ABC Family Becomes Freeform January 2016
Say goodbye to ABC Family. ABC Family, home of Pretty Little Liars, is changing its name to Freeform in January 2016.
Why the name change and the rebranding? “Freeform evokes the spirit and adventure of our audience. Freeform will deliver new, exciting original content as well as all the favorite shows our viewers already love on ABC Family," ABC Family President Tom Ascheim said.
This rebranding is part of ABC Family’s push to attract ‘Becomers’. “The name Freeform speaks to the mindset and attitude of what the channel has defined as Becomers. Traditionally, Becomers are in high school, college and the decade that follows and are navigating the wonderful, fun, exciting, and scary time in life when you experience the most firsts – first car, first apartment, first job, first love, first heartbreak – all the firsts that exists between who they are and who they want to become. Becomers represent a life stage rather than a generation,” according to ABC Family’s press release.
ABC Family has already started the campaign to target Becomers. Ashley Benson, Lucy Hale and Shay Mitchell were in ABC Family's video discussing their experiences living alone for the first time.
Want to be a part of the Freeform campaign? You can go to FreeformFan.com and submit a photo/video of the word Freeform inspired by the things you love. Your photo/video may be featured in the Freeform campaign. (Ends 11/30/15. Open 2 US&DC/13+. Rules).
Not sure how to feel about this name change. It will definitely take a while to get used to. What do you think of Freeform as ABC Family’s new name? Hate it or love it?

PLL Cast (Ashley Benson, Lucy Hale & Shay Mitchell) Talk About Living Alone
Pretty Little Liars stars Ashley Benson (Hanna on PLL), Lucy Hale (Aria on PLL) and Shay Mitchell (Emily on PLL) shared stories about the first time they lived alone in this “On the Fly” video.
Ashley Benson said “it was a typical eighteen-year-old’s apartment. Messy and so disgusting”.
Lucy Hale's first time living alone was when she was nineteen. “My mom moved out to LA with me from about fifteen to eighteen. She moved back to Tennessee when I was nineteen and was super excited up until the next day when she left and I woke up and there was no one there to make me breakfast or do my laundry,” Lucy said.
Shay Mitchell’s first time living alone was in Canada. “First time living alone was when I moved to Toronto. It was this beautiful character building. Four floors and I was absolutely in love with it. I had my own little balcony, my own little kitchenette. And although it was old and there were a lot of problems with it, it was my own and that’s all that mattered and I had a lot of great memories there”.

Troian Bellisario and Shay Mitchell Scare PLL Co-Star Ashley Benson
Troian Bellisario (Spencer on PLL) and Shay Mitchell (Emily on PLL) pulled off a prank and scared Ashley Benson (Hanna on PLL). Ashley is known to be the prankster on the PLL set (one time Ashley pretended the PLL hair stylist burned her arm with a curling iron). This time, it’s Troian and Shay’s turn to scare Ashley. The three PLL stars were recently together at a photo shoot and posted some bts photos of them having fun together. Maybe they pulled off this prank on the same day?
Troian posted this video of the prank she and Shay pulled off on Ashley. Troian and Shay hid in the dark and screamed as Ashley came through the door. Troian captioned the video “Gotcha @itsashbenzo (ps @shaym and I are evil. Just listen to us laugh)”.
Hiding and scaring people seems to be a common prank on the PLL set. Last year, Shay similarly scared Ian Harding on the PLL set. Another time, the PLL cast jumped out and screamed to scare Lucy Hale (Aria on PLL). Lucy’s hilarious reaction was to drop to the floor. However, nothing beats the fouseyTube prank that left Shay Mitchell in tears when she feared that she was going to get shot in a drug deal gone bad.

Season 1 Episode that Caused PLL Addiction
Do you remember which PLL season one episode got you hooked on the show? According to Netflix, it probably wasn’t the pilot episode.
Netflix did a study examining which episode hooks fans onto a television show. They used viewing patterns to figure out which episode resulted in 70% of viewers deciding to watch the entire season of the show. Surprisingly, the pilot episode of a show isn’t the episode that gets people to stay with a show for the rest of the season.
For Pretty Little Liars, 1x04 “Can You Hear Me Now” was the episode that hooked fans. In that episode, “A” sends a note to Aria’s mom. Aria’s mom finds out her husband had an affair with his student and that Aria kept it a secret.
The fourth episode seemed to be a common episode that got people hooked on a series. Shows like Better Call Saul, Bloodline and Grace & Frankie also hooked people by the fourth episode. Some shows, like Breaking Bad and Bates Motel, hooked people by the second episode.
This data supports using a service like Netflix’s where you can watch an entire season of a show all at once, but be careful about binge watching old seasons of PLL. The PLL cast was in a hilarious video that warned fans about the dangers of binge watching. PLL fans may start going crazy and suspecting that everyone is “A”.
The pilot of PLL was pretty good. Were you obsessed with PLL after watching the pilot episode or did it take some time to get addicted to PLL? Which episode hooked you on Pretty Little Liars?
