"The Facts Of Life Goes To Venice" script - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

CourtGI44 · 06-06-2001, 06:06 PM

Okay, I was at www.scriptcity.net and I was in the TV Movies section and saw that they had a script for "The Facts Of Life Goes To Venice." It looks like it was written, but never made.
I don't know if I wanna get it b/c I don't know when in the show it was written for. I really don't watch the eps after Mrs. G left and I really wouldn't want the script if Bev's in it. (Sorry, she kinda annoys me.)
If anyone happens to have this or has heard anything about it, lemme know.

This was discussed a few weeks ago (use the search feature and search for Venice) but the basic information as supplied by TV Guy is that they originally planned the Australia movie for Venice but changed it due to possible terrorist threats in Europe.

Hey CourtGI44, I bought a copy of the Venice script. This particular draft is dated February 26, 1986. Mrs. Garrett is in it. I actually read it not to long ago and T.J's right. The plot and a couple of scenes are similar to the Australia movie. Blair and Jo get involved with a jewelry heist and the police, Natalie leads a tour group around Venice, Tootie falls for a Gondolier, and Mrs. G finds a lost love. Oh, Andy's in it too but had a minor role. I enjoyed reading it but I think it could have been better.

Sounds interesting. I'd better got myself a copy. Blairfan, where did you get it from and how much did it cost?

I got the script at a store in Hollywood, CA and it cost $15, plus tax of course. It costs $5 more than a regular tv episode script does because it is considered a tv "movie". Probably because it has more pages to it.
