hello,

as i posted earlier, i work for a documentary production co. that is currently doing a TVography on FOL for A&E. We need Behind the Scenes footage and have so far found none.

Some of you mentioned having seen some on Entertainment Tonight and E! True Hollywood Story. Does anybody:

-know the exact dates these aired?

or even better:

-have a video copy we could buy from you (or copy and send you back the original?)

Please let us know-
thanks!

The Bloopers...didn't they air on that NBC 75th aniversary thing? I don't remember any BLOOPERS on the E! True Hollywood story, just clips from episodes... but I do remember people talking about bloopers or something on the 75th anniversary thing for NBC? That was the day Karly met Lisa...cause I just went back and read that topic, so that would've aired.....May 5th, 2001...but I dont' know if it was just a clip from "Dope" that they showed, or if they showed bloopers too...

FOLrocks1 · 10-22-2002, 07:07 PM

I have the blooper that aired about a year or so ago hosted by Dick Clark.....It was [I think] from the 2nd Season.

FOLrocks1 · 10-22-2002, 07:09 PM

Oh yeah.....I also have an ET special about something FOL and it showed a little bit of Asada Kalada [SP?] working on the set of Edna's Edibles with Lisa and nancy....It is somewhat short...

"Entertainment Tonight" (a/k/a ET) air dates (one of these ET episodes had the FOL behind-the-scenes footage from 1982, I believe):

Feb. 3, 2001 - For "The Pressure To Be Thin In Hollywood" episode, ET used once again used the same Lisa footage as the "TV's Greatest Scandals" segment but changed the narration (ET Weekend edition) (re-aired 8/25/01)

March 10, 2001 - For "Whatever Happened To Your Favorite TV Stars?" episode, ET once again used the same Lisa footage as the "TV's Missing Stars" segment but changed the narration (ET Weekend) edition; this episode included Kim Fields footage and 1985 Mindy Cohn footage (re-aired 10/13/01)

July 24, 2001 - ET aired a segment about Lisa and her family's year-long RV trip. Filmed 7/13/01, the day they left on their RV adventure

Ooops, forgot that a vidclip from one of the Entertainment Tonight shows might still be on this webpage. Click on the video link at:

Also, if you're interested in a (very long) transcript from the 1999 E! True Hollywood Story show on FOL (until you can snag a copy of the video), you can find it here on two pages:

bummer.... i thought this would actually be new clips. not just a true hollywood story remake.

pangolinpictures · 10-23-2002, 12:14 PM

actually there is plenty of new footage. We've already shot interviews w/ many of the cast, writers, and producers. We simply need some behind the scenes footage from the series

FOLrocks1 · 10-23-2002, 12:24 PM

I have the FOL E! True Hollywood story....wasn't it titled "The Facts of Life Girls"?

You mean as huge a broadcast company as A&E can't call up E! and ask them for a copy? That sounds quite odd. Plus, you can't just "use" a copy -- there are copyright laws and such...

What's goin on here?

I'm not sure if this is the same thing that was going on on a GWTW community I belong to but I think A&E, The discovery Channel ect hire small film makers to make documentaries for them...I'm not sure how it works exactly but I know this is what I have heard before...

I'm with Jayman... I doubt that any production company would go onto a fan site and ask for used tapes to broadcast on A&E. Maybe if it were for some independent channel. Its kind of unprofessional..do your own research.
