Default God obviously does not want us to see The Facts of Life

IMO, I think God is punishing us from the WTCs and the snipers and everything so he took off The Facts of Life! Because think of this:

Nick-At-Nite took off The Facts of Life about after the September 11th world trade centres crashing.

The Hallmark Channel just took off The Facts of Life right around the Sniper was caught.

Coicidence? I'm not sure.

What is your opinion?

It's just my guess that these execs in charge of programming has **** for brains. Excuse my language, but it is true.

God does not punish people, networks do. I guess the Facts of life just wasn't doing well ratings wise. I know that's hard to believe considering the FOL boards here.

This is the BIGGEST LOAD of poo I have heard in quite some time. How dare you compare a world tragedy to the events of 9-11. I lost friends that day, and because freaking FOL isn't on has absolutely no connection to that whatsoever.

Next time you make a claim like this, you'd better think twice about what you say. I don't accept your apology.

The Facts of Life going off the air doesn't have anything to do with national tragedies. Facts was off the N@N schedule by the end of June, so it's beyond me how you got 9/11 out of that.

But the only reason Facs isn't played anywhere is because those damn people they call programmers aren't smart enough to realize what a classic gem their missing. USA was the only network who treated FOL with some dignity. They had it for about 5 years on their schedule.

I don't think God is punishing us. The events of 9/11 and the sniper attacks are caused by evil people, not God.

And as far as FOL goes, that's part of life. Your favorite show can't be on somewhere all the time. I really like FOL, but it not being on is not even the same ballpark as the tragedies that this country has faced in the last year or so. No offense, but I really thing you might need to grow up/mature a little.

In my opinion FOL is a wonderful show, so I couldn't see how you could compare it to these events, and in the same way it has nothing to do with the show and because or the fact that Hallmark and Nick-at-Nite dosen't play the show dosen't exactly mean they're preventing us from seeing it. Hallmark still owns the rights to the show and has a chance a airing it again, so there is a possibility it might air it once again. I don't see how a one show could create a tradgedy, I wouldn't even put the FOL in the same catorgory.

Exactly. And FOL wasn't quite ripped off Hallmark around the time of the snipper, either. I don't think...

FOL has nothing to God. If there was punishment to be dealt, I'm sure God could come up with a lot worse.

Ditto. I dont even think it got pulled off around the time of those events, but if it did, its coincidence. PURELY coincidence.

Top 3 list of evil people:

3. The snipers

2. Al-Qaeda terrorists

1. THE CABLE NETWORKS WHICH TOOK OF FACTS OF LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think it's God's fault. I think Facts of Life is His sign--"If all would watch the Facts of Life, there WOULD BE NO MORE terrorists nor snipers. Because they would learn something about the facts of life!!!!!!!!!!" --says the Lord.

It's a SATANIC PLOT. That's why FOL is not on.
