Nancy McKeon to be interviewed tonight - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

80s Dude · 06-18-2020, 01:01 PM

Nancy M. will be interviewed tonight (6/18/2020). I think this is the first interview since Phillip's death. Apparently this guy appeared on one episode of the Facts of Life.

Now the main question is what 6 PM Time Zone this guy is talking about.

Oo, interesting, thanks for the note...and his radio show is in Las Vegas, so it's 6 p.m. mountain time.

KKUL website in Las Vegas.

Oh, and he appeared in 3 episodes. He was "Flyman".

I don't think I ever saw an episode with Flyman.

They're in the Over Our Heads years. When the girls fly down to Florida for the spring break 2-parter, and then when they go to Atlantic City in an episode later on.

80s Dude · 06-18-2020, 02:19 PM

After the Eastland years (I graduated the same time as Blair and Jo), I went to college/univerity and didn't have much time to watch TV. About the only thing I watched was sports and Cheers between classes, activities, part time jobs.

'80sSitcoms · 06-18-2020, 02:22 PM

Cool, you were going along through school with the girls. "Cheers" is so good. My favorite character is Lilith.

80s Dude · 06-18-2020, 05:04 PM

Norm was my favorite.

80s Dude · 06-18-2020, 05:06 PM

My father worked at a boarding school (for boys), so I do have lots of connection to this show. I had friends from that school. I didn't go.

'80sSitcoms · 06-18-2020, 05:44 PM

Cool. 👍

'80sSitcoms · 06-18-2020, 08:08 PM

Hey! You said it was 6 pm! It's 7!

(okay I'm not really mad, but I did already have my evening planned, lol)

Florida was towards the end of last season of Edna's Edibles.

It's nice to know he keeps in touch with Nancy. Everyone talks about her reputation being angry on the set. It obviously wasn't as severe as people make it sound since there's people from the show who talk to her still.

Ah, well, I'm not as sharp on my knowledge with the details of the later years. My heart is in the Eastland years.

(but at least I was close, lol)

Does he? I just assumed they hadn't been in touch since FOL and he reached out to her to be on his show.

Hey, I'm part of "everyone", and I don't!

I've only observed others talk about it, since I've never seen any of the sources that mention it.

If it was true, maybe it was just a phase?

Not even season 5, the darkest season of the series?

Gonna be honest, if a coworker from a previous job years ago wanted to hang or talk and I haven't seen them since we worked together, I would say no

I'm not antisocial, I just don't see the point of visiting with someone who you hadn't seen in years. Losing contact with someone is usually a thing done on purpose because they didn't mean that much to keep around as a friend. I'm assuming these two must have stayed in contact and that's how he knew how to reach her after all these years.

I go by the Shannen Doherty rule when hearing gossip of actresses and actors. If someone was really a pain to work with, multiple people would be speaking out about it like they did with Shannen. Charlie Sheen went through that with Two & A Half Men. Roseanne went through that when she was fired. Bea Arthur went through that with The Golden Girls. I don't hear any other actors and actresses speak negative of Nancy in a way that shows she's an angry person to work with.

Haha, well since I love the Eastland years so much, I do like season 5 a lot because it's stretching Mrs. Garrett on new wings taking her from her familiar cafeteria to new horizons being her own businesswoman off campus "in town". And it's fun to see the girls adjust to their worlds changing with college and a new store to work in.

I see it more as a thing that "just happens". It's kinda like Natalie says in "Graduation", people say they'll keep in touch, but they don't. I haven't been in touch with my college best friend in several years, but if we connected again, I'd totally be up for getting together and hanging out if we met up somewhere near one of our towns.

Possibly, sure. I just wouldn't really see them staying in touch since they only worked together a few times. And people love to reach out to grab good guests for radio shows and podcasts, so maybe they haven't been in touch. But you never know! lol

It was writer and now satirist Andy Borowitz who said Nancy M. was nicknamed "Angry Jo" by the writers. From her contract hold out to Alex Rocco saying she once threw a script across a room, there appears to be validity to the Angry Jo claims.
