Teaser for a episode of Facts of Life was very long. I received a episode in the mail today and I thought the person sent me a episode without the opening credits which tells you how long the teaser really was for that episode.

...odd. It never had teasers before. ON NBC, USA, and N@N, the show just started with the opening credits. Hallmark was the only channel to give it teasers. It was a bit weird to watch at times too because some of the episodes, the teasers weren't even that good. They just picked a joke a minute or two into the episode and do the opening credits, have a few commercials, and come back to the episode. It was really awkward (Well I just butchered that word up) at times because you can still hear the laugh track going from the previous joke.

You mean N@N and USA. NBC had to show teasers because how else would Hallmark be able to show them?-LOL |

For example, Three's Company never had teasers. Say N@N decides to add them. So they skip the opening credits to all the episodes, show a bit of the episode, and then put the opening credits back in after Jack or Chrissy made a joke. Then they'd go to a commercial and come back to the episode. I have no idea why Hallmark did that, but I hated it. They put the opening credits, for the most part, in most awkward (There's that word again) places. |

I don't know about Facts of Life but I do know Hallmark used to show uncut episodes of M*A*S*H when the channel first got the rights to air the show. That was a while ago. I've since heard they stopped showing M*A*S*H uncut but seeing as I only get Hallmark for half the day I can't really check.
