Better on Disney Channel - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

ALF Rocks!! · 09-25-2001, 04:59 PM

Even though Fox Family is showing eps they never showed on Disney, for some reason, I seemed to enjoy it better on Disney than on fox Family, does anyone else think so?

FOL85NatandMrsGRock · 09-27-2001, 07:21 PM

what were all of the epsiodes that The Disney Channel didn't play??? I think somebody mentioned that Mike's Modanna Story was one of them... but waht were the others??? Did disney edit the episodes differently than Fox Family does?? and quite frankly i am SOOO glad that Growing Pains moved to Fox Family becuase i don't get the disney channel with our cable provider without paying extra... But who knows... i think it will be on Nick at Nite in a couple of years! and i'm sure it'll be treated liek CRAP!!!! hehe

Toodles!

The only thing I don't like is that they have eliminated the credits and that great saxophone only theme. Plus, in the shows later years, we will miss out on the guy falling off the roof into the bushes. Disappointing.

Ive heard that some other eps are being shown on FF that were never shown on disney, like Mike's madonna story, and one, where Ben (?) is offered crack.
I got interested in Growing Pains by watching it on Disney, which never showed commercials, and since FF shows commercials, it doesnt seem the same.

Plus, Fox Family is airing the episodes in airdate order. I prefer production order.

Disney sort of aired commercials. But only Disney Channel related stuff. For some reason, they aren't allowed to air actual ads for stuff. I think cuz they are pay cable. But the one I'm dying for FF to air is the cocaine ep. that I haven't seen since the original airing in 87.

wow!! I get both We and FF... but i dont get Disney... and i was a little disappointed in the not showing the credits thing as well... but Fox Family's showing the cocain ep TOMORROW (wednesday, october 17th, 2001) and i'm SOOO excited!!! It would have been nice that GP been shown commercial free and i never heard of thigns being shown in production order!! Sounds interesting... then they woudl at least grow properly!

But then if like teh episode where carol wants bobby to ask her to the dance was taped before we even MET bobby... it'd be a little confusing, don't you think??? well i think it would be rather interesting! What other episodes have NOT been played on Disney?? oh.. btw it was MIKe who was offered crack... wasn't there also an episode where mike actually admitted to having sex??? i heard that somewhere... I dunno if it was true or not.. but if anyone knows... let me know too! thanks!!

Toodles!

Well not that this will change anything, but Fox Family will be taken over by Disney on Saturday and change names to ABC Family. But I really dont think that will change much else.

when GP was on disney, there was about 2 min. more episode. abc family cuts out the last part of the show before the credits. Luckely I taped every episode when it was on disney, so I have the full episodes. wow abc family really sucks

I like it better on Disney, b/c it was shown more than once a day..which we all know it will soon be booted out of the 3:00 PM time slot once summer comes to an end.

Enjoy it while you can.
