Natalie Green was almost raped

Why DID Natalie get all the sex related storylines?

And then they made her look at that Charlie Chaplin mask when they opened Over Our Heads. That thing loomed over every scene.

Eastland was a rapist hunting ground. Jo almost got date raped at the cotillion!

It was Tutti

[quote]Why DID Natalie get all the sex related storylines?

The rape storyline was originally meant for Lisa Welchel, but she told them she wasn't going to do it, so they reassigned it to Natalie. Poor Natalie got all the reassigned storylines.

It’s ‘Tootie’ Goddammit!

Natalie was a comic diversion from the seriousness of rape. The writers knew people would laugh at the thought of Natalie being sexually assaulted.

Natalie probably just lied there

r8 reminds me of the ending of Catherine Breillat's Fat Girl

It was in fact a lie. Nobody attempted to rape her. She made it all up for attention.

It was Charlie Chaplin they were after. Natalie just got in the way.

Very Special Episode trigger warning.

Well, if she’s going to go around dressed as Charlie Chaplin she obviously asking for it.

You’ll notice how they did a closeup of Tootie. That because Mindy Cohn couldn’t act.

Because Natalie almost got raped, they fired Mrs. Garrett and brought in Phyllis Lindstrom.

Somewhere there's a man with PTSD from being sexually assaulted by a fat girl in a Charlie Chaplin costume.

Was it behind a dumpster?

I was almost home!

I’m envisioning a tale somewhere between The Wizard of Oz and The Time Traveler’s Wife.

Straight men like more cushion for the pushin', Natalie had to beat them off with a stick.

Are you kidding? Natalie was a regular at the Peekskill Metro North Station. How else do you think she paid her school fees?

The one that tried to “rape” her was probably an angry housewife.

You’ll notice in OP’s clip that Mrs. Garrett is going to bed. She doesn’t care that Natalie isn’t home because she’s used to Natalie stumbling in at 2 am after working the train station.

Sienna D'enema (of Jiz fame) redubbed these scenes to perfection. Sadly he seemed to have deleted it of of youtube. Some of the funniest shit I ever heard.

Anyway, anyone find it inexplicable hilarious that phat Natalie was almost raped while dressed as Chaplin? Tell me that image ain't funny.

😂😂😂😂

That rape would have taken too long. Natalie needed to be rolled in flour so the rapist could find the wet spot.

The Charlie Chaplin walk doesn’t lend itself well to outrunning sexual predators.

It was her stache that made him do it.

They gave her that episode to point out how rape is an act of violence, not attraction.

Rape! Rape!

Why didn't she mime the attack?

She was asking for it, dressing like a tramp!

She looked like Rene Zellwigger before her learning to suppress her appetite.

[quote]And then they made her look at that Charlie Chaplin mask when they opened Over Our Heads. That thing loomed over every scene.

Are you kidding, Natalie was completely turned on by the Chaplin mask after that - she pretended to kiss it while she had long extended sessions with her vibrator...

Mrs. Garrett finally had to speak to her, because her sex toys were causing electrical brown outs at Eastland!

What’s this show?

The Facts of Life. It was a spin-off from Diff’rent Strokes.

R21, WHET Sienna D'enema? I liked his Jiz and Golden Shower Girls series.

R30, wasn't Natalie the first one in the group to lose her virginity?

Well she certainly wasn’t the LITTLE tramp!!

After Natalie’s attempted rape experience she turned down free concert tickets, from Blair, to see Bruce Springsteen in NYC. So Mrs Garrett had an self defense instructor come to Eastland cafeteria to teach the basics to the girls. Blair wore a Karate inspired outfit she bought after watching the miniseries Shogun on NBC. Jo wore mens hanes sweats. Tootie wore her Eastland track suit. Natalie wore jeans and an eggplant sweatshirt. Mrs G wore a denim blue jumpsuit with a gold zipper. The self defense instructor wore a burgundy velour track suit. They learned how to jab a would-be attacker’s face with a Dum Dum lollipop stick, keys and a hairbrush across the eyes. The instructor taught Edna Garrett to yell FIRE!!

I hope her attacker was apprehended

R35 Wait, they really used the yell “Fire” when being attacked in that episode? The third time I was mugged, in broad daylight at twelve noon with witnesses watching I did have the piece of mind to do that and it actually caused the two attackers to flee, but I thought I had learned that from the time on the hard streets of NYC, not from FoL?

R37 FOL all the way. 1981.

Was it rape rape?

Was it Chaplin Chaplin?

“Attempted” rape.

[quote] Well, if she’s going to go around dressed as Charlie Chaplin she [is] obviously asking for it.

Damn straight. Felice Schachter wisely went as Buster Keaton, and everyone left her alone.

Mindy Cohn's acting at the OP's clip is just awful.

Tootie went to the party in a full length tube dress as Diana Ross. Nobody tried to rape her.

Jo went as Peter Fonda in Easy Rider. That was an odd choice for a budding lesbian in 1981.

Blair went as 60s era Jane Fonda, not early 80s Jane Fonda Workout, that was hugely popular at the time. Another odd choice especially she didn’t wear a costume. All she had was a picketing sign.

Mrs. Garrett wanted to go as Theda Bara, but she had to stay in the dorm.

Was it a pity rape?

R46 the woman with the deranged eyes.

R46 And she couldn’t find a metal snake headed bra to fit her bazoombas.

The creep didn’t think Charlie Chaplin could talk, much less try to scream.

I think it was suspicious that Natalie pre-made several silent movie caption cards addressing a rape situation.

Oh, big woo. I was attacked in that abandoned mall in broad daylight.

I had a dream about that last night, r52. Only it was at The Mall of America and I was attacking Anthony.

[quote] Natalie probably just lied there

Do you mean that Natalie lied to the other girls and Mrs G. about almost being raped? Or did you mean that she just laid on the ground still while some perv dry humped her?

Any Natalie Green fans??

[quote] The rape storyline was originally meant for Lisa Welchel, but she told them she wasn't going to do it, so they reassigned it to Natalie. Poor Natalie got all the reassigned storylines.

No, the losing of virginity was originally meant for Whelchel and she turned it down because she was a Christian and didn't want her fans to think it was okay to have pre-marital sex. So after much consideration (and realizing that Jo was a lesbian, Tootie was black and Edna had probably given it up already) they settled on Natalie. But only after all the other girls from Season 1 refused to come back.

R44 Tootie could barely walk in that outfit. I remember as a child watching this episode with my older sister who said if the attacker had gone after Tootie, she'd would never have had a chance.

[quote]Natalie Green was almost raped

Almost...goddammit!

I heard they asked Natalie to make a papier-mâché bust of the man who attacked her, but when she delivered it to the police station they later only threw it away.

Another teen harlot, walking around with a mattress on her back.

She should have been expelled, I tell you.

[quote] Any Natalie Green fans??

(Raising hand)

I'm telling ya, Tootie...his big hard penis was this close to penetrating my vulva....

Oh hi Mrs. G, yeah, I'm still pretty upset about the rape attempt...could ya bring me some more donuts

^ then I accidentally farted and it seemed to frighten him for some reason.

[quote] Natalie Green was almost raped

That fat thing?

Natalie's in trouble.....make it a double!

That's nothing, Nat...Jermaine Jackson came "this close" to fucking me...and I prolly could've had his brother Michael too!

The influence of this "type" of girls is one of the reasons I had to pull Christina out of the Eastland School!

I think you're underreacting, Mrs. Garrett!

MISTER WeinBERGER!

Natalie GREEN is EATING a meatball sandwich RIGHT OUT IN CLASS!

Mrs. Garrett, my compliments to your school on its impeccable reputation

But was she almost "almost"?

Was this the same season where Tootie's never-again-mentioned brother Marshall fell victim to an SUI? (Skiing Under the Influence?)

Marshall loved booze and driving

It’s always the fatties who “fear assault” the most in real life too.

Hey fatty, telling me I’m being disrespectful for lusting for you with my eyes — guess what? You’re very much barking up the wrong tree.

I was VIOLATED....

I mean...he almost....

He touched my breasts...

Could someone pass the donuts, please...I'm still struggling

You think Peekskill is dangerous? Try We Ho!

I don't feel safe!

This episode seems like what someone would write their dissertation on.

I’m glad Mr Parker talked to the school board about getting me a raise. I hated working nights at Howard Johnson’s and I didn’t want to think about the possibility of eating dog food in the future.

^ "Wait for Your Laugh: On Normalized Rape Culture As A Fact Of Life."

By Xavieria Amarylis Womynsdottir, PhD.

MARY!

I get kind of sad watching the shows from FOL 1981-1982 season. I was in the 4th grade and my life was happy at that particular time.

^ if the male patriarchy is oppressing you or denying you your happiness...

I will help you shut that shit down...I mean, if you are a woman

Something about her makes my stomach upset.

Forty years later, I'm still a wee bit in platonic love with Mindy Cohn.

This must be the 3,742nd time this has come up on DL.

^ We were triggered and we are still working through our trauma...do you have a problem with that?

"Send In The Clown: Natalie Green And The Queering of Gender In Sexual Assault Narratives," by Xavieria Amarylis Womynsdottir, PhD.

Only because you're a disingenuous asshole, R86

I had no idea what any of this was about before reading this thread and am still in hysterics over it.

Also, why was the audience clapping after hearing her story? "I was almost home..." *thunderous applause*.

R89 - the audience was impressed that Natalie actually walked anywhere.

if it was male stripper Cliff or Blair's first boyfriend, gorgeous Steve (played by greg bradford) ole Natalie should have been begging for it!...

The rapist could tell that she was into it so he took off in disgust.

