Hello, I'm from Italy and I am a huge fan of FOL and DS. I love it, it's a wonderful show. My favorite seasons are 2-5 and my favorite characters are Mrs. Garrett, Natalie and Blair. My least favorite seasons are 1 and 9 but I like every year, characters Molly (I find her boring sometimes :lol:) and Kelly the shoplifter, but really, I love every aspect of this show. I watch the episodes in English because the Italian dub is terrible. Here in Italy the show was renamed "L'albero delle mele" which means the apple tree, because apple represents a girl growing up. I'm really happy to be here on this forum with other FOL members. Forgive my bad english

Oh wow, FOL-FAN-ITA, welcome to the board! :wave:

We're glad to have you here, and that's wonderful that you enjoy the show! I love seasons 1-4, and I like 5 and 6 as well, and 7-9 are so different, but I enjoy them for what they are.

I'm sorry to hear you don't like Molly, she's my second favorite of what we call "the Lost Girls" (the four girls who were cut from the show after season 1: Sue Ann, Nancy, Cindy, and Molly). That's interesting you find Molly "boring", because she they used her as a feminist character, while not giving poor Nancy much of anything to do. If they hadn't have invented Roger, Nancy would have barely spoken! lol (but I agree with you on Kelly, I have no use for her)

"The Apple Tree"?? :lol: That's cute! :) "L'albero delle mele", it's cool to know the show's name in Italian! popcorn: :so

And your English is very good! Welcome aboard! :D

Hi '80'sSitcoms. I agree with you that seasons 7-9 are so different from the previous ones, i was so sad when Mrs Garrett left the show. Nothing against Beverly Ann but Mrs Garrett was wonderful. She was so funny on DS and on Fol she was perfect. I also like some season 1 episode (Rough Housing, Emily Dickinson, I.Q. and others) but seasons 2-5 were the best. My favorite Lost Girls are in order: Sue Ann, Cindy, Nancy and Molly. Poor Nancy, I agree with you. She was there with nothing to do, although she had a major role in The Girls School episode. I also wanted to see Kimberly at Eastland sometimes. Thanks for your welcome. Good evening (here in Italy it's 6:35 pm)

Yes, Mrs. Garrett was so wonderful! I think every fan of the show adores her. :) She is so funny :lol:, and also so comforting. :grouphug:

I consider the "golden age" of the show to be seasons 2-4, what I call "the classic cafeteria years", as that is the most iconic era of the show. I love season 1 too and wish it had been extended with more balanced scripts for all the girls. Character-wise, my favorite Lost Girl order is: Cindy, Molly, Sue Ann, Nancy.

I too wish we had gotten to see Kimberly at Eastland more!

"The Apple Tree", because girls growing up are like apples---I love that! :lol:

Mrs G. was wonderful. Everyone needs Edna Garrett in his/her life. The cafeteria, I love it, every single event takes place there :D:D:D. Eastland has only one dorm, Mrs Garrett's room, the girl's room and the cafeteria :D:D:D:D:D. It's so bizarre our italian title, isn't it? Compare a girl to an apple :D:D:D. Here, tv networks changed the title of the show and also the opening credits music. I like the original music, You take the good, you take the bad :D:D. Plus, seasons 6-9, Goes to Paris and Down Under were unpublished, so I watch the series with the original language.

Mrs G. was wonderful. Everyone needs Edna Garrett in his/her life.

Yes! I grew up wishing I had my own Mrs. Garrett and Mr. Belvedere, just for me. :)


The cafeteria, I love it, every single event takes place there :D:D:D. Eastland has only one dorm, Mrs Garrett's room, the girl's room and the cafeteria :D:D:D.

:lol: I'm laughing because a fellow member of this board is bothered by the fact that "every single event" is in the cafeteria, lol (but he loves the show!).

I love the cafeteria too! I love the layout, the architecture, and the color: I call it "Eastland Yellow", that beautiful pale soft yellow, and I would love to have rooms that color in my own home. :)

Actually this isn't a dorm though, it's the cafeteria building. There are separate dorms on campus (which you saw in season 1).


