Hey,Does Anyone we caused Hallmark to take off FOL,

Hallmark is getting to be a regular channel for some people now...something they werent before...so they are probably just changing around their schedules and shows every chance they get to get more people to watch whatever it is they have on at the time...which is a good plan i mean it worked for TVL but cummon now did they really have to take off FOL??

Hallmark really isn't what it used to be, and now they take off The Facts of Life without any notice. When they pick-up a show, they leave it on their network, then in a flash it is immediatly gone, and never seen again, hopefully that won't be the case for The Facts of Life. I still think, Why did it have to be The Facts of Life!

those hallmark jackasses! they have been playing Bewitched and I Dream of Jeanie re-runs forever. today was the third time i've seen the same bewitched ep in one month. and to think they could be showing fol instead of re-running biwitched and i dream of jeanie. i mean seriously, i've seen the same jeanie ep about major nelson wanting to go on a fishing trip/vacation 3 diffrent times too. uugh

Ditto! I'm so sick of seeing Bewitched and Jeannie. I used to like Jeannie, but now it seems so corny to me. I can still watch Bewitched (Dick York years), but I don't even watch that show anymore.

I had no idea they were replacing FOL with The Beverly Hillbillies! My goodness, thats so sad! I think N@N or something that I have should pick it up, and keep it!

The thing is why did they even pick up BH? It's everywhere. I know some people might like the show, but damn. Look at this. Just look at this.

It comes on for a full hour at 11 A.M after Gomer
It comes on for 30 minutes at 7 P.M after Beaver
It comes on again for 30 minutes at 11 P.M. after Beaver
It comes on again at 5 A.M. for 30 minutes after Batman.

How many airings is this? 5 airings just on TVL. Add the 2 episodes that Hallmark shows. What I'm saying is if they did have to drop FOL, they could've added something that isn't shown a million times a day.

Edited: Can somebody tell me something if they remember TVL's original schedule? Did they have so many filler shows when it first started out? I can name about 3 or 4 shows that are on just about everytime I turn TVL on. I think when TVL first started out they were pretty creative with the schedule. Granted, I didn't love every show on the first schedule. However, if you gave me a choice between the creative schedule and the schedule now- I would prob. have to say I would take the creative schedule. The one good thing about the schedule we have now is that some of us finally got to see some episodes of ABP. I think I'm done bitching for now. Thanks for allowing me to rant over here.

I agree with you one that!

Impressions · 11-07-2002, 05:39 PM

Ditto, I agree with Jenny, The Beverly Hillbillies is getting too much attention, it's time that Hallmark picks The Facts of Life, because it is getting ignored by networks. if they're going to air shows, why dosen't each show have an equal amount of airing time, show like The Beverly Hillbillies stay very long on networks that air this show and are played in many timeslots during the day. Compared to The Facts of Life which has a limited time on network with fewer time slots. The Facts of Life deserves a chance, and needs to be aired again.
