Although I have been reading this message board for awhile, I just began posting today. I too am a first generation Facts of life fan.
It is nice to know there are so many new fans out there too!

so am I!! I was watching it in college(1981) I just love it, it brings back so many memories!!

Born in 1972 too and I have to admit, I never watched it because we did not get NBC at that time. My friends all watched it though. I'm a regular Nick At Nite watcher anyway so I thought it was great to see that they would be running FOL. I am watching all these episodes for the first time. It's a great show and brings me back to the 80's, thought I think for the most part the episodes are pretty timeless.

Im sorry, im not a first gen(born in '85),but I still love the show. Im just lending my support to keep the 'facts' on nick-at-nite for a long time.

Yes, I am also supporting Nick at Nite for showing fol, because when it was on originally, yes, we did not have VCR's shudder at the thought!! Have a great day y'all!!!!

What are you talking about?? I had a VCR throughout FOL'S original run. I had a VCR in '76.

yes, i was around when it started showing, but i didn't watch it for a few years, cause i was dating my ex hustband, now i can c: i wasted my time dating him and missing out on the show......what a waste.....

I believe I am third generation, based on something said on the E True Hollywood Story...

first Generation... those who saw the original run.

Second generation- 1993 USA viewers.

third generation- N@N converts.

I am from the 1st generation. But I did not have a VCR back then either. Wish I had though.

First generation, here!!

Tootie: Muffy? Her name is Muffy? What kind of person is named Muffy?

Jo: Beats me, Tootie.

I started watching Wed nights back in 1984 at age 7. I guess that make me 1st generation. The show was syndicated in 1986 for 5 day week airings.

Well..I am not sure what I am..(born in '85) I used to watch it when I was little and could name all the characters!(my mom and grandmother watched it and so did I) So I guess I am a first generation fan too..Even though I am young..When it came on Nick at Nite something just clicked and I new exactly who they were...(I never watched it on USA)

------------------
Jo:"Here's to those who wish me well all the rest can go to...Jersey!"

Jo: "You Promise? You Swear? I don't believe you!"

1st generation here too.

I'm a first generation FOL fan....born in 1971 in NYC.....

I watched the last 3 seasons on it's first run on NBC. but later watched the earlier seasons on WNYW (now FOX). I saw the finale when they first gave it.

Third Generation! http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif

~JO: There were things I always wanted to say to my father........now that I'm older I know better words!
*I am aware this is not exact, but I will watch the episode again and modify it at a latter time, like tonight*

I am a First Generation Facts of Life viewer.I was born in 1954,so I was seeing Facts of Life from very early on.I remember when my Mom was ill and I stayed home with her,we'd watch reruns of Facts of Life togther in the morning.Her favorite was either Jo or Blair.Her least favorite was Natalie.

Third generation "Facts" fan!

I was a first generation watcher I was born in 1984.

I somehow fall into all three. I watched the last two seasons during its original run, but I watched it mostly--and developed a first love of the show--during its reruns in the 90s. And now i've sort of "rediscovered" it on Nick at Nite.

sambino, if you were born in 84, you are a 2nd generation. You would've only been 4 when the show was canceled.

I am from the 1st Generation, I remember watching it everyday and I was young too. I was excited when I heard that it was coming to Nick at Nite. Because also I wanted to see it again and now I tape them. I even remembered the cast of the show too.

okay but I remeber watching it during its original run. Even though I was 4 when it was canceled.

2nd generation (I was born a few weeks into season 7!!), but I watched it on USA.

I was born in late '86, so I'm 2nd generation! I'm a Season 8 baby! (Even if Season 3 is my fav.)

Mr. Bradley: .....and that girls is the thrill of victory!

Tootie: Or the agony of DA FEET!

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

(Tootie starts rambling)

Natalie (thinking): I am going to nail her mouth to the floor. I can picture it now there'd be a spike through her tongue, but the lips would still be moving. She'd just keep whining on and on about how she'd never do that to me because she's my best friend. And if it made me feel guilty about nailing her mouth to the floor than she's glad I did it and......
(stops and realizes everyone's looking at her)

Alas, I'm a third generation FOL fan also.
(Sigh!)

