If you owned the FACTS OF LIFE what would you do? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Impressions · 07-12-2002, 03:17 PM

I was just sitting around this board and I thought what could you do if you could switch around with the show? What if you won the rights to The Facts of Life and could do anything you wanted with the show, and you're so excited because you can bring it back to the public, and if you think of all the possibilities I made a little list:

1. Like make merchandise, stuffed animals, t-shirts, toys.
2. Put the show on DVD.
3. Make a new official Facts of Life Website ( the one now is currently out)
4. Add aditional footage to the show.
5. Attach bloopers to the show
6.Make a new show like for 2002
7.Make another spin-off
8.Make a movie to the show
9.What if Facts of Life was in a different era like 50s,60s,70s etc.?
10. Make Facts of Life Like a sci-fi, drama, soap, cartoon etc.
11. Add different characters

You can do all this stuff, what would you do to change the face of Facts of Life, and maybe you don't want to change the show, what would you like to see change the show. Post as much as you want, Pretend you own the Facts of Life and you could do anything you want its in you hands, do whatever you want!!!

I would digitally remaster the show so that sound and picture quality was absolutely perfect. I would also broadcast FOL on NBC from 9-10 every weeknight, completely unedited.

Kay Scarpetta · 07-12-2002, 04:37 PM

Air it on at least 4 stations that everyone got

FOLrocks1 · 07-13-2002, 05:55 PM

Air all of the 'controversial' episodes in one big marathon!

I'd make a FOL marathon every week on a station that everyone has

MrsGarrettRocksMySocks · 07-14-2002, 03:08 PM

Make copies of everything(to have backup, that's always GREAT!!)

I would GIVE EVERY STATION permission to air it...meaning that every station would have like a show that they didn't even have to pay for...(that would be a plus for a station!!) Which means that most stations would probably air it (better than airing infomercials!!!)

I was thinking one day that if I ever became President it would be nice to make a law that EVERY station HAD to air FOL at least twice a day...or even at least ONCE a day...unedited...ahhhhh that would nice, but, since i suck at leadership, forget me being the President...maybe i'll write to Haven when she's President...

Blair-Lisa#1Fan · 07-15-2002, 12:44 AM

I would definally make FOL merchandise like an FOL board game and t-shirts and hats and lunchboxes and dolls and stickers and computer games and a soundtrack and all kinds of stuff!!

LucyFan · 07-16-2002, 03:05 AM

If I won the rights to The Facts of Life I would put the show in my vault for at least five years or sell it to a die-hard fan for $1,000,000,000. Also, I wouldn't give any stations permission to air it but if they refused and did then I would sue them for a lot of money. And if I saw any merchandise of The Facts of Life I would put it to use and make something out of it. I LOVE
The Facts of Life.

If I had the rights to the show oh the possiblities first I would put it on a channel and do what hallmark does with Jeanie and Bewtiched show it like 8 times a day and I would have it unedited and I would make a fol computer game where you can pick the scene and what they say, it would be like a make your own fol ep type of game and I would make Fol shirts, trading cards, Cd with the theme song and songs the girls sang on the show and the songs guest stars sang. I'd also make vidoes of each ep and sell them and I would make a doll house like the house they lived with Ednas Edibles and Over our Heads but the shops you could detach them and I'd also make a eastland one with dolls such as a Mrs. G doll come with oven, Blair w/porsch, Jo w/ Motorbike, Nat W/Typewriter, Tootie w/ rollerskates, Bev w/ Motorhome George w/ Toolbelt, Andy w/ tape player.

I would sell merchandise. I would let any station air it.

The show will be digitally remastered and sold in a whole 9 disc DVD packet.
