I was watching the Natalie having sex with snake epsiode last night and Blair wasn't in this one and it just didn;t seem right to see just Tootie, Natalie, and Joe. I needed to see Blair in order to watch the show, something was just missing without her. The Girls without Blair was like

The Sweathogs with Barbarino

Rerun and Dwayne with Raj

Postie and Ralph without Richie

I both agree and disagree. Blair was important, but it was an ensemble cast. All the girls I think needed to be together to make it work.

I disagree-lol Blair had the STANDOUT personality that made the interactions of the 4 very watchable

Actually it was Mrs. Garrett who was the glue of the show. Once she left, it was never the same.

I don't necessarily think that Blair was the one who kept the show together. I think it's just really strange to not have her there. But she was a really key character and probably more essential than others.

I second that!! I was watching a tape of diff'rent strokes a couple nights ago (back when both were on nick at nite) and in the middle of my diff'rent strokes episode was a facts of life episode, i was all excited... until i saw cloris in the opener... now dont get me wrong, i love her and her acting, but it was just not the same, i dont understand how the girls could have formed a close bond with beverly over night like it seemed to happen in the show... it's like when sitcoms magically age the baby they had to boost ratings like 5 years... just doesn't work!

I didn't say the Glue that held the show together, I was talking about the friendship of the 4 Girls

I TOTALLY agree, it wasn't the same once Mrs.G got married and left the show.

I think Mrs.G did that, Also I would say that Jo did as well, Even though Nat is my fav out of all the girls.

Blair was the LEADER of the Group.

Blair was the LEADER of the Group.


To YOU she was the leader. NOT to everyone

To YOU she was the leader. NOT to everyone


Well we know it wasn't Natalie or Tootie so that just leaves Joe and tjat's why Blair was the leader. I can watch a Click without their leader-lol

I stand in the middle. I think as it was a full cast, each of the girls was equally as important. And at the same time, I think the show was not nearly as good as when Charlotte Rae left. Facts is one of my favorite show, but I think it was the aura of the four girls plus Mrs. Garrett that made it most special.

I actually disagree with the sentiment that Blair was the leader. Generally when any of the girls looked for leadership (particularly in the later years), it seemed they went to Jo.

That was actually a source of contention for Blair in that one Edna's Edibles episode when Mrs. Garrett went out of town and Blair was so offended that everybody always assumed Jo was in charge of everything. Natalie and Tootie even ask Jo if they have to do what Blair says at one point when Blair temporarily goes all dictator on them. LOL.

I think in terms of episodes, any episode that is missing one of the key four girls feels off because they are such a ensemble group. So yes, in that sense "The First Time" feels off without Blair. But I also think any episode without Tootie, Natalie or Jo feels just as off.

I also agree with the fact that if anybody is the glue between the girls, its Mrs. Garrett.

It wasn't about Mrs. Garrett, only the 4 Girls

I can see where Blair could be considered the leader. But I also agree that every girl was important.

I missed Blair in "The First Time". "Facts" is not "Facts" without Blair.

Nope. I Don't Agree. Next...

I TOTALLY agree, it wasn't the same once Mrs.G got married and left the show.
I agree, and adding Andy didn't help.

I just realized that SOLOMON made this thread. OMG...:eek:

Why are you so shocked?-lol

If you're talking about who was the leader among the girls, then I agree with Solomon, it was Blair.

BLAIR THE LEADER? :nonono: IT WAS DEFINITELY JO:cool:


If you're talking about who was the leader among the girls, then I agree with Solomon, it was Blair.

Jo was definitely the leader, maybe in the first season Blair was the leader. Either way, I can't stand to watch an episode without either one of them.

BLAIR THE LEADER? :nonono: IT WAS DEFINITELY JO:cool:
Okay, I'm easy. I'll defer to the experts. Truth is, I've only seen the show casually through the years. For whatever reason, in my mind, it just seemed to me that Blair was the leader. I stand corrected. :)

YOU'RE BACK!:wave:

I TOTALLY AGREE:D

Jo was definitely the leader, maybe in the first season Blair was the leader. Either way, I can't stand to watch an episode without either one of them.

In my opinion, it was Natalie. However, I do like J, B, and T.

