I haven't complained about N@N for a long time, until now.. - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

BlairW_2 · 03-23-2001, 08:29 PM

Okay, this is the first time I am complaining about N@N for a while. But I think that the scehedule for FOL is just the most confusing it could get. Not to mention unorganized. Not only is N@N performing this outragous action of going from season one to season seven then BACK to season one again, but can't they stick to ONE time?

There are episodes on at 10:00 PM..5:30 AM..2:30AM..9:00 PM..it is almost like they pick the times out of a hat! Nothing against N@N, but if they keep this up I am not going to watch the network. Whatever happened to the simple one hour block of FOL with another showing of that episode in the morning?

Also, first N@N puts FOL double episodes. Then one episode. Then double episodes. Now one episode AGAIN? It is also not attractive to viewers that they go from season to season. I can understand if it was for example season 7 or 8..but season 1 and 8?

I know that we are lucky we even GET Facts of Life, and I am greatful for it. N@N doesn't have to give us FOL at all..but I don't think this ever happened to any other show..

One word...
PREJUDICE!!!!!
N@N has PLENTY of viewers for FOL so they think that they can maybe pare it down to one ep a night and other at un-Godly hours of the morning. Other shows, like Threes Company, don't have as many viewers so maybe if N@N lost a lot of FOL viewers the might put an hour block of FOL on again. I think that's what happened last time... Hope I didn't lose you!

I think Three's Company is the number 1 show on Nick-at-Nite, that's why it still has it's back to back episodes. If I'm wrong, someone correct me on this.

Thanks.

People, this is why we have to keep on writing to Nick at Nite! Tell them how you feel in a nice way. I think all of our letters brought back FOL to 2 episodes last time. Don't give up!

Madness · 03-24-2001, 03:53 AM

I meant ratings wise BlairandJo. I just wanted to hear if someone heard that too. You don't have to get defensive.

coily2 · 03-24-2001, 12:09 PM

Oh no.... not another N@N Sucks thread.

If you guys aren't happy with the N@N schedule, write them! Posting here that you think that it's a conspiracy or that you think that other shows during the line up are bad is not going to change anything.

Sorry if I sound crabby, I just get so tired of reading these N@N posts.

To settle a couple of points, yes, Three's Company is currently their #1 rated show. Yes, the humor is a little more mature than FOL. If you don't like it, don't watch it. But spare us the conspiracy theories about it.

Madness · 03-24-2001, 12:33 PM

Thanks coily. I thought I heard that--just wanted to make sure I'm not crazy. I too wish the Nick-at-Nite bashing would stop but somehow I don't think it will!

03-24-2001, 01:13 PM

Yes, I'm guilty as charged regarding bashing Nick. You see, Nick is my favorite channel because of its programming, but Nick never used to be guilty of so many errors like the other channels. No network is perfect, but there ae no sports, breaking news etc to interrupt its scheduling so basic things like a show beginning and ending on time shouldn't be a problem. And the number of times Nick has changed its line up since Sept. makes it hard follow your favorite shows. Since Oct. my on screen guide has rarely been correct for episode titles. Now I go to Nick's site for schedules and even they're incorrect. The big picture concerns the decrease in quality that Nick was known for.

God you guys, what's the big deal?
All I hear is 'Whah, blah, whah!' I think i've heard this before.
And what would you achieve if you just stopped watching the network? Their ratings would go down, then they would take off the 'Facts' and then NONE of us would be happy. It's okay to miss an episode as well, i'm sure you'll see it again sometime.
Let's just not fret about EVERYTHING.
