I got a question......WHY did Nick-At-Nite STOP airing The Facts of Life? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

This is the question that makes us wonder.....

WHY did Nick-At-Nite stop airing the Facts of Life?

Could it be:

Their Contract was up?

They are total idiots for taking our very loved show away from us?

TNN Wants it like they wanted Diff'rent Strokes?

Lisa Whelchel Killed the producers who aired the show.

They wanted more time slots for The Brady Bunch?

They think Family Ties would improve their ratings?

Nancy McKeon threatened to sue Nick-at-Nite to take it off because it aired during the division?

I don't know why.........anyone know hehe

Cordially,

Probably because their jackasses and play shows 9 times a day for a few months and then play the show at late hours or just stop playing it.

They're blind and foolish---they couldn't see what a good thing they had and they let an awesome show go.

I Voted for NBC because its the original network to air FOL and you don't have to recieve cable to have the station.

Reasons why I didn't vote for the other networks:

a) TNN: has the black bar which interupts viewing enjoyment.
b) Nick-at-Nite: cuts a lot of parts out of the show.
c) Hallmark: Not everybody gets it

Nick@Nite took it off because I think they didn't get "good ratings"

My View: But I think thats just wrong, they got great ratings!!!!!!!

TNN because most people I know get it. The Black bar doresn't get to me. I don't know why people ppanic over it. At least the show would be shown, you know?

JDS84 · 07-12-2002, 08:27 PM

I would have to vote for NBC.

JDS84 · 07-12-2002, 08:43 PM

I think Nick-At-Nite was rally stupid for taking FOL off of the air. It was the dumbest decision they have ever made before.

MrsGarrettRocksMySocks · 07-12-2002, 09:57 PM

NBC!!!

Anyways, i think N@N took it off cause they are idiots...I'd say something else, but I'm afraid I'd be banned for it...

Czas na Zywiec · 07-12-2002, 10:00 PM

Because they are stupid jackasses that cannot make their viewers happy and constantly pull shows off. I'll be laughing my ass off when Cheers and Cosby gets moved to late late night time slots when Roseanne, Coach, and Full House come to N@N.
