The Facts of Life - Teacher's Pet (3 of 3)

[steadybeau]

Catch me on the wrong day and I wouldn't be able to do the last scene (with Jo and Gail) without bawling my head off. They'd have about 22 takes to get it right. lol

[framptonorchablis]

I wonder if Gail has AIDS.

[candlelight482]

tootie needs to learn to but out of peoples problems, if jo broke curfew thats jo's problem not tootie's

[Smartboy8877]

@candlelight482

I think that Tootie's heart was clearly in the right place. She was simply concerned about Jo because of how good a friend she was. No big deal.

[maleficentdiva]

What would you rather watch GLEE or Facts Of Life? I know what my choice is!

Tv needs to go back to this type of sitcom, a sitcom where you learn important life lessons, and also a sitcom that is funny at the same time. I think it is a shame the kind of garbage that passes for entertainment these days, its just pathetic! Facts Of Life is a great show, the acting is superb, the scripts are amazing, and also its very funny too. You couldn't ask for a better show, its timeless!

@maleficentdiva the facsts of life

[Smartboy8877]

@maleficentdiva

While we are on the topic of shows that we would like to see more of on DVD, I would love it if the last two seasons of "Mad About You" were released! Helen Hunt forever!

[TenebreFan]

Sony needs to get off their lazy butts and release the rest of this wonderful series,and Maude,227 neeeds to finish the rest of their seasons too!! u listening Sony??

[cebucemagenaitap]

what was gail dying from ?

[candlelight482]

@cebucemagenaitap they never said, my guess is some form of cancer

[cebucemagenaitap]

@candlelight482 Yeah my guess was either ovarian cancer or pancreatic cancer.

[lecrucifix]

Love this epi

[SharonTateFan4ever]

"Gail has YOU!"

That line from Mrs. G always gets me. Sniff.

[monatoor85]

very sweet show

[vkoo32]

Fuck The Bachelorette !

[flysista34]

I think it's hilarious that the teacher at the end pronounced Jo's last name right.

[TheItalianGecko]

ugh, tootie grates on me, big time. She always has. She's way too dramatic.

[amcfan84]

26? wow she looked older than that

[vkoo32]

@amcfan84 The actress was 32 in real life then.

[TamirasEx]

Jo conveys so much with just one look. What an actor. Thanks for the upload.

[youtubaholic]

inflation! LOL i love natalie...

[redmr2na]

Why oh Why can't they make shows like this again! I could watch 70-80-and really early 90's television all day everyday instead of the mindless B.S. they broadcast these days.

[PapagenoJuan]

JO was always my favorite character!!! I thought she was always hotter and had more attitude than Blair ;)) ha ha

[mehg00n]

Damn, every time when theres a sad moment w/ Jo, I burst into tears.

[tanumia76]

i can't stand Tootie... she's so nosey!!!

[GiveMeRitasPlz]

@tanumia:

I normally can't stand Tootie either, but I think this episode was a big step-up for her character. She's growing up : ) (Finally!)

[lilmissjester]

Mrs G always knows what to say at the right time. Gotta love her!

[steadybeau]

I remember how it felt when a good friend of mine told me she was dying. She had cancer. It was so HARD hearing that.  She told me in a supermarket and I burst into tears. It was awful.

[RedbeardNC]

That is the worst thing about being terminally ill (from my perspective)....facing death is nowhere near as hard as telling loved ones, because their reaction says everything.

[DisCastMember07]

I Always Cry when I watch the End Of This Episode I know what it's Like to Lose a good Friend. I think Nancy Mckeon Is a Very Good Actress

[julioagua]

Hey mppy126, thanks as always for posting FOL, here in Argentina Nick at Nite stopped airing it :-( And my favourite part is Natalie saying: "Please don't insult me" XD And I think is very sweet to think Jo has a crush on her teacher, and that doesn't mean I'm saying that every girl or boy that had a close relationship with a teacher had a crush on him/her....

[XcentrickSalo]

Nancy McKeon is such a good comedy and drama actress. And is it wrong of me to say she's incredibly attractive? She looks amazing even now!

[ryan197888]

@XcentrickSalo No... she is hot!!!

[msshelley74]

@XcentrickSalo its not wrong to give a compliment she is attractive

[ssudioTVgirl]

I know it's only a show, but Gail looked and seemed so healthy in this episode. What kind of disease could she have had? Especially to be taken at such a young age.

[3000gtkid]

Damn Nancy McKeon a great actor, i said this alot but very,very underated.

[reubenthetadpole]

As someone whose parent died of cancer, a patient can often be healthy and vital up until the last few days.

[rhaina1977]

Apparently for some posters the facts of life was all about lesbians!

[opaulo30]

would give that a plus but not gonna

[rettrovision]

Gail was 26??

She looked a lot older -- about 36

[cybertail]

someimes an illness can do that to a person =*(

[VeggieChick77]

Why does this episode seem like a more depressing version of Loving Annabelle?

[preciousjey]

she was on bachelor party

[retroxkid89]

wow at the eastland sendoff lol

[piratelordlilah]

oh grow up with the jo was in love with gail. i had a close teacher like that when i was young. it's diff than now. teachers can't have friendships like that with kids anymore.

[jonthom11702]

It's true. I was thinking the same thing when Jo called the teacher by her first name. No teacher could have that kind of friendship with a student these days. I also didn't think Jo was in love with Gail. She just felt close to her.

[bostonscholar]

College i went to (200) we called teachers by first name

[poutaine]

Jo was totally in love with Gail.

[celluloidfan2008]

this is such a great show. much better than all the crap on TV now, like "gossip girl" and "the hills". and to think "seinfeld" and "friends", two crappy sitcoms all about sex, have full dvd sets while on TV constantly in reruns! this show dealt with real issues and was funny and touching at the same time. shows like "seinfeld" are so stupid!

[bethm95]

I agree!

[snoops71]

@celluloidfan2008 Very well said!

[celticangel73]

Nancy Mckeon is a great actress.

[AlysonStonerRox4Ever]

I know, I love her.

[kattsgomeow]

tootie really makes me mad sometimes =(

but thanks soooo much for putting up this episode!!!!!!

[celinishlove]

jo really makes me mad sometimes, she always has good intentions, but her attitude gets in the way
