Post Favorite episode?

What is your favorite FACTS OF LIFE episode(s)? This is so hard because there are so many great episodes. If I had to pick I would pick episode 79. That's when the girls hold the all night study for finals. Natalie's hat is so funny! In a close second is "New Girl" 1 & 2.

Aye, I agree. So many great episodes! But one of my favorites was epsisode #49(?). " New York , New York" You see Jo being the strong and good willed person she really is and how sweet she really is and how much she cares about her friends, including Blair, whom she worries about when she is late, and helps with her bags. And you even see the little miss domestic , nice side of Blair.

Hands down, it would be the episode
when Beverly Ann dreams of Blair killing everyone else during a thunderstorm. And the guy saying: "Tootie, I just love saying, Tootie" was classic! A close second would be when the girls meet El Debarge and sing with him.

I would have to say the one where they drink wine and beer and where jo says "I got beer!" I also like New girl one and two. The one where she has to move out of her dorm is good too.

Members & Moderators,

I was born on June 13, 1972 in Texas, USA.

I remember watching THE FACTS OF LIFE when it was first debuting on television. I have seen countless episodes of THE FACTS OF LIFE during my life. I cannot exactly say for sure which ones are my favorites.

But, I do like the one where Jo and Blair go to New York, New York USA to be with their friends.

But, I think the all night study for exams episode is the best. Yes, I remember those kinds of hats. They were quiet popular in the 1980s. Do, I feel old.

The funniest episode would have to be the Finals episode. Thats just hilarious. So is the one when they get off probation.

How do you name just one favorite episode? I do have to mention when the girls paint the room and have the huge painting fight. The finals one is a riot, the drinking one with jo saying," i got beer" was hysterical. The earlier one from first season when the girls do the oija board,the one where natalie locks her diary in her locker and cant find the combination so jo opens it and says," i got it open" natalie asks how, and jo says," i got it open." she always makes you think, what she will do next...i love them

My fave episode is probably the one where Jo gets Natalie's locker open and Nat says
"How did u get it open?" and Jo says
"I got it open!" It's really very cute when u see it or the graduation episodes or the study episode. Natalie is hilarious in that one!

My favorite episode is definitely the one where Tootie almost gets sold into prostitution in New York.
by the way, the action in that episode takes place in the same grubby NY diner set as the episode where Jo and Blair go back to New York to meet their old friends...

My favorite episode(of many)has to be when the girls go to the drive-in. I love this one because it brings back good childhood memories of going to the drive-in. A close second would have to be the one where Jo starts her own pizza business. Everytime I see that episode, I get a craving for homemade pizza!

Pizza? Dont get me started. I used to get cravings for Pizza also. That is my favorite episode from that season, next to one in which Blair rebells against Mrs. Garrett.
