I just ordered the complete series from Shout Factory after I just completed the last show of my Seasons 1 and 2 DVD (with that awful Brian and Sylvia episode).

When you say Shout Factory I hope you didn't mean you purchased it direct from their website where it's selling for a whopping $159.99!! (and they try and be clever by crossing out $199.99 to make it look like you're getting a bargain!)

Please say you at least bought it off Amazon where it's going for HALF that!!

I got mine off E Bay and really lucked out with a good copy for $43 bucks---though I haven't played all the seasons yet---but so far 8 & 9 play perfectly.

I got it off Amazon. They wanted $30 just for the season 3 DVD so I thought I might as well get the whole kit.

The package just arrived. I will be at the start of Season 3. There have been some episodes from Seasons 5-9 that I never saw.

Very cool, enjoy!

Sadly, the complete series DVD set still doesn't include The Facts of Life Reunion movie. It would be nice if this would finally get a DVD release.

It has no relationship with the original writers or producers. You can see it on YouTube.

MacLeaper · 05-20-2020, 05:59 PM

That's beside the point. It's still part of The Facts of Life series as a TV-movie based on the show and starring most of the original cast. It's nice that someone has put it on Youtube but I would still like to see it get an official DVD release.

Legalities probably get in the way of that.

It's nice to see the Season 1 cast on the cover of the Seasons 1 & 2 DVD.

I suppose there must be some hold up on rights. Hopefully it will eventually get settled. Until then, I'll just have to be content with the copy I taped from its TV airing.
