I was watching ratings game and when tootie and natalie was talking to bob the weatherman, they asked him...........Why would we want your autograph?

He responded with "I am bob from channel 51" and I never see what tootie and natalie responded with

The scene just cuts to jo sitting on the steps. So just want to know what tootie and natalie said to BOB when he told them he was the weatherman

'Rating Games' is actually the worst episode from season 8 (i hated the way they made BLAIR look like the bad guy, and that she was stuck with the weather guy: such a weirdo!!!!), but from what i remember, i reckon TOOTIE and NATALIE just walked away from him....

It’s not a bad episode.

After the weatherman introduces himself, Natoots doesn’t recognize him so he shows them his thumbs up/thumbs down poses for good and bad weather. They just look at him like he’s nuts and then he invites them to his place to look at satellite photos; then they say “oh no” and walk away. Then they stand off to the side complaining about how such a hot guy can be a dork.

Speaking of cut scenes on the DVDs, I noticed a weird edit in “Me and Eleanor”. Natalie is telling Tootie about why she woke up in a bad mood. I remember a line about finding a dead fly on the windowsill, but the dvd cuts her off, almost mid sentence.

Any other weird cuts from the DVDs that y’all have found? Specifically past Seasons 1-3?

That line isn't from Me and Eleanor. It's from The Last Drive In. Natalie is down in the dumps because they're closing the drive in. She says that line to Jo. It's still intact on the DVD release.

I just watched this scene on my DVD and here's the full scene:

Bob: "Bob Dillingham, Channel 51, Barton College Television Station."

Cut to Natalie and Tootie

Bob: "I do the weather... here you'll recognize this." (He puts two thumbs up)

Tootie: "You do toothpaste commercials too?"

Bob: "No, that's my trademark. If the weather's gonna be good, I give it the thumbs up. Bad, thumbs down."

Natalie: "Great trademark."

Bob: "Say girls, would you like to come back to my place and see my satellite photos?"

Tootie: "Oh uh uh."

Tootie and Natalie walk away.

Tootie: "Tell me how someone that fine, could be such a jerk?"

Natalie: "Tootie, sometimes looks can be deceiving."

Two guys wearing propeller caps walk in.

Natalie: "And other times they're not."

Cut to Jo on the stairs.

It was a bad edit by Antenna TV. There were a lot of good jokes and conversation there. Shame on them! Maybe they cut it out because the come back to my place to see my satellite photos line was a sexual innuendo or something? I have no idea.

Oh! Right! But Natalie is giving a similar speech in “Me and Eleanor” (Jane Pauley wasn’t on the Today Show...) and she does get cut off mid-sentence.

I can spot an edit from a mile away and knew something was odd because it cut away in the middle of their conversation

That's not a DVD edit though. That's the original broadcast version. When watching that scene, Natalie gets cut off with the word "and". Tootie then responds, "and now?" I think whoever edited the episode before airing wanted the viewers to interrupt that Tootie was cutting her off. Natalie was rambling nonsense in that scene to justify why she suddenly no longer hates Tootie's play.

Oh, thanks! It’s such an awkward cut it’s hard to tell.

Hi Valentina :wave: I feel like I've discussed this show to death so I'm onto other boards. I love The Facts of Life and appreciate it for what it is. I just think I've beaten my opinion to death in the.......twenty years (we don't need to focus on that number :lol: ) I've been on these boards. I'll always be around to help fellow fans with episode questions since I have them memorized :)

BTW Valentina, cfr starts the Scream movie series next week. It would be nice to have you over on the movie board since you're a Scream fan like me :)

Hello again Christopher and sorry for the delay!

I will definitely have a peak on the SCREAM site, but how can i get into it? Can you possibly send me the link so i can click on it?

I understand how you'd feel you've discussed FOL to death if you've been on this site so long: i for once haven't, and so i still have the need to speak up my opinion from time to time (no show has ever attracted me as much as FOL i have to say!).
I watch an episode or 2 every night if that gives you an idea how much i love FOL (although right now i'm on season 1 for a change ha ha!).

Take care, and speak to you on the SCREAM site!

Valentine, click this link (https://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?t=394860). CFR already started the Scream discussion thread on the movie board.

Well some of the discussion that's been created in recent weeks here are about trying to get back scenes drama. I never really cared to get into those topics. We all know the show broke the mold for being able to prove child stars can make it in Hollywood AND female cast shows can work without catfights. The Facts of Life cast raised the bar on so many levels of how to be professional in Hollywood. Instead of making up rumors and knock it for what it accomplished, the fans should praise it. Some people really can't stand the fact that the cast likes each other and made it without bad publicity in Hollywood. It's also a 40 year old show. It's pathetic that there are some people trying to create crap that didn't happen just for click bait. You would think they would have better things to do with their lives than try to knock a 40 year old show down for the accomplishments they made ohno: As I said, I love the show and appreciate it for what it is and the accomplishments it made for other casts of shows to live up to.
