They only have many singers in the first two seasons. Originally Jesse Frederick and Theresa James were joined by kids singing the chorus. I think Jesse represented Frank, Teresa represented Carol, and the kids represented the kids (obviously). But they gave up on that and in season three only Jesse and Teresa are heard singing.

I think the Hub should air two great classic shows thats where to find on TV heck you cant even find episodes to watch on YouTube and thats where i go most of my free time, Webster and A Diff'rent World should be on that channel hopefully in the near future they will own the rights to both family sitcoms.

Step by Step is apparently doing well on The Hub, so it's staying put. I'm glad, since the show wasn't nearly as popular as Full House and Family Matters in synidcation. It's great seeing other shows from that era getting attention in this day and age.

Step by Step is not even close to be as popular as Full House and Family Matters i am not even sure that Step by Step was popular sitcom when they were still airing new episodes back in the mid 90's, but i do think if Step by Step is doing good in the ratings the Hub company might consider to add Full House and Family Matters and maybe Mork and Mindy to their line up next year if lucky.

Yes Step by Step is still popular. It lasted alot longer than Family Matters did on abc family. And Step by Step was pretty popular in it's initial run. Here's a comparison of ratings Sbs and Fm had in their same years:

Family Matters:
Season 3 1991-1992 #27
Season 4 1992-1993 #30
Season 5 1993-1994 #30
Season 6 1994-1995 #34
Season 7 1995-1996 #42
Season 8 1996-1997 #50
Season 9 1997-1998 #99

Step By Step:
Season 1 1991-1992 #36
Season 2 1992-1993 #35
Season 3 1993-1994 #34
Season 4 1994-1995 #39
Season 5 1995-1996 #54
Season 6 1997 #61
Season 7 1997-1998 #102

There's only a difference of 3-11 between them. Also Mork & Mindy is already on the hub.

ABC Family are cowards i had no idea they edited majority of the show Family Matters i just bought season 2 uncut and surprised at how much footage of the show i never got to see on ABC Family UPN and Nick@Nite, for example we never got to see every scene with steve being drunk as a skunk from season 2 where he does that urkel dance with a bunch of kids at maxine's birthday party.

Every network edits older TV shows. Shows used to be 23-25 minutes long, but are now required to be under 22 minutes to fit in more ads. Abc family atleast tried to show different scenes that were normally edited in syndication and cut other scenes instead. They were the only network to show the full opening theme. They also showed the n word on Lauras locker, even though every other network cuts it before she closed it. Step by Step on the Hub is the exception as it appears unedited. I guess it being a premium channel allows them to choose how many ads to show, even though other shows on the hub seem to be edited.

A little offtopic, but does anyone know if the "ALF" episodes on The Hub are unedited?
