Did Anyone else find Tootie Annoying??? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I LOVE The Facts Of Life....but I can't stand it when Tootie is on. Out of all the other girls to keep on the show from the first season, why oh why did they choose her? Sure,she was cute in the first season....but after that, even in the later seasons, she was still trying to act cute, like she was still a little girl on roller skates. Maybe it was the writing, maybe it was Kim Fields awful acting (she always sounded like Tootie was going to have a panic attack with her heavy breathing when she wouldn't shut up). Funny how Tootie always wanted to be an actress.......when Kim Field's acting was medicore at best. JMO.....and hello to all

You are probably talking about the 1st 2 seasons, but after that the character matured.

Didn't seem like she matured to me. But, then again, Tootie was always a drama queen.

I agree with everyone so far: TOOTIE was definitely my least favourite & her acting was only good on season 1(which is why she probably got chosen to continue on the next season). My favourite of all the girls is BLAIR (she is so good at expressing herself & also a flirt). My other favourite is MRS. G (her acting is superb & her chemistry with the girls is powerful).

Yeah, she was pretty irritating the first few years. The Jermaine Jackson episode was an all-time low.

Gotta agree with you there too, Catlover79

catlover79 · 03-02-2013, 07:13 PM

That episode was pure pain - easily my least favorite of all the FOL eps.

Ihavealife2uknow · 03-02-2013, 07:14 PM

The first four seasons she was really annoying. She mellowed out a bit afterwards but had her moments. She was my least favorite of the core five through the entire series.

Yeah, mine too. The only episode I really liked and found her funny in was the one where they all played out an episode of The Twilight Zone

JoPol_wannabe · 03-03-2013, 11:32 AM

Tootie wasn't that bad I liked her. And she had a few good eps like the one where she learns to drive, the one where she's meets Jeff's grandmother, 7 little Indians and I didn't mind the Jermain Jackson ep even though my fav line was when Mrs G was looking for Tootie and said has anyone seen a young black girl, and a bunch of black Girls turn around and look at her like are you kidding. And I always loved it when Tootie said were in ttttrrrrooouuubbbllleee.

I remember that one. They should have taken her to a therapist after that episode.

TVFactFan · 03-03-2013, 12:01 PM

I found her more annoying on Different Strokes

SneakerBoom · 03-03-2013, 08:58 PM

Tootie was extremely annoying and Kim Fields is a terrible actress.
