Wow! I had no idea there were so many FoL fans out there! I am just curious, how old are you guys? I am the same age as the girls in the cast, and I used to watch it when it was on the first time. I didn't start watching the reruns until this year, and man it sure brings back memories. I can remember when Jo first came on the show. I told my Mom that has got to be Phillip McKeon's (Tommy on Alice) sister! They look so much alike! Well, anyway I'm glad there are people who like the show, that means it will be on Nick at Nite for a while.

I'm 18 and I did watch the last 2 seasons in there orginal run.

JO: Oh no Tootie, I hate teaching people how to drive... They're always nervous, they make stupied mistakes, and they cry when you slap them.

There might be a clue
Maybe in a book."

Tootie: That's the pot calling the kettle black.

Nat: A flash back within a flash back... I'm so brilliant it scares me.

im 14...i just started watching this fall, but for same odd reason it all looked familar and i knew the characters names once they said them ...weird maybe i say them when they were on USA but i dont think so http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif hehe the show rocks hehehe

Tootie: hot stuff coming through, and the pizza's are warm too!

Jinny: i think i am going to give up men
Magda: you, give up sex?
Jinny: i didn't say i was giving up sex, i just said i was giving up men! to tell you the truth i kinda like the idea of becoming intamate with something that comes with a money-back gaurentee!

Jinny: You sure he's still up and moving around there, Cap?
Captin: Jinny do you really think that a crack about the age of your commanding officer is the smartest thing you could say under the circumstances
Jinny: umm.. probley not
Captin: thats what I thought

I'm fourteen, going on fifteen. I just started to watch the show on a regular basis a couple of months ago.

I'm 17 1/2. I've been watching FOL since the 9th season. I also watched it while it was on the USA networks and just started watching it again in September when they started showing them again.

I'm 11 going on 12 this February 28! I started watching the show starting with the opening marathon on N@N. But I first found out about it and DS when CNN said that Dana Plato (Kimberly on DS) had died. I then started finding out about DS, discovered FOL, www.sitcomsonline.com/diffrentstrokes.html (http://www.sitcomsonline.com/diffrentstrokes.html) www.thefactsoflife.com/ (http://www.thefactsoflife.com/)
and I took off. Now, I'm hooked! (and visit TJ's FOL website, because the very first FOL website on the internet, www.thefactsoflife.com/ (http://www.thefactsoflife.com/) hasn't been updated since not long after it went off USA) Bye!~Mary http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif

Tootie: We are in Troubllle!

Nat: Who wants to be a skinny pencil? I'd rather be a happy magic marker!

ClassicTV Man don't feel badly! http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif

I'm 29 and watched it in its original run, too! I slacked off in the last few seasons though.....

I'm pulling up a chair to hang out with the other old-folks.. Binky, CLASSIC TV, I think we're in good company. I think there are several people in our age group lurking.

Classic TV Man, Binky, coily2 can I join also. I watched it on NBC also.

Jeanie

I'm 23. FOL was my favorite show when i was a kid. I'm so glad that it's on N@N!!!

Binky, ClassicTV Man, and the rest of you "oldsters", you are not alone. I'm also 29, and I also watched FOL on NBC waaay back in the 80's. What a great show! I only started watching it again recently on N@N, and it brings back a lot of great memories of my teen years. Kudos to N@N for bringing back such a classic show!

nope

I'm 12 goin' on 13 April 20th

------------------
Jo: Nobody move!
Blair: Why?
Jo: I lost my shoe!
Blair: Well find it you barbarian!

Blair: There's a lesson to be learned here
Mrs. G: What?
Blair: I feel like that roast!
Jo: Though and shriveled?

Jo: You've proved that Eddie and I are two dumb kids leaning way over our heads with no money, no education, and no chance
Blair: Exactly
Jo:That's why it's gonna be even sweeter when we make it work
Blair: Make what work?
Jo: Ya know tonight I was gonna say no to Eddie but you've helped me realize that he's the only one I can trust and maybe we don't have anything else but we have each other

I'm thirteen (going on fourteen in a few months! can't wait!!!) and have been watching regularly since Sept., watching some episodes when I was home sick and it was on USA, and actually saw part of FOL go to Paris in fifth grade in French class, I just realized it was FOL now when watching it last week!

Wow! So many young ones in here! I'm glad there are some my age though. I'm 32, and I started watching it when it first aired (I was 11). I remember the first season, when Blair came walikng down the stairs; I thought she was sooo pretty. I loved that show! It's nice to see that so many younger people like it. Thanks for all your responses!

I'm almost 13 and have been watching FOL since this fall and I am totally obsessed!

Im 19 and I absolutely adore this show!!

I'm 20, didn't watch it until N@N. My mom hated the show so I didn't see it in the original run and I somehow missed it on USA which I'm still trying to figure out how I did that because I used to watch USA all the time.

Hello, everybody! I'm 36, and I will be (gulp!) 37 next month, so, I guess that makes me the oldest of the bunch.

I started watching FOL in 1982 (my senior year in high school) and watched fairly regularly until the end of the series (my first year of graduate school). I also watch re-runs on our local UHF station in the mid-to-late 1980's and early 1990's.

I am 23 years old and I have watched The Facts of Life since it started on Channel 4. I like Jo, Natalie, and Mrs.G.

I just turned 18. (Today, in fact!) I've loved FOL since I was a little kid, and I was psyked when it came on N@N. Now, I get upset when I miss an episode!

I'm 11 (Turning 12 one day after Nancy McKeon's birthday, April 5), and started watching during the 2nd marathon. I haven't stopped watching it since!

~*Danielle*~

I'm 14 n i luv FOL. When I first saw it i thought it was stupid too. But then my friend Joe kept tellin me 2 watch it n i finally saw an episode wit Jo n i like it. Jo is the best part of the show (well her n Blair)
