I see 40, 41, 42, 44, 45, and 46 are scheduled after this, 43 is skipped because it's a Valentines Episode

In addition to the ones I mentioned in my first post, there are more now!
By the way the Valentines Episode is 45, that WILL air. But Episode 43 will not air, I thought that was the Valentines one but it wasn't, sorry about that!

Ok here we go with the next batch:
Episodes 48, 49, 52/53 (2 parter)

48 was The Slumber Party one with some of the FOL girls, 49 I can't remember (check the Ds episode guide), and 52/53 was the Bank robbery episode, which was soooooo interesting!

Just in case you wanted to know, I got the scoop on the episode, The Girls School. Nick At NIte has currently dropped it from thier line-up, and are scheduled to show it when they need a big boost in the ratings. It may never air, but we can keep our fingers crossed. If you are desperate to see this episode, I know no one will do this but, you can stop watching Nick At Nite, and check out their schedule daily. I would never, ever do that, because when they need a boost in the ratings, they are doing abd, belive me, they never need the boost. I can keep you guys up to date a bit more then other concerned people because, my friend's neice works at Nickelodeon and A and E part time.

You know, I know we're supposed to be "greatful" that N@N even bothers to give us poor, pitiful idiots shows like Diff'rent Strokes and Facts of Life at all, but sometimes I feel like I'd rather not have the shows on at all than to have the runs butchered like a christmas hog.

A Half dozen episodes of FOL at one shot... nearly a dozen DS episodes dropped... By the time it's over and done with, N@N will be airing two episodes of each show.

Proposal: Nick at Nite has abused there privilage with the shows and they should be moved to TV Land. TV Land will not skip FOL "controversial" episodes and any in general

------------------
If "The Facts Of Life" were all about you, why weren't u ever on the show?
