that's too bad. don't these compagnies realize that they could money off that show in syndication, there would be many cable channels that would want to air it.

I hope to see it added to the N in the future, if possible.

the N is horrible with handling shows though (aka summerland). Nick at Nite or back on ABC Family would be the best fit. It's not like ABC Family had an option. Neither did disney. They had to remove the show from their network.

Maybe N@N would be good, but I hate how they make you all excited (like getting Growing Pains), they air one night-long marathon and then air it once a week at like 430 in the morning and we never see of it again...

Yeah, ABC Family was mainly for the classic TGIF family sitcoms from the 90's, and eventually other family shows that aired mainly on Friday nights. Now they're bringing in all different kinds of shows, like That 70's Show, which is far, far away from being a family-type show.

If I were them, here's a schedule I'd do:
3:00 WILAY
4:00 8 Simple Rules
5:00 Gilmore Girls
6:00 Grounded for Life
7:00 That 70's Show

I know 8SR does well at 6pm, but it seems like it would go more with WILAY that That 70's Show, whereas GFL would go better with That 70's Show.

I love having WILAY and then 8SR back-to-back. That was the daytime WB lineup before Reba came into the 4pm slot in September 2006.

JulieSomoski · 06-06-2008, 10:18 PM

Imiss having BMW on the lineup as well. The show always seemed to fit really well with the other shows. Too bad BV can't find a distributor for the show

Do you know what the status of Whose Line will be after this July change? Is their contract expiring or will it be one of those shows (like Smallville) that leaves for a little while then comes back in a different slot? Strange since Drew Carey‘s fame is on the rise with success of his first year on Price is Right.

Step By Step and Whose line have been the only fixtures on the schedule since 2002 Whose Line has only been airing a few times a week during the midnight ET timeslot. Is this the end of whose line on ABC Fam? Is Step By Step’s early morning timeslot the next show we need to worry about losing.

Yeah, Whose Line has really been trimmed down on the network. It used to be airing all the time at 10pm, with a Friday night marathon, but that was already a few years ago. I still watch it at midnight during the week - let's hope it stays for awhile.

I'm also glad their keeping 8 Simple Rules as is, i like that show alot

Have yall seen the promos for the Secret Life Of The American Teenager? I think its a welcome addition to their schedule, it looks good, kinda similar to 7th heaven...I also like that its on Tuesday nights cause i don't have a Tuesday night show at the moment..

SitcomGyrl1955 · 06-11-2008, 02:53 PM

What I want to know is if Lincoln Heights is coming back for a 3rd season? I love that show so much.

Big C · 06-11-2008, 06:41 PM

At least Step By Step isn't getting affected...
