What do you hate most? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Cokies · 01-13-2001, 10:36 PM

'The Facts of Life' is a great show, no doubt about it. But you can't say it does'nt have it's faults. So i just wondering what you hate or dislike most about the show. Whether it be a character, or the theme song. Voice your opinions! Here's a list of what I don't like most...
1)Beverly Ann
2)the theme song redo(seasons 7-9)
3)Suzy-Q
4)Tootie's 'Walk like an Egyptian' hairdo in season 8.
5)'The Facts of Life Goes Down Under'(how lame!)
6)Molly's guitar playing
7)Every god-awful looking dress they put Jo in.
8) Rick, Casey, and Snake
9)the decision to paint the whole house in pastels after Edna's Edibles burnt down
10) Andy!

I might have been a bit harsh, but hey...
So, what do you hate most?

I hate Eddie.

TVaddict · 01-14-2001, 12:52 AM

I hated those one-piece suit things they had Jo wear around season 6 (Tootie wore them sometimes too) like the red one when they were in Ft. Lauderdale. I was just like, "Oh, Jo, what have they done to you?!?!?!"

coily2 · 01-14-2001, 12:54 AM

I really didn't like how they tried to "fem" Jo up by putting her into icky dresses and the aforementioned godawful power-suits.

Miller15 · 01-14-2001, 01:21 AM

Jo's wardrobe definitley was...hard to look at through the later seasons...but hey, it was the 80s, nobody's wardrobe was exactly something to rave about! And I have to agree "The Facts of Life Down Under" was pretty lame.
~~I just have to add Pippa to my list, she really annoyed the hell out of me. She was the most pointless character (and definitley did not deserve to be in the opening credits!--good point, John!)~~~

2 things.

1) Rick.
2) Jo's wardrobe in the latter seasons.

Cokies · 01-14-2001, 01:34 AM

Lol, tvaddict! I agree about the powersuits in the spring break episode. Especially the yellow one, I too was 'Oh my lord, what is she wearing?!' And I agree with coily2 that Jo was put into some icky dresses over the years, the white one from 'The Oldest Living Graduate', the one in 'Just My Bill', and in 'The Reunion'. It just got really worse as the seasons went on...oh and I also hated the new font for the opening credits during the last three seasons too.

hi, I don't care what Jo wore as long as she had a big part. I think Jo is a great actor. If anybody has any movies with Jo/Nancy McKeon in them please let me know because I will give about anything for them. my email address is myoreoiscute@aol.com please email me I am looking for anything, thanks

As far as the dress that Jo wore in "Oldest Living Graduate" I thought that was the worst thing she ever wore. When I saw her in that I went to pieces. I was cracking up with laughter.

Cokies · 01-14-2001, 02:25 AM

Exactly ThomasE!I reacted the same way. My reaction was to gag, or just laugh my ass off, i couldnt pick. LOL!

That dress was awful, but the one she wore when they went to that dance at the military academy ranks right up there. I sort of understand why Jo wore the skirts, suits, etc, in the last season because she was working, no longer in college. As much as you like jeans, they're not the most appropriate in a work environment. In college you can get away with wearing pretty much whatever you want.

NancyMcKeonRules · 01-14-2001, 03:50 AM

Things I hated:

the first season
first season theme song
Rick
Roy
Sue Ann

If I think of more I'll post them

What I Hate: (Some are repeats of yours)

-the first, Jo-less season
-Andy and Beverly Ann
-the kitschy store Over Our Heads
-the way Jo "mellowed" over the years and
started dressing & acting more like the
other girls (We need more threats of violence!! LOL)
-the new version of the theme song
-the original theme song
-Tootie's hideous, bell-shaped haircut in the middle seasons (Was this the "Walk Like an Egyptian" one?)

I better stop now... (:

JohnMcMillin · 01-14-2001, 02:37 PM

the first season
Pippa
the final episode
the first theme song
Blair's hair in the first few season 7 episodes
making Andy and Pippa big enough characters to merit being in the opening credits.

among others
