It is still subject to change though. You FOL fans still have a chance!
But so far, after the marathon each night will be:
SUBJECT TO CHANGE (only this part):

After the Un-re-al-a-thons Sun-Thurs:

1-2AM Three's Company
2-3AM All In The Family
3-4AM The Jeffersons
4-5AM I Love Lucy
5AM Gilligan's Island

The Friday and Saturday sked. is to be the same!

You're right. N@N does change things a lot. Maybe we DO have a chance.

A summer without FOL? Maybe I should take that job at the ranch...

If they don't change it they WILL be hearing from me.

CourtGI44 · 06-16-2001, 02:35 PM

Does anyone else think it's really stupid to put the *same* shows on after the marathons every night as are in the marathons? TC & ILL have their own marathon days...they don't need to be shown for an hour during the wee hours of the morning either! FOL being in an early morning time slot would be better than nothing.
Let's keep praying for a 'Party Crasher' day.

Oh Well, Every Nite at 9:30 (eastern), I'll get out one of my FOL eps and act like that ep's on. I got 80-something, enough to last to mid-September if need be...

Why does N@N have to go and do crap like this. They're really starting to make me mad. I'm getting tired of the pushes DS and TC are getting (sorry fans of them shows), I want my FOL!!!!!

Sean Snow · 06-16-2001, 05:00 PM

TC hasn't gotten any real pushes since the marathon. It was put at 11:00 PM org., when the people who view it (a lot of late elem. students/ middle school students) are asleep.
FOL had two marathons, was put in the Revenge of the 80's marathon (When ALF did the voice overs he included TC, which wasn't in the marathon, but should have, since it spent 4 years in the 80's Vs. 3 years in the 70's).
See, FOL had good treatment in the last quarter of 2000. FOL took the Beverly Hillbillies and Gilligan's Island spots when it moved to 9PM, and they didn't do a lot of complaining, but FOL fans sid when DS took their spots. It was overadvertised, and NAN didn't get the spectaular ratings it thought it would (Ratings were very good, but not as good after the advertising.)
The Brady Bunch, Facts of Life, and Three's Company lost all their slots during the DS marathon, but they didn't complain, at least, not that much.
Sorry bout the above. Just had to let that out.

FOL fans still have a chance! NAN has been known to change it's mind.

Hopefully they're just trying to get us all excited about seeing it again after being deprived for a while. It should be back in the fall. Honestly, I don't like having TV obligations over the summer, I enjoy the break. It'll give us all a chance to warm up to the show again so that when they do bring it back, we can all become completely obsessed again.

panman · 06-16-2001, 06:53 PM

Hey, TVaddict, I never thought of that! I agree.

I agree. While I don't mind other shows getting their day in the sun (marathons), it has been a frustrating wait for seasons 6-8 to air after the initial run on Nick. I was hoping for this summer, but now it looks like fall. Who knows what time slot FOL will get in the upcoming line up.

Peekskill citizen · 06-16-2001, 10:09 PM

I don't know, but FOL's future on N@N is looking very, very bleak. Just think, in the fall two new shows are coming, Family Ties and Cheers. Which shows will be taken of N@N? Hopefully not Facts of Life.

Madness · 06-16-2001, 10:29 PM

I'd say the Beverly Hillbillies will be off as well as Laverne and Shirley(which personally, I think will get moved to TNN). And I Love Lucy is gone too don't forget so that frees up some time there. And I won't even attempt to guess what time Facts of Life will be on but I will for the heck of it. Maybe after midnight sometime? That's what I think. I'll go with 12:30am. Let's see how close I am.

I guess your right. But if I can't get that summer job and N@N stops showing FOL I'll have to get a new hobby. MAN!!!!

I'll have to pull some kind of ploy to get to work at that ranch. No FOL?

Yeah, that sounds good to me. I just hope they don't start back at season one. I want to see episode 7-9. I need to see "Where's Poppa." I've been waiting months!
