you want believe how popular fol really is read this!!!!

[Male-Facts-Of-Life-Fan]

First hi everyone, its great to be back after 2 months. Just wanted to let everyone in on something I discovered today. I seen where Fol had over 4000 posts on this board. That is an astounding number to say the least. I thought to myself Fol had to be in the top 5 shows on here. Well not only was it in the top 5, but it was number one. It blows all shows away. The mumber 2 show was Chico and something with around 1500 posts. Not Friends,Family Ties, Lucy or any other sitcom in Fol's league. I mean from the 50's to present time. So this should show how immencly popular are beloved Fol is. I wish these ridiculous networks would wake up and see this. Just thought everyone would find this interesting.

[PhoenixMcKeonism]

Is facts of life.... really the most popular 80's tv show? I thought it was either family ties or cheers http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif.. I would believe it... its so entertaining... i was so depressed this weekend... and this show cheered me up everytime i heard the corny theme song LOL

#02- "Chico and the Man" (1974-1978)
#03- "Three's Company" (1977-1984)
#04- "Happy Days" (1974-1984)
#05- "Diff'rent Strokes" (1978-1986)

#09- "Laverne & Shirley" (1976-1983)
#10- "The Hogan Family" (1986-1991?)

Outside the Board I Dunno. Around here "Diff'rent Strokes" and "Three's Company" are the most popular.

It was such a bad move for N@N to drop FOL. They will surely regret it when they notice their ratings drop dramatically.

ME! ME! ME! ME! ME! I watched it a bit when Famly Ties started out of respect for MJF but then I stopped again. Now that I know what rats N@N are, I just can't watch anything on the network for long.

No, I don't think it's the most popular sitcom of the 80's (although I personally think it ought to be). People just like to discuss it more than any other sitcom (I have no idea why- it must have something to do with all the trivia behind the characters and writing of the show, not to mention that the show has experienced numerious changes during it's 9 year course).

ME. I really don't care for "The Facts Of Life". The one thing that I didn't like about it is that Blair seems like a duplicat of Marcia Brady. And of course the character of Blair wasn't as good as the character of Marcia. Marcia was the original one and Blair was the old copy cardboard one.

Exactly how is Blair like Marcia? I'm sorry, but I don't see any resemblance in their personalities! Blair is rich and conceited (although with a good heart). Marcia is a wholesome, humble person who comes from a middle-class family.

I was wondering that too?How are Blair and Marcia the same?

[Male-Facts-Of-Life-Fan]

Are you kidding me. Your saying blair is like Marcia. There the exact opposite. I guess every blond ever is like Marcia huh. Ive never heard such a crazy thing. Lisa Whelchel is 10 times more talented than Marcia or Mauren could ever be.

I have concluded that the reason the networks are reluctant to show Facts of Life is because it is TOO popular. And too entertaining as well. If people get too involved in a show while watching it, then they are less likely to pay attention to the commercials when they come on.

In a nutshell: the advertisers can't compete with FOL, so they don't sponsor it.

Amen to that!!!

[Blair-Lisa#1Fan]

ok, i have 2 things to say. One is that Marcia and Blair have TOTALLY DIFFERENT personalities and Lisa is soooooo much better than whoever the Marcia girl is! Two is that I've stopped watching most N@N shows except Family Ties because that is my other favorite show. If Family Ties wasn't on N@N, I would stop watching N@N altogether.

[TVLAND-FAN]

i'm a male kind of guy, i guess, and it was my favorite show too for awhile. i still think the first 2 seasons are just toooooooooo great ! http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif They really should'nt of replaced it with 2 episodes of cheers and family ties. Two episodes each night ! ? Yuck.

[angel676]

I have stopped watching N@N all together.
It is definitely my least favorite channel.

[Male-Facts-Of-Life-Fan]

There is a chance nick got mad at us, the Fol fans. Maybe we sent to much mail in. I cannot think why the would not give us 1 ep a night. I mean even if its at 4 in the morning. Most of the time Fol was on it was 3rd or 4th highest show for them. They need to wake up. Kim Fields use to make my day!!!

[Taylor18]

Hello, I am new, and all I have to say is Facts is the best show ever! And... the Nick at Nite people must have been on crack when they decided to boot Facts off the air. I mean cheers....family ties....those suck compared to facts! We gotta so something about this......

[shelby1kenobi]

hey, i'm new to this board as well, but The Facts of Life is has been my favorite sitcom forever, i still have all my tapes i recorded when it was on USA and i make my friends watch them with me all the time, they love it now too!

[JoJoJoJoJoJoJoJoJo]

I still watch N@N because they show Cheers and Family Ties, i love Cheers! But I think TVLand will probably start showing FOL a lot more now, not on a regular schedule but at "special times". Like this Christmas there showing 4 Christmas Eps. of FOL, so i'm looking forward to that....
