I just watched The Unauthorized Story so I can say that it isn't a good documentary. Why?

Nothing about:
- The castings of the actors
- The original premise of the series (45 minutes)
- Crossovers between DS, HL and FOL
- Nedra Volz's casting and departure at the end of the fourth season
- Arnold replaced by Tootie during season 4
- Janet Jackson
- Mary Jo Catlett's casting. She was absent
- Dixie Carter and Danny Cooksey's casting. They were just there
- Clashes between Carter and Coleman
- Plato who approached the producers of the show to include her pregnancy
- Mary Ann Mobley and Carter's departure
- Notable guest appearences
- Very special episodes

I also found some errors:
- Charlotte Rae immediately agrees to leave at the end of the first season. Wrong! Rae didn't want to leave a hit series so she was told that if the spin-off was cancelled she could come back. So Mrs. Garrett leaves during the second season. Ah, Rae had red hair, not brown
- Nedra Volz was just there and she was on the show also during the sixth season. Wrong! She left without any explanation at the end of the fourth season

I know it lasts an hour or so but it could have been better. And you? What do you think about it?

P.S I'm sorry for my bad English :lol:

I thought it was horrible fluff. The producers have no idea how to make a documentary film. It was embarrassing bad.
