Which Leon in Mrs. Garrett's life do you prefer?

['80sSitcoms]

First there was Leon the frog in DS season 1's "The Girls' School", and then Leon the human in season 2's "Mrs. Garrett's Romance".

So, which do you prefer? 🧑 or 🐸 ?

Polls are open!

Leon the frog any day. He is better looking and not a mama's boy.

I was thinking about this episode with the human Leon the other day. I could not remember if it was on Different Strokes or FOL,

Well, we don't really know much about Leon's ties to his home life, but he does seem to be a very confident, independent frog getting away from Laura and hopping up on Mrs. Garrett.

Also, that pale green material really sets off his dark green froggy skin in an amphibiously wonderful way.

Yeah, I think that's a really neat story they did for Mrs. Garrett there with a younger man that they never did on FOL.

Maybe people aren't voting for Leon the human because, for a human, he doesn't have blond hair, blue eyes, or freckles, which, as we know, means he's not...

Yes, she was on for half of the 2nd season of DS. See, FOL episodes 1-4 aired from August 24 to September 14, 1979 before it was pulled from the air, and DS season 2 didn't start until September 21, 1979. Mrs. Garrett was at Eastland in August and September, then was back at the Drummond penthouse from September to at least December (then FOL started airing again in March 1980).

Okay, so let me get this straight: MRS G was away from FOL for almost half a year??? (i never knew that) Which means that between the episode 'I.Q' and 'Overachieving' there was a 6 months gap?
