Revenge of the 80's? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

01-22-2001, 09:41 PM

I just saw this ad on N@N for something airing all March long called "Revenge of the 80's" I got a feeling we're going to start seeing a lot of shows we've been wanting to see. I already know they'll beshowing FOL, I caught that. What else I wonder?

------------------
Andy: You're sexy lingerie. That's what i named you.

(skip a few lines)

Jo: Jo: I will not be known as SExy Lingerie.

George: I don't know, something about that appeals to me.

Jo hits George

What shows did you see in this ad? Facts of Life and Three's Company no doubt will air...

FOL was all I saw for sure, but I know there was others. I'd say this change will boot off permenantely all pre-80's shows. This will usher in my "New Era of Classic Shows".

Here's a list of all I think will be around

Facts of Life (duh)
Three's Company
Head of the Class
Perfect Strangers
(something else I forgot the name of)
If they hadn't have sent it to TNN, The Wonder Years would be on this list.
Anything else?

Not sure but I think I saw Different Strokes lised in the commercial... I wasn't actually looking at the television when the commercial was playing but did see the very end. That was when I thought I saw Different Strkes listed.

What about Webster and Silver Spoons? Someone said those too!

Pavan · 01-22-2001, 10:32 PM

Someone said Alf too!

Pippa McKenna · 01-22-2001, 10:58 PM

I can't believe we might get to see the FOL pilot on Diff'rent Strokes!!!!

------------------
Tootie:It can't be that mu-Lord send us back to slavery.

Natalie:What's the 1st thing I said when I got out of the Hot Tub?

Tootie:Whoa,it's freezing in here.

Jo:You're Japanese how could you do this to a Kawasaki?

Miko:Father will pay for the damage.After he kills me.

Jo:He'll have to take a number.

The Obsolete Man · 01-22-2001, 11:03 PM

If memory serves me, they're showing ALF, FOL, Diff'rent Strokes, Silver Spoons, Square Pegs, and 227.

ALF!!!!

ALF on Nick at Nite! It's a dream come true!!!!! If only it were on there permanently!

And Diff'rent Strokes... they sure better show the FOL Pilot and the Aronld and the Pedophile episodes....

cvgrule · 01-22-2001, 11:05 PM

Yes, I also saw this ad and some of the shows I remember seeing were The Facts of Life, Alf, 227, Silver Spoons, Different Strokes, plus others I can't remember. The thing is, they really didn't tell us what they meant by it. Like did they mean they are going to start showing these shows or are they releasing them on video or something? The weirdest thing of it all was that they showed a record and a cassette in the commercial making it seem that it was for a music compilation but I think they were just mocking those kinds of commercials. Oh well, we'll just wait and see in March! -Mike.

The Obsolete Man · 01-22-2001, 11:10 PM

N@N has always done weird commercials like that... they had a Welcome Back, Kotter commercial that was much the same back in 95/96.

I'm thinking it's either gonna be a week or month devoted to these shows, because N@N doesn't release videos, and none of these shows are scheduled to be added to N@N's permanent schedule.

And speaking of the schedule, why isn't Family Ties in this? That's their next new show... why not feature it in this Revenge of the 80s thing?

BIGTootiefan · 01-22-2001, 11:12 PM

you guys, I saw that commercial, and I think it's a cd soundtrack! cause it looked like it had a cd case.

------------------
Tootie: We are in Troubllle!

Nat: Who wants to be a skinny pencil? I'd rather be a happy magic marker!

factsofnatalie · 01-22-2001, 11:13 PM

sorry kinda off topic but Pippa McKenna, where is this quote from?

Natalie:What's the 1st thing I said when I got out of the Hot Tub?
Tootie:Whoa,it's freezing in here.

The Obsolete Man · 01-22-2001, 11:14 PM

...you guys take things waaaaaaaaaaay too literally.

Oh, and factsoflifenatalie, that quote was from part 2 of the 9th season opener... the one where Jo is housesitting for Richard Moll and destroys his house.

If you watched it closely, they specifically say it is for 6 nights only and doesn't necessarily mean they will add these shows to their lineup... but let's face it - that week is going to generate a huge amount of ratings for them! hopefully they will move some of their shows from the 60's and 70's to to TNN or TV Land and show the 80's sitcoms on Nick at Nite..

Here's the shows they're showing.

Facts of Life.
Diff'rent Strokes
Silver Spoons
Alf
Square Pegs
227

I REALLY hope they show the Diff'rent Strokes Ep. that is the Pilot for FOL. That would be a big treat for FOL fans

------------------
Guy: I want two for tonight

Nat: Which two?