Totally agree

Totally agree with u, FOL without Blair was like a sundae without cherries. I.e. the reason Blair, Lisa Whelchel, didn't appear in that episode, the only on of 209!, was that Lisa strongly disapproves of pre-marital sex. Due to this she flet it would be wrong to have any part in it. Not sure I agree, but u have to respect that. Blair was the obvious catalyst for the show and she was groomed to take Mrs. G's place, check the series finale for conformation.

That's one of my favorite episodes and to tell the truth I didn't notice that she was missing.

I'LL POLITELY DISAGREE. IF ANYONE WAS AN OBVIOUS CHOICE TO TAKE MRS. G'S PLACE, IT WOULD'A BEEN JO. NO ONE REALLY SEEKED ADVICE FROM BLAIR. IT WAS JO.

BESIDES, CAREER WISE, BLAIR WAS A LAWYER. WHAT DID THAT HAVE TO DO WITH TAKING OVER EASTLAND? SECOND, JO SAID HER DREAM WAS TO BECOME A TEACHER, AND SHE WAS INVOLVED IN SOCIAL WORK.

FURTHERMORE I ASK YOU: WHO DO YOU THINK WOULD HAVE MORE OF THE SKILLS AND KNOW-HOW TO WHIP THESE CO-ED EASTLAND KIDS INTO SHAPE? BLAIR? SHE'S GIVE THEM HER CREDIT CARD AND TELL THEM TO GO SHOPPING:lol:

NOW JO ON THE OTHERHAND...SHE IS STREET WISE, HAS COMMON SENSE, AND WOULD BE ABLE TO TELL IF SOMEONE'S TRYING TO PULL A FAST ONE ON HER OR ANYONE ELSE (THINK KELLY) BLAIR'S CLUELESS:lol:

IT'S JUST THAT WITH JO'S RESPECT FOR TEACHERS AND LOVE OF STUDENTS, AS WELL AS THE "BEEN THERE, DONE THAT EXPERTISE" FROM HER BRONX AND EASTLAND DAYS, COUPLED WITH A SINCERE DESIRE TO HELP THESE KIDS, LIKE MRS. G HELPED HER, I THINK JO WOULD HAVE BEEN THE BETTER HEADMISTRESS. I THINK SHE WOULD HAVE HAD THE OVERALL BETTER COMMON SENSE TO DO WHAT WAS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE STUDENT. SHE WOULD BEEN FAIR, BUT FIRM, JUST LIKE MRS. G, BUT WOULD ALWAYS HAVE HER "DOOR OPEN" FOR STUDENTS TO FEEL AT EASE TO TALK WITH HER.

IF I HAD A PROBLEM AND HAD TO CHOOSE WHO TO GO TO FOR SOUND ADVICE, WOULD I WANT TO GO TO SOMEONE I DIDN'T THINK COULD RELATE TO ME (BLAIR'S IN HER OWN LITTLE WORLD MOST OF THE TIME, LET'S FACE IT); OR WOULD I WANT TO GO TO SOMEONE THAT I THOUGHT COULD UNDERSTAND WHERE I WS COMING FROM? I'D GO TO JO EVERY SINGLE TIME.

BESIDES, HOW SERIOUSLY COULD YOU TAKE ADVICE FOM A WOMAN WHO SAYS TO ANOTHER ONE A LEDGE, READY TO JUMP TO HER DEATH: "AND REMEMBER! DEAD PEOPLE CAN'T SHOP!":lol: I REST MY CASE:D

BUT...WOULD I WATCH EVERY SINGLE EPISODE AND DO I THINK THE SHOW WOULD STILL BE FUNNY, OF COURSE. MAYBE MORE SO BECAUSE OF BLAIR, BUT, SHE WOULD NOT BE THE LOGICAL CHOICE OF THE FAB 4 AS THE HEADMISTRESS. THAT'S ALL I'M TRYING TO SAY PEOPLE;)

I agree that Jo would be a more logical choice as headmistress than Blair. However, I think the reason that the writers went with Blair was because she isn't the person you would expect to see in that sort of job. Blair as headmistress would lead to more comical moments.

FOL without any of the girls (including Mrs. G.) would not be the same. That is why when a reunion movie was made and Nancy did not appear, it was not the same. You need to have each girl there because they each represented a part of something that everyone can identify with.

