It will air weekdays at 7am. The Hub and TeenNick? When did this show become popular all of a sudden?

Story tomorrow on the blog for the official announcement.

Stuck In The '70's: MeTV doesn't have the rights to Facts of Life. It must be airing out of the network and a local buy for your station that preempts regular MeTV programming.

Well if they treat it the same way they did Growing Pains they will pull it off in a couple weeks.

Yea my local affiliate preempts quite alot of ME-TV programs. The station also airs The Cosby Show, Family Ties, Little House on the Praire and Coach. I don't mind it when they air them but I wish the station would cut out all the religious programming and infomercials..

After doing some research into this, I found out that the station you are referring to is WGCB 49 in Harrisburg, PA. It has some of the MeTV schedule mixed in with its own shows, including FOL, oin 49.1 and it has the entire MeTV schedule on 49.2. I wish I had this channel just for the Facts of Life. I also wish I had MeToo from Chicago for Diff'rent Strokes on Saturdays.

Late last week, The Hub acquired three sitcoms to air in primetime beginning in April and one of them was The Facts of Life. That is still happening and we can't wait for that, but if you can't wait another month or so, TeenNick will ALSO air that totally '80s sitcom! Oooh, there's gonna be troubbbbbbbble! OK no, there's no trouble of two networks airing a show, as we all know. TeenNick will begin airing the Diff'rent Strokes spin-off on Monday (March 12, 2012) bright and early every weekday morning at 7:00am. It's early in the morning and just a half-hour, but it is certainly better than nothing! Facts of Life will replace one half-hour of Big Time Rush, which remains at 7:30am. Facts of Life will follow a block of Full House which airs weekday mornings from 5-7am. No other schedule changes are occurring on TeenNick besides this one. As of now, no other special marathons or airings of Facts of Life besides the weekdays at 7am slot. I guess 'you take the good and you take the bad.' Mmm hmm! Stay with us for continued updates!

Yea that's the station. I don't get the digital channel. They air Most of the overnight shows on ME TV plus Bob Newhart and That Girl in primetime. Then they also air a few shows during the day. From 4-7:30 they have their own syndicated shows like FOL. It's a good channel but I wish they would air more ME TV programming.

I was thinking of the last time it was on when they aired it at like 3am once a week.

So it's back tomorrow with Season 3 (not sure why they are starting there but that's OK) and it looks like it's going by production number (on TeenNik). Glad they are back! :D

I don't have cable and I was wondering if someone could upload some FOL episodes to youtube recorded from TeenNick. I'd like to see what they look like there.

The order in which the episodes were actually produced (filmed).

These are great copies of the episodes. The quality is good, they only take one long commercial break, and the closing credits are in tact. It's nice to not have the episodes all chopped up.

It's just as well. TeenNick isn't a good fit for old sitcoms, anyway. Especially not ones that haven't been seen at all by the current generation of teens.

Maybe Viacom can move it to TV Land.

The show is on the HUB tonight at 9:30pm and it's TOO OLD and YOUNG for TV LAND

I liked that Teenick had started at Season 3 because I was hoping to be able to get some of the later seasons. I also liked that they showed complete un obstructed end credits something The Hub doesnt do. However The Hub has shown that they will stick with a series so hopefully they show the complete run of The Facts of Life.

I just think it's amazing and totally random that TeenNick picked the show up to begin with. All the other sitcoms running on the network came directly from Nick at Nite (I know The Facts of Life once ran on Nick at Nite, as well, but that was over a decade ago).

I wonder how long Viacom/TeenNick has the rights to the show.

I agree, but to air it for just a half an hour at 7:00 AM? Why even acquire it in the first place? It makes a lot more sense on The Hub in a block with other sitcoms from around the same era.

Well, its been pulled from Teen Nick as well. However, it does have an airing as of 4/9/12 according to my DVR so I wonder if that'll change? The first four seasons I can see being on TeenNick but it changes course in season five as the girls get older. I hope it remains on TeenNick but The Hub is a good spot for it.

The Hub at least looks like they have plans to keep the show for a long period of time. The only decent thing about it being on TeenNick was that its credits were in tact. TeenNick's schedule was too inflexible to accomadate a great show that spanned for many years. If you want to depend on watching the show everyday, you should count on The Hub which picked up two other shows so they seem to have some sort of thought out plan for a successful line up.

According to the settings on my DVR, the Facts of life will be back on Monday the 9th at 7am. Why they are only taking it off for only 4 days is a mystery.

It's not coming back on the 9th. Listings are not updated.

I dont understand TeenNick sometimes. They get rid of Facts of Life after, what 2 weeks? Its not the first time they've done this with tv shows. Why do they bother picking up these shows if there just going to get rid of them as soon as they get them.

Btw, I like The Hub are showing the episodes from the beginning. Thats another problem I had with TeenNick. They started showing episodes from season 3 and they were all out of order. At least show them in order if your going to skip the first 2 seasons.
