It starts with the pilot tomorrow, going head-to-head against Logo airings. But GAC Family is better, full closing credits and no ads for trashy shows. And all the FOL airings are on the clock unlike their other shows.

That means they're airing it with syndication edits. I'd rather see full episodes off the clock.

I don't know what "on the clock" and "off the clock" means. But I don't think anyone would air full episodes anymore, not since the 1980s. I imagine everything has syndication edits.

If you look at the GAC Family schedule or TV Guide, many of their sitcoms air in approx. 36 minute segments over 3 hours. So what would normally be 6 episodes over that period is 5, since the extra half hour is taken by 6 extra minutes times 5.

With that extra time GAC shows the full episode, not the syndication cut. Evidently they either chose not to for FOL, or the full episodes aren't available for syndication.

Well then are the shout factory FOL dvds full episodes? And I know the Sony one’s are for sure not.

On most of the DVDs, IIRC, they time out in the 24+ minute range, which would be full episodes. I know there are a few which are syndication edits, probably because they couldn't find the full network-version videotape.

I think most of the Sony ones are full? I mean, they're definitely not some of the syndicated cuts, at least.

Looks like they pulled the Facts of Life episodes off and put Bewitched on instead.

Logo (http://www.logotv.com/tv-schedule) the last time that I checked, is still airing it though.

This channel gives shows virtually NO CHANCE.

They also gave up on Silver Spoons and Father Knows Best rather quickly. It seems like GAC Family is as of now, heavily dependent/reliant on Bewitched, Who's the Boss?, and Full House/Fuller House with some I Dream of Jeannie thrown in for good measure.

You have a point, but that isn't to say that GAC Family doesn't have its own issues. As others have said, they are often guilty of not airing shows on the clock.

CTV's website has all nine seasons of TFOL on their website unedited. If you don't live in Canada though, you'll need a VPN device to view them.

It is so nice to have FOL back on GAC Family (12 hour block Mondays from 6AM-6PM).

Now on Tuesdays; I believe it shows 12 episodes, and then reruns the same 12?

I was watching the episode "Flash Flood" on GAC Family tonight and was surprised to see a cold open I don't recall ever seeing before. It features Mrs. Garrett and Molly sitting on the couch> Molly shows Mrs. G the cover of the 2/25/80 Time Magazine with Dan Rather on the cover. Does this cold open appear on the DVD set or streaming services?

Hi everyone!
I'm new to this board (but a big fan of FOL!) With the holidays here GAC has dropped FOL again :-( Hopefully it'll be back again after the holidays.
