View Full Version : If Facts of Life came back on the air, would you tape every episode?
KristinHerreraFan 08-06-2005, 12:49 AM If some network added FOL, would you tape EVERY episode? OMG I SWARE ON MY MOTHERS NAME THAT I WOULD TAPE ALL 209 EPISODES!!!!!!!
Would you guys tape them? I certainly would!!!
Dean Winchester 08-06-2005, 01:07 AM it'd depend if DVD's are out or not at the time.
KristinHerreraFan 08-06-2005, 01:26 AM I would rather it comes back on the air rather than DVD's because when its on the air I can just tape every episode and it wont take so long. When it comes to DVD, it's going to take soooooooooooooooo long because they release it season by season. Why is everybody talking like fol is going to be released on DVD soon? Get over it. Sony has shown a lack of interest. We have more chance with it airing on TV. So just RECORD THE EPISODES!

Pavanbadal has close ties with Sony and even he says that he thinks we're going to get season 1 and 2 sometime in the near future.
I'd rather have two sets released a year than have it air on a channel and come on at times that aren't convienient to everyone. If it comes on in the afternoon, it's too early for me, if it comes on at night, it's too late for others. Roseanne and The Cosby Show are the only shows on television that seems to be able to air at times convienient to both day-owls and night-owls, and that's because they're on two or more channels. As much as I love FOL, the fans will never be given the options to watch FOL on tv 5 times a day like those.
Plus, on DVD we have a chance on getting the episodes uncut, there's no way in hell we'll see it uncut on Oxygen, Noggin or whoever might air it in the future.
Warm & Fuzzy 08-06-2005, 09:50 AM Yes, most definitely! (I sold my last collection for about $15 because I was fed up. :mad: ) Plus, I can't afford the DVD's. :o
marmalade 08-06-2005, 11:48 AM Probably. I don't have all the episodes, and the ones I have are poor quality.
Brian Damage 08-06-2005, 12:10 PM I would much rather the DVD's, but I'll take anything at this point.
Dean Winchester 08-06-2005, 01:19 PM Yes, most definitely! (I sold my last collection for about $15 because I was fed up. :mad: ) Plus, I can't afford the DVD's. :o
considering it'll be Sony, I'm sure they won't retail more than $29.99 a piece, something like $22 on a place like DeepDiscountDVD, sorta like what Diff'rent Strokes costs. It'll hardly be expensive like Star Trek or The Sopranos.
seventies_sitcoms 08-06-2005, 02:47 PM I would tape up to Blair and Jo's graduation from Eastland. I'd even tape the 1st season. Hopefully they start at the very beginning.
BlairsQueenOfMyJeans 08-07-2005, 03:08 AM Hi - I'm new here. I would defenetely tape every episode. I love Facts of Life. I surely wish some network would bring this great show back! :)
julian bozo 08-07-2005, 03:46 AM I would tape every episode in a heart beat. :)
barwars 08-08-2005, 02:47 PM I wouldn't, because it will eventually come to DVD. I don't really watch anything I've recorded on tape anyways, whereas I watch shows on DVD all the time.
JDS84 08-08-2005, 06:12 PM I would tape every epsiode in Season 2-9. Then when they came out on DVD I would buy them.
Dorothys BestPal 08-08-2005, 08:22 PM Without a doubt, YES! The first season isnt my favorite but it had its moments.
Classicshowsgurl15 08-08-2005, 08:41 PM Since I already have alot of episodes on tape anyway. I think I would like to see it on tv again, but I want it out on dvd bad! I think it would be nice to have it on dvd because you get special features(if they put any on there) and they are uncut, which is always nice.

yep, uncut is a huge keyword. I taped episodes from N@N 4-5 years ago (though not enough to be satisfied) and they all averaged around 19-20 minutes, that is even shorter than the average syndication cut (for instance, the Cosby episodes run 22 mins a piece on DVD and they are missing 2-3 mins each), the FOL episodes on Nick were missing 5-6 minutes so that's almost 1/4th an episode slashed away
