If you take a look at the left side of the screen (in the frame), there is a little picture from the intro of the show. It says PG. So far, all the Facts of Life episodes I've seen are G, because there's nothing bad in them. Were there only like 3 or 4 PG rated ones ? (Like The First Time, etc.)

NIck at Nite (those evil ****s!) probably aren't airing the PG rated episodes.

I mean, if "The First Time" is too offensive for the viewers, well, I doubt we'd see the episodes about suicide, rape, or pregnancy.

But hey, did you catch that All in the Family episode where Edith was almost raped? Good show.

Stupid nick at nite.

Oh, I know! I remember seeing that AITF episode and saying "Well, if they'll show that on N@N, they should show 'I Do, I Do'!" (It's an episode of L&S that N@N doesn't air). And they'll show someone on precious All in the Fmaily almost get raped but they won't shoe someone on their top-rated show (of now, not when it was in its first run) almost get raped or lose her virginity. They'll show Tootie get drunk but they won't show Sue Ann get high (Or Laverne, Shirley, Lenny, and Squiggy for that matter). They'll show Archie kiss another woman (several times, I might add) but they won't show Natalie's dad have an affair. I'm really confused. I thought the whole point of the Facts of Life was to teach kids the ::gasp:: facts of life. Hence the name, the Facts of Life. ::rolls eyes:: I swear, N@N annoys me so much.

I agree with everyone that NaN is stupid.It is soooo unfair that they won't show the "PG" episodes of fof. I wrote a letter to them but they said that they could not answer individual comment about what shows they should air, what episodes they should include,and any ideas for a show. All that they can do is forward if

I totally agree with what you all are saying about Nick-At-Nite..I think they should run all the episodes of Facts Of Life...Because the girls practically always learn a lesson from their actions! So why not show them so other people can learn the lesson with not acually having the "Hands on Experience" You know what I mean!? The only reason I can think of N@N not showing some of the Facts Of Life episodes that touch on some of the same subjects of the other shows on N@N are because kids look up to the girls? Who knows..All I know is I would really like see all the episodes sense I tape them!
