Interesting topic.

13. Mrs Garrett's room in season 2. I also like the cafeteria, the library, the lounge and the auditorium. My least favorite is the "new" Eastland in season 9. I don't like the tiny cafeteria that much.

I would say 22 is the auditorium and 23 is the auditorium lobby, but that's just semantics. :lol:

It sure is homey and comforting!

I decided I prefer the Eastland kitchen over the lounge. But the library and auditorium were cool additions.

But it's so spacious! You could fit ten, twelve girls in there! :lol:

Did we actually see the inside of the auditorium? I know in "Graduation, Part 2" and "Read No Evil", we're looking at the auditorium lobby.

Impressive list for a show that was mostly centered around a cafeteria/kitche/lounge/bedroom*!

*(while there were two bedrooms, Mrs. Garrett's wasn't seen nearly as much as the girls' across the hall)

That's just going on my assumption that the stage is in the auditorium. :wave: But we never saw the seats, no.

Yeah, it's kind of odd that we did not see some of those sets more often. The Season 2-4 classroom, for example. And why so many different sets for the headmaster's office? You don't have to replace the office when you replace the headmaster! :lol:

My favorite would be the set for Edna's Edibles, but since this is about the favorite room for Eastland, my pick would be the cafeteria.

The cafeteria is one of my favorite places in the world. So many fun moments there, and bittersweet, too. So many lessons learned there, under the watchful eye of Mrs. Garrett.

Edna's Edibles is a cozy, nice place, and I can almost taste Mrs. Garrett's delicious quiche... but it can't replace the Eastland cafeteria, with its string beans, grapefruit halves, and French cuisine.

Roy was definitely a pest! But I'll take one dozen French croissants! Maybe some cherry tarts too! Now I'm hungry for pastries and the like.

I like the common room of the dorm. Looks very comfy. Reminds me of a frat house at the college I went to. Of course the set was originally used for a sorority in Coed Fever.

That also was a cozy set, and I can imagine everyone gathered around the fireplace for a really nice Eastland Christmas.

Roy was part of the show. He was very memorable from my formative years, very funny and entertaining. I'm glad he was there. :)

They were awesome places. Imagine reading a book in the little library nook of the dorm common room... or getting some warm rolls at the Eastland cafeteria!

Roy was kind of the "Squiggy" of The Facts of Life.
