No FOL for tvland - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Mr. Stefani · 09-19-2001, 01:53 PM

Hey i got an email from TVland and they said "the FOL will NOT be coming to tvland, nor will it ever." Thats all they said, and they said that if N@N does start to air it at 4:30, they will most likely only have the show for a couple more months,just like they did with happy days.

Well I will set the timer and tape the eps I don't have. It was nice to see Diff'rent Strokes and FOL back to back.

I never thought TVL would pick up FOL. TVL is for the 'classics' and it only airs 80s dramas.

Kay Scarpetta · 09-19-2001, 07:27 PM

I dont see why TVL cant air it!! FOL *IS* A classic TV show!!!!

NOOOOOO!!! Only a few more months?!?!? I hope Nick At Nite decides to show the controversial episodes...and I really hope some other station would pick it up...:::fingers crossed::: maybe lifetime will...I mean, the four girls ARE "women" (have to clam down)

PPatters · 09-19-2001, 08:19 PM

The initial scheduling means nothing, really. Given the type of station this is, the initial schedule is really a make or break period. The show is either going off the air or it's not after it's initial little run on Nick-at-Nite. If it can pull in good enough ratings at it's time slot they may upgrade it. If it gets mediocre ratings, they'll renew it in the same timeslot. It may not be a big number of people, but if anyone out there is one of the Neilson families, WATCH FOL! LOL It's just that, the network had to make a decision based on their demographics, previous ratings, and the demographics that were watching during it's previous runs on the networks. I have no idea what their ratings or demographics for it's previous run on the network was, though, so I won't begin to speculate on that.
