Wow there are sure a lot of FoL fans here! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Purple Velvet Bohemian · 02-01-2001, 06:52 PM

Wow! I had no idea there were so many FoL fans out there! I am just curious, how old are you guys? I am the same age as the girls in the cast, and I used to watch it when it was on the first time. I didn't start watching the reruns until this year, and man it sure brings back memories. I can remember when Jo first came on the show. I told my Mom that has got to be Phillip McKeon's (Tommy on Alice) sister! They look so much alike! Well, anyway I'm glad there are people who like the show, that means it will be on Nick at Nite for a while.

I'm 18 and I did watch the last 2 seasons in there orginal run.

Maybe in a book."

------------------
Tootie: hot stuff coming through, and the pizza's are warm too!

Jinny: i think i am going to give up men
Magda: you, give up sex?
Jinny: i didn't say i was giving up sex, i just said i was giving up men! to tell you the truth i kinda like the idea of becoming intamate with something that comes with a money-back gaurentee!

Jinny: You sure he's still up and moving around there, Cap?
Captin: Jinny do you really think that a crack about the age of your commanding officer is the smartest thing you could say under the circumstances
Jinny: umm.. probley not
Captin: thats what I thought

I'm fourteen, going on fifteen. I just started to watch the show on a regular basis a couple of months ago.

ToddAO70 · 02-01-2001, 08:08 PM

I'm 17 1/2. I've been watching FOL since the 9th season. I also watched it while it was on the USA networks and just started watching it again in September when they started showing them again.

02-01-2001, 08:31 PM

I'm 11 going on 12 this February 28! I started watching the show starting with the opening marathon on N@N. But I first found out about it and DS when CNN said that Dana Plato (Kimberly on DS) had died. I then started finding out about DS, discovered FOL, www.sitcomsonline.com/diffrentstrokes.html www.thefactsoflife.com/
and I took off. Now, I'm hooked! (and visit TJ's FOL website, because the very first FOL website on the internet, www.thefactsoflife.com/ hasn't been updated since not long after it went off USA) Bye!~Mary
