You know, they would probably release My MOther The Car if they got enough requests for it.

That doesn't necessarily mean they ever will, though. Same goes for The Facts of Life.

Don't ever get my hopes up about something like this again.

Guh.

There's no harm in asking...

So it would be like on a video- the type you buy in a store?

REPLY TO "MUSTANG MIMI"

Columbia House is something like a volume section place. You have to tell them what show you want and they'll send you a new volume of the series every month until the series is done with its volumes. Don't worry you can send it back if you choose not to like that volume, even if you do play it as many times you will like, although it has to be returned in 10 days. Don't worry, Columbia House will not ever hook you up to anything weird... I have been a member for a couple years and I loved it! I have 2 Video collections thanks to them! And trust me, they're videos are so good, You won't even ever want to send them back!

Yeah, but this is IF they decide to release FOL, right? And if they do...how much does this run for?

JoRocks87FOL · 12-10-2000, 03:13 PM

Bev: i dont want any hanky panky business going on here tonight!
Dwane: Sweet dreams Blair
Jo: hanky meet panky!

The Obsolete Man · 12-10-2000, 03:17 PM

They usually run twenty bucks per video. Of course, there's somewhere between three and four episodes on the video, so it's worth it.

nick10 · 12-10-2000, 03:41 PM

REPLY TO QUESTION "HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?"

The cost for the tapes if you sign up to the Facts of Life video collection from Columbia House, The Cost Is $19.95, But that is extremley cheap considering they're all uncut and commercial free and carries 4 episodes per tape. Believe me folks, I am almost 100% sure you will love your videos of the "FOL"! So Please folks let them know by e-mail, phone # or wright to them and tell them you want them to relese every episode of the facts of life! Includeing "Dope", "First Time", "Breaking Point" & "The Affair" (The ones that nick@nite won't air!)

ADDRESSES & NUMBERS ARE ABOVE...

It will work if you write them enough! Last year us "Airwolf' fans got together and started an on-line petition and after the votes closed they were sent to Columbia House, now "Airwolf" is apart of their club, and let me tell you, the picture & sond quality is on the DVD level.

flower · 12-19-2000, 04:41 PM

i sent my e-mail, and i hope all you out there please send one too. then it said that the mail was undeliverable. does anyone know another e-mail address?

Jo-Po Rox · 12-19-2000, 05:34 PM

Getting back to the price thing again, There are approximately 209 episodes of the FOL. If they would divide them into 4 episodes per video for $20 a piece, then that would be around 52 video tapes and would cost around $1,000 wont it?

Warner520 · 12-19-2000, 06:04 PM

That's a lot of money...how much would it cost per DVD ?
