Angry That's Just Wrong!

I was in the orthodontist office the other day and so I picked up a book called "the 100 Greatest TV Shows of All Time" and flipped through it. Every 80's show was in it, except FOL!!!!! FOL should have been in the top 10! That made me so MAD! I don't care if they were #100 as long as they were in there. Someone in another past post said that people act like it never existed...well their right!!

OMG, that is sooo very wrong. It's not in that People 80's edition either. What's wrong with these stupid people that write these magazines?!?!

Just think of me as a short version of a tall person.

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: 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!

Notice: If you copy me, I will be forced to send you to the outermost reigons of the pig where you will suffer miserably, for I am Jinny: Queen o' the Pigs and Penguins!

Grrr! Ya know it's kinda weird, how NMK wants to get rid of the whole Jo image (which I understand), yet to some (like the media) it seems like FOL never existed. It's quite a contradiction when you think about it. Just the fact that her character was popular and everyone seems to remember it, but they forget about the entire show itself. Did that make any sense whatsoever? I know what I'm tryin to say but I can't really express myself.

Thumbs down

Your right.

Maybe that is why N@N isn't showing FOL anymore:No matter how loud we yell, they don't know it exists. I know, sounds dumb, but at this point, I don't care.

This is why I keep telling you guys, talk to your local reporters! Tell them about us! There is no better way to get recognition than to talk to the media!