Here, tv networks changed the title of the show and also the opening credits music. I like the original music, You take the good, you take the bad :D.

Yes, I love that song! Especially the closing song too! :guitar: :drummer:

They changed the music in Italy? Wow! I guess that makes sense, if they changed the title, but it's kind of a shame, because the music is so wonderful!


Plus, seasons 6-9, Goes to Paris and Down Under were unpublished, so I watch the series with the original language.

Oh wow---glad you finally got to watch them all! I just watched "Paris" Sunday night as my kick-off to watching season 4! popcorn: :so

"L'albero delle mele!" :D

Welcome to the board! So Sue Ann was your favorite lost girl? Always nice to have another Sue Ann fan on the board. IQ is my favorite episode of the entire series!

Wow Italy used a different theme song? Does season 1 have the same music as the others? Any place to hear it?

IQ is my favorite episode of the entire series!

It is?? Of the entire series?? Interesting, I didn't know that!


Does season 1 have the same music as the others? Any place to hear it?

Hey Lorsie: yeah there's a place to hear it---Italy! :rofl:

It is?? Of the entire series?? Interesting, I didn't know that!




Hey Lorsie: yeah there's a place to hear it---Italy! :rofl:

Yes Ik I mentioned it was my fav season 1 Ep and have made many references to season 1 being my fav. ;)

Well I’ve been to Italy, unfortunately I wasn’t able to find FOL on my TV there :lol:

Hi everybody. I'm from Italy and I am a huge fan of Fol and DS. I'm watching Fol again :):). I love it, it's a wonderful show. My favourite seasons are 2-5 and my favourite characters are Mrs Garrett, Natalie and Blair. My least favorite seasons are 1 and 9, characters Molly (she'so boring, forgive me Molly Ringwald) and Kelly. I watch the episodes in english because italian dub was horrible. Here in Italy the show was renamed L'albero delle mele (the apple tree) because apple represents a girl growing up (i know, it's horrible :D:D). I'm glad to sign on this forum. Forgive my bad english, i'm trying to learn this language. :D:D

Welcome to the board FFI, I too liked seasons 2-5, but I also liked 1 as well. My favorites are Mrs. G, Tootie, Cindy, and Blair, but Jo and Nat were cool too.

Just a word of advice. Don't use your :D lightly. You only get so many of those, then...poof...they're gone forever :D.

Welcome, FFI!

My favorite Lost Girls order is: Cindy and Sue Ann, Nancy, and Molly. I also like Blair, Tootie, Natalie, Jo, and Mrs. G, of course. I don't care for Kelly or Pippa.

It is interesting to hear about how the show aired in Italy: I had heard that girls in Italy are called "apples".

Yes Ik I mentioned it was my fav season 1 Ep and have made many references to season 1 being my fav. ;)

Haha, I guess if I had done that mathematical formula, I could've come up with that. :typing:


Well I’ve been to Italy

You have?? Mama, mia! Wow! :eek: First Mrs. Garrett and the girls go to Paris, now Lorsie's been to Italy! :lol: Very cool!

By the way FOL-FAN-ITA, you may not know this, but the original title of the show was going to be "Garrett's Girls"! :cheer: :triplets

Poor Nancy, I agree with you. She was there with nothing to do, although she had a major role in The Girls School episode. I also wanted to see Kimberly at Eastland sometimes.

We've said much the same. Always felt weird that Kimberly was only once seen in her own school.

And I wish Nancy had been thrown a few lines now and then...

Yes! I grew up wishing I had my own Mrs. Garrett and Mr. Belvedere, just for me. :)

I'm not the only one who thinks this about the cafeteria :lol::lol: I like the original music but they changed it :mad::mad:. Yesterday i watched the episode Gamma Gamma or Bust

Wow Italy used a different theme song? Does season 1 have the same music as the others? Any place to hear it?
Hey, Lorimar. I.Q. is my favorite episode of the first season. I like Sue Ann also, she was the only lost girl to have a role in the first 13 episodes. Nancy was unused (except I.Q.), Molly had only one episode and Cindy, following Sue Ann, was used during the season. Italy uses different theme songs, first (an italian song, you can hear it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heTJMqAeje8) and second (Please, please by Paul J. Qualley: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3H4xSHvjbg). Here you can watch the opening theme for the fifth season and some scenes in italian from Brave New World (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SGXd3FoEVw). Local networks used the original theme but our major tv network, Canale 5 (Channel 5) used these songs.

