Hi, I have been browsing these boards for sometime now and finally decided to register. I have been a fan of AITF for about a year. This past weekend, it was fun to see all the Christmas episodes of classic TV shows (AITF included) on TVLand. I'm glad they're showing ABP now too. I was not around when AITF first came on (I was born in 1978). But now, I have collected the episodes on the Columbia House tapes and taped other episodes from TV and enjoy them. The tapes are better to watch because you see the full episode. I don't like how N@N cuts up the episodes, they take out entire scenes and dialogue. I was also able to get most of the episodes of ABP on tape from someone who was very kind to tape them for me (they were from Philadelphia UPN 57). The only ABP episodes I do not have is the two-parter "Growing Up Is Hard To Do." Seems like no one has that one. But I'm still glad they're showing it on TVLand (I wish they'd show all the episodes though) so that way others can enjoy ABP too.
I've recently dabbled in AITF/ABP fan fiction. I don't know how you feel about fan fiction, but it's interesting and fun to write. I read the fan fic about Edith's death and that was excellent!
I've written my own AITF/ABP fan fic about two weeks ago. Besides being an AITF fan, I'm also a Beatles/John Lennon fan. ABP was on when John Lennon was killed on December 8th, 1980. I wrote an episode (and created a character who was a big JL fan) about how Archie's still dealing with Edith's death and how the character and Archie react to JL's death. If you're interested in reading, I can send it to you.
I also have an AITF page. You can find it at:

This sounds like a fun board and the people sound very nice. I'm looking forward to having discussions about the greatest show in television history! ::wave:

Hey thanks for your opinion about the Edith's Death script. I took some major time in writing it to match the time period. Welcome to the boards!

Oh, I could tell it must've took you some time to write yours. The dialogue was great, I can really see the characters saying what you wrote. And I even got emotional during the death scene. That was heartbreaking! With my fan fiction story, I tried to keep it with the times too. Would you like to see my story? I called it "Starting Over." Let me know if you're interested in reading....
