In this episode, Emily and Angela take a walk down memory lane and explore the phenomenon of branding days of the week by tv networks and how that influenced our viewing habits in the 80s and 90s. When ABC put out TGIF, a very distinct time block that showcased loveable family-friendly shows for 2 hours each Friday from 8pm-10pm... you can bet that time slot (and pizza for dinner) became a huge part of the American family viewing ritual in the 80s and 90s.
