You don't own them uncut with the 2-3 minutes per episode that Nick at Nite has edited out.

Are you going to buy them?

Notice the videos have subjects and are not in order. Maybe in the future, there will be one called "Maturity" or somethin, and it will have Ready or Not and The First Time!!! Woo Hoo!!!!

------------------
The Facts of Life are all about You!

Wouldn't that be a hoot! I could only imagine how much constroversy that would cause. That's a good idea though. Let's think of some subjects! Something like "Cooking and Creating" with ones like A Slice Of Life and Dieting. Or maybe like "Father's Day" with ones like The Secret.

------------------
Andrew Carden

I will most definitely be ordering the set.

Just rememeber that buying the series will cost a lot of cash. That's 209 episodes, and $20.00 for 4 a tape. The bill will come to....$1,040.

I emailed TJ about this discovery thank you very much!! (hehe.. jk) I got an email from columbia house after i asked them about Facts of Life being on video saying that they had them available already.. I called the 1-800 number right away this afternoon and the lady said my tape is on it's way.. i cannot wait!! see you all later! http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif

Hey Sara or anyone else that knows:
When you call do you have to use a credit card or can they bill you and then pay by check. I would rather pay by check then use my credit card, but I have to pay my car insurance bill and registration before I order anything!

If you order by phone, I believe you have to use a credit card. But if you order via the regular mail, you can pay by check or money order and they bill you for every video when it arrives.

With a check it will take longer to recieve though, because they have to clear and all that stuff.

Just out of curiosity, if I wait until later to start my subscription, will I be started with the current volumes, or will the still start me with the ones listed above? I'm not a huge fan of the Season 1 episodes and don't really want to pay $20 for them.

That's not how it works, the videos are split up into different categories. Like the Mrs. Garret tape has episode revovlving around her. The parents tape has episodes revolvong around the girls relationships with their parents.

are u guys sure there releasing the whole series? thats over 50 tapes, I don't know if thats possible for them. Has it been done in the past? I mean I'll order if they have the drug related eps. and the eps. that nick don't want to air. I'll wait a while and view it. And I'll see if it suits for me to buy it. I probably end up buying it any way. It'll take years for them to come out with the whole series on tape. But hey it'll be cool, I'll buy it if its the whole set. expensive but you'll be paying it little by little anyway. So theres no difference.

That is a lot of tapes. They have released many tapes of All In The Family, but not the whole entire series. The Facts Of Life tapes are split up into different categories. The categories are like Brothers and Sisters, Parents, Graduating Episodes, Parents, Weddings, stuff like that. You will get 4 episodes on each tape for $19.99. I bet you, that they won't release the WHOLE series, but they will release a good 10 different tapes. I know it's just my opinion, but I don't think that they will release a tape with all of the drug episodes on them. Theyb may release "Dope" if they have a tape that is called "Star's of the 90's In 80's Sitcoms" because Helen Hunt was in it, and they might do "Breaking Point" if they have some like "President" one, because Blair wqas running for class president. I can't see them doing Fear Strikes Back or I'm Dancing As Fast As I Can, unless they have a special "Boyfriends" tape. The First Time might be on a tape called "Growing Up", but I honestly doubt it. Plus, it will take a few years for the series to come out.

Im gonna e-mail them with a list of controversial eps and see if they have plans to release any of them on video!!

The Facts of Life are all about You!

You go do that now, ya here?

------------------
Andrew Carden

Wait - are both of the intro videos (that have just been released) just $4.95 each ?! Or, is one 4.95 and the other 19.95 ? Please answer !

I think that the Mrs. Garret tape is the inrtoductory one for $4.95. The other one is $19.99.

Andrew Carden

callmetootie, why are you so against these videos? It's Columbia's best idea!!!!! They are expensive, but when they come out with a controversial tape, you'll change your mind!

I admit that it's one of the best things Columbia House has done, but if they're gonna relese one, they better relase them all!

If a lot of people buy them they WILL release them all!! they only start out with 10 tapes... 1 each month and then if sales were REALLLY good they will release more... so if everyone buys them or joins the club at some point then you got your entire set hit and slam dunked! http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif so go and BUY THEM!!!
