Which network? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Which Network do you think would have the best chance of airing
the Facts of Life?
I hope Nickelodeon would not. because they weren't good to our girls. Plus took to many scenes out.
I don't think ABC Family would because it is a NBC show.
I know alot of channel s would not.
I hope Hallmark does not get it because I don't get that channel and alot of you don't either. Tv Land already has to many shows.
3 really good hopefuls
LIFE TIME, TBS, Or USA.
USA showed it at one time.
TBS shows old sitcoms.
LifeTime shows alot of shows about girls and women.

Let's all write and ask, Beg and Plead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1993-1998, I believe

TBS shows old sitcoms.
If you're refering to the current TBS, you are sadly mistaken, my
friend. The classics are gone-in their place are Seinfeld, Friends, Drew Carey, Home Improvement, Dawsons Creek and lots of
Atlanta Braves Baseball. The only shows on the current TBS that
could be considered "classic" are The Cosby Show and CHiPs.

Don't forget Mama's Family

hawaii five-o · 03-24-2004, 08:43 PM

I could see them on Lifetime or Oxygen. I could also see them on ABC Family.

Harper49 · 03-24-2004, 10:43 PM

Maybe CTS would be the place for it.

FOL on tv right now sucks because they edit out so many scenes. DVD will be the best way for us to see this show.

edit? what did they edit?

80schild.com · 03-27-2004, 11:40 PM

They take out around 2-3 minutes of each episode in order to cram in more commercials. Government changed the amount of ad time networks could place per half hour in 1993 - so shows made before then are edited....

Eg: i have an original nbc "SEVEN LITTLE INDIANS" on tape from 1987. and i noticed that Hallmark and NIckatNite took out alot - including when George runs through the house looking for the killer - he scares the girls as a joke which was funny, they also edited out Beverly ann pouring the hot chocolate and saying some funny lines, and just other small things here and there....

Thats why its best to get them on DVD - you'll have the entire episode....

PEACE!

Yes you are right. I have not watched TBS in a while. It is mostly modern shows.
I did not think ABC Family would air it, because it was a NBC show.
Although they did show The Facts of Life movie. So maybe there is hope. Until the entire series is put on Dvd we could try
ABC Family, Life Time, and USA or any others?????

I think Lifetime: Television For Women has the best chance at it. Hopefully, the chance will be narrow and that goes with rest of the networks too.

EmoJoe · 05-14-2004, 08:02 PM

Lifetime and USA already had the show. I say TVLand, TBS, or ABCFamily.
