Thanks Pav I'm glad they're keeping Step by Step and moving BMW up an hour, I still wish they were keeping it on at 5 but I'll take what I can get

Im really liking Family Matters at Midnight & 12:30.
But 700 Club must go, that shows sucks in every way possible.

When Fox bought the Family Channel from Pat Robertson/CBN in 1999, part of the deal was that they had to continue airing The 700 Club for X amount of years (I'm not sure what the exact number was). When ABC bought the network from Fox, they had to continue to honor that contract.

So I don't think they want to air that show; they have to.

Just because you don't like The 700 Club doesn't mean that nobody else does. Heck if it wasn't for The 700 Club there probably wouldn't be an ABC Family.

I highly doubt The 700 Club is the reason they have an ABC Family.
Read AKA's post.... they just got screwed with a contract.

They just need to get rid of that extra Full House block and replace it with 7th Heaven and it would be a perfect scedule.

Okay, I see. Thanks for pointing that out. Let me explain my "crazy" logic. When Pat Robertson created the network he asked for "700 people" to donate so he could keep it running. That network was CBN, which became Family Channel, which became Fox Family, which eventually became ABC Family. Sorry, that was probably way more information than what you wanted to know.

Sorry for going so off-topic. Anyway, I'm just glad that ABC Family kept Step by Step on the schedule.

Agree on both counts...

Pat Robertson bores me.

I wish ABC Family would pick up Lois and Clark, they could have a superhero block with Smallville
