I don't know if this topic has been posted before but if it has I'm bringing up again for newbies like myself! I'm just curious about why each of us watches it. Is it for the different characters, the stories, the reality aspects, the era, etc.
I like it because of the friendships and because I am dedicated to Jo/Nancy McKeon plus a lot of it feels real.

I like it for all of the above but Jo kept me hooked.

I like watching FOL because I can see a little part of myself in each of the characters, especially in Jo.

Gabrielle: Argo dosen't like me. Xena: Sometimes, you have to have patience with things that annoy you. Gabrielle: I never said Argo annoyed me. Xena: I wasn't talking to you.

One word: Natalie.

Andrew Carden

Three words: Mrs. Garrett; Natalie!!

Blair: (reading from a book) Her face flushed hottly. At that moment, he kissed her (laughs)
Nat: Great Blair! You've gone from food to sex and I can't have either!

Lots of different reasons: the humor, the message that each episode has, the characters, Jo/Nancy, and the uniqueness of the show.

------------------
"You're old, you're ugly, you live with it!" - Jo
*************************
"Why would you want to be popular? You have to smile and talk to peple and all that stuff!" - Jo
*************************
Rose: So, Jerry, ever dressed up like a horse?
Jerry: No, but thank you for asking!
*************************
"Get back here, you deceitful little Sicilian gecko!" - Dorothy Zbornak
*************************
"I've got PMS and I've got a gun - any questions?" - Jinny Extead

A lot of reasons; the lessons, the comedy, the tragety, and the characters.

Well, I would say NMK, but I didn't know her when I first started watching the show (gasp!), so I'll have to say that what first got me hooked was how funny it was, then I really started to like the characters, and I like the morality of the show. It's not your typical teenager show like today where they're all doing drugs and having sex... then NMK made me really get into it. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif

Jo: Partners? You mean 50-50? Uh, 50-50-50-50-50?
Blair: Good, Jo, we'll let you do the books!

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

And from your two resident off-topic queens, Danielle and I, who are still looking for that 12 step program by the way:

*^*^*~~~God Bless~~~*^*^*

I like it because of the lessons and Mrs.g!!

Nancy McKeon all the way!

On April 24, 2008, Dana and I are going to meet in LA and handcuff ourselves to Nancy McKeon and Jay Harrington, and you're not. Ahahaha!

Jay Harrington is all mine! I don't care what you guys say, cuz he's mine! Not yours! AHAHAHAHAAAA!

Teddy: Hey, I'm making you an offer you can't refuse.

Jinny: Look, you know who I am, OK? You know who my family is. Why the hell do you even wanna be with me at all?
Teddy: Because, I love you.

Jinny: What was she expecting? The welcome wagon?

Jinny: Basically, people are who people are. Your born, you die pretty much the same person. All the rest is just window dressing.

I like it because it's a show that doesn't boar me and I like the humor and all the diff'rent things that go on in the diff'rent eps. Plus I like it because I don't like to watch things where all the people do is swear and act so ignorant, and I can relate to something or someone.

my #1 reason is NATALIE.

I love The Facts of Life because I love the characters & the theme song. If you take the good , you take the bad, Facts of Life is definitely good.

HA HA....I like all the FOL people...a little.....but my number 1 reason is LISA WHELCHEL

------------------
Mrs G: Jo, only twice in my life have I spoke in an arbitrary manner. Once when my ex-husband morgaged our home to pay the bookee and now, GET THE HECK OUT OF HERE OR I'LL BEAT YOU WITH MY FRYING PAN!
------------------------
Blair: Look,I should know a phony when see one.

Jo: Yeah, you should... You spend to much time looking in the mirror!
------------------------
Soft as the rain, your love showers down, warm as the morning you shine...Lord you love each child,each fingerprint each smile, the measuring of your heart, defies the human mark...Lord How High, How Deep, How Wide is this love, of Yours...For mine, can measure the treasure You hold in store... Lord How High, How Deep, How Wide does your heart extend...Just as high and deep and wide, as Your love, that has no end" ~How High,How Deep,How Wide~ from "All Because of You"-Lisa Whelchel, 1984
