The Facts of Life Halloween

[@forestrot666]

I miss sitcoms where every season you could expect holiday episodes. This was a treasure finding today.

[@ペイトン3]

SAME! When did this stop?

[@SuperMarioBrosIII]

@@ペイトン3Tyler Perry seems to neglect this in most of his tv shows! 🤔📺🎅🎄

[@audreyann1975]

I, too miss those TV shows. Always a Halloween episode and Christmas, Thanksgiving! I miss those days!

[@BeliiSpii]

There’s something comforting about this show.

[@caroleejohnson1553]

I grew up on these.

[@AriesClips044]

All the seasons are on tubi

[@spideranansi929]

I thought so too watching it

[@Dani-ICU-RN]

Yep..I binged- then Seinfeld, Bewitched, Charlie's Angels..lol. and BRADY BUNCH! Peacock, Tubi,Netflix,YT ..lol

[@eskaweeks]

I didn't grow up on these but still find them comforting.

[@aidarivera5551]

Facts of Life followed Different Strokes on Saturday nights! Eventually, Silver Spoons was between them. 80’s…what a time to be a kid!

[@ryanhilliard1620]

At one point they were on Wednesdays…

[@annettee7728]

Facts of Life was a spin off from Different Strokes

[@carlagilooly2467]

​@@ryanhilliard1620I remember it being on on a weeknight as well.

[@juliag.5114]

it was on wednesdays for most of its runs, the last three seasons were on saturdays though

[@pettykittyfam]

Absolutely 💯💯💯

[@princess-mn2li]

I love these old shows from the 80s. Reminds me of my childhood and how fun and carefree my life was. Brings back good memories.

[@kerribernard4278]

I feel the same way.. I miss it terribly.

[@Whyarewehere53]

Fun fact: Mindy Cohn was the voice of Velma in Scooby Doo from 2002-2015. She is also the godmother of 2 of Angelina and Brad Pitts children.

[@savagecatgt]

I didn't know that. She would have been a great live action Velma as well.

[@BerryBerry1465]

Mindy Cohn was always my favorite actress in the Facts of Life.

[@7peacefrog]

I loved this show, and it's to bad there are none like this anymore. And all the holiday ones were even more special!🥺😭I miss them

[@AndrewMacLaine]

A rude question, what "generation" are you? You spell/type/grammar/emoji like a combination of a younger and older individual and I find that fascinating.

[@7peacefrog]

​@@AndrewMacLaine I'm not sure if you are talking to me. But nothing I said was rude, or a question in my post?

[@jenniferhansen3622]

​​​​@@7peacefrogI don't think Andrew was implying that your question was rude. I think he was letting you know that it may seem rude that he's asking what generation you are. Basically I think he was saying "Although my question may seem rude, I'd like to know what generation you are." That's the way I read it, anyway. In fact, you didn't even ask a question. 😉

[@RLucas3000]

There are great sitcoms in every decade. from I love Lucy on. You Just have to find them 😊

[@sirscott51]

The facts of life was my all time favorite show from the 80’s , I grew up watching this show and it became my absolute favorite show. I loved all the characters from this show, ( Mrs Garret , Blair , Natalie , Tootie , Jo ) . Jo was my favorite character of all, she had that tough girl image that you just didn’t want to mess with her . I am glad that I can watch this show to this day on DVD . I have the entire box set .

[@CJ-jq4lv]

Wow 1979-1988! Great years, grew up watching this show, loved it.

[@Dolcevita_bakes]

Oh how I miss these times.. miss all these old shows like bewitched, Jennifer’s place, growing pains, silver spoons, gimme a break, it’s a living, threes company, Etc etc the list goes on. Sad those days are gone but feel so privileged that I got to be a part of it.

[@pippishortstocking7913]

Never heard of Jennifer's Place.

[@chrismayer3919]

Whoever the writer was for this sitcom, we sure need him for today’s sitcom episodes.

[@drummingdanny84]

During this season, Andy Borowitz was the executive story editor and would go on to create another successful NBC show, "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air".

[@Mister_Listener]

Jerry Meyer is credited as the writer. It’s a cute episode, for sure. I dont think i ever saw this one when i was a kid, lol.

[@hatednyc]

These jokes are Awful

[@Mister_Listener]

@@hatednyc then maybe it is Charlotte Rae? She was such a charismatic performer, like no other. Maybe SHE made it all work somehow. Have you ever listened to the OBC of 3Penny Opera?

[@chrismayer3919]

@@hatednyc be thankful the girls aren’t going on about sheep innards, then the jokes would be really OFFAL! 🥸

[@debradavis3935]

I loved this show when it was originally on, and I still love it today! It’s so gentle and easy to watch, and it just makes you feel good inside to see people so kind and loving towards each other. We sure don’t live in this world anymore!

[@christmasjoy3887]

This show was a huge part of my life growing up. I can't help it and get emotional.😭

[@matthewdunne8432]

Do you ever just have no idea where the time has gone?? This certainly doesn’t feel almost 40 years ago

[@stacyatwater3696]

I just turned 51 and having a hard time with it. But the old sit comes make me forget about that. Even if it's only for 25 mins.

[@jenniferhansen3622]

​@@stacyatwater3696I'll be 48 soon. I completely understand what you're saying.

[@portlandgirlx0x096]

Blair was my favorite! I idolized her. She is still stunning to this day!👸🌟

[@pwallace5359]

I love her. I remember when she became a Christian in real life and they incorporated it into the show. It was nice seeing all the girls grow up.

[@pla5730]

❤yes. She was wonderful on Survivor too

[@ushouldknowbynow8478]

My sister was named after her ❤😢givem hell in heaven❤

[@eskaweeks]

She was on Survivor? When?

[@williamjamesayers7719]

FOL, alongside of different Strokes, Good Times, Sanford and Son and countless other classics from the 70's and 80's have kept tv alive. This was a once in a lifetime and I'm glad I was part of it.

[@jmiller297]

*"I GOT THE MEAT!! I GOT THE MEAT!! I GOT THE MEEEEAT!!!"* 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@wynnecloy6084]

[@michaelaldredge-greenwell1692]

Mrs Garrett is so adorable and beautiful. Man, I miss this wonderful series

[@montibella]

I never noticed the “over acting”when I was younger lol. It’s fabulous

[@peskylisa]

I had a crush on Rick Springfield when I was 18, too!

[@xXLunatikxXlul]

And the 90s imo. The 50s /60s was also a treasure with Lucy.

This was always my favourite of any of the sitcom Halloween episodes. I remembered every detail of it from when I was a kid...except how crazy Natalie's overalls were!

[@ryanhilliard1620]

Those were Guess overalls and were highly coveted at the time.

[@Joanne-i7q]

Good episode of a fine show, that tackled a lot of tough subjects . There was an episode on s**cide, several on divorce, death of a favorite teacher, deciding when to lose v*rg**ity, all the big issues for young people.

[@Michelle-pn9xt]

Why are you mentioning your age? It not as if you are 12 years old or something.

[@eskaweeks]

In this instance, it gives some sort of context to the age the person was when this show was on tv, either through syndication reruns in the 90s or during its original airing.

[@perfectsplit5515]

It would seem that "Seven Little Indians" in Season 8 is a more enhanced "horror/comedy" episode.
