Did you write that post with a fish pen?

These days Spencer's has lots of things that would be extremely inappropriate for kids.

Yes, it's a very different store than what it was in the 1980s. Weirdly, you could now buy the bongs Tootie and Natalie purchased at the record store, and the outfits Blair mistakenly shipped from Henri of Hollywood, all at Spencer's!

The crew really did their homework with Over Our Heads. With Charlotte Rae having drastically reduced her role on the show, Edna's Edibles probably wouldn't be a focal point like it was.

I don't see why not. There were plenty of episodes during the Edna's Edibles years when Charlotte wasn't really the focal point, but the shop was still featured prominently. I'm thinking, for example, of the Gamma Gamma Gamma sorority catering episode, where Mrs. Garrett refused to make the food, so the girls made the worst possible Chinese food, then agreed to put the "questionable" items at the back of the table... and all of the items ended up at the back of the table!

Definitely Edna's Edibles, as it was a continuation of what Edna loved to do and "the girls" were still helping out in a culinary setting. Over Our Heads was kind of a mess, ad we even saw the cast less in that setting than in EE, even after Mrs. G had left.

EDNA'S EDIBLE definitely: BLAIR, JO, NAT & TOOTIE were still 'her girls' and leaving under the same roof like she was the mother and they were her kids hee hee!
