Also 19, 20, 23, 25, 28/29 (2 parter), 31/32 (2 parter), 33, 36/37 (2 parter) will be skipped...and of course Episode 24
Unbelievable!!!

Totally 80's Sunday: 04-01-2001 11:00PM 051 - The Magician Arnold's "famous" magic disappearing act, designed to impress a magazine reporter and special guest star Dallas Cowboys' defensive end Ed "Too Tall" Jones, leaves him dangerously high and dry, with no place to go but down - about 30 stories
Totally 80's Sunday: 04-01-2001 11:30PM 062 - The Loan Arnold learns the true value of a dollar when Drummond turns down his request to lend $4,000 to the apartment building doorman anxious to take part in an attractive business deal.
04-02-2001 9:00PM 021 - The Trip - Part I The stars of "Diff'rent Strokes" and "Hello Larry" get together in a special, hilarious hour in which Phillip Drummond realizes that the purchase of a Portland radio station could mean the loss of a job for his old friend Larry Alder.
04-03-2001 9:00PM 022 - The Trip - Part II The stars of "Diff'rent Strokes" and "Hello Larry" get together in a special, hilarious hour in which Phillip Drummond realizes that the purchase of a Portland radio station could mean the loss of a job for his old friend Larry Alder.
04-04-2001 9:00PM 026 - Arnold's Girlfriend Arnold has appendicitis and Drummond has to deal with the bigotry of Fred Tanner, a potential housing project investor whose daughter is the key to getting Arnold to sit still for the operation.
04-05-2001 9:00PM 027 - Arnold's Girlfriend - Part II Arnold's life is endangered when the kids find out they can't share a room in the hospital and run away on the eve of Arnold's surgery
04-08-2001 9:00PM 030 - Mrs Garrett's Romance The Drummond household's curiosity over Mrs. Garrett's new beau turns first to surprise and then to alarm. Mrs. Garrett is in a dither over her first date with Leon, especially when it is followed by a very important question.
04-09-2001 9:00PM 034 - Father and Son Day Willis' cut-throat competitiveness with another boy at his gym leads him to a decision that he will very much regret, especially after it hurts Mr. Drummond and gives Arnold the right to say "I told you so." Baseball great Reggie Jackson makes his acting debut playing a key, but unsuspecting role in Willis' questionable scheme.
04-10-2001 9:00PM 035 - The Rivals Arnold ands Willis' relationship is threatened when a fickle female classmate, the object of Arnold's affection, turns her attention toward Willis. Arnold's first love is also his first lesson in jealousy as he competes with Willis for the same girl
04-11-2001 9:00PM 038 - Hot Watch Discovered in the wrong place at the wrong time, Willis and Arnold become prime suspects when their neighbor's apartment is robbed and they're caught with one of the stolen items. Mr. Drummond is convinced of his sons' innocence even though Willis' fingerprints are all over the place
04-12-2001 9:00PM 039 - A Dog Story Arnold saves a dog's life, is bitten and then the dog is needed to save Arnold. The Drummond household members frantically search for the ungrateful canine. While Arnold faces a series of rabies shots or death.

I see 40, 41, 42, 44, 45, and 46 are scheduled after this, 43 is skipped because it's a Valentines Episode

The episode of Diffrent Strokes entitled "The Girls School" which served as the Facts of Life pilot. Why aren't they showing it? That's crazy!

These particular episodes of FOL that attract fan interest will not be shown. The programmers are holding these episodes in reserve until the time comes when a special ratings boost is really needed, probably as a counter-programming move against the competition. In the meanwhile, they have created "fan buzz" and as long as fans of the show are desperate for more, Nick has got them hooked. The only solution for fans is the appearance of the upcoming Columbia House videos. The networks do not exist for your entertainment. They will only please you to the extent it makes the optimum profit for the stockholders. And that is a fact of life.

Thank you Burr..... I couldn't have said it better myself. Nick at Nite is an ad broker, not a company concerned with your entertainment. If they could seel ad space to Coke by airing test patterns all night, I promise you, they would do it.

I think that this schedule is very temporary. There are alot of shows on this schedule that are repeated on TVLand. This will begin to hurt the ratings of the second network and they will shuffle some more. The sad truth is, we are at their mercy. I wouldn't worry about the show getting canceled - they have exclusive rights on the show for at least another 17 months. Keep sending your emails and hopefully things will get better.
