The Facts of Life Coming to TV Land in September; Starz Shoots and Scores for Two...Comedies
"Tootie!" Yep, Mrs. Garrett and the girls from Eastland are going to spend Labor Day with you all. The Facts of Life is coming to TV Land and will launch with a Labor Day marathon on Monday, Sept. 7 from 9am-8pm! But wait, there's more! The Facts of Life will also air regularly on TV Land every weekday from 6-8pm following Gilligan's Island at 5. No other schedule changes will be made, except Gilligan's evening slot moves to 5-6pm instead of 6-8pm, cutting Bonanza by an airing. The Facts of Life has been airing on Viacom for some months now on sister network Logo, where it has done pretty well...and it will continue to also air on Logo as well. So it's double the fun for The Facts of Life! The series aired from 1979-1988 on NBC and starred Charlotte Rae, Lisa Whelchel, Kim Fields, Mindy Cohn and Nancy McKeon. Stay with us for continued updates!
Starz is currently offering multi-platform, nationwide sampling of its upcoming comedy block featuring the first two episodes of its new Original series Blunt Talk and the entire six-episode first season of Survivor's Remorse. In addition, Survivor's Remorse Executive Producer LeBron James and Blunt Talk series star Patrick Stewart are also sampling their respective series premieres on Facebook for a limited time prior to the linear season premieres on Saturday, August 22 at 9 PM ET/PT on STARZ. James began hosting free access to the premiere episode from Season 2 of Survivor's Remorse directly on his Facebook page exclusively for his 22 million followers on Friday, August 14. Stewart posted the premiere episode of Blunt Talk for his legions of Facebook followers on Saturday, August 15. On-demand and online sampling opportunities of the two Blunt Talk episodes and first season of Survivor's Remorse were made available beginning August 15 and will continue through August 25 via select U.S. cable, satellite and Telco affiliates, Starz.com, STARZ ON DEMAND and the free STARZ PLAY app for all users in the United States. Survivor's Remorse season one is also available on iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, Vudu, Sony Entertainment Network and Xbox Video.
The sampling begins one week in advance of the comedy block premiere of the 10-episode, first season of Blunt Talk from MRC and executive produced by Seth MacFarlane, Jonathan Ames (creator and showrunner), Stephanie Davis and Tristram Shapeero; and the sophomore season of Survivor's Remorse from showrunner/executive producer Mike O'Malley and executive producers Tom Werner, Maverick Carter, LeBron James, Paul Wachter, Victor Levin and Hilton Smith. In addition to the online and on-demand sampling, a first season marathon of Survivor's Remorse, which The Washington Post called "screamingly funny," will air on STARZ on August 18-20 at 11 PM PT/ET. A sneak-peek of episode 201 from Survivor's Remorse Season 2 will be available on STARZ PLAY and STARZ ON DEMAND immediately following the season finale of the STARZ Original series Power on August 15 exclusively for STARZ subscribers.
