What a great show! I just saw the episode yesterday, where Blair reads Natalie's diary and I couldn't stop laughing. If I had to pick ONE favorite character from the show, it'd either be Jo or Mrs. Garrett. :D
Andy starting appearing on the show during this season. I dont know exactly how he started appearing or why. I just remember him coming into the store and I think he had a job at Edna's Edibles. Someone correct me if Im wrong. As for George I remember him appearing on Season 7 he was hired as the carpenter to rebuild Edna's Edibles into Over Our Heads after EE burnt down. He just stuck around after that.
I saw the episode last night where Edna's Edibles burned down. Haven't seen that one in years. Brought back a lot of memories. Not to sound dumb or anything, I think that episode was part of the reason I was afraid of this show as a kid. Nonetheless, it's a good episode.
I have a question about Facts of Life. Is it a sitcom? If so does it have laugh tracks? Because I really hate laugh tracks. (which is why I hate Friends, I never get the chance of getting the jokes on my own, and that ruins them in my opinion)
It is a sitcom, yes. And I do not know for sure, but the truth is, pretty much every sitcom used a laugh track until Malcolm in the Middle came around.
I never realized the weight issues back then. Its always a learning experience reading comments on here. Love the theme music of my childhood shows. Who had a better one, this show or Different Strokes??
they werent fat at all...the gained some weight for a short time...and not all at the same! i dont think some people even watched the show...the people who say there fat!!!
i wrote this comment almost a year ago and reading now i am shocked by the way it sounded...all i wanted to say is that they won a little of weight till the season 5, then, the producers ask them to loose...i'm so sorry if i offend somebody...I LOVE THE FACTS OF LIFE, it's my favorite show for years and i think these girls are the most beautifull girls in the history of television...doesn't matter if they were a little chubby or not...i'm sorry, i really don't know why i wrote this
i want to say i'm sorry for this comment...i think my words didn't express what i really wanted to say...i was trying to say that they won a little of weight till this season, then, of course, the producers tell them to loose....i love this show, i'm sorry if i offend somebody
For some reason, this opening sticks out in my mind... I seem to remember it better than others. What year(s) was it used? Also, HALLELUJAH!!! No Andy or Pippa!!! It was REAL Facts here.
robin thicke was on a talk show last week and said that his mother is the one singing the intro. i think he alos said that his father, allen thicke, wrote the intro. he did for a coupole of other shows as well.
Yep, that's his mother Gloria Loring who also played Liz Chandler Curtis on 'Days of our Lives' from 1980-1986 and had a #2 Billboard hit pop song, a duet with Carl Anderson titled "Friends and Lovers" which was Shane & Kim's love theme from Days.
What channel does it come on? (I'm in Florida, so the channel number will be different , but does it come on one of the networks, like CBS or is it an independent station that is only in your area?) Please respond ASAP!! Thanks!
kim fields does look alot like janet jackson but i hate to say she found all the weight that blair lost hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahaah
This was one of the best seasons ever. I loved that they finally let Jo undo her ponytail. This was also the season where Lisa Whelchel finally lost the weight the producers were always pressuring her about.
Did you guys see the TV Land awards? Blair looks incredible!

Lisa Whelchel actually looked the worst with the weight. Mindy was Mindy, Jo never really gained any true weight, and Kim had those chipmunk cheeks.
Lisa was naturally very attractive, but that extra weight did her no favors.
