I still am trying to find out how Nick@Nite AND ABC Family can air it. As far as I know, Full House will be airing on both networks. I'll try to find out more sometime this week.

Brent88 · 10-28-2003, 11:34 PM

I wonder if it's like what they are doing with Roseanne? Oxygen airs it in the daytime, and N@N at Nite.

I am quite disappointed about the moving of FM so quick(2 months) out of that prime slot.

Positive aspects: The Full House/Family Matters/Step By Step back-to-back lineup.

The TGIF Christmas specials and the Christmas episodes on Sunday@2 things...

December looks exciting(except for FM's 1pm slot)

BTW: Full House 4 TIMES A DAY? GOD!!! 2 times a day would be enough.

Brent88 · 10-28-2003, 11:42 PM

Oh and one more thing... does ABC Family lose the rights to AFV? I noticed it's off the schedule?

dawsongirl · 10-28-2003, 11:45 PM

Full House overkill. But then it's on ABCF when I'm not watching TV, so I'll stick with Nick.

Czas na Zywiec · 10-28-2003, 11:55 PM

What the hell! This pisses me off extremely.

1. I've just gotten back into Family Matters, (The early seasons are the best), and now they decide to move it to 11 and 11:30AM....right when I have class.

2. Full House already airs 4 times a day on another network, why do we need 8 episodes a day??? The Roseanne/FullHouse/Cosby Show overkill is getting extremely annoying.

3. Growing Pains gets moved to a really bad timeslot. At least it still has the 10 and 10:30PM airings, but 7 in the morning?

Also about Growing Pains, when you say 7AM, do you mean back to back episodes like the afternoon ones, or is it just one?

And I was just begining to like ABC Family too.

I only posted the changes, so if a slot is missing, it's the same as before. It will still air Saturdays at 12am.

Brent88 · 10-28-2003, 11:55 PM

I feel the same way... I am not a FH fan, but 4 hours a day is too much... I hope the 4 episodes a day thing is just in December at the least. I don't like many of the changes for December only, but I have a feeling, it will go back to the way it was in 2004(just by glancing at the weekend lineup starting 12/28)(which is a Sunday BTW, not a Saturday)

Oh Pav: I didn't even know it aired Saturdays@ Midnight. I just saw that it was out of the 11am weekday slot.

GP is just one I believe at 9am ET, if it was two, he would have had it twice like with FH, FM, SBS and others...

That Family Matters slot sucks.

I'm with you... I didn't even watch ABC Family period til right before FM started to come on... now I am watching FM and Step By Step.

One episode. 9:30am is "Living the Life," which is the 700 Club.

I forgot about this. Of course, they have to have a MK&A marathon, once again. Although I didn't see it coming, I'm not surprised that Full House will be on ABCFamily. I mean, ABCF needs EVERYTHING Olsen twin related.

Brent88 · 10-29-2003, 12:01 AM

Why is the Olsen twins always on ABC Family? Is this like an obsession, I hope this is just a December thing(at least the two hours on weekdays thing)

So Little Time and Two o a Kind have been on the channel for so long and will probably be rerunned until the apocolypse. I'm fearing the same for Full House. And knwoing ABCFamily, they'll probably only play the later, Michelle oriented episodes.