Blair to me was like the other tv characters below

Raj on What's happening
Richie on Happy Days
Vinny on Welcome Back Kotter


In other words, the LEADER of the Pack

And if Jo left the show, or Natalie left the show or Tootie left, there would be a void just like Raj leaving WH or like Richie leaving Happy Days. It would never be the same.

Blair, tootie and Nat would be just like

Raj and dwayne when Rerun left, not a biggie

But you can't compare WH with FOL. It had a following and if any girl were to leave, the show might as well stop airing. Each girl was strong, that is why they dwindled it down to the 3 girls and added Jo. Those other girls in season 1 were worthless. Blair, Tootie and Natalie had something special. They added the tomboy Jo and it made it great. Not too many girls and each one was unique.

the show wouldnt be the same without any of them, but i do see blair as the leader! jo took the lead a lot, but blair was the big shot...she had to be the leader! lol! i cant hardly watch "the first time" cause i cant stand to watch "facts" without blair...whereas, it doesnt bother me so much when the other girls are gone for an ep or two! after blair though, it does bother a little when jos gone, but not as much as blair! ;)

Tootie needed Nat and vice-versa. They were best friends. Blair did not need any of the girls and Jo did not either, however, as a whole, they were friends. Blair didn't like much of Jo's views, values, up-bringing and Jo was the same with Blair, but they were much alike in many ways. Each one was a "leader" (I hate to use that word for a group of friends) and they each helped the two younger girls, Tootie and Nat.

yeah, basically it was a joint effort between blair and jo to be the leaders of tootie and natalie! ;)

Bingo! ;)

I always felt that Jo was the so called leader of the girls. Nat and Tootie were just hilarious together

Definitely, you couldn't have Nat without Tootie and vice-versa. Those two were inseparable.

I always refer to Blair and Jo as the "reluctant best friends". No one knew each other better (and annoyed each other more often) than those two...I also use this term regarding Harris and Dietrich on Barney Miller.

Jo was the glue, I dont think the girls would've been friends so long without her.

It was Jo who was the leader of the show, and Jo and Blair who were the glue that held the show together. Without the Jo/Blair duo, the show wouldnt have survived. not that i dont absolutely love the rest of the girls, but Nancy McKeon and Lisa Whelchel have such a gift of acting and their chemistry onscreen together is so incredible. They feed off of eachother and for that reason, the show was successful. They wouldnt have made it if Blair didnt have her sidekick (Jo). They were so funny together and can act better than anyone in this entire world!

I was watching the Natalie having sex with snake epsiode last night and Blair wasn't in this one and it just didn;t seem right to see just Tootie, Natalie, and Joe. I needed to see Blair in order to watch the show, something was just missing without her. The Girls without Blair was like

The Sweathogs with Barbarino

Rerun and Dwayne with Raj

Postie and Ralph without Richie


I have to agree with you. Blair kinda stood out to me as well. Jo is in a close second but it is Blair that does it for me.

I agree, plus Jo didn't have the social skills to be the leader of any PACK-lol

I agree, plus Jo didn't have the social skills to be the leader of any PACK-lol


She later became a counselor. So tell me, how is it that Jo didn't she have social skills?:lol:

well first of all, during the first season, the ratings werent so good(according to Nancy's IP) so when they fired some of the cast and hired Nancy, the ratings picked back up so theres proof that the show wouldnt have survived without her. Nancy and lisa both headed up the show. The show wouldnt have survived without the two of them. One without the other wouldnt have made the show a hit. The two "deep down" best friends were the best thing that ever happened to television.

She later became a counselor. So tell me, how is it that Jo didn't she have social skills?:lol:


I'm talking about when she was younger

I'm talking about when she was younger


That still does not make any sense to me, you have to give some examples. It seems to me that in the beginning Jo was always giving others good advice or she was putting someone in their place.

ur right. Jo always used her street smarts to give advice but she has a soft side of her that is like no other. She is such a compassionate person who really cared about the other girls even if she didnt show it. and yes, she was very good at giving advice.

I'm talking about when she was younger
I agree with Brie, that makes no sense. You make it seem like Jo was dumb and had no common sense. Jo made bad mistakes in the beginning, but she was street savvy and she knew how to lead many times.

