Post Jo in a ponytail once more

the episode aired at 10 and 2 am (I missed the 10 airing cause I was at work) showed Jo in a ponytail for the first time since 84. And Natalie was hysterical incognito as Natasha.

I also think that Lisa looked younger in that episode than she did as a teen.

Thats dumb. She didn't look any younger, she looked older. But I do agree that so did have a pony tail in.

Hey J_Marie, why do you think other people's opinion is dumb? Maybe you can find a more tactful way to disagree, like say "In my opinion..." but just because it's a different opinion doesn't mean it's dumb.

As for the ponytail, personally I like Jo's hair down...she looks more feminine that way. I think she looked best the last couple of seasons. As for Blair...she seemed to lose a little weight during the last seasons, which is probably why she might seem younger.

Everyone may have an opinion, and its cool to voice it, but please have the decency not to criticize another's opinion and call it dumb. Why create conflict? It's not necessary! Arguing with somone you probably don't even know personally. Jo's ponytail is not worth getting angry over. Especially since she hasn't worn it in that style since 1984. Let's just chill and post messages and respect the others who post on this board.

well, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But you SHOULD be respectful of others opinions, instead of saying something like "that's dumb". Especially since I know a lot of people who agreed that Lisa Whelchel still looked like a teenager toward the end of the show when she was in her mid-20's by then.

I agree John. I don't mind if you don't agree with me or anyone else...that doesn't matter. What matters is how you disagree. We're mature people who can agree to disagree in a respectful manner.

everyone is entitled to their own opinion but, we need to respect everyones opinion.

I personally did not like the little ponytail thing the other night. It looked dumb. I mean it was just like for the heck of it throw it up. but when they had it half up the other night that wasn't bad.

This is supposed to be a message board. Let's just have fun and quit getting caught up in offending other people. It's like every 5 seconds somebody's gotta argue with someone else that has little meaning. We are just talking about The Facts of Life. Don't get me wrong, I love the show but don't let it be the root of conflict. It's not worth getting into a huff over.

Considering it was the 80's then her hair looked absolutely fine. I thought that considering a lot of the people in the 80's made themselves to look like dorks Jo brought herself out to be lovely. Especially her hair!
