Cool news!

Actually, it's both old news and new news, I think. A few years back, there was news that Leonardo DiCaprio and Jessica Biel wanted to reboot The Facts of Life. Is this the same reboot effort or a new one? I'm not sure. But it's cool that things seem to be moving ahead.

A lot of these reboots aren't very good. I think Fuller House was a decent continuation, although the characters were Flanderized. I'd hope any reboot would have the original, full cast.

Reboot, schmeboot. I don't want a reboot. When I wanna see FOL, I watch FOL.

And that last sentence in the article doesn't make any sense.

Well, it does more if I would’ve posted the whole piece and not just the last paragraph.

I thought at first (mistakenly, I guess) that maybe only the reboot info in the article might be of interest here. You guys watch Collectors Call?

I don't get MeTV, but I know '80sSitcoms watches CC; he had detailed descriptions of some episodes. Not sure about anyone else here.

There were a few episodes on video sites, so I watched them, just for the Lisa content. It's funny because she always mentions how she never collects anything herself; Julie Pie is the one with a trunk full of binders of her Facts memorabilia.

Julie Pie also has a large collection of things from the New Mickey Mouse Club.

Well, her whole basement is a tribute to the New Mickey Mouse Club.

And today being St. Patrick's Day, you could say, "I don't get me TV."

Yeah, I have a handful saved on my DVR: Charlotte Rae, Jim Henson, and I think one or two more. I'm not sure if it's coming back or not, but I hope so.
