I loved the documentary! I thought it was great! Nancy should have been in it though. I especially loved the cast quizzes. They were really funny trying to figure out the answers. lol. I did wish that they had more behind the scenes stuff. I would have liked to have seen more of that kind of thing but overall it was awesome! What did you guys think?

Nighthawk76 · 10-13-2009, 11:26 PM

I enjoyed it.

I would have liked to have seen recent interviews with Nancy though.

I was happy to see it and I loved that they had Charlotte, Mindy, Lisa and Kim, but it really was the same stories and pictures we have heard many times before. I was hoping to hear and see something new. I hate that they spend so much time on season 1 girls, George Clooney and Jeri Jewel. I would have liked to have heard more about how the cast got along over the years. I loved hearing the story about Lisa showing up with cargo pants and a book in each pocket and baby powder in her hair b/c she didn't take a shower. Also, I liked hearing that the original name for Jo was Foxy. I wish Mindy would write a tell all book or something b/c I bet she has a lot of things to talk about, she doesn't seem to hold back.

ColeyFoLFan25 · 10-14-2009, 11:57 AM

so I totally recorded the wrong show. I saw the biography of FOL not cast confessions. if anyone has a link as to where I can see it that would be great

I agree. I loved the baby powder thing. A lot of the things Lisa talked about in this documentary, I have heard her say in person which I thought was really cool. I racked her brain about FOL the first time I met her. We ate dinner together and she was talking to me about the whole episode process. She didnt mention that she wasn't a fan of it though. On the show last night, it said that she would get her lines and stuff down pretty quickly and then said " see you in 4 days" lol. I am rambling now but it was interesting to hear some of the things that Lisa has talked about in her conferences. I don't agree with Mindy on some of the things she said, especially about "The First Time" but I still like her very much.

You have to love Lisa.

ZeldaGilroy · 10-14-2009, 05:38 PM

I enjoyed it too. I had heard most of it before, but it was still fun to watch. I did like the story about how the original name for Jo was Foxy.

I can't even imagine that. And no offense to Lisa, but that baby powder thing grossed me out a bit. If your hair is greasy, take a shower. It really made me laugh, but I still thought it was odd. I also wish Nancy had agreed to be interviewed, but I wasn't expecting to see her. It was nice that they interviews some first season girls as well, they sometimes get left out of these kind of things. I also liked the quizzes...Mrs. Garrett moved to a "mobile home." I about died laughing when Kim said that!!!

Nighthawk76 · 10-14-2009, 06:26 PM

I didn't agree with some of what was said about the first season. I think there was some good shows during season 1, especially "Rough Housing", "Dieting" and "Running". The one thing I did agree with was the producers' dislike of the skimppy shorts worn year. I agree that the characters and actresses were way too young at that point to be dressing in such a way.

ZeldaGilroy · 10-14-2009, 08:57 PM

I am not a big fan of season one so I did agree with some of what they said, especially about there being too many cast members. It is hard to identify with the characters when there are so many of them. But I definitely agree about the clothes from first season! It was ridiculous the stuff they made those girls wear...inappropriate for teenage girls in my opinion.

ssudioTVgirl · 10-15-2009, 01:34 AM

I enjoyed this show. I have to say when they were talking about the way the first season girls dressed, I was in full agreement. That's what I always thought about the first season. Girls were wearing shorts that went up to their necks and you could almost see their "business". Even the tops were too tight and so were the jeans!! Especially when Mrs. Garrett innocently tapped Blair's behind in the "Emily Dickinson" episode and Blair was wearing those tight tan pants. These girls were way too young for "Jiggle TV". That one woman was right, it was semi-"kiddie porn". But, other than that, I loved the program. The way they delt with the virginity topic was also brilliant. Though I've never been too crazy about the guy Natalie was dating, Snake. To me, he just seemed really sleezy.

That's because it was Vic Demoan from "Fast Times at Ridgemont High".

ssudioTVgirl · 10-15-2009, 01:21 PM

I just realized that, actually, when watching this and they said it was the guy from "Fast Times". Weird. I just thought he looked too old and just seemed really greasy. I love the episode, though. But I'm still in shock that the lady said exactly what I've thought about the first season all along. It was a cute bunch of episodes, but alot of the stuff the girls wore was just way too revealing. Nowadays, it's nothing to see 12/13/14-year-olds dressed in skimpy outfits, which I think is sick. But thirty years ago, it was quite shocking.

Robert 13 · 10-15-2009, 01:59 PM

I dvr'd it so I'm gonna watch it tonight. Can't wait! Sounds like it was a nice little documentary. I must be getting old because I sound like my elders when I say I, too, think what young girls where these days is waaaay too skimpy.

HSF · 10-15-2009, 02:57 PM

I LOVED the cast quizzes and I laughed at the "motor home" thing too. Those were soooo funny, especially when they couldn't figure out the answers.
