Facts
of Life Season one intro
)
I was listening to
a podcast where they were talking about the Facts of Life. They
mentioned that the first season had an annoying intro sung by Mrs.
Garrett. I found it on YouTube and it is pretty grading on the ears.
The intro also
shows the different format the show was in the first season compared
to the later seasons. It was a bigger show with more characters and
it seemed more focused on the school aspects than the characters.
Molly
Ringwald was one of the girls on the first season until she was
written out.
People often
forget that this was a spin-off of Different Strokes. Garrett, who
was the maid on Strokes, ended up as the housemother. Kimberly from
Strokes went to the same school. And, I half wonder if you was supposed to make appearances on the show. I always thought of the relationship between the two shows as being similar to the one between The Cosby Show and A Different World, where the original concept changed and moved away from its parent show.
I remember not being a fan of the show in later seasons once Garrett left.
Here's their reunion back in 2011...
