Rating:  - FUN IN A BOX!!!
This is so much fun to watch & remember watching a zillion years ago! Great show! Funny outfits! We loved it!
Rating:  - Great deal for 2 seasons
I grew up watching "The Facts of Life" but I was too young to remember the earlier seasons. Though I didn't remember anything other than the characters and theme song while watching this set (season 2), I felt right at home with the show.
I had never seen season 1 before. It really is... awful - in a good-natured way. The cast was too big, the character development minimal, and the acting was iffy at best. The jokes were not well timed, though some made it through okay. If anything, season 1 is worth it for the die-hard fans to see the three 'main' characters (Tootie, Natalie, Blair) so young and fresh as actors (and to see Blair in a better light without Jo around to piss her off). It also really made me appreciate season 2 a lot more, which is a far sight better than season 1 in quality.
Other reviewers have already covered the story of the show. I just wanted to add that I think this set is a good value for the two seasons in one, and is well-made. 2 DVD thin-paks with 2 discs in each, two discs per season. Two small actor interviews of "remembering the Facts of Life" is included on the first disc - the only people missing from which are Molly Ringwald, the gal who played Sue Ann, Nancy McKeon, and Charlotte Rae.
One other thing - "Facts of Life" was known for breaching subjects many other sitcoms, especially those aimed at teen girls, would never touch. By today's standards, many of these end up feeling like "a very special episode" but I admire the tact each episode had in handling each subject. Perhaps a might cheezy for todays audience, I though season 2 had aged a bit better than I had originally feared. And now I cannot wait for season 3 to arrive!
Rating: - The best!!!!!!!!
I love this show!!!!!!!!!! It is so funny. I used to watch it on Nick at Nite. I got it at FYE for only $19:99. It was worth every penny. I will get the third season after but I hear that others may not come on DVD but I know you can get them on video. The show is the best but like other people said maybe the first season was not the best but I thought it was good and I loved the theme song it had for that season. How can anybody hate this show?
Rating: - great
My girls love it! I wasn't sure if they would like it or not because they had never heard of the show...but after the first episode... they loved it! Plus it brought back a lot of memories for me!!!
