Exclamation Everyone Read!

Ok, in the last hour there have been 85 new posts. That is amazing. FOL has more fan support than any other show I've ever seen, and if we all send an e-mail to N@N everytime we post something, then they will get the point we are trying to make, and eventually realize one hour of FOL will be in their best interest. So come on folks, e-mail them one or two times a day, it isn't hard. There e-mail addy is
postmaster@tvland.com.

Come on people, we CAN make a difference!

I know, I never relized FOL was so popular. Its amazing that a show that went off the air almost 13 years ago can still generate this much interest!

Stanley Roper: I'm sorry Jack

Jack Tripper: Oh, thats ok, what did you do?

Roper: Me? Nothing, I just thought I saw something that wasnt normal, because it was normal, but, now I can see it aint normal, so, everything's back to normal again.

Jack: oh, well, I'm glad for you.

I've sent three letters. It's about my bedtime, but I'll do more.

We need to make sure all our points are stated in the letters. We need to:

1) Keep TFOL in a back-to-back hourlong block
2) Please run ALL episodes, even if they are of a "sensitive nature."

Those were my main points. Anything else ?????

You know what? I think I have figured why at least in the ending credits of season one we are seeing scenes that actually were not seen in the episode. It seems that for the season one ending credits they show scenes from a variety of different episodes, not just the one we have just seen. For instance, they showed the shot of Tootie in the blond wig in the ending credits tonight but the scene was no where in the episode. I remember seeing that scene in the episode where Tootie's father wanted to take her out of Eastland. I believe that Natalie gave her the wig as a goodbye present because they had had plans to open up their own beauty parlor. There are other shots in the ending credits that come from other episodes as well.

I've sent 5 letters so far today, and I have a sort of pen-pal thing going with them. Everytime they send me that so-called "reply" I send them another letter!

I agree Abbey. At the end of last night's ep with Blair and her boyfriend in the van I noticed that in the ending credit music they were showing scenes from other episodes.

The popularity of FOL is amazing. Several of the women I work with who also engineers, architects, etc. occasionally catch N@N and were commenting on being surprised about George Clooney being on some of the shows. They don't post on message boards but the point is that this show is popular amongst new viewers and us old viewers from the 80's. All you have to do is go to the main page for all the message boards on this site and FOL is by far the most popular board.

I agree that we should keep sending the e-mails to N@N so that they don't get any more brilliant ideas about showing less FOL episodes the next time they decide to revise their schedule.

In the first four episodes, the ending credits were either bloopers or scenes N@N cut, I'm assuming. Episodes 5-13 show the the same ending credit scenes in every episode; they're various scenes from various episodes. Mr. Bradley in that odd outfit was from "Molly's Holiday." Tootie in the blonde wig was from the episode where her father wants to take her out of Eastland, etc.
