Those "TGIF" series that had reached, or come close to, the 100 episodes necessary to be syndicated were offered to local stations for a time period, after which they were sold to cable channels. Disney Channel aired re-runs of "Boy Meets World" from 2000 to 2007 and briefly in 2014 (with select episodes from later seasons – particularly, seasons 5-7 – being edited and three other episodes being banned altogether due to mature subject matter) – the latter instance was part of a programming stunt to promote its sequel series, "Girl Meets World", focusing on the children of the earlier sitcom's principal characters Cory Matthews and Topanga Lawrence-Matthews (and airing in the same Friday night time slot as its predecessor). ABC and Disney Channel sister network ABC Family has rebroadcast episodes of "Boy Meets World" (2004–2007 and since April 2010), "Full House" (2003–2012, and briefly during 2013), "Step by Step" (2001–2010), "Family Matters" (2003–2009), "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch" (2007–2011) and "8 Simple Rules" (2007–2014).
