Best FOL Crossover Different Strokes episode.

That crossover episode of Facts of Life characters appearing in Different Strokes episode was your favorite? I am not counting the ones where Tootie replaced Arnold when Gary Coleman was in the hospital. I am only counting the ones with more than one character making an appearance.

My favorite is the Slumber Party. The characters are more developed than they were in The Girls School and it has Cindy in it.

I'd say "The Slumber Party". It's a great episode, I love the story and the boys vs. girls fight. It's probably the only crossover episode where the DS cast and the Facts girls interact with each other from the beginning to the closing credits, a true crossover like the ones with Hello, Larry, not just simple appearences like Tootie in season 4.

"The Older Man" is good too but we didn't see much of Blair and Natalie after the first couple of scenes.

I don't consider "The Girls School", since it was a backdoor pilot of a new show, the other crossovers occurred when Facts had already premiered on NBC

Same, mio amico.

I would count "The Girls' School", and it's perhaps my favorite. I also very much enjoy "The Slumber Party". Further down the list is "The Older Man".

Hahahahaha!

Actually we ended on a peaceful note, agreeing to disagree in a friendly way over two sides of the line, but your meme is VERY FUNNY!!!

But all sides have to agree it is indeed a backdoor pilot, because it is. lol

Looks like Retro and i are on the same wavelength: we both voted for 'The girls school' hooray!

'Slumber Party' is my next favourite, cos as FOL FAN ITA says: the interaction between the FOL characters and DS are hilarious!

As for 'The older man': i have never seen it lol!

This is art imitates life. Dana Plato had a thing for older men. She tried to seduce a friend of Charlotte's. Could you see Kimberly hitting on Mr. Bradley in "Flash Flood"? She would have taken it literally.

NO no no 80s can't do that: MR BRADLEY was already reserved for BLAIR on the episode 'Flash Flood!'
