ABC: Family centered comedy (Full House, Home Improvement, The Middle, Suburgatory, Last Man Standing, The Goode Family, Modern Family, Family Matters). Or soap opera esque dramas (Lost, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Revenge).

ABC Family: Teen dramas(Kyle XY, The Secret Life of the American Teenager, The Nine Lives of Chloe King, Greek, 10 Things I Hate About You, The Lying Game, Pretty Little Liars, Make It or Break It, Jane by Design, Huge).
