the role.
