These are why I hate the first season girls..except for Blair Natalie and Tootie.

*Sue Ann has the most ANNOYING voice in the world!!!!!!!!!!

*Cindy just doesn't fit in

*I forgot her name..the red hed one..shes just..ack..

Thats very interesting BlairW_09. I just don't like the first season because Jo isn't in it. I simply go nuts If I can't look at Jo every day.Luckly I had printed several pictures of her off the internet days before it started over so I didn't have to get placed in the loony bin-yet LOL. But your right, the first season just wasn't that good.

JoBlaiRNaTooT · 01-11-2001, 04:39 PM

yeah, they all bugged me, too. (no offense to ppl who like the 1st season people). even in last nite's ep, sue ann was like yelling her whole 2 lines. molly ringwald seemed a little bit better as an actress, but she still wasn't that great. lol. i thought cindy was ok, but like u said, she didn't really fit in. and nancy (is that her name? with the roger boyfriend?) was just really annoying. lol.

Actualy I kind of liked Cindy and Nancy but It just isn't right without Jo.

*I forgot her name..the red hed one..shes just..ack..

Her name is Molly Ringwald(ring a bell) she was once considered miss teenage america after she left the show and became a household movie star!

Nancy, cindy and sueann were needed to keep balance in the show and should of made alot more cameos to make eastland more realistic. This was a girls school after all with more than four students! i though they all were good considering how the writers treated there characters.

I liked the first season girls and the first season is actually my second favorite

::awaits attacks by other board members::

I liked it when they cameod and stuff...and it is kinda cool knowing that someone who started on "Facts" became a movie star. I liked the whole "Roger" concept because i always love offscreen characters.....Jenny Picalo...Mr Bell....the door man from Rhoda

------------------
If "The Facts Of Life" were all about you, why weren't u ever on the show?

Jo_Polniaczek · 01-12-2001, 05:02 PM

Yeah I know what you mean about Sue Ann havin an annoying voice....
My Social Studies teacher has that same voice and some times I just wanna punch her!

sue ann drives me crazy, nancy...ugh, molly sings sooooooo annoyingly, and cindy...what is her purpose? lol

coily2 · 01-12-2001, 09:19 PM

I don't even watch the first season. I don't think that it has anything to do with the girls, its just that the writing is so horrible.

Fol_divison_rox_505 · 01-12-2001, 11:08 PM

please before i say what i am going to say please dont ALL jump down my thoart.... FIRST SEASON ROCKS!!
HEHE! well its not my favorite season, not really even close to my favorite season but i still like it a lot...althought it kinda sucked with out jo...but thats not the point...!

------------------
Nat: Hello sailor!

Tootie: hot stuff coming through, and the pizza's are warm too!

Jinny: if you pinch my a$$ one more time, i'll kick your's

Jinny: i think i am going to give up men
Magda: you, give up sex?
Jinny: i didn't say i was giving up sex, i just said i was giving up men! to tell you the truth i kinda like the idea of becoming intamate with something that comes with a money-back gaurentee!

Blair: thunder thighs is hanging up her spikes...
Sue Ann: and you just gave me a great idea were to put them

ThomasE · 01-13-2001, 01:14 AM

If you know me, you know how I feel about the 1st season..........I LIKE IT! It was cute. I agree that the girls should've made more cameos. Nancy was becoming more defined in later episodes and a little more significant.

Chelsea · 01-13-2001, 01:35 AM

I hate the fisrt season. It just wasn't the same without Jo!

Season 1 reminded me of Spice Girls, because of everyone's personality. Can you imagine if one of the plotlines of season 1 was them starting a girl band?

Molly could be Ginger Spice (cause of her red hair), Cindy could Sporty Spice (most athletic), Blair could be Posh Spice (always obsessed about her looks but I could see Nancy as her too), and Sue Ann could Scary Spice (she could be super confrontational and sassy) and Tootie could Baby Spice (cause she was the baby).

But seriously, I'm not a huge fan of season 1 because it just didn't click for me. It felt like all the girls were lacking character development and were simply just archetypes of something. It also felt like season 1 was really having hard time balancing style and substance. How can you take a show seriously when the girls are in skimpy hot pants taking on heavy themes? It also didn't help that that the writing and the acting chops were barely there. And the only adult I could stand on the show in season 1 was Mrs. Garrett...she was a hoot! Mr. Bradley and Emily were just so dull and wooden.

Sorry, but I just didn't find season 1 compelling and is my least favorite season (yes, I'd rather watch season 9 over season 1 any day).

Not me! I'll take Season One over Pippa and Beverly Ann yammering on and on any day!

For me, Season One is Classic "Facts"... the later seasons, with those add-on characters no-one asked for, are not as good. Though I make an exception for Mrs. G's wedding and "The Little Chill".

Also, I love your Spice Girls concept!
