4:53 Wonder whether it was a coincidence or not that Jo and Cindy (the tomboyish characters of the series) were talking with one another when Tootie walked in. Probably just a coincidence.
i can relate to jo because of her tomboy-ish ways i was raised with 4 brothers so im kinda tomboyish but as far as her attitude goes im like the opposite.
@RightfullyReticent well I didnt just like tootie because she is black i was just saying its nice too see a charactor that i can relate to and most of them I dont. I just happen to relate more to black charators more because im black but I was also happy to see jo too because i can relate to her too and you dont see alot of Jo's often either.

There are other black girls it's just that none of them are leads but besides tootie has a big mouth and needs it punched shut ....to be so hungry for attention to ruin people's lives is disgusting
You are right. Back then we used to cheer when we saw a black character on a television show. I've often wondered why this show had so many new cast members over the years but none were black.
What characters are you referring to? The core of the show was the four girls, one of whom happened to be black. And consider the "fact of life" that girls who were sent to boarding schools were predominantly likely to be white; Tootie was the exception, not the rule.
Your view is tainted by current P.C. garbage. The show is about a group of young girls who are friends; Tootie happens to be the only black friend in her group -- her presence is not to be taken as representative of the entire student body.
@jonwiley That's not true.For the main characters of The Fact's of Life Tootie is the youngest.What 16 years old wants to play with a 12 year old?Tootie and Natalie were best friends because Tootie and Natalie were close in age.Tootie was 12 and Natalie was 13.Yet Natalie seemed more mature than Tootie.
@disneyfan1girl11 Was Kim playing older? Because in season one she was like 9-10 and this is season two right? So that would maker her like 10-11 unless Kim was playing a year or two older.
shoot at least there was a black charactor in this show unlike other shows like full house, friends, the nanny, cheers,sienfield, fraizer, the mary tyler moore show, dude i could go on but you get the picture.
Even today still not many black or really many ethinic people on tv which is one of the main reasons why i stopped watching tv because i felt likemost of the stuff didnt relate to me and i would sometime like to see someone who kinda look like me on tv or someone that i can relate to more. But im just say why cant there be a good show with a lead black/ethnic charactor for a change and let the white person be cast as the "best friend" role.

Well, Jo barks but she generally doesn't bite.

Early FOL episodes all tend to end with a character being punished or a character getting all softhearted with another character.