Was she working at the taco place then? Maybe she ripped a bean & cheese shart that made her would-be attacker's eyes water.

Look, you dress up as Charlie Chaplin, sooner or later you'll eventually get raped.

This is from one who knows.

93, according to Grace and Frankie, elders are supposed to soil themselves, to ward off attackers. In Natalie's case, I think the reverse happened. The attacker ripped her bowler and stache off, and in shock, lost continence. Possibly lost consciousness, too,

Her best defense was her offensiveness.

Who wouldn't want some of Mindy Cohn's pussy?

I couldn't fuck that, even with your dick!

[quote] then I accidentally farted and it seemed to frighten him

I once read that you should fart if you're about to be raped. it will drive the rapist away. Ive always remembered that piece of advice.

I bet he ran when she unhinged her jaw and tried to eat him, like she did in "It".

It was actually "Strange" Cindy Webster who approached Natalie in the dark that night...

[quote] Who wouldn't want some of Mindy Cohn's pussy?

Why does it smell like Doritos?

[quote] I once read that you should fart if you're about to be raped.

I'm not sure if I should feel impressed or appalled that you can fart at will.

There was a farter who was a celebrity in Paris because he could fart at will. He put on shows, quite like Louis CK or Ricky Gervais.

R103 - It's a gas!

Natalie Green was almost raped!

Mrs G's head was fucking huge! I heard she had to get steel wrapped around her vertebrae in order to hold up her huge pumpkin.

Off topic, but I wanted to see Mrs. Garrett, turned into a Horny lonely old woman for a time, having her way seducing and being seduced into a secret dirty affair with Blair's boyfriend, the male stripper Cliff..... the motherly son relationship turned to sex! her horny for him and him thinking what the heck, old women need screwing too, besides, she does have way bigger breasts than blair, so why not!...

then ole cliff turns her on to the other male strippers at the club, and for a time, ole horny mrs. garrett is getting screwed and rotating with all of the strippers! laugh! i know, i know! i'm bizarre and kinky!

This is such a rude and fun thread🤣

You’re supposed to shit if rape is attempted

Why didn’t she just lay back and enjoy it?

He took off r110

Sure, Natalie.

And I "almost" went all the way with a guy.

Look at that whore Chaplin shakin his ass

^ Those mincing little steps...

her jiggling ass...

she knew exactly what she was doing!

Mrs G could have smashed that black rapist bastard to death with her huge fucking head. One bop and Negro be down to hell where he belong.

Do we know, was there a serial rapist loose on campus that season?

Oh wait... was she a great, big, fat person?

This show was before I was born and that clip is the first time I’ve ever watched anything from it. Wow, the acting was terrible! How the hell did that show stay on for more than a few episodes?😳

R118, same! And I am as perplexed as you!

R119 It was like watching a parody skit on Saturday Night Live!

It’s interesting because Season 1 was a bomb. It was NBC’s lowest rated show.

In its first season, it had many more girls and part of the problem was that there were too many characters to follow. They retooled the show by getting rid of most of the girls (including young Molly Ringwald) and kept the beautiful stuck up girl, the black girl and the fat girl. The lesbian girl was later added.

Who knows why NBC stuck with the show after it’s dismal first season, but starting with Season 2 the ratings picked up. It was never in the Top 10 shows, but it sat comfortably in the Nielsen 25-35 range.

My guess is that NBC stuck with it because it was cheap to produce and target towards teenage girls. Believe it or not, there were special episodes. I think the girls went to Paris and Australia.

R118 For the same reason Golden Girls stayed on the air. It had only a handful of episodes or scenes that were actually funny. Peeps loved crap in the 80s.

[quote]My guess is that NBC stuck with it because it was cheap to produce and target towards teenage girls.

Well, you just keep thinkin' that darlin'

because me and other girls sucked a lot of executive cock to keep that show going...

Was it a show that deal with a "very special theme" every week?

R118 it was also a Norman Lear show too and he had power at that time

What nights of the week was this on throughout its run?

R125, Facts of Life wasn’t a Norman Lear show. You can tell that because nobody is yelling and slamming doors.

[quote] How the hell did that show stay on for more than a few episodes?

They got rid of Felice Schacter, that's why.

R122, PLEASE share what sitcoms you think are funny if you believe The Golden Girls only had a handful of funny episodes.

[quote] What nights of the week was this on throughout its run?

I think earlier seasons may have been a Tuesday or Wednesday. Around the Over Our Heads era, it became the anchor for the Saturday night lineup.

Felipe was a real downer, she was like the equivalent of box office poison to TV shows.

I was in my 20's when the whole TGIF phenomenon was happening. I've never been able to sit through an episode of Full House or Family Matters.

I wouldn't expect anyone who wasn't a teen or pre-teen in the 80's to understand the appeal of FOL.

[quote] Felipe was a real downer, she was like the equivalent of box office poison to TV shows.

