There are at least six that I know of. Family Matters and Step by Step moved to CBS for their final seasons. Sabrina, the Teenage Witch and Sister, Sister moved to the WB. Clueless and The Hughleys moved to UPN. Are there any others?

The only I think of at the moment is Making The Band(which it appeared during the later part of the Original TGIF era on ABC) who move to MTV in 2002.

Hi,Honey I’m Home! Was it on ABC TGIF than moved to NICK at NITE. Or did it move from NICK at NITE to ABC TGIF. I can’t remember.

Wasn't Making the Band a reality show? It taking up residence on Friday nights was a sign TGIF was coming to an end.

New episodes first aired on ABC. The ABC episodes encored on Nick at Nite two days later. Then when ABC cancelled, the new episodes premiered on Nick.

Getting By was another series that started on TGIF and moved to CBS.

Starred Cindy Williams and Telma Hopkins.

It moved from ABC to NBC.

I don't know why I don't remember ever watching it when it was on. I guess I was always watching something else.

I remember when it launched on ABC TGIF. You're right it moved to NBC not CBS.

Anyways, I remember it was on TGIF with another new show, Where I Live, which starred Doug E Doug. Doug E Doug later joined Cosby (1996-2000).

I think after Getting By was cancelled, Telma Hopkins started re-appearing on Family Matters also.

Yes, it was a reality show about the making of a new boy band. It was nothing to write home about.

I do remember watching Where I Live. I read somewhere that Bill Cosby was a big fan of it. I guess that's how Doug E Doug ended up getting his role on Cosby.
