Review of The Facts of Life

I saw a number of episodes of this when I was a kid as this is one of the shows my sister enjoyed and it is fair that she got to watch her show. Still, this one was painful for the most part to endure. Mainly because it started out so much more interesting than it turned out to be as it had a whole lot of girls as it was like an all girls school. Then they stripped the show down to like four stereotype girls and the show was simply one annoying episode after another. You had your rich girl, the poor girl, the fat girl and the African American girl. So you basically had clashes between rich and poor while other two were just goofy friends. The show would get worse and worse as it continued inexplicably for a whopping 209 episodes. I cannot believe this one was that much of a ratings juggernaut that it had more episodes than Night Court and Wings to much more polished shows than this girl squealathon. Of course, when you gear things towards teen girls you can usually have a hit I guess, I mean that kind of explains the whole Twilight phenomenon of today. Of course, I do not want to act as if I completely hate this show or anything as like I said the first season had its moments and some more interesting stories. It just went on to long, I mean how long are people who can not stand each other going to stay friends? (Rich girl and poor girl).
