Where did you hear about "Blossom" joining The N? If it is, I'll now be able to watch something on that channel!! I loved the opening to that show, and loved Six's fast mouth! I think even Sophia from "Golden Girls" guest appeared on the show.

About "Family Matters": I don't think its popularity is declining. It'll probably come back, like other shows popularity.

honestly, it's pretty dumb for them to be putting BMW on from 1-2 pm..the target audience is teens/pre-teens and they're not home from school by then. even 2-3 pm was too early.

Brent88 · 08-31-2006, 02:46 PM

So Family Matters will now only air 7-8am? That SUCKS!

exparm · 08-31-2006, 03:02 PM

Where's Full House?

JulieSomoski · 08-31-2006, 03:12 PM

Honestly, this schedule looks incredibly misplaced, according to where they are showing everything. Right now, I love the lineup how it is, because I enjoy watching all of their current sitcoms. Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, first of all, probably won't do any good anyway, just because of the type of show it is. And why would ABC Family move Boy Meets World to 1:00 and 1:30, when its target audience is still in shcool at that time. Again, when it moved to 2:00 and 2:30 that was already pushing it, because still kids were in school and not able to watch it. Now Family Matters is stuck in the arliest spot possible, on twice for 2 days of a week? Well, at least Step by Step is still airing at 10:30, which isn't that bad. The only thing is, I would rather watch family Matters over Step by Step any day. PLus, why is Full House still airing 4 times a day? I mean, if they would take away 2 of those airings, they could put on an hour of Family Matters, Step by Step, or a half hour of each.

Well, this is another channel that I probably will be switching off on my TV.

Yeah, that does stink. But 14 times a week (7-8am 7 days a week) starting Oct. 2 is not that bad. But it will be airing 20 times the week of Sept. 25 (7-8am and 1-2pm)..but I think 1-2pm is just encores of 7-8am.
