who said she had a thing against jo? I mean i Like season 1 just as much as I like the other season (with the exception of 8 and 9) and i liek Jo... A lot... but It's just that they were much more funier without Jo threatening somebody (although that was the best part!!

) But just becuase i like season one a lot doesnt mean i hate jo!! I like season 1 and jo just fine!!

------------------
jo: mrs. g gone on ahead I KNOW i can fix the problem

To quote Jo in the 14th episode...
"In a minute you're gonna be wearing flared teeth."

12-26-2000, 12:20 AM

Seasons 8 & 9 are my favorites. (except for 2) Probably because Bev was there. No offense, cuz know a lot of you hate Beverly Ann but IMO, Beverly Ann was a whole lot more... how shall I put this? Spontaneous than Mrs. Garrett. She was really funny and Mrs. G got kinda predictable. Now, I don't have anything against Mrs. G, I just like Bev better. Besides, Charlotte Rae decided to move on.

FOL85NatandMrsGRock · 12-26-2000, 12:50 AM

I understand that you may like beverly ann more than mrs. garrett.. I will admit that beverly was a lot more "fun" than mrs. g at times and it was really hard to find those two sister or friends in real life.. but charlotte has that side to her too... they just never let her show it on fol... but I don't go and say im mad at you cuz you dont liek mrs. g or charlotte... that is your opinoin and i respect that, and im sure you respect that i like nat and mrs. g better than i liek jo but i STLL liek jo... so you cant go and sayign your gonna loosen their teeth cuz they don't liek Jo as much as you... I am trying to say this in the nicest way possible... I liek jo czu i relate to her and all.. but in a way i am kinda glad that i don't liek jo cuz i am UNIQUE and liek somebody that many people don't liek... Charlotte... and She is awsome in my opinoin.. but yes... nancy and the jo character are cool too... but i just think that charlotte is better and has worked harder to get where she is than nancy, but that doesnt make her anymore famous or less famous or less of a person becuase of it!

we all have our own opinoins and we shodul all live with them!

Yeah, seasons 8 and 9 were my favorites too. And I also liked Beverly Ann more than Mrs G. But Sarah Lynn is right, we do need to respect everyone else's opinions. I personally don't like Jo too much. I mean, I don't love her, don't hate her. I'm just kinda neutral. Nat and Blair were the best in my opinion, so I don't mind season 1 at all. It's different, but it was still cute.

"Well that would be pretty stupid considering your name's Shirley!" -Laverne

peacekiks · 12-26-2000, 08:03 AM

My fav seasons start around when tootie gets her braces off and natalie changes the color of her hair

------------------
Blair: And maybe if your real good Aunt Natalie will let you type
something...hmmm.
Natalie: If she's that good she can type the whole damn thing.

Pippa: Why do they call 'em deviled eggs?
Natalie: 'Cuz they're a hell of a lotta work.

The Obsolete Man · 12-27-2000, 12:12 PM

Oh Joy...

the first 13 episodes... well, 12 on N@N's schedule.

We get to see once again what I call "plot device Tootie".

It's true... Tootie was only there to do something which moved the plot along. Whether it be stealing IQ Scores, or going out to the barn to get her wabbits, or saying "there's gonna be trouble". There was no substance to the first Tootie... she was just a plot device.

I am also apathetic to Jo. I'mn way more of a Blair fan. And if you can't accept that, you can... Turn Blue!

Heh.

ks · 12-27-2000, 02:38 PM

I'm not to fond of the first season. I think they should have entitled the first season the "Giggly Girls", because in my opinion there wasn't even a real storyline to anything.
Jo, is my favorite character and I believe she brought spice and humor to the show, but she also enabled them to bring up some 'serious' issues. Such as marriage(Eddie) and being less fortunate. Of course as Natalie said everyone is 'less fortunate' once you compare them to Blair...
I also think Jo brought out a different side to Blair because she stood up to Blair.

Those are just my opinions though! I can't wait to see all the episodes again!

------------------
*************************
Hopper: You know I am really a shy kind of guy,but I have been watching you from across the cabin,and I said to myself,"Hopper don't let this one slip away!"

Jo: You know I have been watching you too.You have a lot to be shy about!
*************************
Beverly Ann: Let's see. It's tomorrow in Africa so if I want to talk to Edna today then I should have called her yesterday...
*************************
Natalie: It's a busy day for me. I have to go down to the newspaper office, get a lung transplant...
*************************
Blair: But if I'm not perfect... and that's a *BIG* if, then it wasn't his place to say so.

Jo: You're right. It's my place to say so.

Michele35 · 12-27-2000, 04:03 PM

I agree with Obsolete Man about Tootie being merely a plot device in Season 1 but in many ways I think all the girls were. I remember Season 1 when I was a girl and just being excited that there was a new show featuring other girls like me. Now when I look back on the first season there was really no character definition or any real storylines.

Many say that Jo made the show and I agree that Jo was a great character but I think that the writing was also much better in Season 2 and that had alot to do with the overall improvement of the show imo.

iluvfacts14 · 12-27-2000, 04:08 PM

Well, no matter what, it's only 7 hrs till showtime...LOL
