NBC airing daytime reruns

How long did NBC air daytime reruns of The Facts of Life?

[RetroGuy2000]

Wiki says NBC reran the episodes "December 13, 1982 until June 28, 1985 at 10 a.m. (and later noon)". I haven't been able to verify this, but it jives with my memories of the time. I know they were rerunning it by 1983, and that lasted a couple of years.

I remember watching it at 11:00 EST while my grandmother was preparing lunch for noon.

It was a long time before I learned that memories "jibe," while Mrs. Garrett "jives."

Might have been 10 CST in my time zone, where my grandmother lived, but I don't really remember. Late mornings, for sure.

Yeah. And it could have possibly been 11:30 for me, but I definitely remember it being in the 11:00 hour. I want to say they aired DS and FOL back to back, which would make great sense.

(If only they'd thought to do that in 1979! )

NBC wasn't thinking very clearly in 1979-1980. Here's Boomer got a 21-episode run!

Here's Boomer was basically a canine David Banner. He just didn't turn into a monster when he got angry. He went from town to town.
