Is Social Studies the spin off of The Facts of Life? I know it was on for a very short time, but what exactly was it? I hear the theme song A LOT around my school, but I can't figure out why they sing it. I personally like the theme, but anyway. What was Social Studies, and why was is called "Social Studies" if it was a spin off from FOL?

JULIA: Please, if you really want to feel like crying try being one of those women who hold down a job, raise a family on the side, watch their legal rights erode year after year, and are still being told that women's liberation went to far. That ought to make you feel like crying. Hhhoooo!

Julia and Carlene are talking about a poll on the Flinstones sexuality that was in the newspaper...
ALLISON: I can't believe you two are talking about cartoon character's sexuality. They're two dementinal.
CARLENE: Well gee, Allison. So are you.

Well, it was on WB for 6 episodes on 1997. It starred Julia Duffy, and was a continuation of the last episodes of FOL, except the characters are different. Julia was a Social Studies teacher.

Same plot but not a spinoff of the Facts of Life.

Social Studies aired in 1997 on UPN, not The WB and was a VERY funny sitcom, however it only lasted 1 season. I loved it. Lisa Whitholt, who was Danielle on My So-Called Life was in it as one of the students... GREAT SHOW wish they'd play the reruns.. It had NOTHING to do w/ Facts Of Life.
