I want to know who this very special guest is! It's too bad I'll probably never be able to see it though, because my MeTV affiliates don't show Collector's Call.

Sounds very cool!
Imagine the possibilities, guys!

Lisa: As we all know, Charlotte Rae was an avid collector of Facts of Life set decor. Special guest Kim Fields, my co-star on The Facts of Life, is going to guide us through Charlotte's amazing collection of priceless memorabilia from the set of the show.

Kim: That's right, Lisa. Now, many people knew Charlotte collected set decorations. But what many people didn't know is that Charlotte only collected one type of item during her years on The Facts of Life... an item befitting Charlotte's stature as a star known around the globe.

Kim: This globe was one of Charlotte's favorites. It was seen on top pf the grandfather clock during the first four episodes of the show. Note the faux antiquing on this item.

[Lisa nods.]

Kim: Compare that to this replacement globe, also in Charlotte's collection, seen in later first-season episodes.

Lisa: Clearly, very different globes. Each one unique in its own way. Charlotte loved them all. No judgement.

Kim: Indeed. Now, here's an interesting item: the globe Felice Schachter attempted to strangle during the second-season episode "Gossip". If you look closely, you can still see the indentations caused by her fingers gripping that globe very tightly.

Lisa: My goodness! Felice sure had strong grip strength!

Kim: Don't remind me! Now over here, in the west wing of the collection, we can see the globes used in the dorm rooms: all eighteen of them...

['80sSitcoms]

Yeah, if it's Kim. They're not saying!

[MA]

My guess would probably have to be someone who was on the show.

['80sSitcoms]

Yes, I'm assuming one of the "core four" as well.

Some more information about this from the blog:

The MeTV Network will welcome one of television's most beloved families to its daytime lineup this January. The Waltons will air weekdays, premiering on Wednesday, January 1, 2020 at 12PM | 11C. Additionally, two classic cop dramas will join the weekday schedule when Adam-12 and Dragnet report for duty starting New Year's Day, with Adam-12 weekdays at 5:00pm & 5:30pm and Dragnet in the mornings at 5:30am & 6am. Other weekday changes are I Love Lucy at 6:30am and In the Heat of the Night now at 11am. That's not all! Sunday night has a new look, beginning with the early 90-minute episodes of Columbo (1971–1978) at 8PM | 7C. That leads into an all-new season of Collector's Call at 9:30PM | 8:30C (premiering January 12). Host Lisa Whelchel (The Facts of Life) returns to uncover even more stunning collections — and some surprising guest stars from The Brady Bunch, the Winter Olympics and beyond! Then, MeTV is pairing up The Flintstones with The Honeymooners — the sitcom that inspired the cartoon — at 10PM & 10:30PM. You can still catch The Flintstones weekdays 6-7P and Sundays 10A-12N.

Huh. Maybe a reunion between Eve Plumb and Lisa Whelchel? They did play half-sisters in FOL, after all. Eve finally got to play the oldest sister, for once.
