Product: The Facts of Life - The Complete Third Season (1979)
Rating: 4.0
A Good Thing Getting Better
While the third season of "The Facts of Life" is not my favorite season, it is still part of my favorite series. By season three we have everything that makes "The Facts of Life" work: Natalie, Tootie, Blair, and Jo, with their distinct, terrific personalities.It has been said that each Monkee was one quarter the perfect man, and the same can be said for the "Facts of Life" women: Blair is beautiful, inside and out, Jo is confident, certainly no push-over, Tootie is out-going and upbeat, and Natalie is gentle and creative. When added together these girls are a showcase of how friendship should work in the real world.As stated, this is my favorite series. Even the opening theme, with the words "When the world never seems to be living up to your dreams", makes me glad that as human beings we can dream bigger than our circumstances.
