Questions that come to mind when thinking about The Facts of Life
1 Why Charlotte Rae of all talents to do a spin off
2 She did not have much of a speaking role of Different Strokes
3 Did Nbc know Facts would be such a hit?
4 Why spin off Diff Strokes when many shows could have been spun off during this period?
NBC must have had something on the brain when creating this show because it lasted as long as Diff Strokes but never got as dull as Diff Strokes after many yeats and never got dropped by a network just to be picked up again to be changed. In my oppinion Facts was way better than Strokes by a long shot but did NBC know this would happen because it happen perfectly with a person who was not even a star of the previous show she as on. Amazing NBC thanks for bringing us The Facts of Life that show taught me so much about life and a close knit family. I truly felt the emotions those girls went through and my mother felt Mrs Garrett who was a friend who would love so hard but would give you heck if you stepped out of line. When Facts went off I was upset and felt like apart of me was missing but when dvd sets were being released of the show those old memories came back with the same 25 minute lessons that got butchered by syndication.
PS: I will admit that I was not very impressed by the last 2 seasons but they had their own route to go considering the girls were grown and did not need an older person who would treat them like kids. Even with the change it watched the show but from a different perspective
