In 3 days it will be removed from their library 😞. It has been so nice being able to stream every season. I hope it lands somewhere else.

The Roku Channel still carries a few seasons at a time of it.

I'm really upset about this. Facts is my happy place. It takes me back to my youth and it has helped me feel better when I was really going through it with my depression. I have it on when I'm folding laundry and doing household chores.

I made it all the way to mid-Season 8 and now this. I'm really mad. :

I'm not sure why The Facts of Life has to leave Tubi right now. It's disappointing. And I still can't watch the two Diff'rent Strokes episodes with Natalie and Blair because of DS still not having its closed-captioning converted to lowercase like TFoL already has. I didn't think TFoL would disappear from Tubi anytime soon, or ever, because we'll have to go back to dealing with just three seasons of TFoL being rotated every month or two. I was actually thinking TFoL (literally all of its episodes, no less) would stay on Tubi forever.

I'm pretty disappointed about this myself, but you never know. After all, "The Partridge Family" and "Silver Spoons" were pulled from Tubi a short while back, only to return a short time later. Maybe, just maybe, "Facts" could be back on Tubi in the not-too-distant future.

Maybe they have to do it this way for some kind of legal reasons... something in their contract with the production company that owns the rights.

The Facts of Life disappearing from Tubi this week has made me resent Diff'rent Strokes even more. Sony Pictures Television needs to keep Diff'rent Strokes off of those free SVoD streaming sites until its CC gets converted to lowercase and those uppercase-only National Captioning Institute captions it has right now are GONE! I've just had enough of this neglect and non-willingness by Sony TV to get such a conversion done.

I don't care how many of DS's castmenbers have died. All-capitals CC and the sound of Natalie Green's voice just DO NOT MIX! That is EXACTLY why I couldn't bring myself to watch those two DS episodes featuring Natalie and Blair. An absolute DISGRACE!

And don't get me started on DS using Cooper Black (which also reminds me of Natalie Green) for its credits.
