International Airings
In Brazil, the show aired on Nick at Nite as Vivendo e Aprendendo (Living and Learning, in English).
In Italy, seasons one through five were aired in 1983–1986 (dubbed as usual in Italian), on the terrestrial TV Canale 5, the first Italian commercial network, and later on other local commercial TV networks. The Italian version was named L'albero delle mele, which means apple tree (the word 'apple' is popularly used euphemistically in Italian as a reference to teenage girls).
In France, seasons two and three (dubbed in French and titled Drôle de Vie) aired in 1987 on the terrestrial TV La Cinq, and seasons one, eight and nine aired on TF1.

A few seasons aired on the UK BSB satellite channels and after BSB merged with Sky Television plc, the entire series was shown on Sky One.
In Canada, The Facts of Life aired on CTS, a Christian-based network, from September 2006 to 2009.
