The show debuted in 1996 on WB network and is the longest-running family drama on air. It was scheduled to end last year after WB pulled the show.

It got a one-season reprieve when the CW network launched last September after the merger of WB and UPN.

The CW initially aired the show Mondays at 8 p.m. but moved it to Sunday, also at 8 p.m.

The show has averaged about 3.4 million viewers in its final season.
