Are there are any episodes that you can
relate to? If so, which eps?

ABlairican Pie · 02-03-2002, 10:17 PM

Years ago, my mother ribbed me by comparing me to Mrs. Garrett's other son, the idle musician.... OUCH.

Oh yeah, the one where the girls were setting up Blair for a dinner date with the kid with the acne problem. I could have KILLED Natalie for that underhanded stunt!!

There are so many of them...

FolFanatic151 · 02-04-2002, 09:59 PM

Yes. The one where Jo's teacher dies. I had a teacher, and I was really close to her. She died last year from cancer. That episode always makes me think of her.

Hmmm... Dieting. And I'm stopping there.

MrsGarrettRocksMySocks · 02-05-2002, 06:29 PM

WEll, I can totally relate to Legacy, not because my grandfather was a memeber of the Ku Klux Klan, but because I've been that disappointed in someone in my family before, and I alwayd have to remember what Mrs. G said when I am disappointed........" Just because somebody disappoints you, DEEPLY disappoints you, that doesn't mean you have to stop loving them." It give me goosebumps...and also, "Running" because my I've had a fight with my friend over something like that..not running, but soemthing like that..

Eww! Eww! ME, ME! There are ALOT of eps that kinda remind me of an experience I've been in. One though is "Where's Poppa." I always remind myself of the adive Jo gave Blair...

(This is paraphrasing since I haven't seen this episode in a YEAR now)

Blair: When your father was released from jail, Jo, how did you get through it.

Jo: Who said I did?

Blair: But you moved on

Jo: And so will you...

I kinda take that as meaning whenever you're let down by someone you love or respect you just have to move on with your life and realize that people make mistakes...

If anyone has that scene word for word I would REALLY APPRECIATE it if you'd post it...

I guess I can relate to New York, New York because I know what it's like for friends to change and not have much in common with you anymore.

iluvjoandnancy4eva · 02-08-2002, 08:24 PM

Well, maybe not whole eps, but little parts in em. Like stuff that one of the characters does or says.

Kristina · 02-14-2002, 12:51 AM

I can relate to "The Affair" because my dad cheated on my mom and they're in the process of getting a divorce. Alot of the things on FOL I feel I can relate to.

julian bozo · 02-14-2002, 09:59 AM

The episode Breaking Point.
I guess because I realized how important life is & that sometimes we take it for granted. I hate that episode. It is so sad.

Really? Its my second favorite episode. It is sad though. I always get a chill at the very end when Mrs. Garrett turns the light off in Cynthia's room and then the credits start rolling without the clapping at the end.

Beruche · 02-14-2002, 05:04 PM

Okay this is going to sound stupid but....I can relate to that episode from the first season where Sue Ann and Nancy get their IQ test scores and Sue Ann has the lowest well I know how that feels. A little to well too....

I can relate to Cousin Geri because I have mild cerebral palsy. Some kids on the school bus mistreated me because I was in special education. They didn't know me.
