It is difficult to pick just one episode.

I noticed quite a few people besides myself picked season nine as their least favorite. I think season nine is a huge disappointment, especially considering how great season eight is. I think season eight is the show's second best season. Nine though is such a let down. There are only a handful of really good episodes like "Less Than Perfect", "Rumor Has It", "Down and Out In Malibu", "Up From Down Under" and "Let's Face the Music". I happen to like Pippa though. I think she made a good friend for Andy. She gave Andy someone his own age to hang out with.

^ That was pretty much all Pippa was good for . To be friends with Andy. Other than that, she was pretty much random and forgettable. If I remember right, for the majority of her time on the show she wasn't even rooming with the other girls; she slept on the couch . If that doesn't say how she stuck out like a sore thumb I don't know what is.

I'm glad to see someone else likes season eight. I think it is one of the funniest seasons of FOL. A lot of people don't like it because of Beverly Ann, but I never minded Bev and thought she could be pretty funny at times. She wasn't the mother-figure we were used to with Mrs. Garrett, but Cloris Leachman is a great actress in my opinion and I enjoyed her as Beverly Ann. Plus, with Mrs. G off following her own dreams, this was the first year we got to see the girls really on their own (other than some season 7 eps when Mrs. G is off visiting her sister.) I liked seeing the girls solve their own problems and really grow up.

I agree season 9 was not very good. I picked 1 as my least favorite because I don't even see it as the same show until Jo came on the scene, but 9 would be my second choice for least favorite. I LOVE "Down and Out in Malibu!" In fact I almost picked it as my favorite episode but then changed my mind. Maybe I should change it back though because that episode was really great. I loved how it showed how much Jo really meant to Blair, that Blair would go all the way to California to help her when she was in trouble, and how Jo was so ashamed of not making it on her own that she put on the big front pretending like she was leading this fabulous life. I also loved how when everything fell apart and the truth came out all the girls pitched in together to try to help (and failed.) You can't beat Richard Moll as the guest star for this episode. He was great! And of course when Jo shows up at home in Peekskill it's the perfect ending because the thought of being away from her friends was too much for her and too much for us as viewers. It's too bad season 9 got off to such a great start and ended so badly. I agree that season 9 was a huge disappointment.

Okay...enough of my rambling!
