ABC Family March 2008 Changes - Page 3 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Does it seem obvious why Step By Step will not air in the more prestigious afternoon timeslot. ABC Family loves the episodes from the final couple seasons when the kids are around 20 years old. Back in Summer 2003, when the show origninally got promoted from mornings and moved to 1pm ct, season 5 was the first episdoes to air. In fall 2006, it moved from 930 am ct to 1pm ct and started airing episodes when some of the kids were college aged. It's always been this way. Since they are currently showing the beginning of season 3 in the early morning slot, I'm wondering if it will be a while before they move it back to a good afternoon timeslot. ABC Family don't seem comfortable with airing the young shows in a good timeslot.

I haven't been watching ABC Family a lot lately. I'll occasionally catch Sabrina or WILAY, but it just doesn't seem the same without Family Matters. It won't seem right watching it on Nick at Nite come April . . . it belongs on ABC Family.
