Did anyone watch that PRE-PILOT for Facts of Life Yesterday at 9:30am?-lol - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVFactFan · 06-10-2008, 12:08 PM

I turned that off, too many silly girls running around acting crazy, no Mr. D, or Willis or Arnold, just a Pre episode to the Pliot of Facts of Life and I had to press the fast forward button

Pavan · 06-10-2008, 01:35 PM

Mr. D and the kids did appear in that episode.

Brieannas21 · 06-10-2008, 01:42 PM

Even though I did not see the episode yesterday, I have always liked that it.

Jude The Obscure · 06-10-2008, 03:55 PM

That wasn't a pre-pilot, that was the PILOT.

I thought the pilot was "ROUGH HOUSING" in August of 1979 which Mr. Drummond and the Kids also appeared in

Jude The Obscure · 06-11-2008, 09:54 AM

No, that was the first episode of the actual series.

That was one of my faves from season one of DS. I like the episode with the exception of making Sue Ann Weaver look like an airhead.

And yes it was the pilot and not the pre-pilot.

Jude The Obscure · 06-11-2008, 07:33 PM

And Blair was a total bit**!

In the DS episode Blair was more described as a rebellious girl. She also smokes even if it's prohibited by headmaster's school rules: she seems more an hi-society "Jo" than Blair. Smoking reference was also kept in the "Rough Housing" FOL episode, but never mentioned in the next episodes, even if the Blair's rebellious spirit was kept during all the season 1. Blair's character was totally modified since from FOL season 2.

You are correct. I stated on another board how basically we were given two different Blairs. Others believe she "matured." We are talking abt a person who made a complete change in 4 months???? What I mean is the school year ends most likely in late May, early June. School starts in September. We are to believe Blair suddenly had that much of a change? She matured in 4 months? I don't think so.

I think with the Jo character, the writers had to do a change to the Blair character and make her merely be this rich, snobbish girl, not be like she was in season 1 which was rebellious. That was now the Jo character. Blair in season 1 seemed so snobbish as to offend viewers, I am sure. It was hard to like the Blair character in season 1 when she was putting others down on their looks while also dressing in such a sexy fashion for a girl her age. I like Blair #2 better.

Maybe I need to watch FOL more because I thought Blair was snobby in all the seasons-lol

She was, but she mellowed out some towards the end.
