Why Didn't ABC Family Keep This Show Airing For?


I remember about 4 or 5 years ago this use to be on ABC Family Channel and then they changed the format of the show with other shows instead. I really loved this show and would have loved to seen it continue on you know on TV. This is a great show to watch and I loved it a lot!

When "Life Goes On" was on ABC Family, it was actually the Family Channel, which had a much more conservative line-up. Around the same time, the Family Channel aired "The Wonder Years." PAX also showed "Life Goes On" and has recently changed the the "Ion" station. They are replaying episodes of "The Wonder Years" and I'm assuming they still have the rights to "Life Goes On," so hopefully they will begin to rebroadcast some episodes soon.

In ways I liked the programming that Family Channel had rather than what Fox Family did and ABC Family. I remembered watching classic movies and shows on The Family Channel and then when they allowed Fox to come in and change the format of what they showed and even ABC I sort of was not too happy about it. They even showed The Three Stooges on The Family Channel which was great to watch! If Family Channel was still running it they would have had a marathon of The Three Stooges tomorrow. I remember this from 11 to 12 years ago.

Yeah I would love to see more of Life Goes On! That was a great show to watch! Thanks for the information!

Hey, that would be cool if they started showing 'LGO' again in re-runs sense there seems to be nooooo season two ever coming out on DVD! ABC Family is pretty cool but I've noticed that they are playing more updated family show's like '7th Heaven', 'Gilmore Girls' & 'Smallville'. and as for ION, I've noticed they don't keep show's on there very long, both 'Growing Pains' & 'The Wonder Years' didn't last long, it's like they played she eppies thru out the series then let them go, although they seem to love 'Mama's Family'. my Ideal line up for family drama's would be 'Life Goes On', 'Our House' and 'Party Of Five'...those were some of the best family show's ever! :-) so we can hope these two networks will think classic one hour family show's and bring them back! oh thanks for the rant! LOL :-)
