Honestly, I don’t have a lot to say to you. I’m a little bit angry, but you probably have your reasons. You’ve left a lot of your closest followers for years a little confused, but I guess you are assuming we will get over it.
Well, WE WON’T. (Ok, yeah, I get the world is not ending because of this). It may be more of a personal issue, and rather satirical, but I am a little bit disappointed at your lack of consultation from dedicated viewers like myself.
I’m not feeling that free. I haven’t really looked into why you changed the name but I feel slightly trapped in a glass case of, “did you change your logo?” and, “will you ever bring the OG name back?” The 25 Days of Christmas still remains a wonderful tradition that excites even the oldest of people during the holidays, but it’s an ABC Family tradition!! You keep the classics rolling in and I can hardly wait, so I can’t really be angry with you for that long, but I’m trying to hold a grudge for a little. I’m trying to stand my ground because I keep seeing this: “ABC Family (now Freeform).” Waste of your time if you ask me!!!!! You certainly caused yourself a lot of trouble because now everyone has to write an explanation to avoid real confusion.
I get that I am a little ridiculous and you would probably agree. I’m about ready to start a petition to “Bring Back ABC Family” and I am convinced that I will be getting a lot of signatures so beware!!!!! This ABC Family fan is not backing down anytime soon. I believe you are looking make it known that your network is not totally “family friendly,” but you can play all of your “not family friendly” shows after the families go to bed.
On the real though, I’ll get over it. You still let me watch “The Polar Express” fifteen times before Christmas and for that I am eternally grateful. You even have “Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory” playing which is not even a Christmas movie but is, in fact, one of my favorites, so maybe you could sense my discontentment in your name change and wanted to alleviate some of my extreme stress. I applaud you for showing “Elf” twelve times in the next 25 days.
Freeform, I am writing to you to express my utter disappointment. Expect a petition to surface soon as I get my s**t together and am able to actually channel my rage into making ABC Family great again. Honestly though, that would be a lot of work and I think I’ll just keep sitting on the couch quoting “Elf” and trying to train my dog to be more like “Santa Paws.” Is it too late to ask Santa to change the network back to ABC Family?
