Without a doubt, Facts of Life.

Three's Company is funnier but, theres just something about FOL. I think it's Over Our Heads, because you wouldn't expect that kind of thing to be around back then. It seems to "futuristic". Is anyone lost? If you know what im trying to say, and agree, thats great. Like, with Over Our Heads it seems like a kid's show, but it also makes it great!

The Yankees and what Roy did to me. Never, are you ever to mention that!

Well, personally I would pick FOL..

TC has things that have to do with a more mature level of viewing..yes, it may be funnier..but some things on that show are even worse than the controversal episodes of FOL..

But TC is also a good show even I think FOL rules. Well, it has to be a good show. After all it does have the highest ratings on N@N...

Three's Company is sometimes funny, but FOL tend to have more of a point and a message, you know what I mean? And I think that TC focuses WAY to much on sex.

Love The Facts Of Life · 03-24-2001, 08:28 PM

FOL is better TC is funny but i like FOL more.And I agree about TC talking about sex to much.I mean anything you say to Ms.Roper she always replays w/ somthing about sex.

Fol defianately. can you remember one ep of TC that didnt have something to do with sex? Think about it?

FOL-FAN · 03-24-2001, 09:00 PM

Definately FOL. TC's funny but is so full of sexual undertones it gets tiring.

03-24-2001, 10:08 PM

I know you can love more than one show, but I am guessing that the majority of people who come to this message board prefer FOL because it is one of their all-time-favorites.

Cokies · 03-24-2001, 11:01 PM

Putting the two shows in perspective, I can see how SOME(I highly stress the SOME there) might find Three's Company a better show, but the seasons without Chrissy are ten times worse than any 'Over Our Heads' episode. And every TC episode has the same basic storyline that is totally boring, it's VERY predictable. Plus, Jack bugs me.
Like someone said earlier, the 'facts' has something that TC does not, but I can't exactly pin point it exactly. You know what I mean?

Nope. I can't think of onfe ep. that has nothing to do with sex or has some kind of sexual comment in it. I also agree that TC is funny but it's not THAT funny. Sometimes their jokes are just stupid. FOL rules!!

Madness · 03-25-2001, 12:21 AM

It depends what kind of mood I'm in..but overall I'd have to say Three's Company. But, I only really like the Terri episodes. So, to make it not so confusing, I like Facts of Life better than Three's Company's first seasons. This seems to be a very difficult question. Two great shows being compared here.

I like them both...I do get annoyed when Mrs. Roper whines about sex tough....I prefer FOL last seasons mostly

If "The Facts Of Life" were all about you, why weren't u ever on the show?
