Review of The Facts of Life

This is truly one of the best shows ever on TV. It's one of the few shows where women are depicted as human beings rather than sex-crazed Barbie dolls. They used to show reruns of this, but now all they show are reruns of "Friends", "Seinfeld", "Frasier", "Home Improvement", "Roseanne", "Will & Grace", "Sex & the City" and "Two and a Half Men"!! Even on Lifetime, they have "The Nanny" and "Golden Girls", two very good programs, then instead of filling the 10:00-10:30 timeslot with "FOL", they decide to air back-to-back episodes of that stupid "Frasier" crap! Now, this would have been a great station for "FOL" to air, but NOOOOO...instead, they choose to air some stupid program that revolves around an arrogant womanizing jerk and his equally arrogant and annoying little brother! And they're even rerunning "Desperate Housewives" and "Grey's Anatomy". Maybe these stupid stations are blind to the fact that there are people out there who want to see reruns of good classic TV shows like "Facts of Life", instead of all the smut that's polluting the airwaves for the past two decades! At least "FOL" dealt with sex in a tasteful, yet serious, manner, forcing us to see what the consequences are. Now, you can't turn on a single TV show without it being all about sex, sex, sex!! They treat sex like it's a friggin recreational sport! Then there's the DVD situation! Why is it they dedicate all the time and effort to put out box sets of "Frasier", "Friends", "Seinfeld" and all the other crap that's already being reran ad-nauseum, and yet "FOL" only goes up to season 3, while "Diff'rent Strokes" only has two seasons out so far??? I guess sex and smut really do sell to the masses! Anyway, "Facts of Life" is a show that women can watch together, and mothers can even watch with their daughters, to let them see that women are good for so many things, besides being walking Barbie dolls who only think about sex.
