Does anyone know any history behind the immortal opening theme song? Why were there three versions and which is your favorite (mine is Seasons 2-6). Thanks!

I agree with you. I like the 2-6 season opening theme.

I like the final season's theme song...It gives you that 80's rock feeling, very upbeat.

I like the final theme song...It deffinately shows you what 80's music and rock was like...It gave a new upbeat look at the show, and hinted to the final years of the Facts of Life

I LOVED the FOL season 7-9 theme song!
The 2-6 was O.K, and the first was fine.

i loved the final season theme. if i am ultra sensitive i could tear alittle...when they show the earlier versions of each actress and what they looked presently then. It made me realize how life moves fast. i love that show. it makes you realize you grew up with these characters.

The first season theme and the 7-9 theme

The Seasons 7-9 theme.

As for WHY they had 3 themes..

They changed the theme after season 1 cause the season ended plus not all that many people liked it .

In 1985, Embassy updated almost all their programs themes to reflect the 80's. (DS, FOL, SS, etc.)

Ralph_Malph · 07-07-2001, 12:22 AM

Don't mind the 7-9 theme, but I loved the 2-6 theme the best!

NancyRox11 · 07-07-2001, 12:44 PM

JMPolniaczek15 · 07-07-2001, 02:52 PM

The very first episode of "The Facts of Life" has a longer theme song than the rest of the season one episodes. Also, the original episode has a different opening sequence than episodes 2-4 and 5-13. "The Facts of Life" in syndication cut and clipped and edited and deleted so many things!
