Edna's Edibles or Over Our Heads?

[Wawwie]

I really liked the Edna's Edibles food store. I HATED Over Our Heads which was beyond stupid IMO especially all those tacky chachkis that were for sale. Who would ever want that crappy junk? The gals should have rebuilt Edna's Edibles Gourmet Food Shop after the fire.

Well it is a "fact " that we voted, even if the sticker doesn't say "Facts" !

I prefer the Dorm Years and the Cafeteria Years, but if we're limited to these two choices, Edna's Edibles was way better than Over Our Heads. I do remember being very excited about OOH and the new theme song, as a kid, but what did I know? I was, like, 10!

Yeah, they're just polling about between the 2 stores on the series.

Hey, it was the '80s---we were impressionable!

After the fire, I wonder if Mrs. Garrett's son Raymond got any of the insurance money since he's the one who bought the store. IMO, it was like a slap in the face to him when they rebuilt with Over Our Heads because Raymond wanted his mom to do what she loved best which is cooking and creating. Over Our Heads was beyond tacky. I always wondered.... WHY???

Oooooo, that's a great point about Raymond!

Although, Mrs. Garrett did say she felt the time for EE had come and gone (though most fans would disagree!).

Because it was the '80s, and Spencer's Gifts was hot, while quiche and soufflés were somehow out. It was a time when TV network executives were so obsessed with coke parties and pastel-colored clothes with huge shoulder pads, that all TV shows began to resemble Miami Vice.

Big mistake. Vibes like that do not stand the test of time. They should have stuck with Edna's Edibles.

It's kinda funny, because while Spencer's had cool toys for kids, like that "Pin Art" device, I don't actually remember FOL showing anything cool or innovative. It's like the girls only invested in the worst items, like the Red Thing.
