These are the 4 girls I would have kept after season 1

[TVFactFan]

Blair, Nancy, Sue Ann and Tootie


All the rest would have been told their services are no longer needed.


Nancy and Sue Ann were actually better looking than Blair and wonder if they were even chosen for anything else. I think Nancy was best looking one


BTW: I created this thread because I am watching it now since I am working from home

Nancy was attractive. But her character didn't add anything to the show, Natalie and Jo were a lot more integral in the long run. I agree Sue Ann was let go too early.

She mentions it here (from 2021)

>>>Another standout moment on her resume was her appearance on a 1983 episode of Three’s Company, where she worked with the late John Ritter. Regarding the experience, she explained; “I was so excited that I actually got to work with John and Joyce (Dewitt)! John was such a sweet and kind gentleman, and so humble about giving suggestions. In a way, I was bummed that we did our scene so well and it was done in just a couple of takes…it was almost like I wished I had messed up more so that I would’ve been able to stay longer on the set! (Laughs). From what I could tell by just briefly stepping into it, they had created such a great ‘family,’ which is what you end up doing when you’re on a series with a long run. But John had such a great positive energy to him, and it was just a sheer gem working with him. I will always feel blessed for that.”<<<

Felice played Phillip McKeon's date in the Easter episode where Tommy moved in with Mel. Nancy McKeon appeared twice on the show.

I think they made the right choices with who stayed and who left and who was added. Even though Blair stayed her character changed. She acted mean like a slut in the first few episodes and her mother was a rich tramp married 3 times. In episode 2 Blair confronts her mother and breaks down saying she wants to not turn out just like her.

I like how they just grounded Blair for being rich, spoiled and attractive
Jo really added dynamic with a regular lower income class to go head to head with Blair
Natalie was the chubby friendly one trying to figure out life
Tootie was the cute adorable one trying to act more grown up

It worked well IMHO. There is a thread posted here about a year ago from one of the writers. They were tasked with revamping the show. The writers could not understand they are in upstate NY or New England and the girls were always running around in shorts. They cleverly wrote how the girls interacted with each other rather than one plot and each girl gets a few lines. The revamp really worked IMHO.

No love for Natalie? Seriously?

Which made the crossovers unrealistic between FOL and DS since Manhattan wasnt nowhere near Upstate NY

It’s not that bad. Manhattan to Peekskill is about an hour by car, bus, or train. I’ve done it.

I still buy it. Drummond was rich. Put Arnold in a private car/cab, have him driven directly to the school. Or put him on a bus or train with Mrs. Garrett waiting at the station. It was only an hour. Not like he was hitchhiking there.
