Editing TGIF (TV programming block) (section)

=== Second run (2003–2005) ===
''TGIF'' returned to ABC on September 26, 2003; the relaunched block received heavy promotion in advance, including a promo spot employing the [[Village People]] pop tune "[[Y.M.C.A. (song)|YMCA]]" (sung as "T-G-I-F"), featuring all the casts of all four family comedies seated on a humorously elongated living-room couch. The initial lineup for the revived ''TGIF'' featured returning comedies ''[[George Lopez (TV series)|George Lopez]]'' and ''[[Life with Bonnie]]'' (both of which were comedian-led starring vehicles, respectively for [[George Lopez]] and [[Bonnie Hunt]]), and freshmen series ''[[Married to the Kellys]]'' and ''[[Hope & Faith]]'' (the latter serving as a vehicle for [[Kelly Ripa]], who continued to host the [[Disney–ABC Domestic Television|Disney-distributed]] syndicated talk show ''[[Live with Kelly and Mark|Live with Regis and Kelly]]'' concurrent with her sitcom role). That season's lineup met with only moderate success, seeing a consistent second- or third-place showing against a popular CBS drama lineup that included ''[[Joan of Arcadia]]'' and ''[[JAG (TV series)|JAG]]''.

For the majority of the ''TGIF'' revival, the block aired without a host – thereby differing from the concept of the original 1989 to 2000 version. ''Hope & Faith'' was the only show from the previous season that remained on the Friday lineup for the 2004–05 season (''George Lopez'' was moved to ABC's Tuesday comedy block, before being shifted back to its original night of Wednesday; while ''Life with Bonnie'' and ''Married to the Kellys'' were both cancelled), with ''[[8 Simple Rules]]'' moving from Tuesdays to anchor the lineup, joined by freshman comedy ''[[Complete Savages]]'' and returning workplace sitcom ''[[Less than Perfect]]'' (transplanted from Wednesdays).

By early 2005, ABC had stopped actively promoting the ''TGIF'' name. ABC discontinued the ''TGIF'' block for the second time on September 16, 2005; this came despite CBS's cancellations of both ''Joan of Arcadia'' and ''JAG'' in May 2005. For the 2005–06 season, ''Hope & Faith'' continued to air on Friday nights (before moving to Tuesdays, where it ended its run after three seasons amid low ratings opposite [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] powerhouse ''[[American Idol]]''), while ''Less than Perfect'' was renewed as a midseason replacement (returning in April 2006, joining ''Hope & Faith'' on Tuesdays, where it met the same fate).
