Next month (https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-1992-04-25-1992116087-story.html) will officially mark (https://twitter.com/retronewsnow/status/989329597954252800) 30 years since these two (https://ew.com/article/1992/04/24/three-shows-air-their-series-finales/) shows (https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1992-04-25-9202040835-story.html) signed off (https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-04-25-ca-920-story.html):

I can't help but love how deliciously '90s this promo is with the C+C Music Factory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2BC_Music_Factory) song (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Things_That_Make_You_Go_Hmmm...) being used.

I also forget that ABC (https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:GzNbZwJJGU8J:https://www.tampabay.com/archive/1992/04/25/a-fond-farewell-to-these-tv-families/+&cd=34&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us) for all intents and purposes, dumped (https://www.metv.com/lists/12-authoritative-facts-about-whos-the-boss) both Growing Pains and Who's the Boss? (https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/68775/16-unquestionable-facts-about-whos-boss) on Saturday (https://www.nytimes.com/1992/03/19/arts/critic-s-notebook-lessons-in-broadcasting-the-power-of-a-show-for-children.html) nights (https://www.nytimes.com/1992/03/19/arts/critic-s-notebook-lessons-in-broadcasting-the-power-of-a-show-for-children.html) for their ill-fated and advised "I Love Saturday Night" block.
