I was born on June 13, 1972 in Texas, USA. I remember watching THE FACTS OF LIFE during it's debuts years. Who here are from the 1st. Generation?

Although I have been reading this message board for awhile, I just began posting today. I too am a first generation Facts of life fan.
It is nice to know there are so many new fans out there too!

so am I!! I was watching it in college(1981) I just love it, it brings back so many memories!!

Born in 1972 too and I have to admit, I never watched it because we did not get NBC at that time. My friends all watched it though. I'm a regular Nick At Nite watcher anyway so I thought it was great to see that they would be running FOL. I am watching all these episodes for the first time. It's a great show and brings me back to the 80's, thought I think for the most part the episodes are pretty timeless.

Im sorry, im not a first gen(born in '85),but I still love the show. Im just lending my support to keep the 'facts' on nick-at-nite for a long time.

llbean · 11-17-2000, 12:04 AM

Yes, I am also supporting Nick at Nite for showing fol, because when it was on originally, yes, we did not have VCR's shudder at the thought!! Have a great day y'all!!!!

What are you talking about?? I had a VCR throughout FOL'S original run. I had a VCR in '76.

I believe I am third generation, based on something said on the E True Hollywood Story...

first Generation... those who saw the original run.

Second generation- 1993 USA viewers.

third generation- N@N converts.

I am from the 1st generation. But I did not have a VCR back then either. Wish I had though.

I started watching Wed nights back in 1984 at age 7. I guess that make me 1st generation. The show was syndicated in 1986 for 5 day week airings.

Well..I am not sure what I am..(born in '85) I used to watch it when I was little and could name all the characters!(my mom and grandmother watched it and so did I) So I guess I am a first generation fan too..Even though I am young..When it came on Nick at Nite something just clicked and I new exactly who they were...(I never watched it on USA)
