I have generally been enjoying GAC Family's 12-3 block of The Facts of Life when I can see it. But some episodes like the Academy's 2nd one in season 4 I am blacklisting and won't bother watching again. Besides Natalie, the other girls were barely in it and even she was background to the boys at the academy. I didn't really care for their season 3 episode either, but the reprise was worse with the boxing theme. I agree with their nurse it is a disgusting sport.

These were potential pilot episodes that never got picked up.

Yeah, that's one of my least favorite episodes as well. And I too am anti-boxing (really, anti-any-injuring-sport).

Oh, and I love your thread title.
