In the pilot she just wears a brown plaid school uniform, when they started to make the Facts of Life spin-off and housekeeper
Edna Garret leaves the Drummond's for Eastland and the basic character's like Tootie and Natalie are established, how come when Kimberly comes home from school she's not in an Eastland uniform?

and will Nick at nite-air the "Girlschool" episode of Diff'rent Strokes?

N@N will air The Girls School when DS does bad in the cable ratings.

They showed the two parter that introduced "Hello, Larry". I would like to see the FOL pilot that aired on "DS".
I read Blair was cute the bed-hopper, but when the show got picked up they made her more pristine.

Blair was a smoking guitar player in the FOL pilot.

Maybe the FOL pilot that aired as a DS episode will air in the marathon on June 3rd!

That'd be cool.

Did Kimberly ever wear an Eastland uniform?

Maybe she just changed into something else before coming home and Eastland had a different uniform before FOL. If she wore the uniform the whole week at school why would she want to come home in it?

Great point.

Because that's normally what kids who go to private/boarding/catholic schools do, they change when they are home. Unless they are involved in an after school sports activity
or something of that nature.
I went to ordinary public school, and you could see all the catholic school show offs in my area standing by the bus stop in their uniforms to upstage us non-uniformed kids.
