Natalies- Big Apple Blues (when Natalie decides to live in a loft in New York's SoHo to pursue her writing career)

Blair's- Blair running Eastland

Jo and Blair- living in a dorm and experiencing college life

Stacy Q and George Clooney

Richard Dean Anderson and Rosanne Caton as an interracial couple.

Jo's Cousin (Donnelly Rhodes as a gas station owner with three kids)

Jo and Blair- living in a dorm and experiencing college life

I always loved how the two interacted!

I always felt Mindy Cohn had good enough comic timing that she would've been great carrying her own series. I would've loved a Natalie spinoff.

I would've loved Jo and Blair- living in a dorm and experiencing college life, though Natalies- Big Apple Blues (when Natalie decides to live in a loft in New York's SoHo to pursue her writing career) might've been fun and Blair's- Blair running Eastland had potential.

The rest you may never have known were supposed to be FOL spinoffs if you ask me, the episodes meant to set them up notwithstanding.

I centainly would rather have had the "Jo and Blair in college" spinoff than the latter half of FOL itself.

Latinoxtc · 07-18-2005, 06:45 PM

I would have liked to see Blair's spin off where she runs Eastland with a new group of kids. I wouldve liked the Blair & Jo spinoff but then what wouldve been of the FOL without them?

marybluvsfol · 07-19-2005, 11:06 PM

Jo and Blair experiencing college life.

JDS84 · 07-21-2005, 06:55 PM

Jo and Blair in College

ABlairican Pie · 07-22-2005, 12:16 AM

Either Blair and Jo in college, or Blair takes over Eastland. Except that last episode didn't have quite the charm as the first FOL episode.

You're forgetting one spin-off idea that, at least I would have watched, and that is a spin-off with cousin Geri! It could be about the trial and tribulations of an MS stand-up comic. They could have titled it "Funny Girl." Would you have watched?

They did seem to push Geri for stardom, but I really don't think she would've had her own show. Besides Barbra Streisand probaly would sue over the name "Funny Girl."

You're forgetting one spin-off attempt, from the 3rd and 4th season episodes that took place at the Military academy, with Peter Frechette, David Aykroyd and John P Navin, Jr... sort of an all-male FOL.

Definitely BLAIR running "EASTLAND" which was the idea the writers had in mind, but LISA WHELCHEL refused to do it. I still think BLAIR had real potential with all she had learned from MRS. G in "the facts of life"; I also believed that, for the girl she just was when she just arrived ("vain" + "self centered"), she s the one who had done the most growing, so as "headmaster" to the new generation of teenage girls she would have been great!

OldBiddy · 11-18-2012, 07:47 PM

I like the idea of Blair as headmaster but I didn't like any of the kids in those episodes. I found them all dull or obnoxious.

You re absolutely right: the only one who was acceptable was JULIETTE LEWIS & that was the start of her acting career!
