IT IS NOT A CD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For 6 Days in March, N@N will show 6 different Shows from the 80's.

The 6 shows are:

1)Facts of Life
2)Diff'rent Strokes
3)Square Pegs
4)Alf
5)Silver Spoons
6)227

I am almost positive this means a show a night. And as for Napster, I downloaded them themes too. But who ever heard of releasing a CD, or record, or cassette, that contains nothing except 6 show themes from the 80's. And did they give a price, no! or a number, no! IT IS NOT A CD!!!!!!!!!

Heh... thanks for the silver spoons info...

Anyway, I don't see where the whole "is it a cd/album" question thing came form in the first place.

Sure, Nick at Nite has released CDs befor (on Rhino records), but they've never included themes. I thought it was obvious that the commercial was just a parody of those best of the 80s hits commercials Nick at Nite always seems to air. Of course, i was watching when they did the Welcome Back Kotter record commercial, so I remember all this stuff.

It just seemed odd to me that there would be such a great amount of people who would thing N@N would release a cd like this instead of airing the shows... especially after that "6 nights" comment in the commercial.

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.

I know they both guest starred. I have both those episodes of 227. Gary Played Mr. Big and Luther Played himself. In "Dont pass go"

ThomasE · 01-27-2001, 02:40 AM

I don't know how it will be arranged, but I know that I'm taping everything in that week that it's aired.

I'm gonna conserve tapes and just tape Diff'rent Strokes and the FOL episodes I don't already have. I hate Alf, And as for the other three, I'll watch them, but I won't be taping them. N@n has the rights if they want to show them again.
