Discovery Family's Saturday, Sunday and Monday nights are programmed with a bit of something for everyone - from animated favorites like Robots (20th Television), to classics like Annie (Sony), to timeless comedies like The Beverly Hillbillies (20th Television), to throwback hits like the Back to the Future trilogy (NBC Universal).

"As the leading television destination for families in the United States, Discovery Family is dedicated to offering reliable, entertaining and appropriate content 24/7 for the entire family," said Tom Cosgrove, general manager, Discovery Family Channel.
