My favorite is definitely Blair!  I saw Lisa Whelcel and Charlotte Rae a few months ago on the TV Land Awards singing the Facts of Life theme song and they looked great.

I always like Jo the best. I think I could really identify w/ her, not quite fitting in thing.

I wonder if there are any episodes on video or DVD?  If they haven't done so already, they should release the first season at least to start out with on DVD since the 25th anniversary of the show's debut is this August.  :)

My favorite was always Blair.

Oh that would be so awesome!! :)

For looks it was Blair.

But my favourite character was Nathalie because I thought she was the funniest.

Ditto.  :)

Jo - She was pretty, smart and strong.

It's hard to believe those chicks are nearly 40 today.  I still picture them as those young rebellious girls from back in the day.

I'm with you on that. :o

Was Natalie the New York tough chick, or was that Jo?

That was Jo! Natalie was the funny one.

Blair

Jo.  I wanted to be just liker her :)

Tootie

I never cared for that show.

Same here.

I never cared for that show.


Ditto.

Though I saw an episode of "Star Dates" (and the "I Love the '80's" specials)  about two years ago and the actress who played Tootie looks good.  :)


But "The Facts of Life" isn't my cup of tea. Sorry.

Mrs garrett

I always liked Natalie. Jo comes in second.



Cat

Jo

That was Jo! Natalie was the funny one.

OK, then I should have said Jo! 

Tootie.

Natalie (Mindy Cohn), followed by Hoe, I mean, Jo, played by Nancy McKeon.  :)

Surfing around and came across this topic.. I loved that show when i was young.. I liked Mrs G and Blair, they were funny to me....

I really liked Jo

Did you know Nancy McKeon is the brother of Philip McKeon (he played Alice's son on the sitcom "Alice")

Yes I did know that.  I met her brother once in the 1980s and I was like, Oh I love Mel.. whats he like in real life.. he laughed.. i told him I liked his sis show too but I loved Alice.. when I was a kid and I had to clean the hosue, I would pretend we had a diner and I would yesll to my lil brother.. Pick up DINGY!  LOL

I always liked Natalie... she was so bubbly and happy! :)

Natalie gets my vote too, but the poll tells me I voted Jo... what was I thinking!?!?

Jo was my favorite.

Did you guys also know that Blair was a singer?  She released a gospel album in 1984

It's good to see she is still around :)

I liked Natalie.  Question- Did I imagine it.  Did Molly Ringwald play in the first season of the Facts of Life? :)

Yup-she was in the first season. They had a lot of girls in the first season (can't remember how many) and then they cut it down to 4.

Thought so! :)

I liked Blair.  Only because I never met anyone like her so I thought her character was made up and unbelievable.

I went to an all-girl's Catholic High School.  Trust me they exsist.

Jo followed by Blair and Natalie. Tootie was annoying!

i always admired jo for not caring what others thought about her.  she was strong and independent.

Sue Ann, definitely!

I always liked Blair. Feminine and pretty, not ugly and too masculine like Jo. While the rich girl "country club"  elitist attitude I could do without, we did once in a while find there was some substance underneath it all. But with that came beauty also.

Natalie was cool and the smart one. She also was kind of a cute plus sized gal which is my preference anyway. If only she would've had Blair's looks.....

I went through phases. They were all my favorite at one point. But Tootie was my mostly my favorite. Does anyone remember her real name? (From the show. Not Kim Fields) And did anyone know that her real life mother was the lady who burned Penny (Janet Jackson) with the iron on the 70's Good times TV show?

Sue Ann was definitely my favorite.  She used to out-argue and smack down Blair.  She put Blair in her place many times. 
Does anyone know the story behind the cast cuts from Season 1??  Will this season be out on dvd??  I remember the first episode (I think ) was about Cindy questioning her sexuality.  Blair said she was weird because she kept hugging the other girls.

My favorite is definitely Blair!  I saw Lisa Whelcel and Charlotte Rae a few months ago on the TV Land Awards singing the Facts of Life theme song and they looked great.





I like Sue Ann and Cindy!

Blair and Jo.

The actress who played Tootie, Kim Fields, still looks good  ;)  :-*
