Rough Housing and Sex Symbol were played a lot on Nick at Nite.
Back in April someone told me that Sex Symbol was the most played episode on Nick at Nite. I know it was played each time the unhidden mysteries marathon was on, in each rotation including the last one, and I also heard it was played on Valentines Day last year so it was played a lot.

Yeah, those two were on every time I turned around- ESPECIALLY Sex Symbol. It's not one of my favorite episodes, but I think that is because they played it so often and wore it out. It seemed to me alot of the first season eps were on alot, but that's probably because I wasn't very fond of those episodes...

I can tell you one that WASN'T played alot---"Where's Poppa." I would PAY to get that episode. It consists one of the BEST Blair/Jo moments IMO.

"Pretty Babies" is the name of it I believe, then again I could be way off so... That episode might have been over played during the first run of FOL, but after that it was considered 'controversial' and N@N locked up yet another amazingly good episode. Those dummies.

The episode you're thinking of is called
"Runaway".

Sex Symbol was one of the most played episodes... and i think there was the rough housing one too.. that one was.. OMG stop already.. and I.Q. it was good the first time.. but after like the 5th million time i wanted to shoot them!


In regards to the girl/boy who said that NaN locked up Runaway because it was contraversial... they never "locked" it up... it was just that during the first run of FOL they didn't play some eps so that the next time when they got around to the beginging... people would want to watch becuase they never saw those eps.. and then they took some eps that were played the first time through and didn't show them becuase TONS of people (more than half on this board) got into the show during the end of the first run or the begining of the second.. and becuase NaN planned to run FOL for longer than a year, they thought that it woudl keep all the new commers interested. See, IMO.. they made a smart marketing move... they wanted to make sure that obsessors (like all of us) still watched it after they got ALL the epsiodes on tape! so they played some.. and didn't play others... but it obviously didn't work becuase the times watched at the FOL playign time went down after the second run...

i know it's not osmethign that a lot of us admit.. but after the 3rd or 4th season in teh second run i stopped watching it on NaN almost all together.. through the 1st and 2nd i was kinda like.. oh i'll watch it sometimes and if other things interst me i'll watch those.. and then i was liek oh i LOVE e 3rd season.. and kinda.. UHH for the 4th season...

Ok... this is more than i needed to discuss under THIS topic!

Toodles!

Brian and Sylvia. In my opinion, even once would've been too many times.

"Doo Wah" was extremely overplayed. It played during the first week of the marathon. Then it played over that same weekend. It played when during the regular seasonal run. Again with the encore marathon, Revenge of the 80's and other times, but that is okay because that is my favorite episode.
