what about WGN? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

MusicJunkie · 11-02-2008, 07:04 PM

WGN seems to have a habit of picking up popular shows from the 60's-80's that don't suffer from rerun abuse (Bewitched, ALF, WKRP, etc...), I think Facts Of Life would fit in with their schedule quite nicely as well. What do others think? This and ALN are the safest bets on ever seeing FOL on television again considering TV Land, ION, etc... are all whores to MASH and other played out sitcoms that you can find on six other networks, but WGN seems to still care about the oldies that you don't see 30 times a day.

BTW, I am aware that WGN used to air FOL around 1988-1992.

its funny you brought this subject up...because i emailed WGN about this about a week ago and they responded and said that they were going to talk to management about it!

ZeldaGilroy · 11-02-2008, 11:26 PM

I e-mailed them too. Maybe if they get a lot of e-mails requesting FOL they will consider it!

u guys rock! thats awesome! I hope they will definitely consider it.

I was hoping WGN will pick up this show again someday too. I didn't think of emailing them. I'll have to do that.

InspectorExstead · 11-03-2008, 12:44 AM

great idea! i'm pretty sure i have that channel, but even if i don't...whatever gets fol on air again is a great idea because HOPEFULLY then another station will pick it up!

Ahh! That's awesome!

I've been seeing WGN show all these old shows like the Three's Company spinoffs (Three's A Crowd and The Ropers) and a bunch of other shows I haven't seen in forever and I keep hoping that FOL will end up on there soon (it's called Lost 80s or something like that). I'm glad someone responded for you

. What is their e-mail address, maybe I'll email them too
