I think Blanche and the girls' open dialogue about sexual matters was too much for her.

But MWC of course was a different level, lol.

I would not consider GG raunchy; maybe "bawdy" or "risque", but not raunchy. MWC was in a completely different universe.

I appreciate the sentiment, but yeah, I don't wanna go. I don't want my illusions/perceptions ruined. If we were offered a tour with the Julies, Felice, and Molly, okay, I would really have to consider, lol, but otherwise, I don't want "my Eastland" changed.

I gotta respect how you feel, but it makes me very sad, to think I'll never tour "Eastland" with you and Lorimar and our fellow FOL aficionados.

I understand. But out of respect for my grandmother, I have to acknowledge the fact that she found they could get "raunchy". She was very conservative and small town-ish and church-going. And it is amazing what older ladies can get away with talking about on TV that younger girls can't.

Well, it sounds more like a fantasy than a plan, at least as of now.

That's very true, and I even remember a GG documentary which stated this outright: you could put very sexy words in an older lady's mouth, and suddenly it was funny. The producers realized they could get away with far more because of the ages of the actresses, and used that to good comedic effect.

Well, it sounds more like a fantasy than a plan, at least as of now.

I prefer to think of it as a plantasy.

People keep misremembering that. Blair never that on "The Facts of Life". She only did it in the backdoor pilot, which was an episode of "Diff'rent Strokes".

Now, Mrs. Garrett does say Blair does it in the first episode, but we're never shown her doing that.

That was actually my favourite episode on 'Different strokes': the 'pilot' from FOL cos it's the first time we see MRS G interact with BLAIR (then wild and bratty) and those two totally clash ha ha!
