wasn't the facts of life a spin off of different strokes?! im getting confused now! lol

No need to get confused.
Facts Of Life was a spin-off of Different Strokes.

.....and Alan Thicke & ex-wife Gloria Loring wrote the theme songs for both shows.

(Loring recorded the hit "Friends & Lovers" with Carl Anderson & played on "Days Of Our Lives")

Please, don't remind me that Alan Thicke walks this earth...

I still have "Thicke Of The Night" flashbacks...

:crazy:
