Something extremely odd I noticed.. - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Okay, I noticed something extremely odd while watching my tapes of DS.

In the FOL pilot, Mrs. Garett visits Eastland. (They called it Eastlake then).

And they say that Mrs. Garett visited Kimberly's School. So Kimberly's School had to have been Eastland/Eastlake.

So, my question is, how come Kimberly wasn't a student at Eastland in FOL?

She couldn't have graduated because she was only 13..Blair and Jo didn't graduate til they were around 17. And I highly doubt Mr. Drummond took Kimberly out of the school...

well, there were a few crossover episodes in the 79-80 and 80-81 season with Blair, Natalie and Tootie as "classmates" of Kimberly. I believe it was explained that Mr. Drummond took her out of Eastland and into another school sometime before graduation.

Yeah, Kimberly went to public school starting with the episode "In the Swim"

Also, the early episodes of FOL took place in the dorm. Kimberly was a commuter student, so there was no reason we'd see her there. We didn't see her in the FOL cafeteria either, but maybe she brought her lunch from home.
