I agree. I want Family Matters to come to Nick @ Nite soon. I miss it. But I also have to say that I am glad Home Improvement is no George Lopez or else it would suck!

I must say I'm disappointed FM isn't coming to N@N the week of April 20th. I think although June is a better time to premiere the show just as kids are getting out of school and staying up later watching tv, April is just as good. Especially the week that was picked. For kids (like me) in high school and those younger have spring break the week of April 20th and more kids will be watching N@N then usual over that week!

If N@N wanted to make FM a hit, they would move around some timeslots and have George Lopez on at 9 and FM on at 10, this way, the millions who watch GLO might stay with N@N and watch Family Matters.

If I were in control of N@N, here would be the schedule to get ratings up and make FM a hit!

9 - G.LO
10 - FM
11- HI
12 - Fresh Prince

If I remember correctly, until its later years, FM pulled in much higher ratings and was more popular than HI. I think FM would boost ratings for HI and GLO would boost ratings for FM.

CBS recently did this with Big Bang theory and 'mother' and now ratings for Mother are doing better!

I'm not that upset about 'Family Matters' delay. It was (if it still is) on ABC Family during the week day and/or the weekend, so I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. But I do agree it was wrong of N@N to delay it because it does have a large fan base.

I don't think FM would work in the 10pm slot, more suited for 9pm. And I'm still trying to figure out why HI suddenly started grabbing viewers when it wasn't at all in early 2008.

I think part of the excitment of FM coming to N@N was being able to watch it at night time and that would have been the first time it was on at night since it was on ABC. normally it was on in the daytime.
