ABC Family!

Haha, one reason it’s a great movie!

I used to watch ABC Family. I don’t watch it anymore. Rarely to be exact. I am only in it for the movies.

I thought ABC Family was a nice channel to go to for family programming. Does anyone still remember when it was the Fox Family channel?

I never heard of the Fox Family channel, when was that?

It was the channel that existed before ABC Family back around 1998. Fox ended up selling it to Disney, so now it’s ABC Family.

I kind of remember Fox Family. Not really. It sounds kinda fady.

No, it’s not. It’s all about "pretty little liars"and stupid, pregnant teenagers. So, basically, people who really exist, and should not be honored with TV shows. I hate all their programming except for Full House(yes, I watch FH. I’m sorry!! :shake:) and the occasional movie. And 25 days of Christmas!!

^ That’s pretty much all that I watch on ABC Family, too. :wink:

I probably didn’t watch it that much then. I know I did when it was Fox Family cause they showed a lot of the cartoons that were on Fox Kids in the 90’s. And I think another reason the channel was changed was because Disney also bought the rights to the Power Rangers.

Flik-E, I wish it still was that clean. Sorry if I sounded defensive or offended you. I’m doing that a lot lately…

I see what you mean, it is called “The Family Channel” afterall.

Now, it seems that the only person in my family that watches ABC Family is my sister, who watches Pretty LIttle Liars.

Flik-e is correct. The purchase of Fox Family by Disney was part of the deal to obtain the very lucrative Saban library which included the re-purposed Super Sentai programs like the aforementioned Power Rangers and the then-popular phenomenon known as the Digimon franchise.

They could never escape the clause put in by the original “Family Channel” to get out of having to air the 400 Club every night.

Being old enough to have lived through all three eras of the Family Channel I can say with much confidence that the Fox Family/early ABC Family era was definitely the best. There was a healthy mix of new properties and old favorites to enjoy. Though nothing original made much of an impression compared to the stuff put out by contemporary Disney Channel, Nick and Cartoon Network, which is why you never hear of them nowadays.

But I’m certain somewhere someone is feeling incredibly nostalgic for The Three Friends and Jerry Show and Bad Dog much in the same way many of us are nostalgic for the days of Even Stevens.

They don’t have internet though. They decided to get a jump on the whole 2012 thing and hid in caves to avoid the apocalypse. They’re still thinking about how it doesn’t get any better than being reminded of how bad dog Berkley was once per episode. He was a very bad dog.

:shake: I hate PLLs. I mean, I hate all their shows. But that one…that one’s really bad. :shake:

My sister ahs been watching the ABC Family channel the most this summer. She’s got like 3 shows she watches on there: Pretty Little Liars, Secret life of an American Teenager, and I think she got into the new Chloe King series.

I watch ABC Family, but usually only when Harry Potter is on.

Really? Well, Harry Potter has been showing on TV in anticipation of the new harry Potter movie.

I like ABC Family wath it for reruns of boy meets world, that 70’s show, still standing, and fullhouse.

It has? Gees, I need to watch TV more. I haven’t even turned my TV on at all this week, I’ve been busy.
