How long did NBC air daytime reruns of The Facts of Life?

Wiki says NBC reran the episodes "December 13, 1982 until June 28, 1985 at 10 a.m. (and later noon)". I haven't been able to verify this, but it jives with my memories of the time. I know they were rerunning it by 1983, and that lasted a couple of years.

I remember watching it at 11:00 EST while my grandmother was preparing lunch for noon. :)

It was a long time before I learned that memories "jibe," while Mrs. Garrett "jives." :lol:

Might have been 10 CST in my time zone, where my grandmother lived, but I don't really remember. Late mornings, for sure.

Yeah. And it could have possibly been 11:30 for me, but I definitely remember it being in the 11:00 hour. I want to say they aired DS and FOL back to back, which would make great sense. :nod:

(If only they'd thought to do that in 1979! :lol:)

NBC wasn't thinking very clearly in 1979-1980. Here's Boomer got a 21-episode run! :lol:

Here's Boomer was basically a canine David Banner. He just didn't turn into a monster when he got angry. He went from town to town.
