Will ABC Family ever return to making original game shows?

Ever since The Family Channel debuted and was the top channel of the 80's I noticed that what made The Family Channel successful was they used to have their own original game shows and show reruns of game show classics such as the Monty Hall version of Split Second and the original Monty Hall LMAD and I'm Telling with Laurie Faso and they had great game shows such as Baby Races with Fred Travalena and The New Shop Till You Drop and then The Family Channel launched their very own game block that had Small Talk and Wait Til You Have Kids and Shopping Spree.  And then in 1996 The Family Channel launched Family Challenge that was Ray Combs's swan song and they also had a remake of It Takes Two as well.  But have you noticed that as soon as The Family Channel became FOX Family Channel then ABC Family it seems that ABC Family hasn't had an original game show since Alfonso Ribeiro's ABC Family game show was cancelled after one season and it seems to be that ABC Family wants to focus on reality shows and movies rather than game shows.  I think ABC Family should return to making original game shows because it would be a hit or perhaps having a game show block featuring reruns of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Supermarket Sweep Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader and some original game shows as well.  Is there hope that ABC Family could show game shows again?,

I kinda doubt it. Not really the direction ABC Family has gone. IIRC, they showed reruns of Osmond Pyramid for a little bit, but that's the last game show I remember seeing on there.
