All 9 Season of Facts of Life to be released on DVD - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Confirmed on Shout Factory twitter: The Facts of Life will be released on DVD. All 9 seasons. No word yet on release date or bonus features.

FINALLY!

I'm betting it's released before the end of the year... probably December, with early shipping if you order it from Shout's website.

I say this only because: April was the complete Hill Street Blues, June was complete Bob Newhart, August is complete Welcome Back, Kotter, October is complete WKRP, so on their every other month schedule, December (with a November early shipping) makes the most sense for FoL.

Seriously?!?!?

THIS......IS......AWESOME!!! Best day ever!

While I will definitely be getting this, I'd be more excited if one or more of the stalled Lear shows featuring female leads were getting this treatment instead. We'll see what the future holds.

If they can clear the music from Seasons 6-9 of Facts there's still hope they can do the same for the other 2 Sony shows on my wish list (or at least one of them).

I'm surprised that the boards aren't blowing up from happiness of all the FOL fans. I guess good news travels slow.

I will definitely be purchasing this DVD set. It's funny now that I'm trying to save my money and buy a car all these complete series are coming out: Welcome Back Kotter, Pee-wee's Playhouse (blu-ray), Batman, The Wonder Years, Facts of Life (WKRP, too but I'll probably pass on that one).

This seems so unbelievable. I look forward to watching seasons 8 and 9. I haven't seen a Beverly Ann episode in over a decade.

I know, I feel your pain. I have "Pee-wee" and "Batman" preordered but I also intend on getting "Kotter" , "WKRP", and "Wonder Years".

Expensive year!

It's nice that all FOL Seasons are getting released!

I'm hoping that other shows will follow suit!

James28 · 07-27-2014, 04:13 PM

I am getting worried that if Shout! Factory releases a The Facts of Life season 9 DVD set individually, they they may just omit the season number and it'll just be titled "The Final Season", like they had already done with several other shows. I'll be peeved if they don't have the season number on the packaging. (Well, season 9 was technically FoL's last season.)

HugeBensonFan · 07-27-2014, 04:21 PM

Is there a link to this? Tried looking on Shout's twitter and didn't see anything. Its good news though for FOL fans. I watched it growing up. I was never huge on it, but it's worthy of a purchase. And I always think, if I purchase one series of a show it might lead to another being released. Still hoping for Benson the complete series to be released, but starting to lose hope on it sadly. I keep seeing these other shows get their complete series releases, but to no avail for Benson. But I'm happy for Facts of Life fans!

Seriously?? Who cares??

^^Why "Who cares?"? All i'm saying is that the season numbers just shouldn't be omitted from the DVDs.

Impressions · 07-27-2014, 08:14 PM

WOW! This looks legit. I'm so excited. I've been waiting for this day forever!

I have OCD, so I can understand what you're talking. I can't stand that either, but it's a small price to pay if the DVDs are coming out!

I've noticed on other shows' boards too, these boards are nothing like they were 10 years ago. It's really sad, these boards used to be jumping all over the place with activity and now hardly anyone posts anymore...
