I liked both these episodes. BTW I timed "Sisters" and it clocked in at 19 minutes total. It did have a feeling of scenes being cut making the story feel rushed. I now want to see the unedited episode for that because it was a good one.

"The Last Drive In" was a lot of fun. The best was Blair fighting the bully and unwittingly knocking her out. :lol::lol:

Tootie is a huge Bette Davis fan, thinks "Baby Jane" is her best film, wants to be an actress herself...and has never seen the film? I can't believe it. Surely she would've rented it by now! :eek:

Boy that drive in sure was crowded for Natalie got almost 400 signatures!

Did they say that was Mrs. G's beetle that was stolen?! Did they ever find it?! Was Mrs. G pissed when she got home?! It left me hanging!! :lol::lol:

"Sisters" was good too and I was hoping the parents would have gotten serious with each other. I don't know why the writers backed off at the last minute. Why not have Blair & Jo become step-sisters? I think it's nice to know they'd be connected forever like that!! :)

As I said earlier, the editing made that episode feel rushed. There's surely a scene that was snipped for the endless Antenna TV Medicare commercials!:mad::mad:

My favorite line was Monica about her mink: "It's not to wear. It's to carry!" :rofl: She's definitely Blair's mother!! :)

Tootie is a huge Bette Davis fan, thinks "Baby Jane" is her best film, wants to be an actress herself...and has never seen the film? I can't believe it. Surely she would've rented it by now! :eek:

Yeah, that was odd. Why not just say something like she's seen it several times?

It would have been very cool, IMO, too, but by this era, the show wasn't about changing the dynamics. Having Blair and Jo become sisters would have meant that Jo would have suddenly come into a lot of money, her father marrying into money.

Well, that would have changed the premise of the show completely. We could have had entire episodes where Jo is confronted with the fact that her family now has money.

I remember when Cheers was nearing the end of its run. The producers wanted to have Sam and Diane marry, at the end. NBC didn't want that to happen because they felt it would have changed the dynamic of the series, and somehow harmed sales in syndication.

So runtimes have gone down in syndication since the USA / N@N days. Both The Last Drive In and Sisters are 24 minutes and 49 seconds on the DVD release.

The police found the beetle. Only damage was to the windshield wipers as they were in the glove compartment.

I love that Blair scene where she finds out she knocked her out she starts acting all tough with a popcorn bucket on her head :lol:


My favorite line was Monica about her mink: "It's not to wear. It's to carry!" :rofl: She's definitely Blair's mother!! :)

My favorite Monica line is at the beginning. She asks Jo what can she do to help and Jo says right now tarts. Monica says, "I'm on my way. How many should I buy?" :lol:

I'm glad you like the episodes. They're two of my favorites.

Okay "Mr. Bradley"! :lol: ;) (you'll see why down the road, lol)

Hmm, maybe videostores hadn't hit Peekskill yet? :lol:


Boy that drive in sure was crowded for Natalie got almost 400 signatures!

Haha! And so sweet about the pizza clock. :) Now if only they'd had her put it up in her room after this episode!


Did they say that was Mrs. G's beetle that was stolen?! Did they ever find it?! Was Mrs. G pissed when she got home?! It left me hanging!! :lol::lol:

I don't even remember!


"Sisters" was good too

Maybe, but I feel it's a few seasons too late. I think this story would have been much more effective in season 2 or 3, back when Blair and Jo really had more major stumbling blocks with each other and would have HAAAAATED the prospect of being sisters, lol. This late in the series, when they know each other so well and have a solid root of long-standing friendship, it just doesn't feel the same to me.


My favorite line was Monica about her mink: "It's not to wear. It's to carry!" :rofl: She's definitely Blair's mother!! :)

:lol: I love how "Blair's mom" she is! :)

Yeah, that was odd. Why not just say something like she's seen it several times?

Had she said that instead I wouldn't have felt bad for her missing all those big chunks of the film at the concession stand complaining how she's standing at the concession stand and missing the film. :lol:

Well, that would have changed the premise of the show completely. We could have had entire episodes where Jo is confronted with the fact that her family now has money.

I don't think it would've changed the dynamics all that much. Jo was 20 by then wasn't she? An adult so the money wouldn't affect her all that much. She was on her own pretty much at that point and not being supported by anyone anymore.
I think she'd have very minimal attachment to the money. Her father would be basking in it, but I think Jo wouldn't have really changed at all from the marriage.

