SO user Icecream has a poll here (https://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?t=406347). Only takes a second to vote for your favorite, whichever show that might be.

You were wondering when this poll would come out? What do the two shows have in common? :confused:

(I almost said, "other than having a housekeeper?", but Mrs. Garrett was never a hk on FOL)

Also: Why is this other show getting any votes? :lol:

Yep. Icecream has been releasing these polls for about a week, now, and had specifically stated there would be a FOL vs. courtship one.

What do the two shows have in common? :confused:

Nothing at all. I don't think that's the methodology.

No idea. :lol:

I voted for FOL in the poll. I never saw that courtship of Eddie show... sounds stupid...

Thanks for your vote, Wawwie! patriot:

I also never saw of TCOEF, but it lasted three seasons, so someone was watching, back then. :lol:

It starred Bill Bixby (yeah, that Bill Bixby), so now I'm imagining that Eddie's father gets a little angry in each episode, and we won't like it when he gets angry. :lol: :meangya:

It just seems like an odd poll. But, I voted (I'm not telling for which :lol:).

Also: Why is this other show getting any votes? :lol:I have been running a tournament of my top 80 sitcoms on the General Sitcoms board. With seeds #1 vs. #80, #2 vs. #79, etc. Once the 2nd round starts the remaining shows will be re-seeded from 1-40.

I see what's happened now. The One Day at a Time folks have launched a campaign against us (https://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?p=5983662#post5983662)! We've been betrayed by our own roommates... er, studiomates!

It seems they're afraid of a little competition.

When One Day At A Time goes up against Holmes and Yoyo, feel free to strike back.

Votes currently 9-9. I’m smelling a recount…..

Actually 10-9 - Courtship of Eddies's Father leading! ;):D:wave:

I wasn't the 10th vote either , when I voted both shows/vote counts were much lower!;)

I voted for FOL in the poll. I never saw that courtship of Eddie show... sounds stupid...

It wasn't stupid!! It was a very cute show that I enjoyed very much when I was in around the 1rst to 3rd grades! :)

I think it was actually based on a movie. It was about a widowed/bachelor Father raising a little boy with the help of a Japanese housekeeper, and there was also a family friend named Norman in the show. It was really cute and funny! ;)

Two very different shows, The Facts of life and The courtship of Eddie's Father, like comparing apples and oranges! But to pick one I went with Eddie's father because I sincerely enjoyed it over Facts of Life! ;)

So you and any one else can bully me all you want over this, I don't really care ! Because how can you judge or comment on a show you never even seen ? I /and I guess the 9 other people who voted Eddie's Father are older folks and have actually seen the show and remember it and liked it!! :)

No worries! Lorimar and 80s Dude and others have yet to cast their votes. And Mrs. Livingston may be our ace in the hole... ;)

That's fine. I really don't care who wins ! I have more important things to worry about in my life ! ;):wave:

Those older folks would probably clutch their pearls if they saw the Facts of Life.

How could TCoEF ever hope to win? I don't know I'd even heard of it.

Also, why actively campaign against Facts of Life? Especially if you haven't seen the other show.

Those older folks would probably clutch their pearls if they saw the Facts of Life.

Maybe "Rough Housing", "Sex Symbol", "Pretty Babies", "Sex Education", "The First Time", "Dope", "Fear Strikes Back", and "Dear Me". But "62 Pickup" seems right up their alley.

Also, why actively campaign against Facts of Life? Especially if you haven't seen the other show.

Mostly because I thought the Facts of Life people would have a sense of humor about something that, at the end of the day (and week and month and year), is totally meaningless.

Ah. I was trying to see where the issue with FOL was, lol.

I’m also shocked it’s 10-10 over there. Another reason I did it was I thought it’d be a FOL blowout. I guess the Eddie crowd around here over the years is strong but silent.

If The Facts of Life gets knocked out early, One Day at a Time will have an easier time of it on the next round.

That Barbara Cooper! "She's doing a pretty good job of helping herself!" :lol:

Older folks as in 58 to maybe 75 or so ? ! :D I'm sure all of us "older folks "have seen The Facts of life ! ;)

I didn't mean to fight or start any trouble, but I got a little defensive when I saw " The courtship of Eddie's Father " getting attacked ! And the people attacking it never even saw it ! :(

Anyway, it really is a shame that it never really was in reruns ! Younger people would have seen it and I'm sure some would enjoy it .;) Lots of young people like Family Affair ! TCOEF was kinda on the line of that but not quite as sugary sweet as FA. ! :)

It’s out there in the streaming world. Both Amazon Prime and YouTube have it for $20 a season.

As long as Barbara Cooper gets to be trophy girl (see season 4, episode 21)

You guys never stop making me smile and cracking me up!

By the way Opus: who is the black haired girl on your profile fighting against SUE ANN??? (that's not our beloved tomboy CINDY lol!)

PS: and that other show you are talking about with BILL BIXTY, Japanese maid and kid sounds fan! (just don't make him angry as Retro said, or else he'll turn into The Incredible Hulk ha ha!)

:lol:

Hey, don't laugh! That trophy is silver! :lol:

Had I known the photo was going to get this much attention, I would have spent a bit more time on it! :lol:

Well I never saw TCOEF either so easy choice. It’s currently tied at 11 a piece

That’s hilarious! Go Sue Ann!

This board is much more popular than the Courtship of Eddie's Father Board. The 4th most recent post is from 2019.

Well it’s a true underdog here and somehow the race is very close!

I would think just about any board would be more popular than TCoEF, lol.

Looks like FOL went ahead!

For now. But you know how sneaky that Barbara Cooper can be. She acts so innocent, like she has to make up sins at confessions, but she spends her free time stabbing teddy bears, kicking guys in the shin, lying about being on the pill, and looking at Playgirl. She's not to be trusted!
