josthebest- The Tootie haircut i'm talking about is from the 8th season(or around there). It looks like those old Egyptian hieroglyphics(sp?). It's scary!
Oh,and John reminded me, I totally hate Pippa!

Things I hate:

1. Pippa
2. The way Jo turned into a "girl"
3. The first season
4. Molly
5. Nancy
...

--------
Jo: Well, I'm not gonna stand around playin' stupid guessing games. Who is it?!
Pippa: Franni!
Jo: Ya see, it's just Franni. Who the hell is Franni?!

Andy: Merry Christmas!!
Tootie: Do you know what day it is?
Jo: Yeah, it's the day I lost all feeling in my neck. (looks at Andy) Who are you?
Andy: Ho ho ho!
Jo: Awww. That's sweet. Go 'way.

Mrs. G: Natalie, why don't you show Jo a better place to park her bike.
Jo: Why don't I just park it on Blair's face!?
Natalie: She's a breath of fresh air, isn't she?

Blair: She must think we're into nostalgia, she's still wearing flared jeans.
Jo: Uh, in a minute your gonna be wearin' flared teeth.

Jo: We'll sneak out tonight after dinner, OK?
Blair: OK.
Tootie: Yeah, we'll be ready.
Blair: We? Would you like to explain that?
Tootie: Sure. See, we is the first person plural pronoun. Me and Nat are a we, and we are going with you.

Jo: It was just like Saturday night fever, only it was a Friday.

That reminds me, I hated how every scene Nancy was in the first season, that she would always be on the phone with Roger. She was really annoying.

I hated Blair's hair (laid straght down Eww)in the episode when she is being "SoreThroat" over the phone talking to Natalie.(sorry I don't know the name of the episode) Also I really didn't like that white dress Jo wore in "The Oldest Living Graduate" either! I like Jo's wardrobe besides that though usually... I personally thought her clothes in the later seasons were pretty cool..I must be weird! LOL..

I sort of understand why Jo wore the skirts, suits, etc, in the last season because she was working, no longer in college. As much as you like jeans, they're not the most appropriate in a work environment. In college you can get away with wearing pretty much whatever you want.
I liked the dressshe wore to the military academy. I think she looked pretty in it.

Cool, you brought back my topic.

About the dress she wore in 'The Academy' was a little 'ruffely' shall we say.
But that's probably nnot an insult, codsidering all those other dresses she wore.(shudder).

LOL! I'm strictly a ponytail Jo, myself!

My hate list:

1. Stacy Q
2. Andy
3. That juvenile deliquent girl who was in like, 4 episodes (can't remember her name)
4. Mrs. G's suitors (they were all pretty lame)
5. Any references to the "Head Over Heels" merchandise and how kitchy it was
6. Jo's 80s "go-go boots" (I swear she wore leg warmers in a couple of eps)
7. Blair's awful, overdone feathered bangs

The only things i really hate are the 1 piece suits and the whole Jo attitude change. She was like a really different person, and it wasnt funny. I've only seen 1 episode in the 9th season, and it only had a little of Jo, but she was wearing a skirt without a reason (although she was married). Her clothes I could of lived with though if they didn change Jo's whole charater!!!!

------------------
Blair- It's 1984, isnt it
Jo-very good, now do you wanna guess what planet we're on

I'll have to agree with most people on the last season Jo... I loved Nancy's hair in the last one but I couldn't STAND the fact the writers decided it was time to make Jo look like, well, not Jo!

I think everyone is a little miffed about the change of character in the last few seasons... and yes,(sadly)she did wear leg warmers.
My question is, why did the actresses let the wardrobe people do that do them?
Even though it was the 80's, they were all MAJOR fasion victims.(Just look at the 7th season!)

Sad

The 7th season was definitely a fashion disaster for all the girls. They all had hideous big hair do's during the time that Edna's edibles burned down and they opened Over Our Heads. I think Nick ran a joke about all that aerosol from their hairspray burning a hole in the ozone layer. Jo and Blair looked especially hideous imo but luckily the hairstyles improved in season 8 when Beverly Ann showed up. Unfortunately, the girls were stuck wearing bad clothes thru out the rest of the series.

------------------
Tootie: Muffy? Her name is Muffy? What kind of person is named Muffy?

Jo: Beats me, Tootie.
