Decades Marathon - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Impressions · 02-18-2018, 08:53 PM

For anyone that gets the Decades network, they're running a marathon of the show all weekend long.

From the website:

"All weekend, enjoy a "binge" of Facts of Life on Decades!
In this spinoff of Diff'rent Strokes, the Drummonds' former housekeeper, Edna Garrett (Charlotte Rae), starts a new life as a housemother at Eastland School, a private all-girls boarding school. Included in her care are Blair (Lisa Whelchel), "Tootie" (Kim Fields), Natalie (Mindy Cohn) and Jo (Nancy McKeon). With the guidance of Mrs. Garrett, the girls take on tough coming-of-age issues throughout the series' nine-season run."

I watched an episode last night and will probably watch some more tonight. They had a Diff’rent Strokes marathon last week and I watched some of that too. I hope they have another marathon of both of these shows sometime later in the year.

I caught a bunch of episodes, including the two-part “Graduation” episode and was again impressed by how masterful it was. It would have made for a very satisfying series finale, and in fact, was a lot more satisfying than the actual series finale five years later.
