Thumbs down I've changed my mind...

I've decided that if N@N puts FOL on a brake it would benefit the fans. I don't want to see it go but I can no longer deny the decrease in the show. I'll miss Jo too. But It is for the best,in my opinion. Sorry... I just can't deny it to myself that FOL needs a brake.

well if N@N does drop it, then maybe some other network will pick it up and won't chop it up soo much. I don't think there going to drop it...it's just not going to be one of the TV shows that's on everyday.

I certainly hope I don't work for that Nick at Night! If I did I'd tell you,though. All I said was If N@N gives it a brake we'd be wanting it more when it comes back on. If they drop it I'd sue!

Yeah but why would they want to add back a show that hasnt been on for two months and while they have other shows to fit in. They really dont care now and they probably aren't gonna in September either.

I sure hope they don't drope it even though they are being very picky on which eps to show. But if they do drope it I hope another channel picks it up and mabe they well not be as cruel to the shows fans as NAN is being. But if they drope it and no one picks it up then I'll be very upset.

Well, I would say that seasons 1-6 need a break, but not necessarily seasons 7-9. Many people haven't seen them. Well, for me-it's no big deal because I am more than familiar with them...I've even seen them during their first run on NBC. They're OK, but not my favorite seasons. But boy Max, I can't believe you said that-- won't you suffer if you don't see Jo every night?.......(Will the real Max please step forward? Just kidding, of course.....)

I wonder....Max, do you have them seasons on tape? Cause that seems to me to make the most sense why you said that.

I don't have many episodes on tape and I would suffer. But thats my point! Then I would be craving it more. Keep in mind I said "brake", not cancellation. By no means would I wish it gone for good!

I see where you're coming from. If the supply goes down, demand goes up...so if they have it off the air for 3 months and then put it back on in say, October, everyone who hasn't seen it that summer will want to see it then. The ratings will skyrocket and they will make more profit.

True. I would do me some good since I need to do other things this summer, and I am sure there are others like us who want a break. Then, we'll be more thirsty for FOL in the fall. But can we trust N@N to bring back FOL in the fall? I've seen them bring back shows before...but still I don't trust them 100%.

You've pointed out an important fact. I trust them about 25%. I wish DID work at N@N so I could quit!