And I wish Nancy had been thrown a few lines now and then...

It was weird because the fol girls visited her on ds.

Thanks to everybody, I'm happy to join this board (and forgive me for my bad English). The italian title was so funny but the opening theme was horrible (except please please). Unlike fol, ds was broadcasted with the original song, but it was renamed at first Harlem contro Manhattan (Harlem vs Manhattan) and then Il mio amico Arnold (My friend Arnold).

Wow! Thanks for the links! These definitely feel strange to American eyes (or at least this American's eyes). The intro with the freeze frames... why did they do that?

:lol: I'm laughing because a fellow member of this board is bothered by the fact that "every single event" is in the cafeteria, lol (but he loves the show!).

YEP! I'm not saying I don't love the cafeteria, but it's like they forgot, for a while, that there should be other settings at a school: classrooms, faculty offices, other students' rooms, gyms, etc.


I love the cafeteria too! I love the layout, the architecture, and the color: I call it "Eastland Yellow", that beautiful pale soft yellow, and I would love to have rooms that color in my own home. :)

*pictures '80s living in a home reminiscent of the Eastland Cafeteria, with pale yellow walls and an arch in the living room... and a vending machine in the room on the right* :lol:

It was weird because the fol girls visited her on ds.

Yes, but never the full crew! So Nancy and Sue Ann sadly never got to visit Kimberly... :(

Hi! Kelly was a fake Jo :lol::lol:, I don't like here. I dont' care for Pippa too.

Kelly was definitely a fake Jo. I don't know why the writers kept foisting these new characters on us.

Wow! Thanks for the links! These definitely feel strange to American eyes (or at least this American's eyes). The intro with the freeze frames... why did they do that?

It's strange for me too. The original opening is better

Hey, Lorimar. I.Q. is my favourite episode of the first season. I like Sue Ann also, she was the only lost girl to have a role in the first 13 episodes.

Well, she was the most featured one, for sure, as she was one of the "main characters" of that first season. You did mention Molly had her 1 episode, But Cindy did get the first episode all about her, and she shared "Running" with Sue Ann.

Yes. I said that Cindy, following Sue Ann, was another Lost Girl used during the season.

Oh wow FFI, how neat to see those! Thanks for sharing! (so Lorimar, are ya digging these?? lol)

That first song sounds like a 1980s science fiction Nintendo game! :lol:


Wow! Thanks for the links! These definitely feel strange to American eyes (or at least this American's eyes). The intro with the freeze frames... why did they do that?

Well, I don't think they did do that. Because those freezes keep happening at the same time intervals all throughout, my belief is that it's the video transfer/upload that freezes up, and not the actual opening.

By the way, in the second one, I LOVED getting to see a few moments from the show after everyone's introduced! Tootie opening the door to alert us to the pig on the bus, Mrs. Garrett affectionately playing with Cindy's hair in the mirror, Natalie and Tootie gambling---that was awesome! :cool:

This is a promo. Notice the original closing theme

I forgot it. The Facts of Life Reunion was renamed Quattro amiche, nuovi amori (Four friends, new loves)

Wow those are really.... strange!! Whats even more strange is that the second theme appears to be used for a season 2 episode, but has the season 1 cast in the intro!!!

Kelly was definitely a fake Jo. I don't know why the writers kept foisting these new characters on us.

Kelly was a weirdo who had some kind of creepy obsession for Jo. I couldn't stand Kelly.

Wow those are really.... strange!! Whats even more strange is that the second theme appears to be used for a season 2 episode, but has the season 1 cast in the intro!!!

Nicely spotted, Lorimar! We see the large S1 cast, then Blair walks into the cafeteria kitchen, where Nat and Jo are standing. What's the dorm opening doing with that episode? Wouldn't Italian viewers be puzzled?