So runtimes have gone down in syndication since the USA / N@N days. Both The Last Drive In and Sisters are 24 minutes and 49 seconds on the DVD release.


Almost 6 MINUTES of scenes! Holy crap! I wonder what they were now? Did we see them go out to dinner with the parents in "Sisters"? I want those dvd's now more than ever. It will probably look like a whole new show. :lol:

The police found the beetle. Only damage was to the windshield wipers as they were in the glove compartment.

That scene was definitely cut! :(



I love that Blair scene where she finds out she knocked her out she starts acting all tough with a popcorn bucket on her head :lol:

She was funny in this scene! Originally I was thinking, just get Jo to pop her in the mouth, but having Blair deal with it on her own was much funnier! :lol:

Yes, both were so good, I hardly even noticed the absence of Mrs. G. That right there is a good sign!

Okay "Mr. Bradley"! :lol: ;) (you'll see why down the road, lol)

I don't get it. :confused::confused:




The straws! THE STRAWS!!

It was visually funny, but made Blair look like a real ditz! Just what the hell was she trying to accomplish doing that?! :lol:





Hmm, maybe videostores hadn't hit Peekskill yet? :lol:

By 1985 they were ALL over the place. OMG they were popping up like mushrooms everywhere. It wasn't until the early 90's when EVIL Blockbuster came along and swallowed up all those neat little mom & pop video stores. :(




! And so sweet about the pizza clock. :) Now if only they'd had her put it up in her room after this episode!


That would've been cool. But of course we never see that clock again. She probably dumped it in the trash on her way out of the drive in. :lol::lol:

That would have been a cool background story to have running throughout the series. And towards the end of the run, we see them marry. I would've loved that.

:lol: I love how "Blair's mom" she is! :)

Do we see her a lot throughout the series? I like her. :)

Almost 6 MINUTES of scenes! Holy crap! I wonder what they were now? Did we see them go out to dinner with the parents in "Sisters"? I want those dvd's now more than ever. It will probably look like a whole new show. :lol:

It will. I know "Mama's Family" like the back of my hand (even more than this show) and when the MF box set came out 7 years ago, I was stunned by how it felt like a new show. There I was, watching those original NBC episodes, and at times ENTIRE TWO-MINUTE SCENES that had been on the cutting room floor for 30 years were suddenly "sewn" back in. It made it seem more like a production divided into definite "acts" that way. And then still other snippets and half-minutes here and there throughout the rest of those episodes as well, on top of those 2-minute scenes.

TGFDVD! lol props:

I don't get it. :confused::confused:

You're not supposed to! Wait until you watch season 1. :) (NO SPOILERS fellow posters, please! :lol:)

I don't know and I don't care, it's one of the funniest moments in the entire series! :rofl:

BLAIR AND JO?!? :eek:

I thought you were talking about them until I read that last part! :lol:


Do we see her a lot throughout the series? I like her. :)

I do too; she's so glamorous and likable! :) You don't see her "a lot", but compared to some of the other parents, you do get to see her more than most, considering. I believe we see Charlie the most, and then Monica.

The damn set is up to $100 bucks on Amazon now so it's gonna be a while before I get the uncut episodes. They're price gouging for sure knowing people want comfort television in these times! Shame on them! :mad:

BLAIR AND JO?!? :eek:

I thought you were talking about them until I read that last part! :lol:

Of course not! It was obvious I was talking about the parents marrying since that was the subject of the episode. How on earth could you have thought I was talking about Blair & Jo marrying! OMG.

That would never have worked out anyway. :lol::lol::lol:

Wait, which show? FOL? You don't have to get the box set, you can get the separate ones. :) But I understand if you wanna wait.

In local news, I GET TO GO OUTSIDE TONIGHT!! :woohoo: I've been holed up for nearly THREE DAYS 'cause it hasn't been quiiiiiiite warm enough to get out yet. But tonight FINALLY it's around 70, and I can get out to my favorite local nature preserve for a sunset walk and nature photo shoot! :clap: :loveya:

I just remembered though I need to shave first in case I see any other humans---I haven't shaved in days! :lol:

Of course not! It was obvious I was talking about the parents marrying since that was the subject of the episode. How on earth could you have thought I was talking about Blair & Jo marrying! OMG.

