Default The "Facts" Fantasy Hour

Oh, to go back to 1983 and see a change on television:

Coming up for the new TV season, it's "The Facts of Life" as you've never seen it before! Watch what ensues when Cindy and Molly move in with Natalie and Tootie to help Mrs. Garrett in the cafeteria!

And after that, stay tuned for another half hour in Peekskill! Watch all the academic adventures as Blair, Jo, Nancy, and Sue Ann all adjust to academic life at Langley! It's "The Facts of College Life"!

Don't miss "The Facts of Life" followed by "The Facts of College Life", only on NBC!

And then, Mrs. Garrett's son Raymond buys her her own gourmet food shop! And Cindy, Molly, Natalie, and Tootie move in with her to help her run it! And then Blair, Nancy, Sue Ann, and Jo all get part-time jobs there to help out and earn $ as well!

Heck, you could even take this a step further and have Blair and Jo get kicked off campus for Jo stowing away in Blair's room a la "Brave New World", Nancy get kicked off campus for getting caught with Roger in her room after hours, and Sue Ann kicked off campus because she bought this cute little pencil box at a thrift store and when she opened it up in class a joint fell out because it used to be Tumpy's pencil box, then they all move in with Cindy, Molly, Natalie, and Tootie in the big room upstairs and it's like old times! (even better, 'cause all 8 girls are in 1 room! A "permanent pajama party" indeed, Mrs. Garrett! )

Believe it or not, they show it only a couple of times. Its featured most in "The First Time", when Natalie is in "afterglow".

(by the way, did you catch post #5 here? lol)

That's good, I was wondering if they were ever going to let us see the converted room.
Haha I sure did. Sorry for not responding.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, in "Littlefield-speak", that's, like, 28, 32 episodes!
