ABC had originally slated the return of its “TGIT” lineup on this evening but delayed it one week to air “20/20 Special Edition: America’s First Family: The Trumps Go to Washington” at 10 p.m. The inauguration-eve special ranked second in the hour among adults 18-49 and was a vast improvement over the most recent “20/20 Special Edition” (from Dec. 27, 2016) as well as the year-ago night’s programming for ABC within the 10-11 p.m. hour (“My Diet is Better Than Your Diet” from Jan. 21, 2016).
