Default Sucky spinoff episodes

I agree with you there. Those were actually intended to be spinoff episodes, where they would make actual series from them.
Funny, since FOL was a spinoff series...But they BLEW TENDER CHUNKS as actual episodes!!

Among the attempted spinoffs, the only one I like is The Academy (don't ask why). All the rest sucked. I also think that the Down Under eps sucked.

I can't stand any of 'em either, but out of all of them, The Academy was the least stupid.(but it was still stupid) Thank goodness none of 'em became series.

Brian and Sylvia could've worked with...Harrison Ford and Tina Turner! That would've been a show!

Yeah, I thought the "Academy" was ok as well...one of the most enjoyable spinoff attempts anyway.
As for "Teacher's Pet", I enjoyed that episode.
One that I'm not too much on is "Edna Garrett On Campus." After the third time or so it's just no too entertaining to me.

Thumbs down

I give thumbs down to
The Facts of Life in Paris -could use some work.
The episode where The chef that Mrs.Garrett learned from comes to Eastland with his family & they can't speak English.
The episode where Allison runs off & leaves her baby.
The one with Alex the princess.
The one where a former Eastland graduate comes back & interviews evereybody.Some of the later episodes without Mrs.Garrett.
