Too Much Blair And Jo In The Final Seasons - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

My favorite FOL girl was Natalie. She was funny, witty, cheerful, and had the BEST personality out of the four girls, IMO. FOL will always be one of my favorite 80s sitcoms, but in the final couple of seasons (particularly the last one) I really felt there was too much emphasis on the Jo and Blair characters and less on Natalie and Tootie. One thing I always liked about the early seasons is that the girls all got equal amounts of airtime and storylines (minus the first season). The final seasons, the storylines mainly focused on the Jo and Blair characters, with a scene of Nat and Toot and Beverly Ann and Andy thrown in here and there. Would have been nice if the writers gave equal amounts of airtime to all of the characters.

I understand your point of view but you have to realize that what kept the show was the interaction between BLAIR & JO (the writers were planing to cancel the show after season 1) who were constantly on rivalry lol!

This is because they were by far the best actresses and IMO, the only reason to watch.