I am a first generation... I was 3 years old when the show began, and my family always watched it.. I literally grew up with Facts of Life and Diff'rent Strokes. I don't remember the earlier episodes of Facts of Life very well, but I remember being with my older sisters when they watched it, and they never missed it.

Yep, I'm a first generation watcher. Born in 1967, I grew up watching the FOL. I did not pay much attention to the later seasons because I was in college.

I am a first generation fan.. i was born in 1981.. so although i was young i remember vividly watching it with my mother every week... the nbc saturday lineup of the 80's was great, facts of life, golden girls, empty nest, ect...

I am a first generation fan, born in 1981 i can remember vividly watching it with my mother.. the nbc saturday night l;ineup of the late 80's was great.. Facts of life, golden girls, empty nest, night court...

my parents used to watch it. born in '86 the only of FOL that i used to watch was when the theme music came wod just stand there and stare at the screen and listen to the music. For some reason if my parents liked the show so much then i wonder y they didn't watch it the '90s? well, oh well.

Wow, I'm really impressed at how many first generation FOL fans there are here. I'm a 1st generation as well. I was born in 1978. I didn't see the first couple of seasons when the originally aired, but I saw them in reruns during the off season. I grew up watching FOL :)

I, the Time Lord, was born in 1962. Physically, but in truth, I am older than the sands of time. I monitored the Facts Of Life in my Time/Space Pod and enjoyed it immensely. HARRRRRRRRR!!!! THAT WACKY BLAIR!!!!!!!!!:lol: The portals of the time/space continuum will echo with her laughter forever.

Greg...uhm...did they sign you out of the looney bin, or did you escape?!:lol: :lol: :lol:

Anyway, I am a second and third generation...cause...I was born in April of 88 and I remember watching it...vaguely...on USA with my mom...during the summer...and then, it came on N@N and I was like..mom, remember that show with that weird red-headed lady(I know, it's scary, I liked Jo better, then!) and like..the four girls at some school...or something?! Like...Jo..and..Mrs. Garrett...and Tootie and them?! Well...it's on Nick-At-Nite now..lol...the cool thing was that our cable package had just starte including Nick!HAHA!!SOMEONE WANTED ME TO SEE THAT SHOW!!! I remember seeing the episode where Mrs. Garrett leaves on USA though...I HATED THAT!! I didn't like Mrs. G as much as I do now, but, I still thought she was cool!(once a Mrs. G fan, always a Mrs. G fan!;)) I also remember seeing the Austraila movie...but...I don't remember if it was on N@N or USA...it's kinda strange...not the movie, but, my memories of the show...

Well, as a matter of fact, I escaped. But don't tell anyone.;)


Hey, if anyone wants to get their own Time/Space Pod with cable hookup, your friendly neighborhood Circuit City is running a special. First 100 customers get a jar of orange or grape flavored Tang...you know, like what the astronauts drank?


What a deal.:D

What are you talking about?? I had a VCR throughout FOL'S original run. I had a VCR in '76.

Well, I was born in late 1975, and I remember the show and seeing previews for "Mrs. Garrett takes off to Eastland to learn The Facts of Life." I remember watching the show as a kid because it just cracked me up with the silly humor.

I wish I had used our VCR to tape shows. Fortunately my parents didn't follow my advice when we bought our first VCR. I was about 7 or 8, and I told them to buy a Beta because the tapes looked cooler. I'm glad they didn't listen to me! ;)

Hey Lizzie, when you think of me, is this what usually comes up?:ufo:

Did that smilie work???:confused: :ufo:

Yes dear, it worked.......












:crazy:

I wasn't born yet when the show started I was born in 1982 but I did watch the last 2 seasons when they originally aired on NBC and I also remember watching the show when NBC had it as reruns then I hadn't seen it till it was on Nick at Nite because that year when they aired it on Nick at Nite was the year we finally got cable.

I was born in 1973, so I'm a first generation fan too!
