Molly's best episode?

[RetroGuy2000]

Molly didn't usually have a big role on The Facts of Life. But what do you think was her best episode?

The infamous lost double episode where someone stole her panties and didn't want to take her to the prom.

Haha! Sadly, those episodes weren't even packaged with the rest of the DVDs. Luckily, there is a DVD with those episodes!

Yep, that's the DVD set I have too!

But I actually prefer the other lost Facts of Life episodes where Molly gets detention at Eastland, along with another Eastland girl, Allison. Then these three boys pretend they're Eastland students, and hang out with them during detention. Headmaster Parker keeps them all day, mostly in the Eastland library.

Great soundtrack on that one!

Well, as an episode, hands down "Molly's Holiday". But in others she has some very noteworthy scenes: I love her dog catcher story that opposite-of-cheers-up Sue Ann in "I.Q.", and I love her debate with Cindy over Mr. Garrett when Mrs. Garrett considers taking him back.

She also does get some good material in "The Slumber Party", where we also assume and learn a few new details about her.

Oh, yeah, the "dog catcher in Paramus, New Jersey" story!

Yeah, did we ever hear about her brother in other episodes? And of course the implication that her family lives in Manhattan. It's too bad they didn't flesh Molly out more on her actual show!

And how she gets to be the one that goes, "Oh Sue Ann, don't feel bad just 'cause you're the dumbest girl in school!"

No!

I sure hope he took the news of the Parkers' divorce better than his sister did!

'80s, you haven't voted in the poll yet! How can we tabulate the results and do the next girl?

Thanks! Now on to the next girl!

I think I'd laugh harder at your image of Molly, but it seems as though she really felt that way, and I feel bad for laughing. It wasn't her fault...

No, laugh! I'd had this idea for days!

It's been nearly 40 years (!), and Molly Ringwald has made more peace with it by now; otherwise, it wouldn't be fun to make something like this, lol (I had it posted earlier, but made a little change so re-posted it.
