Before ABC experienced its success on that night during the 1980s, its Friday night schedule consisted of hit comedies such as "Webster" (which remained on Fridays until its cancellation by ABC in 1987, only to subsequently be renewed by Paramount Television as a first-run syndicated series), "Benson" (which would be cancelled at the end of the 1985–86 season) and "Diff'rent Strokes" (which moved to the network in 1985 after being cancelled after six seasons by NBC, only to cancelled by ABC following its seventh and final season). The block of predominantly family-friendly situation comedies was inaugurated in the 1988–89 season with three series that were already part of the Friday lineup ("Perfect Strangers", "Full House" and "Mr. Belvedere") and a sophomore series new to that night, "Just the Ten of Us" (a spinoff of "Growing Pains", which originally aired on Tuesdays for its abbreviated first season in the spring of 1988).
