Anyone really disappointed that FOL isn't on twice a night now?

Don't get me wrong I am thankful we get to see the 1st season of Diff'rent Strokes w/Mrs. G but after she is gone I will lose interest.
I really liked the back to back eps of FOL>

I hate the fact that 3's Company is still ONE HOUR!!! Why won't they cut that back? I wish they would! I hate it so!! I miss 2 episodes a night of FOL!

oh.. i have a different opinoin.. althoguh i LOOOOOVVVEEEE FOL... i was getting sick of it.. not liek "sick" to the point where i couldnt' watch it anymore.. but i was getting to the point where i knew EVERY line of EVERY episode and ugh.. its just got old.. so i'm glad i get this breather.. but dont worry i'll get back into it fast!

just give me time to miss it and then i'll be totally obsessed again!

my friends who knew i was hooked now ask.. didnt you watch you show last night? and im like nope and they like fall over in shock!

i kinda like it this way even though i haven't seen all the eps. yet and don't know them line from line. like for the 2 and 3 parters i kinda like bein' in suspence. But not 4 2 long. but that's just my opinion.

I'm not sick of FOL, but I have six weeks left in the semester, I row and we're getting ready to start racing so I basically have no free time between now and Mother's Day when school and crew will be over with. So I can deal with it only on once a night since I have too much other stuff to do at the moment, but I'll be ready for Block Party Summer!

yeah, i think having only 1 ep a nite is a good break from the whole FOL-thing. like someone else mentioned, i'm not totally sick of the show, it just kind of loses it's flavor nite after nite after episode after episode.

Yeah I agree I kinda like having only one episode a night.I still really love the show but it dos'nt seem to be as exciting anymore.I mean I don't get as excited as I used to I guess it might just be the later seasons ya know. But I think it N@N showed the conturversail(sp) episodes then it might boost the ratings a bit. that's just a thought.well I guess I'vetalked long anough now

Personally, I know some of you may disagree, but I think one episode a night is better. I think the reason they made it one episode a night is because DS is now on and there may not be enough time for two episodes, though all other shows have two episodes. But remember FOL and DS are in the same timeblock.

I have not seen all the episodes, so I have enjoyed watching seasons 1-7. But what really makes me mad, is that NAN is now going back to season 1, which we just saw 3 1/2 months ago! I know that they wanted to match up DS with FOL, but what would it have hurt to wait another 1 1/2 - 2 months in order to show seasons 8-9?. Now we will have to sit thru all those episodes that we just saw -- talk about getting sick of them!
Does anyone else agree?
