Post Do people make fun of you for liking FOL?

Do people make fun of you because you like FOL?
People make fun of me alot. I am soooo sick of it and I think it should be stopped...what do you think??

What do you say when someone tells you that its dumb that you like an old show?
I tell them to "blow it out their crank case/gucchi bag" or "turn blue"
....what about you?

Hmmm....I didn't realize that it's "uncool" among younger people to like an old show. Sure- FOL is from my generation, but when I was growing up in the 80's, LOTS of young people admitted that they like shows from the 60's such as The Monkees, Bewitched, etc.

At my age, I don't talk about my favorite shows...but if anyone asks I will proudly admit that FOL is pretty much at the top of my list (when it's at it's peak).

Fol is all I talk about at school. I even sing the theme song! lol! A lot of people like it, but I think they prefer DS better. My friend Taylor was pretty much obsessed with it until he got disney channel. He stopped watching it so he could watch diney movies!! I was like.. hello? What's your problem how could disney be beter than fol? He thinks I'm physco now. I like disney too though!

I'm not AS obsessed with FOL as I am with CHARLOTTE RAE, but I do talk about it pretty much all the time!!my mom says everything that comes out of my mouth has something to do with, FOL or one of the actresses from FOL!! MY friends get tired of hearing quotes from FOL, but I don't care, they quote from their FAVE shows, I'll quote from mine!

Back to the question, nobody makes fun of me for watching The Facts of Life.

Hell no! If they did, I'd knock their teeth out! Most of the girls in my class watch it too. But most of them like Natalie... When I tell them that I like Jo they just smile. But w/e.

On April 24, 2008, Dana and I are going to meet in LA and handcuff ourselves to Nancy McKeon and Jay Harrington, and you're not. Ahahaha!

Jinny: If you think for one minute that I am gonna stand here and listen to all of you talk about me, your out of your damn minds.

Jinny: Oh, come on, folks, please, don't be shy. Apparently anyone is welcome to crap all over me tonight, so please, step right on up!

Sometimes some people make fun of me for liking FOl- b/c I go to this web page dur'n computer class, they ask me like do I like the Brady Bunch too.

One of my friends also likes FOL , but not obssessed like us, she told me to get over the show.

And guess what? I am getting over it. I"m not watching N@N anymore and when FOL comes back on, I probabyl won't watch it until they start to show Saseon 8-9

I like The Divison more and I"m WAY OVERLY OBSESSED WITH NMK.

That's what my friends make fun of. My whole locker is NMK pics and my binder, u don't wanna know!

Only 2 of my friends do..but I dont care because one of them is the one that got me into FOL, and the other is a PIA that I could care less about what he thinks. And i'm also much more obsessed with Nancy herself then with FOL!

No, I've never really been made fun of for liking it. I've been critisized about it, but not made fun of. When they do I just say it's none of ur concern about what i like, and just walk away.
