As the 1990s began, one could conclude the company was more conservative than at other times in its history.
But the network did acquire Orion Pictures ' television division in the wake of the studio's bankruptcy ( after a brief attempt at acquiring the studio itself ), later merging it with its in-house division ABC Circle Films to create ABC Productions.
Shows produced during this era included My So-Called Life, The Commish, and American Detective ( the last program mentioned was co-produced through Orion before the studio's bankruptcy ).
These shows were family-oriented, but other shows such as Roseanne were less traditional in their worldview, but were very successful in the ratings.
Home Improvement also strengthened ABC's ratings, as it was constantly rated in the top 10 of the Nielsen's Ranking Chart until its finale in 1999.
