Both shows came-out in the 80's, both shows had a surrogate who watched-over the girls, but which show do you prefer?

Much as I loved Gimme a Break, Facts of Life wins.

I loved both shows but I always liked gimmie a break just a little bit better I think it was because as a teen boy I had a HUGE crush on kari michaelsen

I went with GAB myself...it seems more like a condensed and more friendlier version of AITF...Mort Lachman was responsible for both shows and the lay-out of the first floor does seem similar to AITF.

I love both but I like GAB! just a little bit more because I've always really loved Nell Carter. She's a classy lady.

I don't really like the synopsis of Gimme A Break so i'll go with The Facts of Life.

I've never seen an episode of Gimme a Break! but I want to. I've seen a few episodes of The Facts of Life so I pick FOL.

Same here. I always liked Nell! I voted Gimme a break! And they were a Polish family- like me! :)

Facts Of Life. Mainly because I've seen it more. I haven't seen Gimme A Break in years. Both shows I watched when they originally aired.

The Facts of Life. I've never seen Gimme a Break before, but I want to someday. I would probably like it.

Facts of Life. (Gimme a Break is the show with the Kit Kat bars, right?)

Gimme a Break is so sickeningly stupid. Not even Nell Carter's singing could save it.

These shows need to switch networks. I could see The Facts of Life if it came to Antenna TV. Gimme a Break wouldn't be missed.
