I preferred the third one the most: "The Facts of Life Goes Psychotic."

Lisa Whelchel had absolutely nothing to do in the "Facts of Life Goes To Paris" movie, she no storyline in that movie whatsoever - she had absolutely nothing to do. So why even bother having her in the movie, if she had no storyline.

^She grows up a bit and begins to "find herself".

Impossible to make this choice. I won't do it.

So 'going down under' isn't a reference to Jo eating out Blair?

I watched "Facts of Life Goes To Paris" only because Frederic Andrei, the postman from the cult classic movie "Diva," was in it.

I preferred some of the other lesser seen FoL movies:

Facts of Life Goes to Northern Ireland — in which Charlotte Rae utters “girls, girls, you’re BOTH terrorists.”

Facts of Life Goes to East Germany — in which Charlotte Rae utters “girls, girls, can’t you see your spying is tearing you apart?”

Facts of Life Goes to South Africa — in which Tootie is left back at Edna’s Edibles.

Neither. I don't like any of the FOL movies including the 2001 "reunion" one. I only like the sitcom.

Edna’s Edibles? Was Mrs. Garret running an underground 420 bakery in Poughkeepsie of all places and fronting using the girls as couriers?

"The Facts of Life Down Under"?

Wasn't that a lesbian porn flick?

Actually, I enjoyed the third film "The Facts of Life; Down-low"

Starring George Clooney and the Astin Kid

I love FOL Down Under. I was a kid when it came out and it was my first real exposure to Australia. The theme song is a great, jaunty little number, too.

R9 Good point. The reboot will have Edna's Edibles as a meth shop.

R14 No, "Edna's Edibles" sells cannabis-infused edibles.

In the reboot, they sell blimps at the newly rechristened "Edna's Dirigibles."

The last one in 2019 was, "The Facts Of Life Go To North Korea" but only Cloris Leachman came back.

I did enjoy The Facts of Life Goes To Gaza. The scene in which Blair says the rubble from the bombed building was messy up her hair was hilarious.

I liked the one where they went to Rwanda right in the middle of the genocide and Blair was like “I’m not staying in this hotel with all the Hutus!”

They never show Australia on TV!! It's not even included in any of the DVD sets!!

by Anonymousreply 20April 21, 2020 4:50 PM

Facts of Life Goes to Riyadh was the best!

The whole discussion of whether Natalie should wear a burka or hijab was hilarious!

Shocked at the results. Paris was so boring. And in Australia, Natalie almost got "down under" Ren Calley.

I was 8 when the show ended in 1988, but I never saw it. So, I recently got into it, watching it in chronological order. Recently got done with Season 3, and the Paris movie aired before Season 4 started. My question: Why were the strict headmistress and French boarding school that they were attending for the summer all but forgotten? The girls ran away in order to discover the city on their own terms and that's the last we hear of the mistress and school. This all happened 1/4 of the movie in. They're not even reported missing and nobody's out looking for them. Even Mrs. Garrett, who was spending her time at some cooking school away from them, has no reaction of concern when the girls unexpectedly showed up at the place she was staying. So weird.
