Rough Housing

[VASINGER]

I dont think Cindy is a lebsian. She is too young to be really fit in that category. Shes a tom boy and most girls can be pretty tom boyish up til about her age. But there are masculine women who are straight and feminine men who are not gay. Jo always seemed to have more lesbian tendencies. She was tom boyish in college even.

[vkoo32]

Jo and Cindy could be an item if it were in 1990>

[setpunk12]

i had a total crush on julie anne haddock when i a little kid

[P1683]

I used to watch this show all the time when I was in high school

[jwaterburysnout]

I jerked off to the lesbian undertones at the start. Then I jerked off to Mrs. Blair petting Cindy. Then I jerked off twice to Blair's tits. This show could have only been better if that Nancy chick had more lesbian scenes with Blair and Molly Ringwald.

[Dared2DoIT]

Rumor has it...this episode was supposed to be "lesbian-friendly" but they apparently edited the stuff out.

[theairica]

Cindy is totally a dude. :P

[twilliger123]

Funny how Lisa Whelchel wouldn't be in the episode where Natalie loses her virginity but she's more than willing to call a girl a lesbian. How Christian of her....HYPO-Christian is more like it!

[store275]

Blaire was such a homophobe.

[LadyBeth24]

I cant find the full episodes anywhere...Come on and PLEASE upload the full episode....never did like Clair though lol

[starrbeatlesqueen]

This show is rarely on TV anymore. What am I saying? It's never on TV anymore, not even on TVLand. I remember watching this show when it came on reruns in the late 90's and it was mostly of the later seasons, hardly any of the ones with the original cast.

Maybe someday this show will be on reruns again like on Hallmark or something.

[starrbeatlesqueen]

Blair is the one who's weird. She's so dumb.

[flowersings]

Can you post the full episode?

[MinisodeNetwork]

@flowersings I just added your comment to our requested shows list. Thanks for the suggestion!

[TheElectricDreamer93]

WHAT CHU TALKING ABOUT WILLIS!?

[gosunnyfun]

That's the same prairie dress that Jo wore in the usual tomboy into woman transformation in Double Standard, except Jo's was blue.

[MinisodeNetwork]

@gosunnyfun They are very similar, although Jo's was longer. For those interested in comparison, you can check out the Double Standard Minisode on Crackledotcom.

[TRAVISJAMES03]

So....Blair is calling Cindy a lesbian? There is a part in this ep. in which Blair says "We are not here to be your flesh parade, Cindy" (or something like that, but Blair definitely said 'flesh parade' - creepy).

[keleic]

i kinda wish cindy and jo became friends. they're both tomboyish and they both hold a grudge against blair. well cindy's grudge really only lasted until the end of this episode but still

[msu2k9]

Great way to start off a TV series designed to teach kids of the '70s and '80s valuable life lessons, because it starts with the most basic ones of all: A.) Be yourself (as Cindy did, despite everything) and as Blair learned, B.) Never, EVER, judge a book by it's cover (more like a person by their outside appearance, but you get my drift, right, folks?)

[mickey160455]

oHH Blair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[edog192]

john lawlor was on the regina housekeeper commercial

[SMKNOMproductions]

so random!

[sk8terchicmic]

i am addicted to this show 4 ever!!

[woody5551]

Does the Harvest Queen get plowed?

[allnewtpir]

Yeah, by a Bronx-born "grease monkey" named Polniaczek.

[WHATTHEBUCKSHOW]

Cindy is a lesbian!

[Fabulishious8]

..That's interesting

[avatarcutay]

[PeaceLoveParis]

LMFAOOO buckk <3

[PEnGUiNL0vA68]

lol nice buck!

[MrLogoman007]

@WHATTHEBUCKSHOW How can you tell?

[airplanefreak27]

This was very nice, thanks for posting!

[MinisodeNetwork]

We love to post! Just wanted to let everyone know that if you guys are enjoying Facts of Life, you should check Minisode Maniac with What the Buck on Minisodes main page, where Buck talks about this episode. Thanks!

[palmercomm]

So, is Cindy a lesbian?

[quaquaquaa]

Hahaha Mrs. Garrett was so drunk!

Happy memories.

