Default What if......

Mrs. Garrett never left Diff'rent Strokes?

The show was never picked up for a second season?

Tootie was forced to wear her skates for the rest of the shows run?

Blair wasn't rich and had to move away?

Jo never came to Eastland, instead Nancy took the 3 girls to the Chugalug bar?

Natalie refused to go to the Chugalug Bar, therefore, only Jo, Blair, and Tootie lived above the cafeteria while Nat lived w/ Nancy, Cindy, and Molly, but they still occasionally showed her?

Would YOU be on these boards??

But that is a good way of looking at it. One of those things happening could have 'doomed' ' the series!

Nope. If Mrs. G never left DS would there have been an FOL? If the show had never been picked up for a second season, that means 'No Jo'. Iffff Jo never came to Eastland that also means 'No Jo' and the only reason I ever starting liking FOL was b/c of Jo(well, Jo wouldnt be Jo without the wonderful Nancy, right?) Soooo.....I wouldn't be here.

Of course not. Because actually the other night, I had a dream of how FOL would be without Mrs. Garrett.....

And let me tell you, it wasn't pleasant.

If Mrs. Garrett never left DS, I doubt there'll be a FOL, well they could of used someone else, but Charlotte Rae's the best! Anyways if she didn't leave, we wouldn't have to worry about the rest of those questions, and no I don't think I'd be on this message board.

If Charlotte Never left Different strokes there wouldn't of been a FOL because the whole reason there WAS a FOL was because NBC promised Charlotte her own series and thats why FOL was made...So no I wouldnt be here and neither would the board lol
