Default Episodes I've seen taped!!

I don't know, but I'm getting the impression a lot of you are pretty
familiar with the FOL more through N@N and TV Land. Anyone out there remember when it was on NBC on Wednesdays and Saturday nights? (Nod your heads yes)
Well, as a matter of "Facts", I ACTUALLY GOT TO SEE IT TAPED SEVERAL TIMES!! This was back in final season in 1987, when I
visited L.A. for the first time. I saw:
The episode where Natalie goes undercover
to write about ROTC and has to parachute
of a plane (this was just afternoon rehearsal);
Where Rick announces he will die before his
30th birthday (actual taping);
Where Natalie's and Tootie's boyfriends
fight--and Blair convinces Jo to sue a mechanic
(actual taping);
Where Jo's dad on his birthday criticizes Rick
for being irresponsible (actual taping).
Those were so COOL!!!!

I was born in 1986, but if I would have been born earlier I would have gone to an actual taping. I'm not that far from LA, by plane I would get there in an hour. I didn't start watching FOL on N@N I started watching it on USA Network, my mom had a few tapes of FOL on NBC too. I would have killed to go to an actual taping

Tad, is there anything particular that sticks out in your mind about these tapings?

OMG, I'd LOVE to have been there, but considering I was 3 when it went off the air I dont think they'da let me in. lol.
Besides, I don't really like the last 2 seasons either. I saw "It's A Wonderful Christmas" the other day and concluded that Bev cannot carry a whole episode. It wouldn't be any fun w/out Charlotte. lol.

Those were so COOL!!!!

I was really young when I saw the actual tapings. I used to watch it and Different Strokes when they aired weekday mornings on NBC. I used to watch it with my older sister on WEd nights from 1984-1985 and have some promos for what would happen in the next episode along with original shows. I remember in September 1985 when the show changed it'[s look. My sister saw Tootie in those pigtails in the opening sequence and wanted to go make her hair look like Tootie's. LOL. On Saturday Night back then when El D'Barge was on, my sister got all excited. "My Baby on TV". I was a kid but I did not like the lady who was the lead singer in the group commotion because she was "mean to Natalie and Tootie and because she was asking for the cigarette machine". LOL. I watched up till the show got canceled.

In 1986 the show finally went into 5 day a week syndication. When I was in NYC I found out it started airing 5 days a week with the promos and all and after I came back down to Florida I would watch it "weeknites at 6pm on WFTS channel 28" and weekdays at 5pm C/T on WGN channel 9. In 1993 USA picked up the show then stopped airing it at one time, then in 1997, it was picked back up again until 1998.
