To me, this show and song perfectly symbolize the end of the 70s and the beginning of the 80s. Here you have the Season 1 (1979) theme, which is a bit goofier with Mrs. Garret singing, and just generally screams "1970s TV show". Then, a year later, the same song came back with new lyrics and a new attitude, and a new era was born.
I generally prefer the 80s version, but I like this one because of the cool ending.
I really liked the first season. I don't know why they had to change things after the first season. Too bad they got rid of the four girls and it was too bad that Tootie took off her skates!
wow, there was a long range of women then. some who looked good as well. too bad it was only 4 after that. in my opinion, throught all the seasons, it was like 4 different shows, not one
Actually, it was whiddled down to three. Jo came in the season premiere of the second season. Even then, Molly and another of the girls who were cut appeared in that same episode.

I like the Facts of Life with more than 4 girls, like it was in the 1st season.

It's interesting how they decided to get rid of the pretty skinny ones and introduce a tomboy instead. Makes me gain respect for the show!

Probably my favorite FOL opening, partially 'cause Mrs. Garret sings.

@ejr1978 No, it was just Molly. The other girls appeared in a few episodes in seasons 2 and 3.

@MrKeithAlan There is one episode in season 9 where all of the original girls returned except for Molly

Yeah, that was way too many girls for a viewing audience to keep track of. i'm glad they whiddled it down to the remaining four.
