20/20 is an American newsmagazine series that premiered on ABC in June 1978. Created by ABC News executive Roone Arledge, the show draws its name from the standard measure of visual acuity and was designed as a counterpart to CBS's 60 Minutes, though with a stronger emphasis on human interest stories rather than international or political reporting. The hour-long program has anchored ABC's Friday evening schedule since moving to that timeslot in 1987, establishing itself as a fixture of the network's primetime lineup. While special editions occasionally air on other nights, 20/20 remains best known for its deep-dive investigations into compelling personal narratives and cultural phenomena that resonate with American audiences.
