Revenge of the 80's? - Page 3 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Well I think the thing that tells that it will be actual episodes of these shows running is the fact that is said "For six nights only!" or something like that. If it hadn't said that, I would be completely thinking that it was a cd, not episodes of the show airing.

6 nights, 6 shows. Do the math!

A show a night.

LOL, if DS comes on a night that I have to work, I will actually request the night off and lie and say it's my sisters birthday, and I have to go 50 miles out of the way to see her. LOL!!!! (that is in case they have an all-nite DS marathon)

it's been way too long since I last saw DS that I'd let work mess that up.

I'm already ticked at some of the FOL episodes I missed thanks to work. LOL

i know how you feel abotu if DS is gonna be on for an ENTIRE night.... hehe... I will too ask for the night off from work... (only if it's on on a saturday or sunday cuz i only work on weekends) and i JUST got my job!

but it is easy to ask for nights off... i just have to request it in a weeks advance... i have NEVER seen DS But I AM DYING TO!!! Hehe... i ALMOST bought DS tapes... but i realized that it woudl probably no doubt be shown SOMEwhere in time!

and i don't even know if i LIKE the show... i think the only reason i wanna see it is cuz of 2 reasons...
1. Mrs. Garrett (I really wanna see the eps with her in them and the Facts of Life pilot)
2. Arnold... He CRACKS me up!! he is SOOOO cute and hilarious!! i love arnold when he's on Facts of Life!
So I hope that Nick at Nite DOES do this one show a nite thing and play like that show ALLLLLLLL nite!! and no repeats! DO you know how AWSOME that woudl be!!!1 VERY!!

jo: mrs. g gone on ahead I KNOW i can fix the problem
MRs. G: jo only twice in my life have i spoke in an arbitrary manner, once when my ex husband morgaged our home to pay the bookee, and now, GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE OR I'LL BEAT YOU WITH MY FRYING PAN!!!

blair: now jo i know we usually dont agree but that was a scuzy thing for your mother to do!

I'm looking foward to seeing Arnold and Saaandra Clark(227).

01-25-2001, 03:07 AM

What was 227? I know it was a show, but what was it about.

JohnMcMillin · 01-25-2001, 01:33 PM

it's been years, but I'll try to remember what I can.

227 ran from 1985-1990, actually would come on after FOL on Saturday nights from 85-88. Marla Gibbs from the Jeffersons was the star of it. Her, her husband and daughter (played by Regina King, whose done some decent work as an adult) lived in a housing complex as well as Jackee (some people may also remember her as the mom on Sister Sister) and a few other colorful characters. It was a pretty good show from what I remember. I know Gary Coleman (like 4 years after Diff'rent Strokes went off, during the final season of 227) and Luther Vandross were just 2 of the more famous guest-stars of the shows.

perezd · 01-25-2001, 01:33 PM

it's a cd. i just saw the commercial yesterday. i have all those theme songs i downloaded from napster and burned them. so to clear it up, it's cd.

...mmm-hmm...

Anyway, it'll be way cool to see ALF again. I haven;t seen ALF since I was a young'un.

And I'll finally get to see what all the hoopla was about Diff'rent Strokes. I'm still holding out hope that they'll show the pedophile episode, though.

And what was Silver Spoons about? They woulda been better off showing Small Wonder.

TVaddict · 01-25-2001, 04:30 PM

Ok, Small Wonder was good, but Silver Spoons was the best! (Ok, not the best, you all know what really is) but it had Ricky Schroeder and he lived with his dad and his assistant (at first) Kate. Actually, Kate didn't live there at first, but like all those shows they eventually got together. Anyway, they were really rich and they had this huge house and they had a train that went through their living room that they could ride on (which made me SOOOO jealous) and Jason Bateman played one of Ricky's friends, and so did Alfonso Ribiero (Carlton from Fresh Prince) but anyway, you should definitely check this show out. I LOVED it. It was on a local station like 3 summers ago and I wouldn't leave the house until it was over. I'm just hoping that when they do this thing it's not the first week of March, which I bet it will be, because that's when I'm going on spring break and I'd miss it! Maybe they'll repeat it like the FOL marathon, I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Cokies · 01-25-2001, 04:55 PM

Let's get this all cleared up, IT IS NOT A CD. If you look a little closer, it is actually a record sleeve. Get it, it's supposed to be a mock up of those 'Modern Rock New Wave' commercials.

"It was just like Saturday Night Fever, only it was a Friday."

FOL85NatandMrsGRock · 01-25-2001, 05:26 PM

thank you cokies!!! hehe.. i was JUST about to say that and then i read your message... i think that it is kinda dumb how they did that commercial cuz they made it loko like a record but i get how they are mimicing the 80's cuz that was very popular in teh 80's!! hehe... i hear they are playing early season episodes of all the shows... but i don't know... i keep hearing all of these thigns about this revenge of the 80's and i don't know how ANY of them know this cuz nick at nite has only aired the commercials... they haven't aired ANYTHING else!! hehe

I'm looking forward to this. I haven't seen 227 or Silver Spoons since their original runs. And Alf, what can I say... I think that Alf was a truly funny show.
