View Full Version : Who do you think will pick up FOL?

I doubt FOL will stay off the air for long, so who do you think will pick it up? Maybe Disney, since they are airing the reunion film. Maybe TNN, because they often pick up N@N's leftovers. Maybe Lifetime, as they don't have a show dealing with girls, so this would help to round out their niche. Maybe USA may even decide to take it back. One thing is for sure though - I have removed N@N from my favorites on my remote now.

I think either TNN or FFC (Fox Family Channel) will pick up FOL. FFC has recently picked up "Growing Pains" and "Wonder Years", so maybe after the reunion movie's rating are seen, they will see what a hit FOL really is.
I agree with you Coily, I know longer watch N@N, unless it's to sit their and diss them for taking FOL off the air and replacing it with such dumb shows.

that would be great if someone picked it up. Fox Family Channel might. We should e-mail them...?

I wouldn't mind seeing Fox Family Channel
or Odyssey Channel pick up FOL. The Odyssey channel has Bewitched and Happy
Days and a few other tv shows, but FFC
would probably have a much better chance
picking up FOL.

I think Disney SHOULD pick it up. If they were to do that I would have new respect for that network. And it would make perfect sence.

As for who I(me, little old opinionless Max) think Will pick it up, I really don't care as long as they follow these two simple guidelines:

1.You must be a channel that everyone here gets.

2.You must treat the show like it was your child; never ditch for any marathon and never cancel it.

I hope it's NOT Disney or Fox Family, cause if N@N won't air the "taboo" episodes, there's no way that these would. Maybe on USA or TNT,TBS, etc.

I would vote for all channels mentioned except Odyssey and Disney because I don't get Odyssey either at home or school and no Disney at home. The reunion show numbers need to be above average for anyone to rush out and pick up FOL though.

"Facts" nds to go right back to USA where it belonged and WGN as well. I never pictured it being on TBS but then again I never imagined Roseanne being picked by TBS either.

I kind of agree with lesliem14, unless the reunion show is spectacular, I just don't see any network rushing to pick it up. Call me pessimistic, but I think it probably will be off the air for awhile, unless it stays on TVLand.

If not, I can't see TNN airing it. I think before Lifetime, I could see We or Oxygen airing it, because they are both new women's channels with not much to offer in the way of programming (at least nothing that has caught my eye). I could see Fox Family getting it, but like others said, I don't want to see that, because they will never air controversial episodes. I could also see it going back to USA.

I think it would be cool if Lifetime picked it up then they would have it all I mean they have Desinging women a middle aged women's show and Golden Girls there elderly womens show now if they pick up FOL they have a show for young women.

I dont remember. I remember I had a pretty good day at school I gotta a- B+ on an algebra test. I knew my mom was gonna be real happy about that cause - She really got off on stuff like that. So I came home I- uh- I called out for her but I didnt- I didnt hear anything so - I went into the bedroom - There was such a - a strange smell I didnt know what it was and then I saw her two feet sticking out from the bathroom and I remember I flashed on the wicked witch of the east you know the one that Dorothy landed on - I went over pushed the door and I thought she must of fallen and hit the side of the sink or the toilet or something....Because the whole side of her head was open - and then - I realized what the smell was - Blood- My god there was so much blood...I just stood there - I just - frozen I couldn't move. Then Finally I heard the front door and I must of screamed because John Jr. came in pushed me out of the way and - and then everyone came Black and Whites - uniforms..They found the gun - put it in a bag.

I knew you were in the living room and I knew you were drinking because I remembered the sound of the ice crackling in the glass as you kept pouring - and I remember thinking - God that must be nice - you know - to be able to drink like that and forget.

Don't take this in a bad way, PLEASE don't! I don't think he was dissing since he said 'I', and some people just don't like certain channel. I don't really like Lifetime either because they make their own credits and the only thing I find worthwhile to watch on there is "The Golden Girls"

Actually, it's posts like yours that makes everyone begin to fight. You all need to accept that it takes different opinions to make the world go round. If Cokies doesn't like Lifetime, well, then so be it. Does that prevent you from liking and watching Lifetime? Absolutely not. So why should you care that someone else doesn't?

