I agree. And it was actually cancelled in 2006. My point being, I would’ve liked to see her transition to another multi-cam. TV is where she belonged.

Saved by the Bell is objectively the best one. But The Conners, Fuller House and That ‘90s Show probably came closest to capturing the essence of their original runs.

In an alternate universe, What I Like About You is cancelled in 2006 and Amanda Bynes is immediately cast in a CBS multi-cam that goes 6-8 seasons.

I really think that show would still be on the air with a better title. Like MotoDoc.

His production company is behind it; he's an EP.

Freeform’s got Boy Meets World, TBS has Family Matters, and both are being played at the wrong frame rate. Why do they hate TGIF sitcoms?

I made a promise to myself to have rough drafts ready a month ahead of launch. I’m sure I’ll eventually be writing up to the moment, as well.
