Which sitcom was Full House placed after during its second season?

Full House was placed after Perfect Strangers during its second season.

The scheduling change helped transform Full House from a struggling new sitcom into a much stronger performer. Perfect Strangers was already an established ABC hit, so placing Full House immediately after it gave the younger series a valuable lead-in and exposed it to a larger audience.

Both programs were associated with the Miller-Boyett production team, which also produced later family-oriented hits such as Family Matters. Full House’s second season aired from October 1988 through May 1989, and its improved ratings helped secure the show’s long-term future.

The relationship is sometimes confused with the later TGIF lineup. Full House became a signature Friday-night ABC program beginning in 1989, while Perfect Strangers also became closely associated with ABC’s family-sitcom scheduling. But for the specific second-season placement asked here, Perfect Strangers is the canonical answer. The successful pairing helped Full House move from a vulnerable early slot toward a prominent place in ABC’s sitcom strategy.
