Hi, again! This is Writerchick78 in New Orleans. I haven't written in a while, but I lurk a lot. So, anyway, I'm miffed that Facts is not currently on Antenna, Me, Cozi, OR even streaming on Pluto. What happened? And, what happened to any of our beloved 80s shows recently? None of those channels show anything from that era at all anymore. I'm such a sad Gen Xer. I lost my soaps, my malls, and now my 80s reruns! I miss knowing I could see some episode of Facts at least once a day. Thoughts?

Hi WC! Some of us remember you! :wave:

Sorry to hear it's not streaming anywhere. If you'd like, I encourage you to get the DVDs so you can have your Eastland fix anytime you want!

I have been reliving some grandmother memories lately by recording lots of Murder, She Wrote on Cozi. :)

Hey, Eighties!! Cozi also has great 90s reruns late at night. I have nothing to watch at the that time because the late shows on NBC have been preempted due to Olympic coverage.

Hey WriterChick! We did not forget you! :wave:

I have no idea where FOL is now being broadcast or streamed, as I watch the DVDs instead. These also have the advantage of mostly being unedited episodes.

Hey, Retro!! I guess I will have to get the DVDs, or I can buy seasons on Amazon.

Wow, I miss talking to y'all! :wave:

Nevermind, WriterChick. You had to be there.

BTW, I'm now a highly-paid vice president in the corporate world.

I, uh, have to make a very important phone call, right now. Important, VP-level stuff.

Like my name, I want to pursue my writing, so I manage a shift at a Mexican restaurant to make ends meet. College can wait. Been there, done that, while still in high school. Remember, don't ever hire your closest friends!!!

Thanks, sweetie, but apparently we don't get Rewind TV in New Orleans. Only in Shreveport (nowhere near here). Carole King freaking rocks, though!!!

I was disappointed last week when I realized that The Facts Of Life is no longer on Pluto on demand, but they do still have multiple sitcoms from that same era.

"I'm making a taco. :D"

I'd forgotten that line!

After three years of serving food and busing tables in the Eastland cafeteria, and then doing food service at Edna's Edibles, you would have thought Blair would have been a better Senor Taco employee.

Hi WriterChick, I remember you :wave:. You should get a ShoutFactory DVD set so you can watch Facts forever :lol:. You can find several episodes on DailyMotion.

If you download the app “localbtv” on your tv or computer, you can watch rewindtv, and many other channels for free. It has a free dvr system, so I record every episode! There’s also some seasons on Roku.

Ugh! That doesn't work from New Orleans, either. I guess it's DVDs for me. It'll be a late Christmas gift for myself with my tax money.

That’s so odd! It says it’s available in New Orleans and Baton Rouge!

It doesn't work in the US at all and it is just Canada only.
