Is it true Blossom and MMC ('90s version) are coming to the network or just another vandal posting crap? If it's true, I would die of joy!
Why is this page a re-direct to a ghost link?? 66.32.142.19 22:13, 24 Apr 2004 (UTC)
This needs a complete rewrite in a new point of view, because the first writer didn't take into account that this network was CBN, then The Family Channel, for about fifteen years before Fox or ABC got involved with it. I mean, it wasn't THAT long ago. Mike H 02:10, Jun 27, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] explaining revert
The fact that this entity is owned by the Walt Disney Company and ABC is mentioned in the article and in the article's catigorization. Therefore, the see also section is unnecessary. Gentgeen 06:05, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Closed Captions
I am hard of hearing. Most of your shows are not closed caption and I would like to know why. I have two kids and I like to watch the movies with my kids but I can't enjoy it when I can't hear it or read it. Would you please put in the closed caption so I can watch this channel.
My friend, are you deaf? My neighbor is almost deaf and I can hardly understand a word he says. Anyway, I'm sorry. Try another channel. 71.111.209.99 13:14, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
Uh...this website is not affiliated with the TV station and we therefore have no say over the Closed Captioning choices it makes. This is an encyclopedia article about the channel. --ʀ6ʍɑʏ89 03:21, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Longtime Movies ?
I don't understand what this section is for. Is it a list of movies that are regularly aired on the network, or just a partial list of films that have ever been broadcast on it? If the latter I can't see that it deserves to stay. Also it isn't clear which Chocolate Factory movie is meant to be linked to.--ThreeAnswers 07:09, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
- It is very confusing. I think that we should only list ABCFamily's original movies on it (movies that were first aired on abcfamily). That would be like 3 of those listed plus a few others (there's a full list on their site). I'll get to doing this later today if no one else does. --ʀ6ʍɑʏ89 13:07, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
The Chocolate Factory movie ABC Family holds is the 1971 musical.
[edit] Sign-off
JawToons.com has a whole page of sign-off clips from several stations in the southeast and mid-atlantic. You can find it here.
I found a sign-off of the Family Channel (when it was called "The CBN Family Channel") from 1989. Actually, it's a one-hour "weekly scheduled maintenance." Check out the montage clip with the theme "Together We're Family!" Click here for a direct link to the ASF (Windows Media) file.
Oh yeah, and if you want to comment on this video you can. Mattderojas 02:46, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Channel's Future?
Sheesh, after reading the article, I have to wonder what's going to eventually become of this channel. They're discontinuing Jetix, but what does that mean for weekend programming (at least)? Isn't Disney ever going to elaborate on this?
One thing is certain, if this channel gets sold again, it had better not go to 4Kids...
Heh, just about anyone would be better than FOX. You should have seen what they did to the network eight years ago... it was a total mess! When Pee-Wee's Playhouse is your network's most entertaining series, you know something's wrong with it! --M.Neko 13:39, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
Why, what did they do? Mattderojas 01:35, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Very good question, indeed. However, they currently have programming on 2 networks. Incidentally, I'm pulling off The Hogan Family from the list of reruns. 71.111.216.239 19:33, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Invalid Links
Who keeps adding links to items that don;t even have pages? Like in hte original programming section, it was fine and now there a re ugly red links to NOWHERE!!!
[edit] The Hogan Family
What's The Hogan Family?
- Visit The Hogan Family --Caldorwards4 03:51, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] What is the name of this show?
I remember there being a show on ABC family and I don't think it is listed in the past shows.. it was about a Jewish family and this girl went to Catholic school and made friends with a very materialistic girl.. what is the name of it?
State of Grace it was on back when it was Fox Family
[edit] Movies swapping networks; Sony Family Network?

Just wanted to clear this up: is this just crap or unproven fact? Probably the former. -- M (speak/spoken) 02:23, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
It's crap. I've dealt with this vandal before. -- Gridlock Joe 13:09, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Please Confirm...
I've seen a lot of stuff mentioning future programming for ABC Family, but the only one with anything confirmed is My Wife and Kids. Confirmation for the others (ex.: Blossom would be helpful in proving this isn't a junk edit.

[edit] Keeping the article clean and useful
DO NOT EVER return invalid links, the red links all over the page, only link something if you know FOR SURE it has it's own page, or add the page and link it, didn’t anyone notice all the red in the original movie section, my god, it was too much. Also, I made a separate article for programming; don't make the list on this page so long, if you have to do it, do it on the other page List of programs shown on ABC Family.
[edit] Harry Potter on ABC Fam
Anyone find it ironic that ABC Family occasionally shows the Harry Potter movies, at the same time Pat Robertson denounces them as evil on 700 Club? Wl219 23:24, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- That's what he gets for selling the channel. I agree with Pat on that, but since he sold it (and the original recipent; Fox, has since sold it to Disney), I would think he has NO control over programming whatsoever. WAVY 10 15:26, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Here we go again...
Look what just got added again..
Blossom (Summer 2007) MMC ('90s version) (1989-1994 Season) (Fall 2007)

[edit] Article organization
I made many good changes to the article about one month ago, but still, the continuing problem is programming, so I think whoever moved the programming to the programming page made a really good decision. Also, I added a link to the programming page; it seemed to have been erased in the shuffle. Does anyone else think the history section is too long? 53180 03:38, 18 May 2007 (UTC)53180
[edit] Future Programming
Can someone verify for us if it was ever announced that Blossom and The All-New MMC were being picked up by ABC Family??? I'm assuming by now that the person was falsifying.
[edit] Fillmore!
On TV.com, it states that Fillmore! is goin' 2 air on ABC Family weekdays@3pm. Is that ture? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr. Comedian (talk • contribs) 23:28, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
- Nope. More fan speculation (didn't we have this problem about 6-7 months ago with the Blossom and 1990s MMC edits) WAVY 10 Fan 22:40, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.
