Fact of Life reunion - Ratings? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Timmer29 · 06-08-2002, 12:10 PM

I saw the facts of life reunion a few months back and really enjoyed it. Ofcourse I was bummed Jo wasn't in it, but hey, she must of had her reasons. So what did everyone think of it? I just joined the group, so I am sure you all have discussed it already back when it aired, but give me your quick thoughts on it anyhow. And importantly, does anyone know how it did in the television ratings?

I would suggest that you go back through the posts around November 18th (when the reunion was on). There are posts about ratings, the movie, mess-ups, etc.

Go to the bottom of the FOL page, and there are numbers going from 1 to about 110. Just try your luck on which number to choose first (probably in the 30s) and see what you find.

GOOD LUCK!!!

"I believe someone famous once said 'Thou shall not steal.'"

LOL. It had it's funny moments, but it did lack some stuff. Jo was sorely missed, but considering it ranked 9th not half bad

Welcome to the boards!

Keep in mind that these ratings are for that Sunday night, not for the entire week. I don't know where it placed overall.

I didn't like the reunion movie at all. It was great to see the girls, but without Jo there, it just didn't seem genuine...

I loved that

I loved the reunion movie. It would have been better with Sue Anne Nancy and Cindy in it.

BTW, Lisa Welchel Forever, you like Jaci Velazquez too? I love the first song off her album "Llegar a Ti" entitled "Un Bailar".

Final ratings for the movie were 11.5 million viewers, 7.1 rating, 11 share. It ranked #51 out of about 123 shows. The Growing Pains movie did 15.1 million viewers the year before so it was down about 20%.
