Has anyone ever seen those commercials on Nick-at-Nite where they show the Eastland Yearbook and the announcer says "Nick-at-Nite presents the Facts of..." then they say the character's name and give their hobbies and talents? If you did, have you ever seen the "Facts of JO" commercial where the announcer says "Favorite Movie:" and they show a clip of Jo saying "Easy Rider" and she's wearing a pair of shades? (I know, get to the point already!) My question is, does anyone know which episode that "Easy Rider" clip comes from? I've never see the episode, so I"m just curious. Thanks!
This is from the episode Fear Strikes Back from the 3rd season. Jo is Peter Fonda (who was in Easy Rider) and Blair is Jane Fonda for a campus costume party. Natalie is Charlie Chaplin and Tootie is Diana Ross. Nick at Nite skipped this episode.
It's odd Nick at Nite would skip this episode, yet they show scenes from it in their promos. The same with the scene where the teacher writes 'FACT' on the chalkboard - that is from the episode where Jo writes about her teacher who she thinks was busted at a cocaine raid - this episode was Front Page..

Members,
I know NICK-AT-NITE skipped through a lot of episodes.
I think I remember this particular episode -- where Nancy McKean 'Jo' go out on a date to a Halloween Party or Halloween Ball. And the boy she endup going with treats her nasty and she tears her dress.
I was born on June 13, 1972 in Texas.

I thought the episode where Jo gets her dress torn was when she went to a country club cotillian with Blair's rich friend...

"Well at least I don't sew L's on everything I wear!"
"Well that would be pretty stupid considering your name's Shirley!"
