In the very first episode of The Facts of Life, Mrs. Garrett (Charlotte Rae) is there to comfort Cindy (Julie Anne Haddock), while the Drummonds (Conrad Bain, Gary Coleman, Todd Bridges and Dana Plato) are there for a visit.
From Season 1, Episode 1 'Rough Housing': Cindy decides not to attend the Harvest Ball when Blair intimates that because of her tomboyishness she might be a lesbian.

About The Facts of Life: At the Eastland School in Peekskill, New York, Edna Garrett (Charlotte Rae) oversees the day-to-day lives of students who come from all walks of life. Under the care of this slightly nutty but always caring housemother is the beautiful, rich and spoiled Blair Warner (Lisa Whelchel); the witty, plump and impressionable Natalie Green (Mindy Cohn); Dorothy “Tootie” Ramsey (Kim Fields), the young and persistent campus gossip; and Joanna “Jo” Polniaczek (Nancy McKeon), a Bronx-born and bred streetwise kid whose tough exterior masks the brains and compassion she's hiding underneath. Whether it's the challenges posed by Eastland's academic and social scenes, the rise, fall and rebirth of the businesses they start and run together, or the comings and goings of new faces in school and town, including Edna's replacement (and sister) Beverly Ann Stickle (Cloris Leachman), the girls are always ready for a new challenge, and perceptive enough to learn from each new situation.

One thing that really helped the show was that the characters matured and had some personality or depth beyond the one note characters in the beginning, like dealing with Blair’s vanity and selfishness. Diff’rent Strokes never really moved beyond the punchlines and catchphrases for humor.

@garycollins7750 2 жыл бұрын

@kirkrules66 when I was younger I liked the show but not so much now. I think the success was because in the early 80s sitcoms were showing their age and ending their runs and the ones replacing them weren’t that great. It’s not often the spin-off out performs the parents series with 9 seasons multiple back door pilots and to international TV movies. The end of Diff’rent Strokes began firing of Dana Plato and with the success of the Cosby Show which brought a bit of sophistication back to the sitcom. Toward the end the show wasn’t really about anything,it didn’t take on the the social issues or teach the life lessons of the early seasons, NBC canceled it in 85 only for ABC to pick up the show and cancel it halfway through season 8.

Right. Her real name was Dorothy, and I fail to see how the nickname Tootie derives from that. Did she play with a horn when she was younger? Did she like electric trains? Did people think her voice sounded like it was tooting?

@@nassauguy48 Dorothy sounds like an old fashion name. Though later, Kim preferred her character being called Dorothy over Tootie in the 2001 reunion movie because Tootie sounded like a kids name.

It's funny how they thought 32 was old. I'm 34 and they're making me feel old.

@Diostillrocks 2 жыл бұрын

At their age, you think 32 is old. You are dealing with 16 to 10 year olds here.

Do not feel bad. In a Brady Bunch episode, Marcia was complaining about having to wear braces. Her mother reminded her that, once they were taken off, she would be prettier than ever. Marcia replied how, by that time, she would be an old maid. Twenty!

I think I just saw Mrs. Garrett tell her first ever lie! She said "Oh I'll be back. I promise!" Though to be fair, had she returned, we would have never had such classic memories from this wonderful show. So I forgive her. Lol

@Diostillrocks Жыл бұрын

She didn't lie. She just didn't say when.

@Lucailey Жыл бұрын

I mean, that was her "out" in case the show didn't work. If Facts hadn't exploded in popularity, that line gave her an excuse to go back to the Drummand family.
