YUK!!! That white one piece outfit Jo wore in Part 2 was worse than the red number. Poor Nancy....I didn't notice anyone else having to wear such a horrendous outfit. It was even bad for 80's standards, lol!

Don't worry, Tootie is going to be getting the hand-me-downs soon, so Jo doesn't have to suffer alone in the powersuits.

Jo: So things change. You're born, ya move on, ya die, that's life.
Tootie: They're so perfect for each other!
Jo: Yeah, she makes peoples sick and he cures them.
Blair: The moon was but a chin of gold a night or two ago. And now she turns her perfect face upon the world below. The Moon. Emily Dickinson.

This episode was wrong on soooo many levels. I don't even know where to start.

First off - Flyman, that mullet? Is. Not. Sexy. Period. Jo must have had a thing for no talent ugly musicians.

The one good thing that comes out of this episode is Tootie. She is actually likeable and gets a couple good lines in there. Oh, and Nat's man? Very cute by 80s standards.

Jo's jumpsuit - the red one and the white one? Ohmigod, I promise you kids, WE DID NOT WEAR THAT CRAP in the 80s. Don't retro that outfit. Please. For the love of Mike. Don't do it.

every1 pickes at these shows TOO much...i mean, you can't expect A TV SHOW to be perfect in every aspect! I thought it was a pretty good eps. of course i love all FOL eps. I thought the part when Tootie gave Leon the autograph was soo funny! But the one piece stuff Jo wore was not working...but hey, that's what people in 20 years will say about our fashions too! Have to remember that this show was taped 20 years ago...so there filiming techniques might not be as great as todays!

Blair: Hold it, you ruined my watch.
Jo: No I didn't, it's a stop watch...it stopped

Jo: So things change, you're born, ya move on, ya die, that's life.
Blair: Don't get too mushy on us!

I liked the one piece outfit. Ok, so sue me. I like that kind of thing.

You know, when Jo got sunburn it reminded me of when nancysbiggestfan got sunburn.

Of course you can't expect a sitcom to be perfect, that's why we're discussing such "flaws" or whatever you want to call them.
I mean, I enjoy the episode, but not in that "classic" way. More so in that "so chessy it makes me laugh" sort of way.

And I believe that today's fashion is the most diverse ever. People are wearing clothes from all different era's and it's acceptable. So I doubt people will make fun of today's fashion like we have about the 80s...

Who Knows!! I thought the red one piece thing Jo wore was OK...but when she walked downstairs in that white one, i thought it was just something that she was wearing at the time cause she was sun burnt...i didn't think in a million years she would actually wear it in public!!!!!
