View Full Version : Wonder why out of the 4 girls during the 1980-81 season, Jo was the only one not to
TVFactFan 07-02-2020, 01:14 AM appear on Different Strokes?
During the 1980-81 season, Tootie appeared in the first 2 eps of DS that season called Bank Job and Natalie and Blair appeared together in the episode the Older Woman. But Jo didnt appear on DS at all that season. Maybe it was because she didnt know Kimberly?
80s Dude 07-02-2020, 08:17 AM Don't know. Jo did appear with Arnold (briefly) and Willis on the Facts of Life. In fact, she hung out with Willis the most on the Zaa Zaa Gabor episode.
Nancy M. did appear with Dana Plato in a movie together.
80s Dude 07-02-2020, 08:17 AM Perhaps Nancy M. was not "All American" enough.
FOL-FAN-ITA 07-02-2020, 08:57 AM I don't know the exact reason. Probably she didn't know Kimberly very well like the other girls.
I wonder why Charlotte Rae never appeared on Strokes with the girls. Her only guest appearence was several years after her departure

80s Dude 07-02-2020, 11:50 AM what episode is this, I never in my life saw arnold around Jo
The New Girl, Part 1. Arnold introduces Jo to Tootie as "Hello, new roommate" and then disappears with Tootie.

You're right about that: CHARLOTTE RAE was never seen on DS with the FOL cast (except during the pilot 'The girls school',but she didn't really know them yet):wasntme::wasntme::wasntme::wasntme::wasntme::wasntme::wasntme:

Yeah but TGS was an episode of DS. I would have liked one or two guest appearences, after all, the Drummonds really cared about Mrs. Garrett
TVFactFan 07-02-2020, 06:38 PM Now I may have to buy the DVD because I never remember seeing Jo around Arnold

Go to the 10 minute mark to see Jo and Arnold interacting.

Thanks Antenna TV cut it out
'80sSitcoms 07-02-2020, 08:37 PM Thanks Antenna TV cut it out
They cut a lot out. You should really get the DVDs. :)
TVFactFan 07-02-2020, 08:48 PM They cut a lot out. You should really get the DVDs. :)
The reason why I know they cut it out was because I never seen Arnold flirting with tootie before. And I never seen FOL on cable only local tv which is the local syndicated version
so I would have only seen it on cable or the DVD

Yeah, Jo and Kimberly never met on screen. There was no reason for Jo to visit the Drummonds, when she didn't know Kimberly, and only briefly met Willis and Arnold. There just wasn't a strong connection.

Jo hung around Willis the most of all the girls in that Zaa Zaa Gabor episode.

Of course Not alone, but as a group with Natalie and Blair and introduced as "this is our new student Jo" Now tootie appearing alone made more sense because she knew arnold and willis
RetroGuy2000 07-03-2020, 01:50 PM Jo hung around Willis the most of all the girls in that Zaa Zaa Gabor episode.
I'd estimate Willis was on camera for less than four minutes of the episode. He and Jo shot some hoops. There's no indication they formed a strong friendship. Why would Jo visit him in NYC? Just to shoot hoops? Doesn't she know other basketball players in the Bronx?

I can see Jo being invited along, but I can easily see her turning them down. If she's in NYC, she's going to want to catch up with old friends she hasn't seen since she left the Bronx.

Willis did get more airtime than Nancy O. did in Season 1.
TVFactFan 07-03-2020, 06:33 PM Jo hung around Willis the most of all the girls in that Zaa Zaa Gabor episode.
What episode is that? Damm I am learning so much
valentina warner 07-03-2020, 07:03 PM Willis did get more airtime than Nancy O. did in Season 1.
No way that WILLIS had more airtime than NANCY (he only had 4 minutes time on screen on the FOL episode as Retro pointed out) whereas NANCY had a lot more than that, even though she was a 'Wallpaper' by then end of season 1.:wazzup:wazzup:wazzup:wazzup:wazzup:wazzup:wazzup:wazzup:wazzup:wazzup

Just tootie and Mrs garrett since they was on DS the most out of the FOL crew
RetroGuy2000 07-13-2020, 03:20 AM Absolutely, Tootie should have been there.
FOL-FAN-ITA 07-13-2020, 02:48 PM Just tootie and Mrs garrett since they was on DS the most out of the FOL crew
Agree!
TVFactFan 07-13-2020, 07:02 PM Absolutely, Tootie should have been there.
Especially since she was going to go to the amusement park with the drummonds
she was like family
80s Dude 07-13-2020, 07:41 PM Especially since she was going to go to the amusement park with the drummonds

And who did Tootie pump into at the amusement park? Her old friend, Nancy O.

I agree: NANCY and BLAIR were the best looking girls in season 1!!!!present:present:present:present:present:present:present:present:
