The program&#039;s name derives from the &quot;20\/20&quot; measurement of visual acuity.\n\nThe hour-long program has been a staple on Friday evenings for much of the time since it moved to that timeslot from Thursdays in September 1987, though special editions of the program occasionally air on other nights.<\/p><\/td><\/tr>\r\n        <\/tbody>\r\n      <\/table>  \r\n    <br \/>\n<div class=\"content_block\" id=\"custom_post_widget-26535\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-25983\" src=\"https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/program-info-provided-by-tmdb.jpg\" alt=\"Powered by TMDB.org\" width=\"250\" height=\"52\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/program-info-provided-by-tmdb.jpg 353w, https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/program-info-provided-by-tmdb-300x63.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/program-info-provided-by-tmdb-350x74.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"line-height: .4em;\"><span style=\"white-space: pre-wrap; font: normal 8pt Arial;\">TV &amp; Movie information has been provided by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/\">themoviedb.org<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ABC News is set to take viewers on an exclusive, all-access journey into the world of country music in a new special, &#8220;Vegas Lights &amp; Country Nights: Countdown to the CMA Awards &#8211; A Special Edition of 20\/20,&#8221; hosted by country music icon Luke Bryan.