[lilbits]

Great show. Always a lesson to learn. Good cast.

[akm2856]

That's not strange! My girlfriends hug (and even kiss) each other and say "I love you", but they're all straight, it doesn't mean anything. Besides, why does it matter if she is lesbian?

Anyway, happy you're uploading these, MinisodeNetwork! You rock!

[MinisodeNetwork]

Rock on man!!!

[TherealRNO]

"Besides, why does it matter if she is lesbian?"

Nothing, except for the time period the show was set in. Sure, they existed, but most homosexuals remained hidden from the world until recent years when they've started to come out and be proud of who they are. Plus, even if Cindy did swing that way, it wasn't a gaurantee that any of the other boarding school girls did. I guess the tomboy nature plus the possible lesbian undertone could be part of why Cindy never made it past the early seasons.

[Heligoland43]

@TherealRNO uh-- what about jo? exact same character, as far as I'm concerned. i'm pretty sure they just replaced cindy with jo, not out of some sort of homophobia.

[buckinghamalice]

Mrs. Garrett was so great at teaching lessons. Ahh, to be in boarding school!

[MinisodeNetwork]

Mrs. Garrett makes boarding school look fun!

[Hobgoblyn]

Damn, that stupid blond was ripping on lesbians even before she was an ultra-conservative Christian b****.

[Boobalopbop]

Blaire the homophobe, lol

[Y2p731]

Yeah, Lisa Whelchel's political views today is much harsher than her TV character. She is now an ultra-conservative right wing human being.

[YouSuckPeriod]

Yawn. I don't know who you're talking about. I'm assuming you're talking about politics... meaning not one gives a shit on what you think about anything right now.

[monkfan72]

@Y2p731 I'm curios as to what these 'harsh' political views might be. She's conservative. Christian. She's written books about raising children. That's not necessarily 'harsh'.

[VASINGER]

@Y2p731 Whats wrong with that?

[TaraThelen]

i love how the message is "be yourself" and "don't judge", but in the end you're still suppose to put on a dress and aspire to be another blair.

[Goobian]

I love Mrs. Garrett! I wanna like, bake cookies and watch soap operas with her :) I can't believe Blair is such a homophobe! Lighten up Blair some girls like to say I love you to other girls that is just how life works.

And just because she isn't wearing a dress it doesn't mean she isn't a girl. But that's enough I don't think the Minisode Network wants me to rant any more :)

[Dancing4Forever]

That's the kind of woman I'm going to be when I become a mama and married :).

[Goobian]

Are you refering to me? Then thank you. If every girl was like Blair this would be a very boring place and all the guys would be walking around sexually frustrated lol!

[Dancing4Forever]

I was talking about Mrs. Garrett lolol, I wanna be like her when I become a mother :). But you're right though on the last part lol.

[Goobian]

I want to be like Mrs Garrett too! She has such a comforting voice.

[slLLyhumans]

Minisodes make the world go round .

[MadamTampini]

Yay! Facts of Life!

[rkeppler3633]

Uh, I have no problem with girls being touchy feely with one another.

[WHATTHEBUCKSHOW]

this episode was actually very controversial with the lesbian overtones!! Love it! Cant wait till next week! Minisode Maniac Buck!

[ItaliaBella4666]

i was thinking oh boy lesbian? haha

[looneytoon76]

I think this episode is from the first season of the series

[MinisodeNetwork]

It's the first episode of the series. See what you're learning! You like that...

[melancholyguy]

She's a butch lesbian...what's wrong with that?

[emmaphee]

LOL

[MinisodeNetwork]

I wonder what greg looked like

[jimcarreyonline]

Jo in disguise lol

[mkgtweety]

nice 1!!!!!!!!

love and lippy,

mkgtweety

[dankitti]

All that touching and hugging girls! I do NOT think that is strange. Completely UNstrange!!! Also, I like how wise Mrs. Garrett is. And the Diff'rent Strokes cast FTW!!! awesomeness.

[regamom3]

What a sweet show!!! This is why I started watching your channel. Michael Buckley found you and shared:) Thanks for posting so many great shows. We need a new Bewitched soon.

[ronaldsmusicfactory]
