Notorious 12-28-2001, 07:38 PM i thought you all should know this. classic tv lover posted this under the general board 'classic tv hits.com':
CLASSIC TV LOVER-
:wave:Great news classic tv fans. The new management that was running NAN and messed everything are leaving because they have been bought out by the former good owners. Maybe you have noticed but the announcer with the annoying voice is gone and they brought back the original announcer. The good news continues!! All you Pop Up Brady fans there will be a special evening of those episodes including new pop up ones. The good news continues with The Facts of Life returning to NAN in February with this schedule....
SUNDAY - THURSDAY: 8:30, 9:00, 5:00
Friday and Saturday: 11:00, 5:00
Before this airs there will be a special week long marathon in the end of January welcoming back the show. It will be the same one seen with AJ Benza in September 2000 called The Facts of Life Unhidden Mysteries Marathon I called NAN and spoke to a representative who gave me this information. She also told me that the Un-realathon is not returning this summer. THANK GOD!!! It will be Block Party Summer just like in the past. Anyway I will update you with any more NAN information.
Warm & Fuzzy 12-28-2001, 07:45 PM AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! That's 7 days a week! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

This is false, I specifically asked this to someone from TV Land and it's not coming back in February. He said it could come back in March although that appears unlikely. It's a good sign that they are bringing DS back as if it does well they could bring FOL back as well. Classic TV Lover's other information appears to be true, but I don't think he has the correct info on FOL.
It's way too early to get your hopes on this until anything is officially announced. There have been way too many false alarms in the past...
Kay Scarpetta 12-28-2001, 08:14 PM EW EW EW!!!!!! *stomps feet* I read the first post, I tell the somewhat 89 FOL people on my Buddylist that FOL is back, and now I have to go make them cry. HMPH.

Same song,same dance.
Thanks for clearing that up for us,TJ.
ZeldaGilroy 12-28-2001, 11:04 PM I knew this was just too good to be true. BooHooHoo!!!
DarleneIllyria 12-29-2001, 12:41 AM Aw damn. I wanted to get more episodes on tape, so I had my hopes raised. We can still have hope guys, just hope in March its back. Afterall, if they have new owners maybe they are fol fans. Its a good thing N @ N is getting owners, maybe they'll do something about the million episodes of Cheers that comes on every night.
Beruche 12-29-2001, 12:57 AM I'm not going to cry
I'm not going to cry
I'm not going to cry......:crying: (N@N made me cry again)
Kristina 12-29-2001, 12:58 AM Now that the good announcer is back they should bring back their blue design, get rid of Cheers, and add FOL. N@N will get better, I know it :p. BTW why did they fire the old announcer his voice was great I remember when he used to say up next it would be Bewitched, FOL, ILL, The Wonder Years, I miss those days :(
I'll paste below the official response from Nick at Nite/TV Land. I'm closing this thread as there is nothing to discuss further about this at this time.
Here is the official reply from Nick at Nite/TV Land:
The attached message is so riddled with inaccuracies I am not sure I know where to begin. And people wonder why discourage using outside message boards for scheduling information. Whoever posted that information made it up - period. While we understand wishful thinking, it is irresponsible for someone to post such nonsense where it will only disappoint other viewers.
Thank you for taking the time to ask about this.
1) there was no new management running NAN.
2) no one bought anyone out.
3) while it is true Isaac Hayes is no longer the "official voice of NAN" it
is only because his contract was up. No other reason.
4) No new Pop-Up Brady special is planned at this time
5) The Facts of Life is NOWHERE in the February schedule - sorry. And certainly not the AJ Benza special from last summer's launch of the show.
6) No one told anyone about NAN's plans for the summer - those plans haven't even been discussed yet.
7) The following is accurate stunt and programming information for NAN:
