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.

From one classic show, to another. There will never be another show, like both Diff'rent Strokes, and The Facts of Life (both with great and catchy theme songs). Rest in Peace, Conrad Bain, Gary Coleman, Dana Plato, and Charlotte Rae.

See that's the Fact Of Life I love. A show about a SCHOOL makes more sense w/ more people in it. When they cut it down to 4 main characters, it just didn't feel like a show about a school. To me the first season will always be the best.

@RazorFriendly 7 ай бұрын

The cuts were necessary and made sense. Kim Fields (Tootie) explained in an interview that because the cast was so big, there was no focus on any one character. It was distracting and confusing for viewers, and Fields pointed out that the addition of Jo saved the show because she stood in such stark contrast to the other upper-crust types that comprised the student body. I like the first season, and wonder how it would have been if they had at least kept Nancy or Sue Anne, or Julie Anne Haddock who played Cindy with a sincerity rarely seen on television. That said, the show almost got axed by the network, and it would be just another forgotten failed spinoff in the dustbin of TV history had it not changed.

@dpowers8755 6 ай бұрын

Probably a little too big for character development. Could have possibly kept Molly (the feminist) but anything more was too much. Cindy could have been kept but Jo filled the “tomboy” role and also added the tough outcast vibe

I just found it odd that the cafeteria, which was unbelievably small, was also the center of so much activity. In one episode, tryouts for the school musical were also held there. Didn't they have an auditorium?

Back in the day I hated this show but I didn't know about the first season which I discovered and watched on local TV quite recently. Julie Ann Haddock, Julie Piekarski, Felice Schachter & Molly Ringwald were just gorgeous. Classic 70's beauties. Great pity they dropped them all in Season 2 and on (except for a few cameos). I missed the start of the season so it's nice to see it here (although the quality was better on TV).

3:35- Despite the whole ostensible reason for Mrs. G. being at Eastland due to it being Kimberly's school and them drafting her to sub for a housemother, this is the very last time Kimberly gets seen or even mentioned on 'Facts of Life' This despite the fact that in 'Diff'rent Strokes', Kimberly was STILL supposed to be boarding at Eastland for the next few years despite never again crossing paths with Mrs. G. or any of the other characters on the show!
