WOW Lorsie, fantastic!! Thanks for finding!! :yourock:

He must have just been the happiest gay fan-boy during this interview!

Interesting, there's a photo of Diane Chambers behind his couch! lol

I love how he gave Lisa's blow drying hair in the opening credits a shout-out! :lol:

Wow, what a casual interview---the dude is in his bare feet on his couch right beside Lisa Freaking Whelchel! :lol:

I love how Lisa says the '70s Mouseketeers were referred to as "the forgotten mice" :lol:

I love how they joked about her accent, lol "slide right back in!" :lol:

Hmm, regarding Lisa refusing to let Blair lose her virginity yet Mindy volunteering for Natalie to, I wonder if there was any awkwardness between Lisa and Mindy regarding that at the time? Well, regardless, at least they're still "sisters", as all of the core four are. :)

Oo, it was very interesting to hear about Lisa's respectful take on the infamous Joan Rivers incident.

Awww, Nancy McKeon was in the hospital every time Lisa had her new babies. :loveya:

YES THEY DOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:clap: :clap: :clap:

SO cool!! Thank goodness he brought up "lesbian", or they may not have brought her up!

The only ones they said by name are "Blair", "Jo", "Natalie", "Cindy", and "Mrs. Garrett"!

Christianity can really come off as off-putting depending on viewpoints that are projected by certain people. It's very nice to hear Lisa talk about open acceptance of everyone. And note she caught herself saying "choose" and then was careful to kind of retract that.

Okay, when the dude said "After you did 'The Facts of Life' " I'm like, eh, interview's done for me. :lol: (but I still watched since it was just a handful of minutes)

Haha, yep, in her "real actress" form, "Shelley Long"! lol

Yup! Cindy tripped Tootie so she'd get her name said instead! :lol:

That was hilarious!


Wow, what a casual interview---the dude is in his bare feet on his couch right beside Lisa Freaking Whelchel! :lol:

Yeah, I never would have done that. If I ever meet a FOL cast member on my couch, you better believe I'll be wearing shoes and socks! :lol:


I love how Lisa says the '70s Mouseketeers were referred to as "the forgotten mice" :lol:

At least she knows what it's like to be a Lost... MOUSE! :lol:


Hmm, regarding Lisa refusing to let Blair lose her virginity yet Mindy volunteering for Natalie to, I wonder if there was any awkwardness between Lisa and Mindy regarding that at the time? Well, regardless, at least they're still "sisters", as all of the core four are. :)

What I hope is that, by Season Nine, they were all so close after so many years that it just didn't matter to them.


Oo, it was very interesting to hear about Lisa's respectful take on the infamous Joan Rivers incident.

Yeah, I loved this part, for so many reasons. Not just her respectful take on Joan's job as a comedian, but, as always, how she carefully navigates through talking about what the producers wanted of her character.


Awww, Nancy McKeon was in the hospital every time Lisa had her new babies. :loveya:


Yep: definitely an "awwww" moment.


SO cool!! Thank goodness he brought up "lesbian", or they may not have brought her up!

The only ones they said by name are "Blair", "Jo", "Natalie", "Cindy", and "Mrs. Garrett"!

My heart leaped when they mentioned Cindy! I wish they would have discussed her further, but even the brief mention was nice.

:lol: Yeah, I was like, "WHOA, dude, you are comfortable with being SUPER casual here!" lol

Reminds me of the dialogue:

"They even got a dress code!"

" 'No Bare Feet' is not a dress code" hahaha


At least she knows what it's like to be a Lost... MOUSE! :lol:

:rofl:


What I hope is that, by Season Nine, they were all so close after so many years that it just didn't matter to them.

Yeah, I dunno...I mean I'm sure they didn't fight about it, I just wonder if they had any words about it. Like Mindy says in one of those umpteen (ha) FOL documentaries, "Okay, one of these girls had to get laid!", and, after Lisa unprofessionally refused, "I said, 'I'll do it!' ", and her take on Lisa over that incident, "Okay, there's you as a person, and then there's you as an actress." I'm just glad it wasn't friendship-ending or anything.


My heart leaped when they mentioned Cindy!

Mine too! I'm sure if Lorsie hadn't have alerted me ahead of time, I would have gasped! :lol:


I wish they would have discussed her further, but even the brief mention was nice.

SO nice! I LOVE that he referenced her by name, and then Lisa acknowledged her character by repeating her name! She didn't have to say "Cindy" at all, she could have just said, "yes", or "that's right", but she said "Cindy" first! I love that! :loveya:

This interview is "good stuff, Maynard"! :rofl:

I could definitely see it being a difficulty between them, but I'm glad they remained close.

:lol:

I felt the same when, in one interview, she credited Julie Piekarski's posterior for creating the "Blair" persona. :lol:

I wonder what Lisa thinks of Season 1 when we got Loose Blair or Slutty Blair (but still a Blair with a heart of gold)?

That's the BLAIR i prefer: pilot and season 1, but i might be in the minority here since most people (not you guys) believe FOL started from season 2 onward, as if season 1 'Lost girls' never existed.......:wazzup:wazzup:wazzup

Lisa didn't see her cast mates for almost a decade after the Facts of Life ended. She went and got married and had 3 kids. The time away from her cast mates probably allowed any tensions (of which it sounded like there was some between Mindy and Lisa at the end of the series) to heal.

It sounds like that's his impression, but no evidence of it.
