Several. They had one early on about interacial marriage. Tootie's aunt being married to Richard Dean Anderson.

The second one was about an all boy military school. Jimmy Baio and David Ackroyd starred.

There was one where Natalie moved to New York to live in an apartment full of people. David Spade was in it as one of the roomates.

In the final episode, Blair buys Eastland school which becomes co-ed. Mayim Balik & Juliette Lewis starred.

It's very tempting to me. Only because they have not released the the last few season. Those are my favorites. I would not buy it now at this price but once the price goes down at a store...it will be very temtping. I loved those last few seasons with Over Our Heads and i would love to get them on DVD so i can just pop it in and watch. I recorded a whole bunch of episodes from The Hub when it was on but it didn't even go all the way through the seasons before it just bulked (Of course ALF which ran for fewer seasons is already on it's like eigth (or more) run through. arg!) I know all the episodes are on youtube but it's not the same.

Ah, my childhood fave... I suppose I'll have to get this (I never got the early releases.) Didn't they have issue with accidentally releasing some syndicated edits?

The Blair spin off actually apparently came very very close to being picked up. Not sure about the others. Granted I don't have the nostalgia for Diff'rent Strokes that I do for Facts of Life (which I was obsessed with as a small kid,) but it has to be a rare example of a spin-off I prefer. (I only really remember some Strokes episodes--like the child molester one...)

Umm, who's in the checkered jacket...

I remember someone talking about going to a fan event for Richard Dean Anderson. They said on the tables there were photos of RDA's roles over the years and the one on their table was of his Facts Of Life episode. They said RDA came by to talk to them and they told him they remember that episode. They said RDA remembers the day they filmed and said that the actress who played his wife kept walking in front of him in scenes trying to hog screen time......LOL

Speaking of Geri Jewell, is it true that Charlotte Rae was uncomfortable around her and Geri supposedly told Charlotte to kiss her crippled a-- ? That has been posted on several boards over the years. I don't see her saying that.

    • Of course, how could I have forgotten those thrilling episodes depicting the fire? Also we had the GCAC rooftop set that came out every Summer. Moving on to Friday's episode. Victor is propped in his chair, answers his cell and tells the caller 'Let him in'. Seconds later Kyle enters. So does Victor have security on the front porch? It would have been better had Victor taken the call, and then said to himself 'Well Kyle, let's see what you have to say'and fade out. Next scene Kyle enters, indicating that the first call was from the Ranch entrance and time had passed . Nit picky but I get frustrated when they do stuff like that.

    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
    •   Victoria's house (that she long ago lived in with Billy) burned down (I think Aunt Jordan set it ablaze?). Victoria briefly moved into the ranch after the fire, with Claire, Johnny and Katie, I think? Mariah and Tessa and baby Aria had been living in the tack house but they bought a house we've never seen and moved there. Victoria, Claire, and Cole then moved into the tack house as soon as Teriah left. I guess Victoria's children Johnny and Katie would live with Victoria at the tack house eventually? But Johnny and Katie went to boarding school during the school year. Not sure if we'll see Johnny and Katie for the summer vacation or where they would live.
    • Victoria’s previous house burned down.    And I know why characters frequent Crimson Lights 3 times a day for brownies, muffins and empty mugs:   THERE’S PCP IN EVERYTHING. 
    • Today was a good episode, and the week for that matter. I think they've also done a better job with background music. The scenes in todays episode weren't as silent as they usually are in the background and it was noticeable. I think the show has found its groove well and I'm still invested. 
    • Garneau was in the Liberal party and his riding was in Montreal. He was the first Canadian in outer space.
