I do!

But if Mrs. Garrett and the Lost Girls are around me, I'm all for doing it the hard-pressed "organic" way!

Haha!

And I just noticed, in the "eat" emoji, after he chomps the burger, he winks before he grins.

I know, right??? FINALLY, Diane gets to come on the show!! It's about dam' time!! I really like "meeting" Tootie's mom, but she missed the classic cafeteria years.

Neither of Tootie's parents were on screen during the classic cafeteria years...we just got her knucklehead brother Marshal, who only "exists" for that one episode! lol

Well we got her cousin and I thought her brother was with them there too a few eps ago. But yeah, Mr Ramsey saw the classic dorm set. I wonder what Mrs Ramsey thinks of Tootie now living with a person her husband tried to make Tootie transfer schools to get away from?

Weeelllll, as much as I love the dorm, it's not "classic" in the same sense as the cafeteria. When I refer to "the classic cafeteria years", I mean the show when it was at its cultural and air wave peak, those seasons 2 through 4. Now, I realize I am probably biased because I grew up with them in syndication as a little boy (but the dorm, too). But I think when most people think of FOL, they think of the cafeteria years.

Well, Mr. Ramsey opened his stubbornly locked masculine mind at the end of "Overachieving", lol, and it's clear all the parents love and appreciate Mrs. Garrett.

Ya know, we never do learn Mr. Ramsey's first name---other than "Buffalo"!

No you’re right. I’d order the most memorable sets as:
Cafeteria
Edna’s Edibles
Over our heads
Original dorm
Sadly the common room would be last because it WAS only 13 eps of the show

Right? Oh, if only they had ordered a full-season right from the get-go! We'd have nearly twice as many Lost Girl/dorm episodes! [sigh]...