I'm still shocked by the poor choice of freeze frames. Sure, freeze frames were overused in the 1980s, but to freeze frame on this?! :rofl:
Thanks for sharing these videos with us, FFI! They are fascinating!

Kelly was a weirdo who had some kind of creepy obsession for Jo. I couldn't stand Kelly.

I agree that Kelly repeatedly seemed obsessed with Jo. It was odd. :lol:

freeze frames were overused in the 1980s

Where? :confused:

I agree that Kelly repeatedly seemed obsessed with Jo. It was odd. :lol:
"If you think seeming obsessed with Jo is odd, you shoulda seen this board 17 years ago! :groucho "

Where? :confused:

On nearly every early '80s drama and sitcom.

For example, many episodes of The Love Boat ended with everyone laughing, and frozen in a freeze frame. :lol:

"If you think seeming obsessed with Jo is odd, you shoulda seen this board 17 years ago! :groucho "
:lol:

I need examples of sitcoms. I LOVE '80s sitcoms, and I can't think of any that used freeze frames! :lol: ;)

Well, wait---"Designing Women" did some...maybe they did all the time? I never thought about it before, but they did use freeze frame endings. But I can't say they were "overused" because I can't think of any other sitcoms they were used on, lol.

Oh, wait.

They were used on FOL! :lol: I never really thought about it! But not in season 1. And maybe not in the post-Edna years?

Okay, and "Who's the Boss?" used them.

But "Golden Girls" didn't use them. "Mr. Belvedere" didn't use them. My beloved "Mama's Family" didn't use them. I don't think "Empty Nest" or "Amen" used them. "227" I think may have used them, but I haven't watched it in a while.

Anyway, why put down freeze frames? They're awesome! My soap I used to watch started using freeze frames circa 1986 or '7, and did for every episode up until, like, '97 or so. And boy, if you wanna talk about effective freeze frames, use 'em on a soap! :lol: Sometimes poignant, sometimes suspenseful, sometimes climactic! I was so glad that some of my favorite eras of the show were in the freeze frame time frame. :) (no pun intended, ha)

:lol:

I still remember how someone had the ignorant audacity to post this poll circa 2002:

"Who's your favorite character besides Jo?"

:rolleyes:

Well, I posted that I couldn't vote in the poll, because Jo was not my favorite character to begin with. A few others of us sneaking our way around the Nancy McKeon Brigade posted similar sentiments.

Freeze frames can be effective, but they were overused in the late 1970s and early 1980s. They were so overused that they became iconic of that era, like jump scares in today's horror films.

You've given some examples, above, but there are thousands of other examples of freeze frames in 1980s media.

Probably they did that because season 1 and 2 came here in Italy together. Italians confused :D:D

I'm still shocked by the poor choice of freeze frames. Sure, freeze frames were overused in the 1980s, but to freeze frame on this?! :rofl:

Whaaat? :D:D. Jo was funny,I like her and all but she's not my favorite character

Whaaat? :D:D. Jo was funny,I like her and all but she's not my favorite character

Exactly. I'm sure she's many people's favorite, but not to the exclusion of so many other characters.

Probably they did that because season 1 and 2 came here in Italy together. Italians confused :D:D

Ah.... still, it's very odd. They would have had to splice in the Season One intro onto the Season Two episodes.

Exactly. I'm sure she's many people's favorite, but not to the exclusion of so many other characters.

Come on, Retro...let's go put a flower in your hair. :loveya:

Ciao, FOL-FAN-ITA! :wave:

Look! I'm in Italy!

Okay, it's really the Italy pavilion at Walt Disney World's EPCOT Center's "World Showcase" park in Florida, America. :lol: It features 11 different countries from around the world. Do you think it looks like I'm in Italy? :)

Wow! Thanks for sharing these, '80s! This must have been prior to 1994: the passport says "EPCOT Center".

I save, document, and archive everything---I'm like the Julie Pie of the family. :lol:

Well, it was actually after 1994, so I guess they must have been using these printed up passports until they ran out. :lol:

I remember in 2006, well before Disney-MGM was rebranded as Disney's Hollywood Studios in 2008, we were already passing out maps that said Disney Studios.
