The Facts of Life Reunion 8/9

A widowed Mrs. Garrett is heading back to America on a cruise ship, ready for a new life and also looking forward to seeing her "girls" again, all of whom have grown into successful, independent women: Blair owns Warner Enterprises, which includes a stable of hotels, and is married to Tad Warner, without children. Natalie now serves as a behind-the-scenes producer at CNN juggling an active love life with a frenetic work schedule that takes her all over the world. Tootie, now preferring to be called by her real name, Dorothy, is a Hollywood-based talk show host and the mother of a 10-year-old girl, Tisha. Jo, now a police officer, is still married to Rick Bonner and they have a daughter, Jamie.

Natalie has talked all the girls and Mrs. Garrett into spending the Thanksgiving holiday together back in Peekskill, NY. When Jo is unable to attend the reunion because of work, her teenage daughter, Jamie, comes instead in her absence. Trouble soon starts when Natalie receives two different marriage proposals, so it's up to the girls to help solve Natalie's predicament. Over the course of the holiday, the girls reveal to one another the personal troubles they face in their adult years and discover that, despite the time that has passed, they need each other's friendship more than ever.

I think they should do a "Facts of Life Chapter Two" Series... with Tootie's daughter, and Jo's... (even if Jo wouldn't do guest spots) and the adopted daughters Blair could become mother to.

Jo never disagreed to do the reunion, she was on a highly demanding show at the time called The Division. Mrs. Garrett has gotten much older now and most likely would not be able to perform as well as she did on this one. Thank you soo much for posting

@justmeeh2004 Did Dorothy meant the facts of life show?

*headache* I don't even know why Natalie is the one juggling guys when she was engaged to Snake, and Blair was the only unhooked up friend at the end of Facts of Life. Blair shouldn't be married and Desperate Housewifey. She was going to be a lawyer, remember the pilot to the sequel show?

This wasn't the reunion I was expecting. It's just not the sane without Joe. Is mrs Garret still alive?

[poosaypirate]

@rfm2ckt YES; EVERY TEN YEARS

[BtonMan75]

The "little" girls get arrested for breaking into Eastland, and now Dorothy and her daughter break into the theater. WTH? :)

@justmeeh2004 Love it! Thanks to Youtube I can enjoy all the (most of) Mrs G years- I was born in '81- enjoyed late Beverly Ann years...

@bigbubba29 Beverly Ann didn't adopt Pippa, she was an exchange student who lived in the house. They should do another reunion, definitely with Jo! She participated in the recent TV-Land reunion and promoted the DVD's, so maybe she will agree to be included this time.