Work with me here, cfr! :lol:

You said:

"That would have been a cool background story to have running throughout the series"

And that was after I had talked about how I would have preferred it earlier in the series for the Blair/Jo reasons I mentioned, so when you said that "That would have been a cool background story to have running throughout the series", I thought you were still talking about Blair and Jo---a background story of, 'will they become family'?

That's how I came to read your marriage comment wrong. :lol: (of course then I realized you were NOT talking about Blair/Jo!)

It is like a whole new show with the deleted scenes. That's why I don't think old shows should be in syndication anymore. In their original broadcast they were up to 25 minutes or longer. A lot of Maude's episodes run over 26 minutes. How is 19 minutes out of a 26 minute show going to make sense when watching? If syndication can't allow more time to be shown of an episode for viewers to get sense of what they're watching, then they need to air something else. Season 3 of The Facts of Life is over 25 minutes. That is over 6 minutes being cut that season in syndication. And season 3 is a fan favorite.

By 1985 they were ALL over the place. OMG they were popping up like mushrooms everywhere. It wasn't until the early 90's when EVIL Blockbuster came along and swallowed up all those neat little mom & pop video stores. :(


Oh, man. Your comment really took me back, CFR!

Even my little town had a video store, Fibber McGee's, which opened in the mid-1980s. We were so excited! Now we could rent movies we'd previously only been able to see when they were in theaters or on television. It was a complete game changer.

My family spent money every week on videos. It became a weekend thing, usually with pizza. That is when I first saw The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, and Legend (I first saw The Neverending Story and Return to Oz in the theater), so three of the five most important films in my childhood were due to that little mom and pop video store. Crazy to think about. :lol:

And they were better than the big chains because they always stocked obscure films that you couldn't get in the big stores. By the mid 80's they were all over where I lived (Bronx) You could find one on almost every other block and they were mostly family run stores with nice people behind the counters.

Renting videos was an event then! And a VCR cost $250! For the pop up top loaders! :lol: Oh what great memories!

Not only were the people great, you could ask them for recommendations, or describe a film and they would know the name of the movie.

In my town, you could also rent video games from them, which was cool because you didn't want to buy a game for $50.00 and then find out it sucked. I loved Super Mario Bros, but was so glad I had only rented Super Mario Bros 2. Then I rented 3, and loved it so much I bought it.

I never had a pop-up top loader; we were always broke, so we got the second generation with the slot in the front.

Remember when you had to make sure to rewind your tape, or you'd be charged extra? :lol:

I don't know if that makes you rich or old!! :rofl:

Mine too!

My very first video game purchase was a "Wizards & Warriors" NES cartridge from---get this---a BAKERY/video game store!! No funnin'! :lol:

Oh man, if only Natalie had run a "Nat's NES" counter at Edna's Edibles! :lol:


which was cool because you didn't want to buy a game for $50.00 and then find out it sucked. I loved Super Mario Bros, but was so glad I had only rented Super Mario Bros 2.

No Doki Doki Panic for Retro?? :eek: :lol:

Daaaaang! Where'd you rent videos, Harold J. Crocker's?? :rofl:

I don't know if that makes you rich or old!! :rofl:

I wasn't rich that's for sure. I had the top loader in my bedroom and i'm trying to remember how I got it. Probably either for Christmas or I paid for it with my paper route. But yeah, those top loaders were huge dinosaurs that took up so much space! :lol:

And yeah Retro, I remember you had to rewind those damn tapes or pay a fee. How I hated to get a movie home all excited only to find it not rewound! :lol:

Oh, the woes! :lol:

Mine too!

My very first video game purchase was a "Wizards & Warriors" NES cartridge from---get this---a BAKERY/video game store!! No funnin'! :lol:

Haha! That sounds odd, but I believe it. In that era, store owners were trying anything.

I never rented "Wizards & Warriors", but I LOVED "Zelda" and "Ultima".


Oh man, if only Natalie had run a "Nat's NES" counter at Edna's Edibles! :lol:

See, a video store would have been so much better than OOH. :lol: At least the girls would have known what they were selling! And it would have given Andy a reason to hang around.


No Doki Doki Panic for Retro?? :eek: :lol:


NO. And since we didn't have the Internet, I had no idea why that game was so weird and off-franchise. :lol:


Daaaaang! Where'd you rent videos, Harold J. Crocker's?? :rofl:

Come to think of it, I did wonder why that manic, gray-haired guy would periodically come out from the back, making sure the employees charged for rewinding, and muttering something about William Shakespeare… ;)

Haha! That sounds odd, but I believe it. In that era, store owners were trying anything.


