Okay, I was just sitting around the Facts of Life Boards, and I was wondering if Hallmark is ever going to have a marathon because most of the networks that had previously aired The Facts of Life had marathons like the USA Network 16 Year Anniversary Marathon, Unhidden Mysteries Marathon, and the Nick@Nite did, a Blair Tootie Project Marathon, and a Revenge of The 80's Marathon, and TV Land did the big Fandemonium Marathon. But now, its time for Hallmark to do a mara-thon, and we all want them to have one, and if they don't we will.

Ideas for Hallmark Marathons:

"Controversial Block Party"(10 epsiodes of the best controversial episodes each night)
"Character Tracks" (Night feauring each Eastland Girl)
"What the Facts of Life taught us Marathon" (A night featuring the episodes that taught us lessons)
"Mrs. Garret at her worst" (The episodes where she not her normal self (mad, mean, to much to drink, bad day and really isn't Mrs. G etc.)
"Eastland Girls, in Trouble" (Where the girls get in trouble, (Steal, Lie etc.)

And Many More, there not the best, I'm sure you can probably think of better made-up marathons. Does anybody have an better ideas for Facts of Life Marathons, this will be fun! So post your thoughts below and have some fun with Marathon Mania!

Mrs. Garrett at her best marathon--there would have to be several of these, as, Mrs. G wasn't very often at her WORST..contrary to popular opinion!:p

hm...

favorite episodes marathon! Hallmark could do an on-line poll!! And we could vote for our favorite episodes from each season on certain nights, the 1st season one night, 2nd season the next night...etc...

uh...

Bad Hair Day marathon?? For episodes that have the girls in one of their WORST hair days...ahem...or hair dooos...which are actually, nowadays...Hair DON'TS

I'll stop now...

"Eastland Boyfriends" Episodes that have the girls involving their boyfriends.

"Disaster Night"

Episodes with natural and relationship disasters:

"Flash Flood"
"Running"
"Breaking Point"
"The Four Musketeers"
"Green-Eyed Monster"
"Fear Strikes Back"
"Out Of The Frying Pan" parts 1 and 2

Not a happy night, but hey, it's a theme. lol

How about "Finally"

This would cover anything, because we haven't had a marathon in so long... :)

Insomnia Help Night: We guarantee the episodes in this marathon to be so boring you'll be sure to fall asleep!

Brian and Sylvia
The Academy
Jo's Cousin
The Big Fight
The Oldest Living Graduate
All or Nothing
Joint Custody
Big Apple Blues



Now that would murder having to sit through all of those.. okay maybe not all of them but the first four definately are horrible. I literally can't sit still during them. lol

How about character nights? Kinda like the old block party nights on N@N:


"Motherly Mrs. Garrett Mondays"
"Too-cute Tootie Tuesdays"
"Wacky Nat Wednesdays"
"Thug Jo Thursdays"
"Fabulous Blair Fridays"

And if ya get really desperate there could be:

"Snippy Sue Ann Saturdays"
"Sporty Cindy Sundays"

where they show a couple of episodes of Sue Ann and Cindy on their respected night over and over and over and over and---LOL! :lol:

Here's a corny slogan that I thought up:

"Head on over to the 'Over our Heads' marathon!"


Yeah, anyway, I'm all for Jayman's theory. "FINALLY"

:rotflmao:

They could do "Jo vs. Blair night," the best of the worst Jo and Blair fights. I know there are a ton of episodes where they fight, but this could be episodes that have significant Blair and Jo fights, like "Best Sister (part 2)".

I disagree. I think The Facts of Life has had plenty of marathons within the last few years. The show does not need a marathon. Hallmark should let other shows that haven't had marathon in a long time (four years or over) have one such as Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, The Lucy Show, & Mork and Mindy..
