Hi! I'm new. - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

tron1971 · 09-26-2006, 01:53 AM

I can't believe I haven't found this board with all my years on the Internet. I would have joined way sooner.

The Facts of Life is my favorite sitcom of all time.

What can I say, um, I grew up with The Facts of Life, I remembered the 1st season but it didn't make an impression, but the rest of the seasons did. I had a crush on Jo, and I enjoyed watching everyone grow through the years.

I enjoyed the Eastland years, Edna Edibles years and the Over Our Heads years. The funny thing is that I was younger than the girls and I'm not a girl but when the show finally was finished. I was a junior in high school and boy did it leave a void in my last year in high school in terms of tv watching.

It's kinda weird trying to explain but I think the reason why out of all the sitcoms that aired while I grew up in the 80's, I was able to identify with their maturity, independence and the ability to fall on each other (and Mrs. Garrett) for help which I recall no other sitcoms had kids being played as that. I was rather mature for my age.

I watch the first half of the 2nd season this past weekend and I haven't seen any Facts of Life since they were first ran on NBC, and all of a sudden I remember these episodes, well the plots anyway. Didn't know Molly Ringwald was still around in the 2nd season!

Well, enough of my blabbering, didn't want to get too personal. I love the 80's and especially The Facts of Life.

Thanks Dax, I'll be sure to participate as much as I can.

Most episodes are fuzzy and I only remember the general idea of the episode. But as soon as the seasons are released on dvd, I can talk more about the episodes.

Can't wait for Season 3, and this weekend I have to finish Season 2.

Hi tron, you remember that Jo loved to play Tron. Honestly I didn't exactly grow up on FOL, I kinda rediscovered it on USA and then Nick at Nite. I became compleatly besotted with Blair Warner. I love Jo and Nat and Tootie and MRs G too! but Blair stole my heart. I love the show. Frankly I'm very new to this board too. So far everyone's been great. Most times I find, FOL fans are the best! Enjoy yourself and buy season 3!!
