What happened to Facts on the substations and Pluto? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

WriterChick78 · 02-10-2022, 04:03 PM

Hi, again! This is Writerchick78 in New Orleans. I haven't written in a while, but I lurk a lot. So, anyway, I'm miffed that Facts is not currently on Antenna, Me, Cozi, OR even streaming on Pluto. What happened? And, what happened to any of our beloved 80s shows recently? None of those channels show anything from that era at all anymore. I'm such a sad Gen Xer. I lost my soaps, my malls, and now my 80s reruns! I miss knowing I could see some episode of Facts at least once a day. Thoughts?

Hi WC! Some of us remember you!

Sorry to hear it's not streaming anywhere. If you'd like, I encourage you to get the DVDs so you can have your Eastland fix anytime you want!

I have been reliving some grandmother memories lately by recording lots of Murder, She Wrote on Cozi.

WriterChick78 · 02-10-2022, 04:18 PM

Hey, Eighties!! Cozi also has great 90s reruns late at night. I have nothing to watch at the that time because the late shows on NBC have been preempted due to Olympic coverage.

Hey WriterChick! We did not forget you!

I have no idea where FOL is now being broadcast or streamed, as I watch the DVDs instead. These also have the advantage of mostly being unedited episodes.

WriterChick78 · 02-10-2022, 04:43 PM

Hey, Retro!! I guess I will have to get the DVDs, or I can buy seasons on Amazon.

Wow, I miss talking to y'all!

WriterChick78 · 02-10-2022, 04:46 PM

When old pals still remember you...I'm having a "Little Chill" moment!

Nevermind, WriterChick. You had to be there.

BTW, I'm now a highly-paid vice president in the corporate world.

I, uh, have to make a very important phone call, right now. Important, VP-level stuff.

I guess that means 80s Dude is pregnant with Lorimar's baby?

Like my name, I want to pursue my writing, so I manage a shift at a Mexican restaurant to make ends meet. College can wait. Been there, done that, while still in high school. Remember, don't ever hire your closest friends!!!
