It starts with the pilot tomorrow, going head-to-head against Logo airings. But GAC Family is better, full closing credits and no ads for trashy shows. And all the FOL airings are on the clock unlike their other shows.

That means they're airing it with syndication edits. I'd rather see full episodes off the clock.

I don't know what "on the clock" and "off the clock" means. But I don't think anyone would air full episodes anymore, not since the 1980s. I imagine everything has syndication edits.

If you look at the GAC Family schedule or TV Guide, many of their sitcoms air in approx. 36 minute segments over 3 hours. So what would normally be 6 episodes over that period is 5, since the extra half hour is taken by 6 extra minutes times 5.

With that extra time GAC shows the full episode, not the syndication cut. Evidently they either chose not to for FOL, or the full episodes aren't available for syndication.

Well then are the shout factory FOL dvds full episodes? And I know the Sony one’s are for sure not.

On most of the DVDs, IIRC, they time out in the 24+ minute range, which would be full episodes. I know there are a few which are syndication edits, probably because they couldn't find the full network-version videotape.

I think most of the Sony ones are full? I mean, they're definitely not some of the syndicated cuts, at least.

Looks like they pulled the Facts of Life episodes off and put Bewitched on instead.

Logo the last time that I checked, is still airing it though.

I would have rather it left Logo instead. GAC Family airings were less edited with a lot more show airing and full closing credits. Also, they don't have ads for trashy shows.
