Development

T.G.I.S. was first directed by Mark A. Reyes with story by Kit Villanueva-Langit. [1] The title of the show was conceptualized by Reyes to mean "Thank God It's Sabado," which was derived from commercials of Jollibee ("I Love You Sabado") and San Miguel Beer (Sabado Nights), and the expression "Thank God It's Friday," replacing the Friday with Sabado (the Tagalog word for Saturday). [8]

Music

The opening theme of the show was originally "Dyslexic Heart" by Paul Westerberg that was taken from the Singles film. It was later changed to "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves. [9]
