I didn't watch much of ABC's TGIF when the comedy blocks were really big in the late 80's and 1990's. If I was home on Friday night, CBS and Dallas were usually on, as that's what my parents were watching. I also wasn't really drawn to most of the ABC shows, Urkel annoyed me, as did Balki and most of the other characters that inhabited the ABC line up.
I did have a short-lived crush on Sasha Mitchell when he was on Dallas and Step by Step, but that evaporated after hearing about his charges for domestic violence. I was surprised then, when searching for sit-com strippers to find at least two examples from the TGIT teen oriented line-up.
Family Matters
Walk on the Wild Side
Original Airdate: March, 1993
Laura is desperately looking to shed her "nice girl" image, so she and Maxine obtain fake IDs and go to a male strip club for a wild evening on the town. Problem is, Harriette, Rachel and Estelle are there too (having their own "evening out") ... and Urkel, who gets wind of Laura's plans and in trying to stop her, accidentally performs onstage.
Of course, like most storylines on Family Matters, the show wasn't complete without a comedy bit from Urkel. It was inevitable that Urkel would tag along to the club and eventually end up on stage.
I don't remember ever watching an entire episode of Step by Step, but do remember thinking actor Brandon Call was pretty cute. Although there was a 'sort of' strip in the episode, the hotter scene for me was the audition, where there other hotties taking it off for a spot on the main stage.
Step by Step
The Half Monty
Original Airdate: February 1998
J.T. and Rich need money to take the girls on a ski trip, so they decide to make some quick money as male strippers. Carol and Frank are asked to share their marriage secrets with a group at their church.
