It originally aired on Tuesday after Who's The Boss and then it later moved to Wednesday.

In its last season (1991-1992) they threw it to the graveyard on Saturday Nights paired up with Who's the Boss again. Ratings had declined the previous season for both veteran shows and ABC wanted to test Full House on Tuesday Nights with new comedy Home Improvement, well nuff said, Tuesday Night took off for ABC, while the kid friendly Dinosaurs was on Wednesday Nights.
