well IMO i thought it was a great episode!! i liked having all the girls come back and see the girls again... and yes nancy, cindy, and sue ann did meet jo but that doesnt mean that they knew her well enough to have that many memories, most of the stuff are memories of the first season the only thing that troubled me was they didnt even have the girls come back to see mrs. g for one last time.... (whips a tear) they knew mrs. g just as well as the other girls!! but they were leaving nancy out so that she would feel jelous for the first time... usually she is sooo into things and never feels left out, it was kinda nice to see "JO" in that way.... but i really wish that they wouldl have had a big deal wedding for mrs. g so that the old girls could come back, and mrs. g's kids could be there, and then raymond and dorris coudl have come back maybe with the news of them having a child and mrs. g was sad that she had to leave right when shed have a grandchild and all this other stuff... i had this whole great idea!!!! it was just kinda sad to see them rush the whole thing and all of that.... they should have had a lot more time!! it was a GREAT episode... dont get me wrong!! i just hink they could have made ita lot better than they did!! hehe... maybe i could write a script... i'll think about it... i got like 5 more scritps to write in my boring classes!!! heheh... see ya later!!! bye!!

------------------
jo: mrs. g gone on ahead I KNOW i can fix the problem
MRs. G: jo only twice in my life have i spoke in an arbitrary manner, once when my ex husband morgaged our home to pay the bookee, and now, GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE OR I'LL BEAT YOU WITH MY FRYING PAN!!!

Tootie: (laughing at nat for her hat)waht should i have said?
jo: (gets up and laughs)
blair: nice hat!! (laughs)
Nat: waths wrong with it? (takes it off and looks at it) Oh good good!!! I'm loosing a bolt im working half wattage!!

blair: now jo i know we usually dont agree but that was a scuzy thing for your mother to do!
tootie: wahts so scuzy about it!?!? dont you read the national enquirer, some of the best peopel are Shacking up!!
mrs. g: TOOTIE!!! im surrounded by x-rated kids!!!

Watching the little chill episode made me wistful of what could of been if nancy, sueann and cindy were put in a few more episodes to balance out the remaining girls. They didn't have to be series regulars anymore but they could of at least been showcased in a recurring fashion like cousin geri, since they were students at eastland anyway. They definitely should of been in the graduation episode for jo and blair. Especially if they could give airtime to a shmuck like ROY.

I have to agree with all of you who say that it is weird that Jo was such a stranger. Those other girls knew Jo well. For those of us whi watched the show are not naive. The Gossip episode. Blaie tells Jo not to tell Nancy about her date with Roger and then Jo sitting with the girls when Mrs. Garrett confronts Tootie about her gossiping. The episode when Sue Ann and Cindy sit with Jo congradulating Jo on her article about Jo's teacher. The episode when Jo tells the trio "Watch your mouth! Natalie's our friend" What were they thinking? That was totally messed up! Of course they knew each other better. They all (except Tootie)went to New York togehter.

Nope, I was wrong, I looked at the episode again and there were in fact palm trees in the shot. Oh well, I guess Peekskill is just in that tropical section of New York. Either that or Tootie went on an awful long drive for her driver's test.

yeah, i was just looking at some of the guest stars from some episodes on the episode guide, and in episodes like Front page i think it was, nancy is in those and so is jo and i am positive that they all met each other before that episode! i hate it when producers and writers and stuff think that we wont notice, but maybe they never figured that the facts would end up with so many FANATICS like us! (well, some of us!! ) hehe!

JO: Now, Natalie, when you hear these voices, are they friendly?

Jo and the first season girls do have interactions and classes together. Now Jo never lived in the dorm with any of them and doesn't have any first year memories thus shedoesn't know them quite as well but still-they are not total strangers.

And Jo probably hung out with them more out of obligation then desire.

Oh absolutely they would have. I would have cracked up at their insults towards Blair and they would have laughed and high-fived.

Indeed. Even though Cindy did become quite a gal.
