We know that the Facts of Life batted .000 when it came to spinoffs. None even made it to the air on their own show. Out of all the spinoff attempts, which would you have liked to have made it to it's own series?

First choice: "Jo's Cousin"

Interesting question! My answer is Jo's Cousin and Big Apple Blues, the same as 80's. I don't think Brian and Sylvia were strong enough to have their own show. The two episodes revolving around the military school..the spin off would have been a clone of Fol but with male characters. I think the same about the spin-off with Blair and Jo at Langley and the Eastland spin-off, though it would have been interesting watching Blair as the new Mrs Garrett

I would have watched the Eastland spin-off, but wouldn't have bothered with the David Spade thing.

Same here: i would have loved to see BLAIR as the new MRS G!
It would have been hilarious, cos out of the core of 4 she was the most unlikely (being the 'spoiled' and 'difficult') one to handle during their teenage years.;)
