T.G.I.S vs. GIMIK (my favorites)

I was in highschool when TGIS aired at GMA 7, and I really enjoyed the show. Angelu-Bobby team up was really great. Less than a year, when GIMIK aired at ABS-CBN2,  I also transferred because Judy Ann, was part of the main cast of the youth-oriented show. I really don't missed the Saturday show. 

TGIS (Thank God It’s Sabado) was a youth oriented drama series aired on GMA Network from August 12, 1995 to November 27, 1999. During its run, it aired regularly on Saturday. It was produced by GMA Network, and VIVA Television. The title is derived from the popular expression "TGIF."

The show revolves around a clique of friends living in a fictional village presumably located somewhere in Quezon City. They deal with the various episodes that usually come with adolescent life. All characters in the series are part of the same continuity.

I love to reminisce my old time watching my favorite shows. I just admire the simple love story and family, friendship story. I always get "kilig" with those scene even if "mababaw". That is me "mababaw na tao".  Missed this kind of show.
