I'm so sick of doing this whole Mrs. G/ BA thing BECAUSE...MRS. GARRETT was on the show for SEVEN SEAONS!!! ALL of a sudden they bring out Beverly Ann and BAM! the show lasted only TWO more season...OMG!! I'm surprised they let her contaminate the screen THAT long!!(As always, I am in no way blaming Cloris Leachman, nor am I saying she is a lousy actress, because, I think she must be a wonderful actress...to play...THAT!) And, As always, this is MO...

If Charlotte was an important character then why isn't she mention on the show description on Hallmarks website? Anyways imo I thought the writers screwed up Charlottes character in 3rd season. They made her more serious and I didn't like that. I like the way she acted in seasons 1 & 2. She was very funny. But she could never top season 7 that was her best year. Also Beverly Ann (the character) wasn't that bad. You know there is one episode where I just couldn't stand Beverly Ann and it was 62 Pick Up. She was just to annoying in that episode. I hope Hallmark skips that episode, it really wasn't a good one. Also I'm not putting Charlotte down either its just her character I am surprised she could play that.

I don't think Nancy is that good of an actress to save a show. I think the girls (Blair, Tootie, Natalie, & Jo) saved the show. The relationship between them was really great. They made its fans laugh. Also I am not a Jo fan that much for her to have her own store.

I agree. I'll always love Mrs. G and Charlotte, but the writers seriously toned down Mrs. G in Season 3 on, and It just wasn't the same, lol. But overall the entire show was good, and you can't place blame on the actors, because it's the writers fault, obviously.

I don't think the shows sucess depended on one certain actress. It's an ensemble (sp?) cast. It's kind of like All in the Family. If you had only Mike and Gloria without Archie or Edith, then the show wouldn't be as funny.

firstly, I hate to nitpick...actually, I love to nit pick, but, CHARLOTTE wasn't a character... Mrs. G was...

Second, just cause she's not mentioned in a freaking description doesn't mean she's not important...how would the girls have stayed at Eastland had it not been for Mrs. G?? ANswer: they wouldn't have!!! They woulda been thrown out on their butts that day they faked their id's and went to a bar. so...yea..

Third, no one is funny all the time!! I understand that she didn't maybe crack as many jokes after the third season, but, I personally still love Mrs. G after third season...I liked the serious episodes..but, maybe I'm just a drama person...

Not to mention the fact that there may not have even been a Facts of Life without Mrs. Garrett. After all, the show was a spinoff of DS, and Mrs. Garrett was pretty much the star of the show at first. It was her show in the beginning, because she was the character everyone knew from DS. I'd say Mrs. G. was VERY important, because if it wasn't for her, what show would we be talking about right now?

no kidding!!!!!!! Now do y'all understand my obsession?!?!HAd there not been Charlotte, there wouldn't have been Mrs. G(no one can do MRs. G but Charlotte...) Had there not been Mrs. G, there wouldn't have been FOL!!!!!!!!

You shouldn;t ask why Hallmark is skipping episodes of 'FOL". You should be asking why Hallmark is EDITING perfectly good episodes of FOL. When i saw the show on TV Land Fandemonium (which i had the privilege of taping), some parts were there in the episode that were not there on the Hallmark episodes, making them longer. And when they started showing the show on Hallmark, They completely shortened some parts. Here's an example: On Hallmark, they shows the "Gossip" episode. Remember the part where Mrs. Garrett is grilling Tootie about her Gossiping.

They skipped the aprt where Mrs. Garrett says that a lot of people being mad around here, Must be an epidemic, and then tells her that Nancy isn;t talking to Blair and Blair isn;t talking to Jo and Tootie fesses up to blabbing the secret. Mrs. garrett then tells her that the girls might like her gossip, but they would never confide in her or trust in her like a true friend, and it cuts to Tootie saying "I messed things up, didn;t i?" This is seen on the TV land version back in November.

When they showed it again on Hallmark, they just show Mrs. G saying a Lot of peopel, are mad around here, and then cuts to Tootie saying "I messed things up for teh girls, didn;t I?" without even stating to us what she did until the end.

I mean, I know they have to cut for commercials, which are too damn much of anyway, but come on, at least have teh uncut, resotred episodes showing.

You do realize that Hallmark restores scenes that weren't shown on Nick or TV Land.

I hope they at least go through the rotation again. I would love to get most of the episodes on tape.

I'm sure they will. But the paramount shows should be starting up in January when Bewitched and IDOJ leave, so I'd start recording now (the later seasons) just to be safe. I've taped almost every episode they've aired so far, just to be safe. They were skipping a lot of episodes but they'll probably play them all in the next rotation (I hope). I've tried to keep track of all the episodes I have, but I gave up a month or two ago, LOL (even though we have people giving us schedules, it's still hard to keep track when Hallmark skips eps that don't even need to be skipped). At least they've played the controversial ones (but didn't they skip the exotic dancers one? I can't remember when the episode should air... any help guys?)

What is so wrong with 'I'm Dancing As Fast As I Can?' USA aired it why didn't N@N & Hallmark air the episode? I remember some of the episode and it wasn't that controversial that it couldn't be aired.

I'm sure Hallmark will air it. They aired the other 7 controversial episodes so far. They just needed to skip 5 epsidoes each season from Season's 2 - 5, and that happened to be one of them.
