Like none of my friends watch it. My sister likes fol almost as much as i do, and my mom likes it too (and my brother), but that's about all!

I work at a youth recieving center (where most of the kids are Juvinile deliquent types) and we do activities with them. I'm in charge of the cultural activities. One night we didn't have anything planned, (we couldn't leave because we didn't have enough staff there anyway...) I decided to teach the youth about the 80's to give them culture. We pegged our pants and rolled up our sleeves and watched two episodes of FOL. And some of the kids even liked it and asked me when it came on. So if these kids that are used to going to detention centers and being arrested can like it, then anyone can

I realized the last part of what I said, was a little confusing. I meant that anyone can become a fan.

Conversations with my friends usually go something like, "You will never believe what I watched last night! The Facts of Life!" That usually leads to a "Ohmigawd! Me too!" But then it's a big dose of nostalgia for us since we were the same age (as Blair and Jo) & doing the same stuff.

The spring break one is a particular hoot because they got *everything* so dead on. The clothes, the condo, the bar, the whole "gotta get a tan" mentality! Well, we didn't have a hurricane, but you get the idea.

I have 2 friends who LOVE FOL too. One of them was slightly younger than me (he's 19, I'm 21) so he has memories of watching it in the 80's and the other one is slightly older than Kim Fields so he was a first-generation diehard. Some friends hate it, some friends like it, but only 2 of them watch it as much as I do. But I also made a friend who is my age just from the fact I have FOL in my AOL profile as my favorite show!!