I d say both: BLAIR & JO were the leader but only one could become the headmaster & of course it had to be BLAIR + you know why? because she was the only one of the 4 girls who was "more than meets the eyes" + you never knew what to expect from her..... BLAIR was really good at surprising people: she was very smart behind all that make up she wore + she had learned a lot over the years about MRS. G s advice & lectures.
I Think BLAIR was the perfect headmaster who took after MRS. G s influence.:)

It was something else altogether that held the girls together. Not Jo, or Blair. Or even Mrs.G. It was just a special something that made them all click. Jo saved the show after the first season; Jo and Blair by themselves could have made a passably good show, but Nat and Tootie and Mrs. G had to be there to keep things moving and make the show what it was

NOW JO ON THE OTHERHAND...SHE IS STREET WISE, HAS COMMON SENSE, AND WOULD BE ABLE TO TELL IF SOMEONE'S TRYING TO PULL A FAST ONE ON HER OR ANYONE ELSE (THINK KELLY) BLAIR'S CLUELESS:lol:

Are you referring to the obnoxious girl introduced in the 5th season. I recall a horrendous episode where the girl did a tremendous amount of damage and she got a very small punishment. However, I will say the scene where Jo shows up in the little girl's apartment was awesome.

Jo and Blair by themselves could have made a passably good show,

IMO, thatwould have been a much better show.

Jo and Blair by themselves could have made a passably good show,

IMO, thatwould have been a much better show.

Yes, it would. But it wouldn't be FOL as we know it. BTW, did you see that scene in the first or second episode in season 9, when Blair comes to 'bail' Jo out of prison? When they got to the house, the chemistry between them was quite impressive. It's a shame the producers didn't throw money at McKeon for a brand new show with just her and Lisa. (but I still feel bad abt excluding Nat and Tootie and Mrs. G from this all)

I personally feel that Jo was the leader, especially for Natalie/Tootie. JO was the one who cared about Natalie/Tootie's friendship in "Green-Eyed Monster". She checked the hell out of Natalie because she was acting a hot ass mess. What Jo did in that episode salvaged Nat/Toot's relationship. In "Dear Me" Jo was the one who tried to make Tootie feel better because she didn't want to go Hiking with a group of boys. Even after she found out that Tootie faked that letter she didn't want Tootie to be humiliated so she told the others to not let on the fact that they knew that it was fake so that Tootie wouldn't feel embarrassed. BLAIR was the one who was selfish and self-serving all throughout that episode.

Btw, Jo & blair would NOT have made a good show by themselves sorry. If that was the case then it would have happened but it didn't. (I also say the same thing if it was Natalie/Tootie.) We've seen that episode where Nat and Tot got their own apartment and Jo/Blair didn't have much to say towards each other and Blair even thought that Jo was bored with her. They couldn't wait for Nat & toot to move back in with them. Natalie and Tootie provided the young, quirky and spunky energy of the crew.

I'd have to say that the glue of the show were 2 people: MRS G and BLAIR WARNER!

Both of them were the reason i continue watching FOL: they had such great chemistry on season 1 and made the sitcom entertaining! I could come up with examples: from day 1, those 2 hit it off! On the 'pilot episode', BLAIR is rude to MRS G when she tells her that 'housekeeper' should know their place (when she is catches her smoking) nevertheless MRS G snaps the cigarette out of her hand to save her from getting the blame. The other episode 'Rough housing', MRS G teaches BLAIR a valuable lesson about appearance (when she upsets CINDY by telling her she's 'weird') and the 2 of them become instant friends and confidante, so what else do you need? Does anyone agree with me?
I know JO came later on, but to me BLAIR made the show so entertaining with her 'rich bitch' with a 'heart of gold' attitude lol!

Yes. I felt Blair was the leader or big sis to the girls.

It was Mrs. Garrett who did. Blair didn't seem that close to either Nancy M, Cindy or Molly in season 1. All she did was to insult either Sue Ann or Jo through most of the seasons.

I agree with you that BLAIR wasn't close to any of the season 1 cast (except for SUE ANN, although on a superficial way). With JO it was different though: they insulted each other most of the time, but they shared so much too and they had their moments where you can see how much they cared for one another... For me they had the deepest bond and brought the energy we needed in the show!:wave:
