My sister and I used to watch this all the time. All the classics: Fantasy Island, The Love Boat, Gilligan's Island, Silver Spoons etc...I miss these shows.
I still watch these old tv shows, facts of life, different strokes, alice, the Bionic women, give me a break, one day at a time ect. Some or on cozi and antenna tv cable channels
Jo was my hero when I was a teenager. I hadn’t seen girls like her on tv before. She liked cars, she liked sports, she was tough on the outside but she was secretly a big teddy bear. I liked cars and typical boyish activities and funnily enough I looked and dressed similarly to Jo: I had brown hair often in a ponytail and green eyes and I wore baggier clothes with motorcycle jackets. Jo helped me be confident in myself
As a kid, Tootie was my favorite character, but when I binged watched it as an adult, I came to appreciate Jo. Nancy McKeon's acting was and still is incredible.
@@josephclegg3562 The first season didn't do well. With so many characters, there would have been too many storylines to follow. so they decided to streamline the show and focus on a smaller group of girls.
Nancy McKeon. Acting and Gorgeous. Remember the red dress and Ballroom dance. WOW!!! Also watched the Division. They always take the good ones off and leave the garbage. Actually they still do that to this day. Most of what is on TV now is garbage.
The Facts of Life was & still my favorite of all shows! She is the best! I Loved Mrs. Garrett! I have so much in common with her in my personal life. RIP CHARLOTTE!
This show was so sweet, the chemistry between the cast members was amazing, they sure don’t make shows like that anymore, it’s hard for me to pick a favorite cast member, I loved them all.
Overall Nancy McKeon was my favorite in her role as Jo. I enjoy sitting back and rewatching the show again on rainy days. It still makes me laugh as I can relate to so many of the scenes.
Me being 45. I grew up on the show. I was in love with Jo and Blair. Nancy was beautiful. But then, so was Lisa. She might be the reason I love the name Lisa so much. I lived with one Lisa for 11 months 3 weeks. 1 day! lol Memories!
Blair? The one who advocated sex before marriage and mocked a girl who promoted traditional family values? Blair, who took Mrs. G. to a male strip show?
Absolutely loved this show! This is a very nice update on the cast. I only wish you had included Geri Jewell, who played Cousin Geri. She was great! 😁❤😊💖
Facts of Life was one of my all time favorite shows. I always wanted a sister, this way I had FOUR! As far as the characters go, they were all wonderful. But for me, JO STOLE THE SHOW!!!👍👍
I had just graduated h.s. when this show came out. I could relate to it due to the fact I worked at a McDonalds in Hawaii. Across the street from that franchise was a Catholic all girl's school Sacred Hearts Academy. Like Eastland had Bates Academy (all boys) Sacred Hearts had St.Louis Crusaders 2 blocks away. Loved this show b/c it was spot on on how teen girls acted. Rest in Peace Charlotte and Cloris.
I also loved Jo. She was everything I wanted to be at the time: beautiful, athletic, strong, tall, slim... (I knew I was smart, so no envy there, lol!) She didn't look or act like the others, with her no-nonsense ponytail, very little makeup, and absence of giggling; taught me that maybe it's ok to be different. Way to go, Jo!
Blair and Jo, Yes, I had a serious crush on them! This is fun to watch, takes me back to when I was a kid. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and stay blessed! 👍🇺🇲✌
I've been on team Blair since I watched this as a kid. Had a huge crush on her. She is an absolutely lovely woman. It's nice to see that these young actors seemed to get away from hollywood into adulthood unscatched.
This was my favorite show as a child even though the girls were all at least 9-10 years older than me. I’ve been healing my inner child with a total binge and I am about to start season 4 tonight. Hi was always my favorite with that motorcycle!❤
I cannot say that I had a favorite FoL character as they were all very endearing and lovable. Is there any wonder they all went on to lead successful careers.. One of my very favorite 80's sitcoms.
No one could deliver a line like Lisa as Blair. Always made me laugh out loud. Second one was Mindy. Those two were underdogs to the character of Jo and they made the show.
These are the one of my favorite shows I grow up me and my brothers used to watch this Facts of Life and Love Boat old shows that we grow up watching I really miss them all I really enjoy watching it brings back memories
@@NoName-vx6up Phyllis had her own spinoff series, it lasted nearly 3 seasons. Was never a huge fan of Facts, so it wasn't until I found out from somewhere, not sure where, maybe from a tribute to Ms Leachman on tv, that she had been on Facts AND that she had been on Lassie as the mother.
@@howardkerr8174 I don't remember Cloris Leachman being on Lassie. When it comes to the mother on Lassie, you're probably thinking about June Lockhart.
I loved the show very much, Lisa was on Tyler Perry"s Maderas Christmas show!! I tried to watched it when it's on tv, and of course Kim Fields played on Living Single I even watched the reruns every day!! I love it very much!! it's so very funny!!🤣❤
All the actors on the show here are my favorites I'm used to watch them all the time I grew up watching facts of Life and I think it was amazing show I wish they could come off with some more effects of life even though Mrs Garrett is no longer alive
I love all the episodes, but my favorite episode was the one entitled "Ten Little Indians". It was like a Twilight Zone parody. Tootie dreamed that Blair murdered everyone.
I loved her as mrs. Garrett on both shows she was such a great actress and Tootie was so funny she always made me laugh she's was so good I loved all of them they were great🤟🤟🤟👏👏👏
It was called Strange Voices. I remember that movie. The scene where Nicole(McKeon) has a schizophrenic episode and snaps at her roommate sent chills down my spine. She did excellent in that role
You left out a very important movie role from Nancy McKeon . ( A Cry For help the Tracey Thurman Story 1989 ) This movie was a head of its time when it was aired . domestic violence winds up in an ongoing struggle to get the police to take her seriously.
My favorite person was Jo Nancy Mckeon. Makes me think of how I was growing up. The tomboy type and a rebel still to this day I am both the tomboy and a rebel.
I love the 4 girls that left after the 1st season! I miss them! I am pleasantly surprised they showed Molly Ringwald, but what about the other 3, Julie Piekarski, Julie Anne Haddock, and Felice Schacter?

Who is your favorite from the show? 🤔
Can you please make these episodes in a one please mega playlist?
Jo was my favourite
Julie piotrowski from season 1
Joe
Cindy.
My sister and I used to watch this all the time. All the classics: Fantasy Island, The Love Boat, Gilligan's Island, Silver Spoons etc...I miss these shows.
Gilligan's Island wasn't an 80 sitcom.
Oops....It was always on. I realize it was a late 60's show. At 6 years old it was new to me back in the 80's.
I still watch these old tv shows, facts of life, different strokes, alice, the Bionic women, give me a break, one day at a time ect. Some or on cozi and antenna tv cable channels
Don't forget Webster, three's company and different strokes
Me too I watched chips
It's great that all these girls moved on to bigger and better things and didn't end up in rehab,that is refreshing!!!
T Squared + l agree with you

I like anything Nancy KcKeon is in. She is such a good actress that I would never type cast her as Jo. She really the heck out of anything she plays.
I never understood why they got rid of Nancy, Sue Anne, Molly, and Cindy.

This show was the best comedy show around in the 70s and 80s ! Started watching Facts Of Life in 1979 and really loved it !

It's refreshing that Blair kept her values.
It sounds like a true Christian, and not a hypocrite. GOD bless her and her family
Blair? The one who advocated sex before marriage and mocked a girl who promoted traditional family values? Blair, who took Mrs. G. to a male strip show?
@@Diostillrocks i think they mean the actress herself, not the character.
@@hadihatab3126 they should be smart enough to distinguish who is who.
@@Diostillrocks You just dont understand forgiveness, it is for all, including you. Not being a jerk...k?
Loved The Facts of Life growing up in the 80's.
All of them was one of us at one time. That’s a fact of life. Excellent video.
They were all my favorite It was such a good show. Growing up with them was great.
One of my favorite shows ever. I cant pick one, I loved the whole cast
Absolutely loved this show! This is a very nice update on the cast. I only wish you had included Geri Jewell, who played Cousin Geri. She was great! 😁❤😊💖
Geri and Jo were always my favorite characters
Facts of Life was one of my all time favorite shows. I always wanted a sister, this way I had FOUR!
As far as the characters go, they were all wonderful. But for me, JO STOLE THE SHOW!!!👍👍
Jo and Natalie were my favorite. I loved the episode where they visited Australia.🇦🇺
Jo's and Blair's frenemy relationship kept the show interesting.

I loved every character, this was a great show.
Jo was my fave and still is. She was tough but sweet at the same time.

This was one of my favorites. I grew up in Peekskill, NY. No matter where I was in the world, to hear my hometown on tv... that was special.

I liked all of the characters , Charlotte Rae was a wonderful mother figure for all these girls . RIP Charlotte , we loved you , and love you still .
I wish she had stayed until the end of the series.
I loved this show!
The thing about this cast is all those women are just wonderful people!! Just kind, warm people
I love The Facts Of Life!
If you don't love The Facts of Life, you didn't grow up in the 80s.
Used to sit and watch with my mom every night this was our go to show! ❤❤❤
I cannot say that I had a favorite FoL character as they were all very endearing and lovable. Is there any wonder they all went on to lead successful careers.. One of my very favorite 80's sitcoms.
Enjoyed this trip down memory lane. Cloris Leachman portrayed Phyllis Lindstrom on the Mary Tyler Moore and had a spinoff.
Thank you!!!!! They completely missed this.
I loved this show
And yes I did learn some facts about FACTS OF LIFE 👏🏿💞thanks so very much
No one could deliver a line like Lisa as Blair. Always made me laugh out loud. Second one was Mindy. Those two were underdogs to the character of Jo and they made the show.
Loved them all ,thank you!!!!
This was my favorite show for a long time when I was a kid. I wanted to be just like Joe.
These are the one of my favorite shows I grow up me and my brothers used to watch this Facts of Life and Love Boat old shows that we grow up watching I really miss them all I really enjoy watching it brings back memories
Cloris Leachman was Mary Tyler Moore’s neighbor in her series. That’s what I remember her for the most.
Yes, I was waiting for them to acknowledge that.
No one can ever forget Phyllis she won an Emmy for that role.

Yes her landlord and got her own show Phyllis! That is where I remember her from also
I liked them all, it was a great combination with the all the actresses for which they brought their own personality 😊😊
Love ❤️ that show all the girls are my favorite ones 😍😉😍
They’ve aged Gorgeously! 💖
I still watch this show on logo ch every day 😊 im glad they show alot of the classics still .
But on Logo there is more commercials than actual show. I tried to watch Bewitched and it drove me nuts
Facts of life, love that show since I was a child. Thank you for sharing. 💜💖💜
Wow.. what a walk back into memory lane.. This were the best times..
My favorite character was definitely Jo.., she really 'got beer'..., LOL!!!
I loved the show very much, Lisa was on Tyler Perry"s Maderas Christmas show!! I tried to watched it when it's on tv, and of course Kim Fields played on Living Single I even watched the reruns every day!! I love it very much!! it's so very funny!!🤣❤
Tooties mom also played the mom of Penny on Good Times.
Tootie's mom was also Kim's mom.
Really that's good to know. Loved Good times. All the good ones are gone.
All the actors on the show here are my favorites I'm used to watch them all the time I grew up watching facts of Life and I think it was amazing show I wish they could come off with some more effects of life even though Mrs Garrett is no longer alive
Mindy Cohn is my absolute FAVORITE!!! Her personality is so amazing!!!
This was a favorite sitcom and they were all great 👍 👌 ❤ 🎬 🎬 🎬 actresses Jo was a favorite on the show thanks for the memories.
I loved Watching All these Programs. They were Great . It's nice to see these programs Again. Thank You
I loved. All those old shows
How can anyone pick just one episode? I loved the whole thing.....😊
I love all the episodes, but my favorite episode was the one entitled "Ten Little Indians". It was like a Twilight Zone parody. Tootie dreamed that Blair murdered everyone.
@@josephclegg3562, oh I remember that one. Blair has the best facial expressions when she is evil......lol.....
Tootsie was my favorite. It was refreshing to see someone that look like me on t.v.
Well, that's not a problem anymore. Whites are being replaced in every role, soon they'll be casting black people to play the Founding Fathers.
So, Lt. Uhura didn't count, eh?
@@TheRoadhammer379 Lol 😂 so true. We don't have to worry about aliens 👽taking over? The black lives matter already did! 😱
Apparently not your favorite since her name was TOOTIE.
Her name was Tootie.
They actually had Crossovers between the Facts of Life and Different Strokes, Which meant they were set within the same continuity.
Yea, I remember when Arnold was dating Tootie
Diff'rent Strokes also had a crossover with Silver Spoons as well. Shame they never worked in a Punky Brewster tie in.
The Facts of Life was a spinoff of Different Strokes.
Thank you so much for your channel. I do care so much what happened to my favorite stars from back in the day.
The LIVE showing of a lot of these sitcoms were fantastically funny! Shows of today CANNOT touch or compare.
Blair was so gorgeous. She was fundamental in teenage puberty.
So great that Lisa Welchel turned out to be a great person!
Even better that she became a Christian.
Years ago, while visiting LA, my ex and I attended a taping of an episode. First time I saw a live taping and it was fascinating.
Jo and Mrs Garrett Natalie all the woman are great ladies keep up the good work
I love them all. Rip in peace Charlotte Rae from a fan.
I grew up with these kids! Absolutely loved this show and was sad when they kicked out the 4. Blair was my favorite
Blair was my favorite too
Natalie was my favorite. Even had a crush on the character.
@@danbryan3417 Blair way > than Natalie
@@chrischampagne4307 I related more with Natalie and I thought Blair was kind of snobbish.
The sister school. in Australia was my favorite “ reunion”!
I loved her as mrs. Garrett on both shows she was such a great actress and Tootie was so funny she always made me laugh she's was so good I loved all of them they were great🤟🤟🤟👏👏👏
Love ❤️ love ❤️ love ❣️ this show just got the full season 🥰
Nancy McKeon also had the leading role of Tracey Thurman in A cry for help: The Tracey Thurman Story.
Yes. I can't believe he skipped right past that.
Nancy McKeon appeared in a string of TV movies.
Love Nancy McKeon......lovely and strong.
Watched that well. Tracey Thurman.
Good movie
Facts of Life show! 1980s 🕴💃🤹🏋🏌👯👫👪🤶🕺 i was having a baby🤰in 1982! But love the show. 💑
I used to write Lisa when I was a teenager,and she wrote back and sent b/w photos of herself. My favorite seasons were actually,the first 2.🙂
Nancy McKeon's best role was along side Valerie Harper in a movie where she played a schizophrenic girl.
It was called Strange Voices. I remember that movie. The scene where Nicole(McKeon) has a schizophrenic episode and snaps at her roommate sent chills down my spine. She did excellent in that role
Blair warner, one of my earliest my tv crushes as a child
When I was young I thought Blair was gorgeous but I had a crush on Jo 8)
Me too
Me too! I wanted to be like Jo!
I love all these girls. I grew up with them .
I never realized that it was a spinoff!!?? Wow!! The things that ya never knew!!!? Lol God bless ya all today Shalom
What are Geraldine Ann "Geri" Jewell...? She did a wonderful job on the show as well...
They couldn’t be bothered but glad to know what George Clooney is doing. 😉🤣
I guess he did some tv and movies ……. As if anyone didn’t know.
I saw every episode from 1979 to 1986. I’m proud to be an 80s Generation Xer’
I loved all the characters and all the episodes 💞💞
My friend used to have a band called "The Edna Garret experience"
My favorite was first Jo, then Mindy, Mrs. Garrett, then Blair and Tootie, in that order.😂❤
I miss that show so much those where days
My crush was Nancy Mckeon. ( Jo ) And she is still pretty in her 50s
Yep. We all had a crush on her.
I loved all girls from the Facts of Life still do TV ISN,T GOOD ANYMORE
Tootie will always be my favorite.
Blair was my favorite. Then Tootie, Natalie third and then Jo, I watched all nine seasons. I liked all of the characters.
havnt seen the rest of the cast lately but Blair still looks great 👍
Kim is in a current TV show. Molly is in a current TV show and makes movies. Mindy has a podcast.
You left out a very important movie role from Nancy McKeon . ( A Cry For help the Tracey Thurman Story 1989 ) This movie was a head of its time when it was aired . domestic violence winds up in an ongoing struggle to get the police to take her seriously.
To all the actors God Bless them and there family Xoxo 😘 ❌⭕️❤️♥️💋
I like the first season best. I liked the larger ensemble. I was a young boy and liked all the pretty girls.
Totally agree.
Ah those young crushes
Season one is one of my favorites as well.
My favorite person was Jo Nancy Mckeon. Makes me think of how I was growing up. The tomboy type and a rebel still to this day I am both the tomboy and a rebel.
Mindi Kohen was my favorite. She was real and very believable
Nancy was my favorite! Beautiful Lady!!!
Jo was my favorite. I loved it when Blair and Jo argued.
Blair was my favorite, she was gorgeous~!
I love you for this. I watched as a little girl.❤️ I loved Tootie. Tootie was on an episode of Good Times too.❤️
I love the 4 girls that left after the 1st season! I miss them! I am pleasantly surprised they showed Molly Ringwald, but what about the other 3, Julie Piekarski, Julie Anne Haddock, and Felice Schacter?
Felice Schacter is in the thumbnail. The original poster got their Nancys confused.
Julie P married a dentist...idk about the other 2
i remember a little bit of this show
