I plan on getting the series from Columbia House too. I wish they'd be on DVD though. I don't care if it takes a few years to get all the episodes, it will give me something to look forward to each month, the only mail I ever get is junk mail and bills.

It will be really hard affording these tapes. I mean there are 209 episodes in all. 4 episodes a tape. 1 tape a month. It will take many, many years for the series to come out, and it will cost almost 1,000 dollars to get them. Rip-OFf!

So has Columbia House confirmed that they are not releasing FOL on DVD? I really wish they would, because DVD is superior, plus, VHS tape will begin to degrade after 10 or so years.

I emailed columbia house and asked them about if them releasing the facts of life on video in april was true or if it was a rumor and if they planned on releaseing the entire series.. and YES it is true that they are releasing facts of life on video in april but it is NOT true that they will be releasing the ENTIRE series.. the most that they PLAN to release at this point is 40 episodes... (10 tapes with 4 episodes per tape) so... dont be disappointed if they don't release the entire series.. and hey, if there are people out there willing to pay like 50 dollars for ONE FACTS OF LIFE PICTURE on ebay.. i'm sure there are people out there willing to pay 20 dollars PER TAPE (per month) so just cuz you think it's a rip off doesn't giv eyou the right to dis columbia house and their ways.. and i HEARD that Columbia House might lower the price to only 15 dollars per tape instead of 20.. SO DON'T DIS THEM or they might NOT release facts of life AT ALL!

I wish they would put them on DVD...
- more episodes fit on them
- maybe they'll have bonus footage (hint, hint) or behind the scenes stuff or just extras would be nice
- I just like my DVD player more than my VCR (see, the dvd knows how to cooperate, while the VCR just sits there...)
