[80s Dude]

Long video with mainly other things, but you can find two Facts of Life promos from 1986.

1. At the 7:50 mark, you will find one for Dope.
2 A generic promo at the 20:00 mark.

Cool find! We even get to see Sue Ann, and a nice line from both Mr. Garrett and Cindy!

Cindy featured in a promo!!

How interesting it's all about the stereo! What a cool angle!

I bet a few people said, "I'm gonna tune in and find out more about this stereo!"

The TV listing could have said, "The girls' dorm at Eastland School gets its own stereo, but at what cost? Cindy: Julie Anne Haddock. Sue Ann: Julie Piekarski. Blair: Lisa Whelchel. Mrs. Garrett: Charlotte Rae. Bradley: John Lawlor."

Haha!

But even better if they left out Sue Ann and put in Molly or Tootie or even Nancy--no dope girls at all!

Yeah, some of those listings were pretty strange!

Considering what the main topic of this episode is about, I am not surprised they featured the stereo side story.

Considering this was 1986, I am surprised they didn't show Molly Ringwald in the previews.

It's kind of like showing a clip of "Running" where Natalie and Tootie are arguing over who is winning at checkers:

Announcer: "Competition threatens to ruin a friendship..."

"Who's winning?" "I am!" "I am!"

Announcer: "...That's all coming up on The Facts of Life! Monday at 5 on TV 26!"

But the main topic in Running didn't get the episode banned from some networks.

Bradley: Five seconds off the old record!

Molly: Gee, Cindy! How'd you manage that?

Cindy: It was a cinch... once I learned to pace myself. I just went over to Tumpy's dorm room, and she... she helped me out. [A strange look crosses Cindy's face]