The Facts Of Life is an okay show but in my opinion I think the show should air on local stations across the country instead of national stations. Obviously, Nick at Nite ditched the show and I think it wouldn't do any better on any other national network.

Great idea! FOL would fit in perfectly with the other comedies on Lifetime. There are a lot of teens and twentysomethings who watch Lifetime, and there isn't really a comedy on on the network that's applicable to that this group. Plus, I think that there would be a greater chance of seeing the controversial eps. on Lifetime than on FOX Family or the Disney Channel.

Really? I think N@N could learn ALOT from Lifetime. They air three hours of the Golden Girls on ,like, every day of the week!(9am,6pm & 11pm) Now if only N@N could take the hint and do the same for FOL! :-)

LucyFan
10-23-2001, 01:27 AM
Nick at Nite doesn't need to take a hint because obviously The Facts Of Life didn't do well enough for their channel. Anyways, I for one wouldn't want to see three hours of The Facts of Life. I can only take so much of The Facts Of Life and that's it.

Oh really?

What about Three's Company? That not do well enough?

Went from prime spots to midnight in less than a year. And TC was N@N's top rated show.

Anyway, Lifetime is a chick's channel. FOL would fit in perfectly there.

LucyFan, believe it or not, FOL brought
N@N alot more viewers and if I do believe
right, FOL was in the top 5 best shows
airing on N@N, that is when it was on
N@N. So, you shouldn't say that FOL
"didn't do well enough for their channel". Are you for certain that FOL
wasn't doing well enough? Just curious!

I think Lifetime could learn more from Nick:

Lifetime Should Do These Things Nick Does
1)Air the Full Theme! Not the Butchered One!
2)Leave the Credits Alone!

Nick Is Messed Up Though! They Had A GREAT Primetime Lineup With Facts, Strokes, and Company, but they had to ruin it! They could've put 'Ties' on at 8:30 to see how it does, and "Cheers" on 11:00PM-They Did That With TC!

I'm Surprised That FOL & DS are off and TC is on at 12 AM! I mean, FOL and DS had pretty good ratings for cable, and TC entered the Top 3 Cable Programs For Three Weeks Along With WWF! and those TBS Movies!

Nick Has Taken To Much of a Gamble. Now I Hope They Have to Pay For It!

BTW, what the heck is Brady Bunch doing in Primetime? It's been in Primetime for nearly FOUR years! I Wonder What Nick's Been Smoking?

But a lot of people dislike it. It's been there for nearly 4 years, with only 117 episodes, compared to FOL's 209, DS' 189, and TC's 172! All the other shows that have been on that long aren't on before 2 AM anymore, and they both (Jeffersons and 'All in the Family') have A LOT more episodes than the Brady Bunch.

I don't hate the Brady Bunch but I would rather see FOL and DS and so would alot of people.The Brady Bunch has been on for four years and FOL wasn't even on a year!!!and DS less than a year!!!It was only on for 8 months!!!Something is wrong with Nick at nite!!!

Some of those shows aren't for family viewing. The Brady Bunch is for family viewing. It is something safe for the kids to watch. If they stick in the early morning or late night, kids can't watch it. It has loyal followers. I'm sorry that N@N isn't airing The Facts of Life anymore. I love the Facts of Life, too. It is one of my favorites. So is The Brady Bunch. Cheers is another of my favorites. I think they should show only one episode of The Brady Bunch every night. I also think they should show only one episode of each show every night. That way more shows will air on Nick at Nite.

how was it a flop on Nick? it was one of the big 4 shows for about 9 months. Nick just got a little carried away with their "blockbuster" acquisitions of Cheers and Family Ties (I like both shows, but Nick should ditch Cheers, and put DS on at 10, and FOL on at 10:30 instead, while leaving FT on. Cheers is a great show, but it's not a Nick At Nite show, not "nostalgic" enough yet IMO)
