Question When was the first day everyone...........

When was the first day everyone saw The Facts of Life for the first time? I can't remember mine, but it was in September during the first marathon on N@N. It was the episode "Emily Dickenson". does anyone know when that was aired for the first time on N@N?

I think mine was in November or December. I watched the last half of the one where they gamble & Jo meets up with Flyman again. But the next ones I remember watching were the FOL Down Under. Emily Dickinson was an early one for me, too.

My first episode was the one where they had the paint fight! I saw Jo and I told my sister "Man she's ugly" then my sister said "I know she looks like a squirrel"

I only saw the paint fight. I thought the show was boring. Then I saw some new episodes um...the one where Tootie and Nat go to the poconose and see this Jazz guy

Then when I really became obsessed was in January...OK now...we had this really big snow storm. I went out to play in it and almost passed out cuz it was windy and I had asthma (LONG STORY) now I wasn't allowed to go back out so I was inside. There was absolutely nothing on TV so I was channel surfing...I came across 'The Golden Girls'. I went into the closet and climbed on some boxes, cuz I was looking for something. I'm looking and watching TV at the same time. Then I see a preview for 'The Division' (this was before it premiered) it showed CD and Jinny sitting and talking. I looked really close at Jinny and then I fell off the boxes and I screamed "THAT'S JO!" "She's pretty now". A week later her Intimate Portrait premiered. I watched it. And then I became even more obsessed.

I'm so obsessed I made a web site
(I'm gonna use HTML. If it doesn't work type in the adress)

The first few eps I saw were Doo Whaa and the computer dating one. For some reason it seemed like everytime I turned the T.V. on in Sep. those two eps were playing! LOL, then I started watching it regularly, got obsessed, got interested in NMK, started watching TD, and the rest is history!

I don't remember my 1st episode but I remember seeing the 1st ad run for FOL on NAN (you saw them when they were young, growing up, and all grown up) and thinking "Gee, that looks like a good show! I gotta watch that!

Well, I hate all news shows (I was thinking "Man, that show sounds terrible"! And then I did the same thing with TC.....why is that man taking everyone's food).....It was between the premire of FOL and TC. When the TC Marathon came on, I was soooo confused, and then they put it on at 11:00 PM so I didn't need to know....but then when it changed to 10:00 PM and I could finally watch it! Well, that was off track!

Gee, that's almost the exact oppisite for me. I was like, "What?! That's not Jo!"
Personally, I think she looked better then than now. ( Mind you, I was used to seeing Nancy McKeon from seasons 2 and 3 when I first saw her as Jinny so...)
Differing opinions, I guess...

First time I saw FOL on Nick was the last night of the marathon. I was babysitting for these people til like, midnight. I put the kid to bed around nine, and then I sat down and started watching the tube. And there it was. I was like, "Hey! I remember this show!." I believe it was the episode where Edna's Edibles burnt down. The rest is history.
I believe it's almost been a year since that day. 4 days until...I think.
