Default Out of the Fire

I remember this when I watched in 1985! This is the first time seeing it since then.

Blair's hair though. I know it was the mid 80's but---

She looks like she stuck her finger in a light socket.

I just don't buy Mrs. G not wanting to rebuild Edna's Edibles again. She was SO excited when she opened that store just 2 years ago. I think she's be jumping to get things back up and running again.

And her son owned the store, so he'd be the one updating the insurance policy, not her. Remember, she was just renting it from him when she first opened it.

I forgot it was Nat & Tootie's idea to do the kitsch shop. Those things she pulled out of the bag were butt ugly! I can't believe Jo & Blair got on board so quickly with that concept....to basically sell ugly junk.

I'm really liking Natalie more and more. I love her independence and she seems to have matured a lot in the last couple of seasons.

Does Blair's hair stay like that for the whole season?! Please say it doesn't...the beautiful flowing puffiness has been replaced with electrical socket hair.

Tootie kept raving about her hair change....but...it looked pretty much the same as it did in season 6 to me.

I can't get 'OUT OF THE FIRE' on YouTube! (they don't have it) so i can't watch it!

But: i remember watching it about 10 years ago (YouTube still had it) and not not liking BLAIR's hair either!

I also hated the fact that MRS G didn't seem 'upset' at all about the fire, and just said "I was getting tired of 'Edna's Edibles' anyway)???

I only like the end: when all girls are standing in the kitchen with their thoughts (BLAIR is thinking "I love you Mrs Garret, but is it going to last until Tuesday?. NAT thoughts are "[I]Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday... Are we finished yet? And the other two i can't remember) and MRS G says to them " To a new partnership!"

Did i get that right? (i mean, from what i can remember?)

Yeah, Blair's is right, Natalie was counting down the days till her Venice trip. ....Now I can't remember what Jo and Tootie were thinking!

I LOL'd when Natalie was thinking about how Tootie rambles and also of her upcoming trip while Tootie was going on and on and then Tootie looks over at Natalie who continues with her thoughts and it's like Tootie can hear every word going on in her head. The visual of that was just so funny.

Valentina, you don't have season 7 dvd?!

I think season 7 is starting off good though. I don't like how Mrs. G just gave up on her gourmet shop so quickly, but I really liked the whole episode overall. I'll be watching each one now wondering where it's all gonna take it's bad turn.

I'll just have to endure it. The thing is it's not really a bad hairstyle (for the mid 80's) it's just so NOT Blair who's much more classic and conservative in her style rather than hip.

Valentina, you don't have season 7 dvd?!

Nope, i don't have season 7 (i only got the DVDs from season 1 to 6) but i know most episodes are on youTube: it's just that before i get to it, i'd really like to watch 'OUT OF FIRE', cos it's a crucial episode, so i'll have to wait and see how i am gonna get to it.....

The thing is, i cannot watch it on Daily motion either, cos UK doesn't accept it, so i'll keep searching online for the 'Out of fire' episode until i can continue with the rest of season 7 lol!

PS: brace yourself, cos GEORGE CLOONEY is also one of the main ones on season 7 i remember! (no BEVERLY ANN yet)

The season 7 dvd is only $7.80 right now on Amazon...at least in the U.S. Is it the same over there in the UK? Or do you guys have a different website for it? ...Ok, I just Googled Amazon UK and you do have your own Amazon.

Season 7 over there costs 28.94 (I think it's in euros? Or pounds?!) Still so much! Yikes.

And George Clooney yes, i'm bracing myself!

At least he's only on for 17 episodes.

What??? How come it's so cheap in the USA and so expensive in the UK?

We take 'pounds' (Euros is in most European countries)

In that case, i'll see if i can buy it from USA AMAZON (Only if they accept to ship it to the UK)

And if it works, i might even get season 8 and 9 (just to see BEVERLY ANN make a fool of herself)

For $7.80 i'm tempted to buy it myself, but I really want to get that complete set so i'll hold back and save my money for that. I hope you'll be able to get it for that price. Even to ship to the UK, it should be much less than what the UK Amazon is selling it for.

For a second I got confused and thought you were talking about me lol. (My name is Christopher too. But keep calling me by cfr1970 so there no confusion!).

Does he like Beverly Ann?...I really shouldn't make fun of her since it's been a while since i've seen her episodes. I hated Andy back then, but he doesn't annoy me at all now. So maybe i'll like the old spiky haired lady this time around.

Yes, the real Edna Garrett would have reopened her shop. However, she was replaced by Pod Person Edna Garrett between seasons. The PPED doesn't care about her shop, got tired of making her delicious quiche and apple strudel, and now wants to open a kitsch shop. The real Edna is tied up in the kitchen, struggling against her bonds, but the girls don't even notice.

YEP.

Glad you are enjoying Natalie.

I am enjoying your discussions of the episodes. I look forward to them rolling back around to Season One.