Who is this Felipe? Some pioneer of gender pronouns?

Sorry, self corrected Felice for some reason, Felice Schachter who somehow got many Hollywood opportunities with very little talent.

Nat may have called it an attempted rape...

but I could feel the heat from her throbbing vagina for weeks afterward!

That fat girl was "turnt on"!

Didn't Natalie had two marriage proposals in a reunion movie? Were we really supposed to believe that?

If sitcoms can convince us a fat guy can marry a beautiful woman, they can also convince us a fat chick can pull some decent-looking men. 😛

R136, Nat was using a website for Chub-Chasers at the time...

and one of them just wanted to feed her for his YouTube channel

r129 has stated her boundaries!

R127 uh yes it was as well as Diff'rent Strokes, did you not see the December episode of Live in front of a Studio Audience which had DS and FOL episodes done live

And Norman Lear was there as it's his show, he produces it through his production company Embassy

Kim Fields and Mindy Cohn even tweeted pictures of him and thanked him for creating th show, which he based off his real life daughter in an all girls boarding school and Mindy even said "Norman came to my school and cast me with Charlotte Rae and Alan Horn, he changed my life forever"

R134... because she had that dark haired, blue eyed prettiness model type look... (think connie selleca, stefanie kramer, etc) that was "in" at the time. That's how she got work.

First she was passed over as Kimberly on Diff'rent Strokes, then she was first cast of Facts of Life only to be the first fired.

R121: NBC stuck with TFOL (opting to "re-tool") because they'd been mired in third place for years, and were completely desperate for half-hour comedies. At the start of the 1979-80 season, they only had TWO sitcoms on their schedule -- Diff'rent Strokes & Hello, Larry (which were paired together on Wednesday night).

They tried-out several others (in addition to TFOL) as midseason/spring replacements on Friday & Saturday nights -- Here's Boomer, Me & Maxx, Joe's World, Sanford (no Son), and Good Time Harry. They all sucked.

As R118 commented, being a Norman Lear show (and a spin-off from the very popular Diff'rent Strokes) definitely factored into it. Given his track-record, the NBC execs probably figured if there was a show that could be re-tooled and "turned around"...it was going to be the show from Lear's production company. (note: NBC also tried to re-tool Sanford, given how popular the original Sanford & Son and Redd Foxx had been, but it didn't work/last)

^^^ Aye, that should have been: "As R125 commented..." (not R118)

Natalie Green almost raped who?

[quote] I think earlier seasons may have been a Tuesday or Wednesday. Around the Over Our Heads era, it became the anchor for the Saturday night lineup.

Season 1 = Friday night

Seasons 2 - 6 = Wednesday night

Seasons 7 - 9 = Saturday night

I'm still have nightmares.

If wacko Jacko raped her the tabs headlines: Nataleeeeheeeeee!

Can;t rape the willing. This is why I don't comprehend gay rape.

The Facts of Life's season-ending Nielsen rankings:

1979–1980 – #74

1980–1981 – #26

1981–1982 – #24 (Tied with Little House on the Prairie)

1982–1983 – #36

1983–1984 – #25

1984–1985 – #30

1985–1986 – #27

1986–1987 – #31

1987–1988 – #38 (Tied with Highway to Heaven)

On one of those E! True Hollywood Story/Behind the Sitcom Scandals-type programs, a former NBC exec, or a t.v. critic/historian (I can't recall which), talked about FOL's ratings and its somewhat surprising longevity -- given how awfully things started & that it never cracked the Top 20 in the end-of-season Nielsen rankings.

FOL was the highest-ranked show in its *time slot* only three times during its run (S2, S3 & S7). But it was NEVER third/last in its time-slot (after S1)...and that mattered. It was opposite Dynasty for a couple seasons on Wednesday (while it shot to #1/ became a sensation) and FOL still held its own, always coming in #2 in the time-slot. The guy described it as "the little show that could". It just kept plugging along at #2 in its time slot, doing well enough to not be cancelled.

Wow, given how popular the show was I figured it would've been in the top 20 for a few seasons.

The rapist didn't go after Tootie because she was carrying a switchblade just like the real Diana Ross.

The rapist was also dressed like Ronald McDonald.

Then he should have used his brain and offered Natalie a free Happy Meal.

I would imagine the demographic for FOL was also pretty young (and completely opposite that of Dynasty, gaylings excluded), so I can see why it would have staying power with the network.

FOL had some things going for it, as time marched on. Namely that we Gen-Xers felt a connection to those characters, as they aged in "real-time"....from high school to college and beyond.

[quote] Facts of Life wasn’t a Norman Lear show. You can tell that because nobody is yelling and slamming doors.

Clearly, R127 hasn't watched an episode with Jo Polniaczek.

[quote]Natalie Green was almost raped

Then he ran away so fast...

And I had to finish myself off lying there in those bushes.

