FOL , Golden Girls, Diff'rent Strokes...and others!! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Okay, so, I was talking about this with Jessie one day, and, I thought I'd post it...

Can you think of shows that are connected to FOL? Not like, shows that have mentioned FOL, but, for instance, FOL and GG are connected because, in 1954 Charlotte Rae worked with Bea Arthur in "The Three Penny Opera." Coincedentally, John Astin(Vito) was ALSO in TPO. Before FOL, Charlotte Rae and Conrad Bain, who guest starred in the first FOL ep, worked together...(actually, even before Diff'rent Strokes, they were both in "Bananas")

What others can you name??

Mr. Drummond (Conrad Bain) from Diff'rent Strokes (it's Spin-of Facts of Life) He was a guest star on Facts of Life)
Conrad Bain was on Maude for protraying his role as Arthur Harmon for his character wife Vivan Harmon (Rue McClanahan)

He was on both series- Conrad Bain-(Diff'rent Strokes)-(Maude)-(Guest Stared on Facts of Life)

And Dana Plato was on Diff'rent Strokes and her character family visited Eastland to meet Dana Plato and the Facts of Life Girls were with her. (This was on Diff'rent Strokes, not Facts of Life)

Another Spin-off from Diff'rent Strokes, was Hello Larry and Facts of Life (ofcourse) but their not really related just that their spin-offs)

It all connects.

Charlotte Rae guest starred in an episode of "Diagnosis Murder" with Dick Van Dyke. That's the only one I can think of right now.

Kim Fields was on a few episodes of Good Times.

Ooh, Kim Fields played Roland's girlfriend on Golden Palace, spin off of Golden Girls! I've never seen the episode though.
