The reason why Nick at Nite took Facts of Life off.. - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Mr. Stefani · 03-11-2002, 05:12 PM

I emailed tvland, askin if the show would ever be on tv land:

"Dear Viewer,

Sadly the show did not do well on Nick at Nite at all, so they decided to pull the plug on it. Because of its low raitings on Nick at Nite, TV Land doesn't want to purchase rights to the show. There is no petition which would help it get on TV Land. Sorry"

Wild Child · 03-11-2002, 05:28 PM

That's not even right!!!!!

"grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"

Mr. Stefani · 03-11-2002, 05:44 PM

How do u know for sure....Tv Land would probably know, but he could be wrong..

NancyMcKeon/LisaWelchel#1 · 03-11-2002, 06:07 PM

THAT IS SOOOOOO UNFAIR UGH!! THAT IS A LOAD OF CRAP!!

FOLrocks1 · 03-11-2002, 06:22 PM

That's a bunch of crap! FOL did good on N@N, i would think so ne ways!

Kay Scarpetta · 03-11-2002, 06:37 PM

Ok, whoa whoa whoa. I don't know how many people in America watched that show when it was on N@N, but I know that's..... that's a bunch of bull $h!+.

N@N...I'm telling you. They are majorly screwed up in the head if they are saying FOL didn't do well

PhoenixMcKeonism · 03-11-2002, 07:06 PM

That's a bunch of crap!! TV Land would put it on the air... but if it dont... hey whatever facts of life is too good for that network then LOL

Ummm, maybe it's because I'm a little older than the majority of people on here, but when I read that letter, I felt that it just doesn't sound like a "professional" letter. "...Pulling the plug..." sounds a bit rude, IMHO. From the way this post looks, it's a direct copy of the letter. There is no mention about "Thanks for contacting us about your suggestions..." or "We appreciate your understanding...." Plus, of ALL the people who have emailed about FOL, this is the only response I have ever heard. So, why was timmy the only one to get an answer. I'm not saying he's lying (so no one get vicious with me and send me rude emails), but it just doesn't sound right. I'm curious to see the original letter mailed to TVLand.

Mr. Stefani · 03-11-2002, 08:59 PM

A lot of people have posted the responses they have gotten from tv land. My letter wasnt to "professionsal". I wouldnt make it up...The tv land "postmaster" is kind of rude, well seems..I copied and pasted the letter exactly as i got it. You can email him, ull prob. get the same response. Postmaster@tvland.com

I will foward the letter to u, if u dont belive me.

LynnFOL · 03-11-2002, 09:07 PM

For some reason, I'm having trouble believing that FOL didn't do so well in the ratings. I bet that the Post Master was just mad at all the FOL fans wanting to get the show back up so he made that up. Well, whatever, I don't care about how good of a rating shows get! I care about the equality of air time a show gets! And so should N@N and TV Land. It is soooooo unfair that they "Pull the Plug" on one of the greatest Sitcoms ever! Without warning! And then expect to bring a bad sitcom and get better ratings. I don't even like the new N@N Line-up, except of All in the Family or the TV Land line-up!

vienna waits · 03-11-2002, 09:24 PM

What a load of cow cocka. FOL is probably one of the most popular shows they've ever had. If it didnt do good in ratings they wouldnt have shown the unhidden mysteries marathon twice! Something they've never done with any other show.

ks · 03-11-2002, 10:18 PM

Ok, so whether that letter is for real or not, I think it's a bunch of malarque when people say FOL did not do well on N@N. For all I'm concerned N@N can just "blow it out their gucci bags." I'd like to tell them where they can stick their ratings

-ahem- Sorry, lots of homework just letting off some steam...

ABlairican Pie · 03-11-2002, 10:36 PM

"Facts not doing well on Nick-at-Nite"?????!!!!

THOSE GUYS GOTTA STOP SMOKING SO MUCH CRACK!!!! WHY DON'T I BELIEVE THAT???? Blair-Tootie Project, Blair and Angelica episodes, back to
back FOL episodes, WHERE THE HELL DO THEY GET THEIR INFORMATION ABOUT FACTS NOT BEING A BIG RATINGS WINNER???

THEY ARE SO FULL OF IT!!!!

Mr. Stefani · 03-11-2002, 10:58 PM

tv Land is afflicted with N@N, right? Maybe the post master person was pissed everyone emails him so much

If u want people to back up the letter, just ask, i sent it to a few people.

InspectorExstead · 03-11-2002, 11:42 PM

NO..YOU KNOW WHAT I BET NICK AT NITE WAS WORRYING ABOUT LOOSING THE AUDIENCE TO A SHOW LIKE FOL. BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE HIGHER RATINGS BACK WHEN IT WAS AIRING. SO THEY DECIDE TO AIR LIKE CHEERS, OR I LOVE LUCY (EVEN THOUGH THEY DON'T) BECAUSE THEY KNOW THE MAJORITY OF THE AUDIENCE KNOWS THE SHOW AND ARE BIG FANS. BUT THERE ARE A LOTTTA FOL FANS TOO...AND THERE WOULDN'T BE LIKE 5000 POSTS ON THIS SUBJECT OF FOL COMING BACK IF WE DIDN'T GIVE A DAMN! ...I HATE NICK AT NITE. I'VE VOWED NOT TO WATCH IT TILL FOL COMES BACK ON THE AIR. NOT LIKE THEY HAVE ANYTHING GOOD TO WATCH....AND THE FANDEMONIUM MARATHON ON TVLAND. I BET THAT WAS A REAL SUCCESS. A LOTTA FANS TUNED IN FOR THAT AND THE FACT THAT IT WAS ON THE SAME DAY AS THE RE-UNION MOVIE (WELL..ONE OF THE DAYS) MADE IT EVEN COOLER.