Yup, I even got it before I had a NES to play it on! :lol: I think my mom hinted maybe Santa was thinking about one that year? And W&W looked the most interesting to me from the cartridge and booklet, so I chose that one---and I LOVED it---I still do! I love that, and the sequel "Ironsword: Wizards & Warriors II", but the 3rd one's much too difficult and not as fun :-\ - "Wizards & Warriors III".


I never rented "Wizards & Warriors", but I LOVED "Zelda" and "Ultima".

I have "Zelda", but I've only toyed with the first "few minutes" of it. But I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE that theme music!! :loveya:

Definitely!

No. That game is an abomination to the Mario legacy. Just a cheap spin-off made to make a buck on the franchise.

No. That game is an abomination to the Mario legacy. Just a cheap spin-off made to make a buck on the franchise.

No no, not as a Mario game, but just as its own game---so "Doki Doki Panic" but just happens to have Mario characters in it. You don't enjoy anything about the gameplay at all??

And have you ever played the true Super Mario Bros. 2? The one they didn't release in America 'cause they thought it was too difficult for American kids?

I remember getting Super Mario 2 when it came out, and my roommate commented how it was cool that they weren’t just doing a rehash of the first one and were trying something new. Little did we know.

All these years later, I still have a soft spot for it (though nothing will ever top Super Mario Bros 3, for me). I did play the “real” Super Mario 2 a few years later and thought it was boring. More of the same, only harder.

:yeahthat

I'm surprised Retro is so passionately against it.


I did play the “real” Super Mario 2 a few years later and thought it was boring. More of the same, only harder.

I have it since it's included on the "Super Mario All Stars" cartridge. It's fun in that it's like "Oh, wow! The real Super Mario 2 that they wouldn't release in the US! At last!" but yeah, same exact DNA makeup, if you will. Still, it is a little fun because it's more challenging and a bit of differences (like you can pick Luigi to play, and his jump is different, etc.)

nothing will ever top Super Mario Bros 3, for me

I completely agree. All the classic feel of SMB 1, but with those awesome whistles, the amazing levels, the two-player craziness, and the ability to fall behind white objects. :wave:

The map screens, plus the ability to battle for control of the map screens, were great. My brother and I had a lot of fun battling over who got to do each level.

The map screens, plus the ability to battle for control of the map screens, were great. My brother and I had a lot of fun battling over who got to do each level.

Yeah, my friend and I were the same way (I always played Luigi, he always played Mario).

We loved warping through levels: we always skipped World 7, because that Pipe World was really challenging, and went straight to World 8.

In Doki Doki Panic, which was tweaked to be "Super Mario Bros. 2" for American gamers, I LOVED Luigi's high, suspended jumps with his flippy feet, and, of course, Princess Toadstool's FLOATING! :eek: :loveya:

Yes! I lived next to a gas station that turned into one around 1985. It was so cool at the time. But, we didn't have a VCR until 1990. We had HBO, though.

HBO in those early days of cable was a huge thing and it came with a giant cable box to set on top of the TV. And after midnight they'd show "adult movies" on them, but parents could scramble the channels with some key to block it that would make the screen be all squiggly with warped pictures and lines.

I remember nights me and my brother would quietly sneak downstairs and turn on the TV to watch with the sound off and tune into the squiggly lines.

"Look! There's a NIPPLE!" :lol::lol::lol:

Well, Blair probably started out as an only child, then possiby had half-siblings and step-siblings (but I really, REALLY dislike that nun episode).

But where do you assuming??

Tootie has 2 brothers
Natalie MAY have one non-biological sister
Nancy MAY have a brother and possibly more siblings
Molly has a brother IF you consider the DS season 2 episode "The Slumber Party" canon to FOL, but it SEEMS like she's an only child in the FOL episode "Molly's Holiday".

So see?? It's not all black and white with Eastland families! :lol:

WOW!!!

Oooh a twist!!!

YOU'RE cfr's brother?!?!


Not as far as I know. However, my dad did "get around" a lot back then, so who knows? Maybe someday, CFR and I will discover we're brothers, and it will be a FOL "Sisters"-type situation. :lol:

You just had to open your big mouth! Stay out of my life! :mad::mad::mad::mad:

You look like that? Man, I never expected THAT! I mean, at least lose the kerchief! :lol:

No...I couldn't find a grouchy old lady emoji to be the opposite of the cranky old man one that 80's uses for me. :lol:

There's no old lady emojis here....only men and that's sexist. Wouldn't Molly agree?

