It really seemed like in the case of The Facts of Life, it went knee-deep into the '80s excess look around the time that Over Our Heads, George Clooney, and the updated, now up-tempo theme song (around 1985-86 or Season 7) rolled around.

Ha ha. That is right. She was covered in fabric from neck to toe. Those oversized clothes were really big in the mid 80s. But I think they were trying to make her the serious one.

On another note, Jack was a skirt chaser on TC. Suddenly now he is loyal to Vicki which limited themes and scripts with Jack.
