The Facts of Life: Behind Closed Doors - New special premieres on Sunday, March 8 at 9pm ET/ 6pm PT. You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have the hit show that became a staple of the '80s television line up. The Facts of Life was a female-centric spinoff of the popular show Diff'rent Strokes and its authentic stories, great characters and unforgettable theme song made The Facts of Life a culture touchstone and staple in living rooms across America for nine seasons. In The Facts of Life: Behind Closed Doors viewers get an inside look at the show that gave audiences a glimpse into the adolescent struggles and triumphs of boarding school girls all under the loving care of housemother Edna Garrett. Cast members Julie Haddock, Felice Schachter, Julie Piekarski along with creatives behind the series including the casting director, producers, writers and its longtime director share their stories from the set and recall how the early days of the series were tumultuous and success was by no means a given with an unwieldy initial cast and the tough decisions to whittle the cast down to the four who made the show a hit in Tootie, Blair, Natalie and Jo. The Facts of Life: Behind Closed Doors is produced by Peacock Productions.

Mr. Bradley and Geri Jewell appear as well. I never seen anything from the Core Four or later seasons cast members that they are on it. This is definitely something for First Season fans and fans of the Lost Girls.

I look forward to seeing the Julies and Felice, and of course also seeing John Lawlor and Geri Jewel, recount their days on FOL. I think it's very likely we'll see some of the Core Four as well.

Sad to see we won't be hearing from Molly, but I'm not surprised. Getting to see Julie Anne, Julie Pie, and Felice all at the same time is a rare treat: one we haven't seen since "The Little Chill".

I never seen any of the Core Four mention taking part in this on social media.

According to the electronic schedule, the documentary is two hours long. TWO HOURS LONG!

Oh, I look forward to Molly's part in this!! (I'm being optimistic

).

And for me, it's the first time seeing the Julies and Felice "really" together since season 4! (since TLC is so "fish out of water" for me)

I actually just had to upgrade to a higher package, since my satellite provider doesn't have Reelz in its $59 per month package deal. You better believe I'm going to try to watch. I'm setting my DVR again.

When were the Julies and Felice in Season Four?!

Well, a surprise appearance by Molly would be cool, but I wouldn't count on it.

You have to. What would you do if you missed it?? (though someone would surely upload it)

Fine, "season 3"---the "cafeteria years" at any rate!

Whether she's taken part or not, it will still be so cool to have her seen and mentioned!

I don't think so, but you can check if an app will allow you to watch Reelz. It's carried on streaming service Sling TV, and Reelz Now for Apple devices. Good luck, Valentina!