I guess I made a lot of noise, because eventually a security guard came and shined his light on me and told me to get dressed.

I don’t mean to victim-blame, but maybe this wouldn’t have happened if she wasn’t dressed as Charlie Chaplin?

Fun fact: Lisa Whelchel's manager's office is in the building that was used for the exterior shots of The Townsend Agency.

So Blair is one of Charlie’s Angels?

Did any of the FoL girls ever make it onto the Love Boat?

Nancy appeared in episode, pre-FOL (and Fantasy Island, too). Lisa was on it twice, and Charlotte appeared three times.

Someone at Spelling Productions must have really liked Lisa. Both of her Love Boat appearances were two-part "sweeps" episodes, filmed on location in Germany & Greece. (that's a "thing" among Love Boat guest-stars -- were you asked to be on an episode that was all filmed on a set in Burbank, or on a location-episode?). Her love interests were Jack Coleman & Parker Stevenson, respectively. AND she was cast in Spelling's totally craptastic t.v. movie, "The Wild Women of Chastity Gulch" (which, IMO, should be required viewing on DL), where her character macked on Donny Osmond.

Jo was so fucking butch and super masculine. I wonder how many young lezzies and gaylings would rub it out thinking of her taking their cherries?

^^ You're the only one thinking about that, Loser.

R164 Fuck you, cunt. Nancy McKeon was the butchest bull dyke in the history of the fucking universe.

Are you going to like your post again, R165?

No, the biggest 1970s dykette was Kristy McNichol on Family.

Why did this gem never come to fruition?

Kristy MacNichol and Nancy McKeon should have done an enemies to lovers TV movies of the week. Jimmy and Philip too. If the world was Gay it would have happened, instead we got denied these movies.

R169, Kristy already did that movie with Tatum O’Neal. It was called Little Darlings.

Best bit of dialogue:

Kristy: I’m not a woman, Randy.

R170 That was a theatrically released movie, TV movie of the week would have been a whole other creature!

I’m watching the episode when Blair & Jo graduate on TV

I remeber reading the National Inquirerer in the 80s and they stated a remake of "Mildred Pierce" was in preproduction starring Farrah as Mildred and Lisa Whelchel as Veda. I'm sure I squealed at the time and still fantasize about that inspired casting.

R170 Eh not that movie. She ended up screwing Mat Dillon. That was the whole point, she was tomboy-ish and everyone thought she was lezzy but she was really a misunderstood straight-y. If anything Tatum O'neil ultimately came off as the likely lesbian,

[quote] Believe it or not, there were special episodes. I think the girls went to Paris and Australia.

And Darfur. That really was a very special episode.

Tatum O'Neal was at the peak of her beuty in Little Darlings.

I recently caught the first minute or so of an episode of The Goldbergs (in syndication) which referenced FOL, but managed to screw it up! During the opening voiceover, the lead character starting waxing nostalgic about TV friendships of the 1980s:

[quote]" Back in the '80s, TV gave us some of the most iconic friendships ever. Ricky had Alfonso (insert quick clip of the boys dancing on Silver Spoons)....Natalie had Blair (quick clip of Blair wrapping an arm around Natalie's shoulders at Eastland)....Tattoo had Ricardo Montalban (quick clip from Fantasy Island)".

Natalie & Blair?? WTF?!?! Had The Goldbergs writers ever actually seen an episode of FOL??

Jo & Blair OR Natalie & Tootie were the "iconic" friendships! But never Natalie & Blair, or Jo & Tootie!

This is one of the reasons I've always hated The Goldbergs, in addition to the annoying AF characters/actors. They don't even get the 80s references quite right.

R177 You are right. Every character I'd put into a fucking oven and then blow the oven up after theys dead. The characters were more despicable and obnoxious than the Golden Girls if that is even possible.

So is an oven reference necessary for a show called The Goldbergs?

Natalie and the girls are visiting Australia today. I'm concerned what might happen if they are separated. They were almost home!

She always has been like a sister to me.

Poor Natalie. When the world never seems to be living up to your dreams. The facts of life ARE all about you.

[quote] Natalie and the girls are visiting Australia today. I'm concerned what might happen if they are separated. They were almost home!

Were they having a picnic at Hanging Rock?

The tracking dogs could smell ol' Nat all the way from Perth.

R183, perhaps Natalie ate all the other girls too!

Woo, if I had a nickel for all the times that fat girl eating and masturbating in bed!

^BUMP!

Natalie's moment is airing right now on Rewind TV.

"Mrs. Garrett. I was almost home."

I love this shit.

Almost? Give me something I can use!

[quote] "Mrs. Garrett. I was almost home."

So she's telling the headmistress that her rapist nearly made her cum? That girl is sick in the head.

Did the man press charges against Natalie?

You can't rape the willing.

Oh, [italic]dear.[/italic]

[quote]I'm not sure if I should feel impressed or appalled that you can fart at will.

