Facts of Life Valentine's Day themed show - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

One of my favorite late season episodes. Past boyfriends and stalkers come back to visit the girls.

It's not bad for a holiday episode, in the same tradition as the Halloween episode.

I do get the feeling of close friendship between the Core Four, and it's nice that the episode gives Beverly Ann something to do. And it's nice seeing Cliff, Jeff, and Roy once more.

I wish they had actually shown any customers in the damn store. The only people coming in are either working there or visiting someone who works there. No one ever buys anything, making the girls' massive Valentine's Day-themed merch useless. Since Roy picks up Valentine's Day candy for Jo, why couldn't they have shown him purchase it at the shop?

It's one of my favorite episodes too. It really felt like a "Throwback episode", with characters who haven't been on the show for a long time

Plus the writers for this episode were all from the first season. They were not newbies who ruined parts of "The Little Chill".

I enjoy this episode, and it was so great to see them bring Roy back! It's such a surprise this late in the series after he'd been gone for so long.
