We're used to seeing canceled network shows land on streaming, but it's far less common for a show to hop from one broadcast network to another. That said, if ever a show felt like it belonged on CBS, it's the 2019 ABC revival of Kids Say the Darndest Things. The Tiffany Haddish-hosted series kicks off a new season at its new home tonight.