When you eat as much and as often as Nat does...it's actually not that impressive

"Oh my God, Mrs. G, this thread is triggering me...I'm getting all clammy...is that fried chicken I smell...well, I could try to eat a little."

[quote]I'm not sure if I should feel impressed or appalled that you can fart at will.

Well, I actually farted and queefed a few times...I was so excited, I mean "scared",. I was SO scared!"

It still wasn't as bad as what happened in Little House on the Prairie.

I think the real reason he ran away was that he wasnt interested

Big deal!

They needed to look that night for a trick-or-treater dressed as either Paulette Goddard or Oona O'Neill!

Gee Nats, you're going out in the dark in that Charlie Chaplin costume again?

Yeah Tootie, a girl's gotta play to her strengths...it almost worked before!

She made it up, she just wanted her classmates to think she was sexually attractive to someone(anyone). Mrs. Garrett should have checked Natalie's Trick or Trick bag. Was it full of candy or full of candy wrappers. I think the latter.

How did anyone even recognize that as a "Charlie Chaplin" costume?

I'd probably have guessed she was dressed as Oliver Hardy from "Laurel and Hardy"

Probably looked more like Oliver because of her shape. Oliver resembled a sea cow.

So Nats, how did your night out in your Charlie Chaplin costume/

Well Tootie, I made eye-contact with one old perv but I started thinking about that cold pizza in the fridge and figured I'd just come home and finish that off.

She chose the Chaplin costume because he waddled, too.

Ok Nats, but if you're eating all that pizza at bedtime, we're opening a window tonight.

Fair enough Tootie, a good pizza can make me a little...you know "tootie", no offense, Tootie...you know what I mean!

Poor Tootie. What a nickname. With that and her unfortunate pigtails. No wonder she was buds with Fatalie.

[quote]How did anyone even recognize that as a "Charlie Chaplin" costume? I'd probably have guessed she was dressed as Oliver Hardy from "Laurel and Hardy"

That episode was filmed forty years ago. People then didn;t have the same cultural reference as you do today--they recognized other cultural sources.

She looks like a hobo

[quote] She looks like a hobo

Do you think perhaps that might have been why Chaplin's signature character was called "The Little Tramp"?

[quote] You can't rape the willing.

According to troll-dar, you have posted this sentence in THREE different posts on just this one thread.

You must be really afraid we did not read it properly the first time.

I bet it was Cousin Geri, she always did give off a Lesbian Rappy Vibe. She would act all sweet and innocent but she was just waiting for the chance to catch poor defenseless Natalie. I bet she lured Natalie into the bushes with a donut tide to a string.

R177, speaking of The Goldbergs, I’ve watched it on/off since the beginning (mainly off in recent years) and I’m perplexed by its longevity. It should’ve been great, but never was. I’ve always thought it was miscast. Also there is never any character development. Every episode is the same. Mom is overbearing, embarrasses the kids, they revolt, she makes them feel guilty, everyone loves each other. The end. They killed off the dad and the grandfather and both episodes were underwhelming.

[quote] I bet it was Cousin Geri, she always did give off a Lesbian Rappy Vibe.

Geri Jewell came out as lesbian years ago.

Natalie's head is the same size as a cow. How did she ever get a TV gig?

^ She threatened to fuck the producers

Nat's face saved her. When the mask wouldn't come off, the perp pissed himself, then ran like the wind.

I always found it ironic that the girls would have a Chaplin mask on the wall of their room when they moved to the Edna's Edibles/Over Our Heads space. Were the other girls trying to gaslight Natalie?

Girls can be even meaner than gurls.

Edna's Edibles, ha. I'd make Nat clean up, but no, she would NOT be left alone there or trusted with the keys. She'd would be allowed to graze from the trash cans and to lick/pre rinse the dishes.

We know, R219. I guess you couldn't make it all the way to R2.

They had the Chaplin mask in their room at Eastland as well.

Those masks belonged to Fatalie. Fond memories of the only one. The one that got away.

Was Edna's Edibles the first pot dispensary on TV?

why I wonder did they go from edna's edibles to that silly store "over our heads"... why did they change the setting of the show? Trying to be more "hip" and go with a "spencer gifts' knock off?...

one of my favorite episodes in the later years besides the "i'm dancing as fast as I can" with blair's hunky male stripper Cliff (always thought it odd that he would kiss mrs. garrett on the lips on her birthday?!) was the episode I think entitled "bus stop" where Natalie tells everyone she is not going to college. They throw her this surprise graduation party and invite some of Langley's best.. In the background there is this gorgeous handsome built blonde guy whose suppose to be one of the langley football players. Doesn't have any lines of course and looks to be in his late 20's too old for college, but that extra was HOT HOT!..

The show was only watchable when they were all in high school.

the jokes on this show are deadly. like heavy chunks of lead.

