If I Worked for ABC Family...
If I worked for ABC Family and controlled the schedule this is what it would be:
11AM Full House
12PM Family Matters
1PM Step By Step
2PM Boy Meets World
3PM Sabrina the Teenage Witch
4PM 8 Simple Rules
5PM 7th Heaven
6PM Everwood
7PM Gilmore Girls
8PM Original Shows
I would take Sister Sister out, bring back Everwood and 7th Heaven (7th Heaven plays only on weekends). I would take away double airings of Gilmore Girls and Full House, I don't care how popular those shows are. I would bring Sabrina back from the morning hours to the afternoon hours where it would get better ratings.
By putting Gilmore Girls at 7PM I would not watch it waiting for a better show to come on (like 7th Heaven before they moved it to just weekends). I know GG is a popular show, but I just don't find it something I enjoy.
Summer Marathon
For ABC Family, I would've done a summer marathon to air during the Memorial Day weekend. Of course, that marathon would not include Sister Sister and 8 Simple Rules, but since they will appear on the lineup starting June 11, I include them in my Summer Marathon. The rules are the episodes have to be about vacation type trips, like to beaches or Disney World, not just trips away, like where Carol and Frank in Step by Step always like to go to hotels to get it on and stuff like that.

7:30 PM Sister Sister 3.9 Thanksgiving in Hawaii Pt. 1
8:00 PM Sister Sister 3.10 Thanksgiving in Hawaii Pt. 2
8:30 PM 8 Simple Rules 1.22 Good Moms Gone Wild
There is an episode of Sabrina where they go on a trip and Sabrina has to buy Soliel Moon Frye's character a present and SMF's character (I get Morgan and Roxy confused) finds her mom there, but I couldn't find the episode in the list.
Father's Day Marathon
I was wondering, what if I was to create a Father's Day Marathon for ABC Family, what would I show? Well, I was going to use all the sitcoms that air on ABCF, including the two that will be added June 11. In coming up with episodes that fit the theme of Fathers, I saw a lot of Full House ones, so I decided to create one with just Full House eps as well. Here's the Full House marathon:

1:30 PM 1.7 Daddy's Home
2:00 PM 3.11 Aftershocks

The Wonder Years

Thursday, March 15, 2007
ION Television will launch its new schedule on Monday, April 2 with
the additions of sitcoms Alice and The Wonder Years to the weekday
line-up. Closing the ION line-up at 10 p.m. EST will be back-to-back
episodes of the popular sitcom The Wonder Years.
I love this show. I'm so glad they're bringing it back next month. I am going to try to tape every episode. I'm going to do this with Boy Meets World as well. Well, actually with BMW, I'm going to buy the DVDs for seasons 1-3 and then I'm going to try to download as many episodes of seasons 4-7 that I can find on the internet. I prefer Disney Channel or original ABC episodes, but will take what I can get. For what I can't find, I will tape off TV. One day I'll get a program where I can transfer shows to my computer and then burn a CD-R or DVD (depends if I have a program to burn DVDs, I currently don't) so I will always have the episodes. These are two shows that I don't want to lose.
