Exclamation All the fun. Gone.

All this talk about hating N@N, 4:30 am rubbish, etc, is taking the fun out of everything. It's taking the fun out of The Facts of Life.
Why must everyone complain about EVERYTHING? I know that most of us have seen most of the run, and can live without FOL for the time being. Others, mostly newbies, are acting irrational. What's wrong with setting the VCR? I mean, you don't have to record every episode. You're not going to die because you missed an episode or two. I'm sure you'll see it again.
Of course all of us would like the luxury of being able to sit down and watch an episode at 9 pm, but frankly, that's not going to happen.
Just be happy there's a show called "The Facts of Life" that you especially enjoy. All this yapping is tiring, and is taking the attention away from the good things, such as the reunion. We finally got a reunion!
Anyway, I'm rambling. And most of this is just venting. I just wanted to say this, in hopes some of you will be optimistic.
Alright, make of it what you will.

Hey I agree with you... Weve seen almost all the episodes anyway! If its one I haven't seen I'll record it but otherwise I'll just watch my tape of that episode 3 hours before it airs on N@N.

Well since Britt is a Jineddy (Jinny and Teddy) and Morganne is a Jinanybody (Jin and Anybody) I'm a JinMag, now you can figure that one out on your own.

*Me, Britt, and Morganne are self appointed message board bad girls...we rebel against self appointed moderators... You know who you are!*

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

I Agree 100%. At least a network *Aired* FOL, which most networks pass on. And Nick gave it special treatment in the beginning.

If Nick -at-Nite does take off The FDacts of Life I'm sure another station will air it.
I'm so afraid if they ever get rid of Diff'rent Strokes no one will want to reair it because of the troubled cast.

I agree. I remember the good old days when we actually used to talk about the *show*! LOL. No, but seriously, all the complaining posts are getting kinda obnoxious. If you hafta gripe about something over and over again, write it on paper instead.

As I've indicated before, we are indeed lucky that N@N is bringing back FOL. I always thought it would be an advantage for them to show it at the late at night/early morning hour.....there's a good chance that they'll show the controversial eps at the wee hours of the night. Doesn't everyone want to finally see those controversial eps instead of seeing the same eps over and over? For me, the only gripe I would have about this is that I am already buying 2 volumes from Columbia House. But still, I am quite pleased that N@N is bringing back FOL.