This is a prime example of a decent show that stayed too long at the party. The HS years were definitely the best. The beginning years of college with Edna’s Edibles weren’t so bad. By the time they opened the new place and then Mrs. Garrett left, it was horrible.

I think I’ll take a pass on this one.

What was Natalie wearing? Was it something provocative?

She was traipsing about town after dark dressed like a tramp r231.

"I'm telling ya, Tootie, he came this close to sticking it in me!"

"I know, Nat, you've told me...over and over...and it was almost 40 years ago."

SHE WAS ASKING FOR IT! THERE! I SAID IT!

Just look at the way she was dressed!!!!

Just imagine how disappointed the rapist was when he discovered Natalie was a girl! That's the real story.

We've really passed the point of diminishing returns with this thread.

^ Stop with your micro-aggression!

Natalie is still trying to process and work through her feelings!

Our sisters will not be silenced!

Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades Nat.

Really, R238...I fart in your general direction.

^ Natalie, your farts are like supernovas that engulf the entire inhabitable space. No need to point in any one direction.

Was cousin Gery the first Down's retard on network tv?

No, that was Jimmy Carter.

There were a few diamonds in there, R229. "Doo Wah" with El Debarge and George's high school reunion, 3,2,1, Jo's reunion with Flyman are all good for a few laughs. But, I'd agree the pickings are pretty slim in the last 2 years (especially the last).

Poor Toodee

Facts of Life ripped off my TV show, and made it all about lesbians and fatties. Well, just as well. Getting stuck on some shitty sitcom would have destroyed my career.

The last season, even at the time, was kind of depressing. Over Our Heads had sucked, but the show was really different without having them all run a business together. Knots Landing had a similar problem in later seasons, once they ran out of excuses to have Gary, Karen, and Abby working together.

In the reboot, the girls should be running a pot shop out of the old Edna's Edibles/OOH.

^^^you’re so trashy.

I saw an old episode of The Nanny last night, where Fran and CC were trapped in the wine cellar. Fran had the following line which cracked me up - but without this thread I never would've known what they were referencing:

[italic]You know, this reminds me of when Blair and Tootie got caught in Mrs. Garrett's walk-in freezer. Thank God, Natalie went in for a midnight snack, surprise, surprise.

Bump

Just to let you know, R249-that incident never happened on any episode of "The Facts Of Life"

^ Um, beg to differ...Natalie went for a "midnight snack" every night, and usually several times!

[quote]We've really passed the point of diminishing returns with this thread.

This is the oppression of the patriarchy.

How long will we be oppressed?

OMG, I've never smelled anything that bad before...

So I had a yeast infection...and I may have dropped some food down there...big whoop.

[quote]Just to let you know, [R249]-that incident never happened on any episode of "The Facts Of Life"

Just because it wasn't shown doesn't mean it didn't happen.

We never saw a toilet in the Brady house - does that mean no one in that house took a shit for five seasons?

[quote]They had the Chaplin mask in their room at Eastland as well.

I always knew I was going to present my "flower" to my special man in a Chaplinesque way, Tootie...

a girl just knows these things...now pass me some more pizza, Tootie!

[quote]Mindy Cohn's acting at the OP's clip is just awful.

In Mindy's defense, she had never "known" a man.

Off Topic, but I always thought (the 1st season) that that headmaster who was played as such a fop always wanted to jump blair's gorgeous blonde delivery boy boyfriend played by greg bradford... turns out in real life the actor who played the headmaster is straight, married with kids....

Since you want to be THAT asshole, R256, Fran says she was reminded of when Blair and Tootie got caught in the walk in freezer. Since it never happened on any single episode, nor was stated as happening, how could she remember it?

[quote] Off Topic, but I always thought (the 1st season) that that headmaster who was played as such a fop

I wanted Mr. Bradley deep inside of me. One of the weirder crushes in my life.

Mr. Bradley was alright.

Mr. Bradley in a wet undershirt rescuing Blair and Tootie from a flooding stable was hot.

That Nanny quote is even funnier if it's not true, it makes me imagine Drescher's husband is a secret Datalounger - just wanted to set up a Natalie is fat joke! Heh!

NANNY FINE IS A FAT SHAMER!!! CANCEL HER!!!

I enjoyed them randomly cutting to a close up of Tootie right after Natalie collapsed into Edna's arms. Her expression was pure "what the fuck is happening?"

[quote]Mr. Bradley in a wet undershirt rescuing Blair and Tootie from a flooding stable was hot.

Oy, I remember that too. Mr. Bradley was gorgeous when you could see his hairy pecs...

I remember another FOL-reference in an episode of The Nanny. I can't remember which episode it was, but it was a Fran & Val scene.

Val asked Fran, "Can you keep a secret?" (or something to that effect), to which Fran replied: "Gee, Val, I'll try not to tell Blair, Natalie & Tootie."

^ Meanwhile, my daughter is working as a "maid", she's unmarried, and she's nearly as fat as that Natalie Green!

