Thumbs down "I'm Dancing As Fast As I Can"

This afternoon Me-Tv showed the episode "I'm Dancing As Fast As I Can" in which Jo and Blair take Mrs. G to a strp club for her birthday and Blair learns that her boyfriend, Cliff, is a dancer there. What a terrible episode. Facts doesn't have too many bad episodes, but this one was truly terrible. Does anyone have any opinions on this episode?

It's been a while since I watched the episode, like 4 years or so, but from what I can remember I enjoyed it.

I thought everyone would agree with me. "I'm Dancing As Fast As I Can' was the first Facts episode (with the possible exception of "Brian and Sylvia") that I outright hated.

Thankfully today's episode, "Advanced Placement" (where Natalie takes a course at Langley and starts hanging out with Boots), was much, much better.

wow, i actually really REALLY like this episode!!! I think it's HILARIOUS that they actually take mrs. g to a strip club, i mean of all the places... and the fact that nat and tootie were all like... did you get pictures? did you get pictures of the naked men? priceless.... and i mean, it was SOOO cute when jo asks mrs. g what she would do if she found out her bf was as stipper, and she just had a gleam in her eyes and was like, i'm thinking about it... hehe, so cute!!! i think it was a great change of pace... but season 5 and the first part of season 6 ar elike one of my favorite seasons!!!

Overall I am really enjoying season five. I think it is one of my favorite seasons too. Still, I don't see the appeal of "I'm Dancing As Fast As I Can".

BECUZ YOU'RE A GUY MIKE (JUST KIDDING)

ALTHOUGH, I MUST ADMIT, IT DID SEEM A LITTLE OUT OF CHARACTER, I THOUGHT, ESPECIALLY FOR JO. I ALWAYS DEEMED HER A WOMAN OF HIGHER STANDARDS.

I ALSO MUST ADMIT I WAS TAKEN TO A STRIP CLUB YEARS AGO, TOO. MANY, MANY YEARS AGO, AND WOULD NEVER GO AGAIN. GUYS WERE CUTE, BUT EMBARASSING. I WAS EMBARRASSED FOR ME AND THEM. BUT..THAT'S THE FACTS OF LIFE. LIVE & LEARN-HOPEFULLY

JO, you're probably right about my dislike of this episode having something to do with the fact that I'm a guy. Seeing men dancing around in skimpy shorts is not exactly my idea of a good time.

I also agree with you regarding Jo being out of character. I think Mrs. Garrett was out of character as well. I just cound not see either Jo and Mrs. Garrett enjoying themselves at a stripclub. I think the episode would have worked a little better if it had been Blair and Boots who went to the club. I say "a little better", because I still would not want to see the guys in those shorts.

NOW, IF JO WAS STILL IN THE BIZ OF MAKING HER FAKE ID'S, NATALIE & TOOTIE WOULD'VE BEEN IN THE FIRST ROW
