They changed it because it was too similar to the school that they got ideas from for the show. That school was called Westlake.

And about the Miko thing. Its just one k.

That's an easy one to answer.

Season 1 took place in an actual dorm, so that is what the dorms looked like. Season 2-4 took place in the cafeteria/living room. That is why they look so different.

Thats not true. In the ep where Beverly Ann suggests they close the shop to make Andy and Pippa's bedrooms, Natalie says something like, We have to ask Mrs. Garrett and Beverly Ann goes to call her. Thats the one where Beverly Ann says something like, Lets see, it's tomorrow in Africa, so if I wanted to talk to Edna today I should have called her yesterday. It went something like that. lol

The house had a garage? I could never figure out the layout of that house. It's always confused the heck out of me. I can't really figure out Eastland's layout completely either. I wish someone would make the blueprints for them. I have a book with fantasy blueprints of sitcom family's houses, but FOL isn't in there.

Can ANYONE here explain the house or Eastland??? The house really confuses me, especially with those stairs. How many bedrooms were in that house? Where did the stairs from the kitchen in the later seasons come from? Also, where did that little hallway next to the swinging doors in the kitchen at Eastland go to? This is so confusing.

Near as I can tell, the bottom of the house was divided into 3 rooms. The living/dining area, the store, and the kitchen.

This is how I picture it (Lets see if this works.)

Nope, it didn't work. I'll draw something up and then scan it after I get back this weekend.

Would you really? That'd be so cool! What about after they closed the store and just had the regular kitchen? I couldn't understand that either. Also, which door was the front door? The store one or the one in the living room? Where was the street? Did they have a driveway and garage? Was there a lawn? Argh. So many unanswered question! LOL

I thought geri' last name was always tyler, being on blair's mom's side of the family...............

Maybe no head master realy wanted the job because the girls were so crazy

after season one the girls did not live in the same dorm anymore. They wound up living over the kitchen. So in a sence the living room did not really change. They just got rid of that set all together.