Almost raped, ha!

If they had put a donut on the guy's dick, Nat would've destroyed him...

Fat.

Ugly DLers who were home on Saturday nights watching GGs survived the aids so they could infest Golden Girls and Facts of Life threads. You cunts are revolting.

Fun fact: Fran, Peter, and Lisa were in an acting class together in the late-80s.

Old Nat is still out there, late at night. Walking, searching.

Dare you to look into the mirror and say Natalie three times.

[quote]—Mrs. Slyvia Fine, FAT ASS, of Flushing, Queens

Fixed.

I'll have you know, men travel from all over the greater New York area just to see my tuchus, Mrs. Green!

^ And even though Natalie was a really fat kid, she peaked in high school, Mrs. Green!

Have you ever wondered why your daughter spend so much time at the Krispy Kreme, Mrs. Green.

It's called "mothering" - give it a try.

"You know, Tootie, the more I think about...I think he may have actually put "IT" inside my vagina...maybe just the tip, but I think he was really in there. I was RAPED, Tootie! Could you pass me those Doritos, I have to process."

Nat: "I wonder if I could get pregnant?"

Tootie: Nat, that was 40 years ago!

Hey Nat, think of all the money you'll save on maternity clothes...you can wear your regular ones."

^ Natalie is the only girl I know who's worn nothing but elastic and caftans since the 5 grade.

Mrs G: Just because you were dressed as the "Little Tramp," doesn't make you a Tramp, Natalie.

Natalie: But I felt his hot, swelling manhood in my hand. I gripped it and started pumping. [Hysterical] I liked it Mrs Garrett,I wanted him inside me!

These sublime girth jokes! You gentlemen must really kill them on the playground!

Off topic, but here’s hoping that Beanie is casted as Bobbi in the Company revival off Broadway!

Thanks to DL I'm now afraid to walk by fast food dumpsters. She could be out there, waiting.

This morning, I watched as Natalie Green moved into a NYC loft with David Spade and Richard Grieco.

The only thing that saved her from being raped was the lack of a full season pickup.

Nat, if you're out there, Amazon has mistletoe and ski masks, 40% off(reg. prices).

For whatever it's worth...Mindy & Lisa have left Twitter. I'm not sure when, of if either of them posted that they were leaving, but their accounts are gone.

Natalie is out trying to catch dick...she has no time for the Twitter-verse.

Seriously Nat, we're all worried about you.

And Blair thinks if you'd try to lose a few pounds, he might actually stick it in your next time.

^ Tootie!

That's not what I said!

Yeah, what she said was that he probably gave up when he couldn't get his dick past Nat's gunt.

R283 nailed it.

Danny Masterson. Not exactly Natalies pick, but beggars...

Yeah Tootie,

You know that feeling just before you take the first bite of a Big Mac that you've waiting for...

You're mouth is all ready - you can smell it and almost taste it...

Then Mrs. Garrett make you put it down without even tasting it...

The perp was apprehended but the record had been sealed. I have it on good authority that it was the oldest Drummond boy.

^ Oh Nat, that would have been some good dick...

I was molested Natalie.

It's almost Christmas.

What will Natalie be getting...?

Natalie green became Sam Smith and she’s dressing up like a tart now just asking to be raped.

Whore

In the dark, pitch black, she can still suck the chrome off a tailpipe.

Such a classic tv moment

Bump

Timing is everything.

Fat girls who are dressed like Charlie Chaplin are irresistible to would-be rapists.

It was dark, I really couldn't see her that well.

Who did Tootie go to the party dressed as? Some common whore?

I should be so lucky.

Does anyone remember when Natalie sang the chorus to Willie Nelson’s “On The Road Again”? I believe she was trying to impress Mrs. Garrett’s visiting son.

Did they fuck?

Tonight, on a Very Special Episode of The Facts Of Life...

Off topic, but I love that episode "i'm dancing as fast as I can" with Blair's boyfriend Cliff as the male stripper at "Wedgewoods"! laugh!

alot of great looking built guys at the club as strippers in the background, including actual real life chippendale dancers like the gorgeous dan peterson....and handsome sexy actor Larry Poindexter as the waiter flirting with old ole Mrs. Garrett is sexy...

Always thought it was odd though that Cliff flirted with Mrs. Garrett! It seemed a bit over the top,(the director's direction), even to the point where when blair and he arrive to greet her, Cliff and Mrs. Garrett actually kiss on the lips?!!... Do all men 30 plus years younger kiss their girlfriend's house mother like this? True, it wasn't like making out or French kissing, but still!..

Have to say in my kinky fantasy, I envision Mrs. Garrett total change in her uptight moral personality and becoming a horny old broad, and regularly secretly screwing the men young enough to be her sons strippers from Wedgewoods, including behind blair's back, her boyfriend! laugh!..

The clapping is a lovely touch.

She’s not my type

I don't know her.

Bump
