Third generation "Facts" fan!

sambino5 · 01-17-2001, 09:11 PM

I was a first generation watcher I was born in 1984.

Miller15 · 01-18-2001, 03:07 AM

I somehow fall into all three. I watched the last two seasons during its original run, but I watched it mostly--and developed a first love of the show--during its reruns in the 90s. And now i've sort of "rediscovered" it on Nick at Nite.

coily2 · 01-18-2001, 10:03 AM

sambino, if you were born in 84, you are a 2nd generation. You would've only been 4 when the show was canceled.

jamier42 · 01-19-2001, 03:53 PM

I am from the 1st Generation, I remember watching it everyday and I was young too. I was excited when I heard that it was coming to Nick at Nite. Because also I wanted to see it again and now I tape them. I even remembered the cast of the show too.

sambino5 · 01-19-2001, 11:51 PM

okay but I remeber watching it during its original run. Even though I was 4 when it was canceled.

80skid · 01-20-2001, 04:02 PM

2nd generation (I was born a few weeks into season 7!!), but I watched it on USA.

iluvfacts14 · 01-20-2001, 04:08 PM

I was born in late '86, so I'm 2nd generation! I'm a Season 8 baby! (Even if Season 3 is my fav.)

Mr. Bradley: .....and that girls is the thrill of victory!

Tootie: Or the agony of DA FEET!

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

(Tootie starts rambling)

Natalie (thinking): I am going to nail her mouth to the floor. I can picture it now there'd be a spike through her tongue, but the lips would still be moving. She'd just keep whining on and on about how she'd never do that to me because she's my best friend. And if it made me feel guilty about nailing her mouth to the floor than she's glad I did it and......
(stops and realizes everyone's looking at her)

BlairW_1 · 01-20-2001, 06:13 PM

Alas, I'm a third generation FOL fan also.
(Sigh!)

------------------
J: You mean 50/50? Uh... 50/50...50?
B: Good, Jo! Why don't you do the books?
----------
B: A fire! There's been a fire here!
----------
B: And how are we, Aunt Natalie?
N: We are suicidal!
----------
Bailey: They losted me!
----------
T: You mean the agony of da feet!
----------
T: Did I lie?
----------
T: They can't dance? Ha! That's like the pot calling the kettle black!
----------
N: E Pluribus Unum; have a nice day!

I am a first generation... I was 3 years old when the show began, and my family always watched it.. I literally grew up with Facts of Life and Diff'rent Strokes. I don't remember the earlier episodes of Facts of Life very well, but I remember being with my older sisters when they watched it, and they never missed it.

Yep, I'm a first generation watcher. Born in 1967, I grew up watching the FOL. I did not pay much attention to the later seasons because I was in college.

factsoflife · 02-04-2001, 11:54 AM

I am a first generation fan.. i was born in 1981.. so although i was young i remember vividly watching it with my mother every week... the nbc saturday lineup of the 80's was great, facts of life, golden girls, empty nest, ect...