Molly would definitely agree.

:lol:

Hopefully she didnt disappear like Natalies

Molly would definitely agree.

80's seems to have a stockpile of emojis...i'm sure he'll come up with an old lady one quick to make Molly happy. :lol:

We still need a detail about YOU, Lorimar!

Haha well I'm an only child, and as you all know quite a bit younger than some of you guys ;)

Haha well I'm an only child, and as you all know quite a bit younger than some of you guys ;)

Sure, you say now you're an only child, but what about two seasons from now? You'll suddenly have a brother who drinks, and a sister who wants to become a nun. I know how these things work, mister! :lol:

A clutch is for chickens lol. I don't know if you can have a clutch of turtles. :lol:

Are you sure?? I think "clutch" sounds much more sea turtle-ish than chicken-ish! lol

WAIT:

[Googles]

Turns out we're both right!

"A clutch of eggs is the group of eggs produced by birds, amphibians, or reptiles, often at a single time, particularly those laid in a nest"

But I would never think to call chicken eggs "clutches"! :lol:

Then again, I LOVE nature shows (whoa, another '80sSitcoms character detail!), and many of them cover the whole sea turtle egg-laying/hatching/ocean-dashing thing, but none of them talk about "chickens", lol.


How much older is the sister? Is she like me and looks like this? :beeutiful

:lol::lol::lol:

:rofl:

Nope! She's younger than you! :lol:

:D

Man, put some butter on you, you're on a Facts "roll" tonight! :rofl:

Now you're catchin' on, cfr! You'll be a season 1 expert yet! :clap:

We all want Molly happy!!

Hi cfr! 🧓

He better not!! :mad:

(No offense to nuns, I just really, really, really dislike that episode!)

Ducks too. I have a flock of wild ducks that live out back and lay clutches of eggs all the time, but they never get to hatch because the crows come and peck and slurp all the yellow gooey protein out before they can become baby duckies. It's kind of terrifying yet fascinating to witness. :eek:

👵

Hi cfr! 🧓

:wave:

Where are you getting those teeny tiny emojis from? A playskool computer? :lol: They're so small!

Y-you WHAT?! You have DUCKS?? That "live out back"??

First you have a brother. THEN you're a horror fan. NOW you've got WILD DUCKS OUT BACK.

How many more details are there about your character?? :lol: :crazy:

Oh no! :eek:

Well, don't you do anything to help the ducks?? Can't you RUN OUT BACK real fast and scream "FLYMAN!! FLYMAN!!"??

Like, "Fly, man!!", but it also doubles as a FOL quote! :rofl:

That's sad---I want ducklings to come about! :loveya: (I love ducks!)

Where are you getting those teeny tiny emojis from? A playskool computer? :lol: They're so small!

:lol:

Nope, just an emoji website! But they're basically to use on social media sites.

🦆

^---Oh wow! You can "SUPER-SIZE" 'em! :rofl:

It's a big pond with ducks everywhere. But there's this one flock that made their permanent home right behind my house. All because my neighbor constantly fed them bread when they were ducklings so they think this is their home now. :lol:
And of course she moves away but the ducks are left for me to feed now! I love ducks too....but it's a good thing the crows eat the eggs...it controls their population. This is FL and ducks are EVERYWHERE!! <insert duck emoji here> :lol:

Man, put some butter on you, you're on a Facts "roll" tonight! :rofl:

She looks like Mrs. Claus! :lol:

"Feed us Daddy!" 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆

But Retro! You didn't "de-HUGE" it first! :lol:

Big ducks, big rolls, right?

Besides, that expression on her face is priceless, and you can't see it as well in a smaller size.

She's thinking "Kill. Me. Now."

Oh, yay cfr and the duckies! :clap:

I love sisters. I feel like this is one of the episodes Jo and Blair finally realize their friendship is real. Season 6 can be found in full on Crackle and the Roku Channel (they are both free) and they seem to be the 24 minute versions. Roku has Seasons 3,4,5&6 and Crackle has 6&7. Antenna TV is on season 6 but I think they missed an episode or two. It’s a scrounge to find the episodes aside from the DVD box set.

Time for some chicken gumbo!!

Hey Folfan!

Yeah, "Sisters" is definitely one of the best episodes of the sixth season. The Blair/Jo friendship feels very real.
