Ah, the glory days of ’80s and ’90s television! Big hair, high-waisted jeans, and catchy theme songs. The hangouts featured in these shows were the ultimate spots to be, and if only they existed in real life…
The Cheers Bar
Imagine walking into a place where everyone greets you with a loud, cheerful “Mia!” In today’s world, it’s hard to even get a nod from friends glued to their devices. But at Cheers, I could bask in the spotlight like Norm, feeling like a true star.
The Smash Club
The ultimate under-21 hangout, especially if you have adorable kids who throw out iconic lines like “How rude!” I’d make a beeline to snag a front-row seat to see Jesse and the Rippers. With rumors of a spinoff, maybe we’ll get to relive the magic of The Smash Club soon. Save me a spot next to Aunt Becky!
Mrs. Garrett’s Kitchen
Where else could I roller skate around the kitchen, just like Tootie? Sitting at that table, we’d discuss the facts of life, and I could get hair styling tips from Blair or car advice from Jo. And Natalie? She could help me edit my articles.
Arnold’s
This wasn’t just a burger joint; it had a dance floor and a jukebox! Happy days were spent here, especially if you were Fonzie, who could get the jukebox playing with just a fist bump. I would love to hang out in a booth with Richie, Potsie, and Ralph Malph, hoping Pinky Tuscadero might drop by too. We’d throw around phrases like “Sit on it!”—even if I never got the meaning.
The Peach Pit
I’d love to squeeze in next to Brenda and Brandon, wondering if they ever miss Minnesota or if they finally feel at home in Beverly Hills. The highlight would be enjoying one of Nat’s famous peach pies while humming the 90210 theme and double-punching Dylan’s chin.
The Diner on Seinfeld
While not much happened here—which was the point—it would be a blast to sit with Jerry and the crew, chatting about nothing in particular. (Fun fact: the diner is actually Tom’s Restaurant, so it does exist! Who wants to join me for a pastrami sandwich in New York?)
Today’s shows should take notes from these classics and include their own signature hangouts. Modern Family and The Middle, are you paying attention?
