Store setting: Edna's Edibles or Over Our Heads - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Not going by the quality of the episodes, just by visually which store do you like more.

I like the Over Our Heads store because it reminds me of the Spencer Gifts and Little World stores of the 80s. I used to love going in those and when I watch The Facts of Life, Over Our Heads just screams the 1980s which makes the show even more nostalgic for me.

No question: Edna's Edibles was homey, cozy, and delicious. Over Our Heads was a tacky rip-off of Spencer's. Even Edna herself didn't stick around long once she witnessed the monstrosity her girls had created. "Girls, I... I've suddenly married and I'm moving to Africa," she declared.

OOH was fun, it just wasn't "The Facts of Life".

I never understood Over Our Heads. Didn't it almost open and close on the same day? Also, at one point didn't it disappear with no explanation, other than it got converted into Andy's bedroom? It seems like it was only there for visual appeal because it was hip and trendy for the decade but I don't think there was a lot they could do with it plot wise, and got rid of it. Edna's Edibles I liked too, but those episodes could get a little boring. So since we're going with visual appeal, I choose Over Our Heads.

Edna’s Edibles definitely had that home feeling that was great for a while. Over Our Heads was known for being hip with the times. So, I’m going with Over Our Heads for visuality.

I just started watching Season 7 and UGH, I cannot stand the "new" look of the show. That store is awful and it does look like a rip off of Spencer's. It's VERY 80's, that's for sure with the pastel green, blue and pink but it's too gaudy. I don't know how they could make any money because there's nothing in that store that I would want to buy (except for the few panda items!). I definitely prefer Edna's Edibles by a landslide.
