Product: The Facts of Life - The Complete Third Season (1979)
Rating: 5.0
Nat, Jo, Blair, and Toot still ROCK!
These shows stand the test of time well. Anyone much over the age of 30 will, of course, feel as aged as I do watching them with all the references to early 80's politics and pop culture but it is so refreshing. I had forgotten how this show truly set the standard for so many "4 women comedies" to come down the pike - Golden Girls, Designing Women, Living Single, Sex & The City, Desperate Housewives... and how many topical issues are handled - and handled so well by the brilliant players headed by the quintessential matriarch, Mrs G! Frequent cameos featuring the marvelous Geri Jewell as Cousin Geri are the icing on an already delicious cake. This is a must have for anyone who either grew up in the 80's as I did or who has a curiosity as to what life was like to be young in the 80's. You take the good, you take the bad, you take 'em both and there you have... THE FACTS OF LIFE!!! Bring on Season 4 please!!!!
