Brian, I don't mean any harm to you, but the reason I brought up the relationship with you and Fox, is because some people over at Home Theater Forum were detecting a pattern about the way Fox deals with indies, and were indicating that all sings were pointing to a dispute. There was also one person there who brought up the possibility about there being something going on behind closed doors that none of the parties want to disclose to the consumers.

And the same thing also happened with VCI and the TV show they were releasing, Burke's Law. I take it you're not too familiar with that situation.

Again, I don't mean any harm to you, I was just bringing up what some people on Home Theater Forum were speculating. If there was any misunderstanding on my part, and the part of those HTF folks, I apologize.

Oh My Lord!

Season 6 might not be a music issue as we thought it was! Remember we all thought it was about the episode "Cruisin" with all of the songs in that one (WHICH WERE ALL COVER VERSIONS, BY THE WAY)? Well, what if it's involving the episode "The Last Drive In"! You have clips from the movie "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane" (OWNED BY WARNER BROS) and a clip from Woody Woodpecker (OWNED BY UNIVERSAL)! Two different studios own the clips you see on that episode, which the show is owned by SONY!

NOW WE SEE WHAT THE HOLD UP IS! Just my thought for the day!

Interesting point, dstram.  I can only come up with three long running shows where the first season was equally as good as the remaining seasons:  Big Bang Theory, The Nanny and Third Rock From The Sun.

While I don't have any interest in Facts Of Life on DVD, I do remember the first season was kind of a mess.  And I hope they continue it through the end for the people that bought the earlier seasons.

Brian,

What is the latest if any news on Seasons 6-9 of FOL?  There hasn't been any response from you since the end of October.  I know you are very busy and the FOL isn't your only project to keep up with, but would it be possible for you to keep us up to date possibly monthly, even if there is no news, just to keep the fans updated.  Or if all attempts to get the show are now over, please let us know this as well.  Thanks!

Hello Mr. Ward,

Yes please if you could provide us with an update on FoL that would be fantastic.  Season 6 is my absolute favorite of the series and I check daily for an update.  I know you are a very buy man as jimforJESUS pointed out, but any kind of hope would be awesome, or as he mentioned if all attempts have come to an end that would be good to know as well.  Sad, but good to know.

I appreciate the way you have always kept us posted, so hoping you can shed some light on the remaining seasons here.

Thank you much, as always!!

Peace, Cole

Guys, please don't panic! Don't pick up any pitchforks on start any lynch mobs just yet!

Stranger things have happened in regards to classic TV DVD releases. Remember Mary Tyler Moore? Just when we thought all hope for future releases was lost, here came season 5 and the rest of the series in a few months succession.

Maybe that's what's going on with "The Facts of Life". Who knows, in 2012, we might see more of Mrs. Garrett and the girls, and I'm not giving up hope. Someone was right when they said that Shout! is the best game in town and we just have to be patient. They might even be on the discussion table even as we speak. So don't be surprised if you see Season 6 announced sometime in the near future.

Just a little bit of hope for the new year.
