God Bless Mrs. Garrett. She was good on The Facts of Life and Different Strokes and she will really be missed.

One thing I understand now about this show through every season; they became more than a group of friends, they became a family.

A show that premiered in the last year of the 70s ended in 1988 and couldn’t look more 80s than in its last season. The fashion and everything changed so rapidly in 9 years.

This theme song will stick in your head forever!!

[Wickypapa]

I loved this show! How I do miss the 80’s.

[KKAkuoku]

This and the Diff’rent Strokes theme song never fail to boost my mood.

[ChrisHansonCanada]

I remember how each episode had the big dramatic moment right before the first commercial break with some type of crisis being revealed.

There is something about the smile of nancy mckeon, magnetic.

Kim Fields grew up learning THE FACTS OF LIFE, then as adult, she started LIVING SINGLE.

As a kid I wanted to own a store like “Over Our Heads”

I loved this show when I was younger! ❤

[erinmalone]

I always loved the little store in this season. It’s so very 80s and looked really fun to be in.😊

i like this version of this show's theme song the best!

[nathanbush]

One of my favorite sitcoms of all time!

[OneLoveRSR]

"When the world never seems / To believe and uh-oh your dreams" AND
"It takes a lot to get a ride / When you're learning the facts of life" were the two misinterpretations my child brain formulated back in the 80s every time I watched this show.

[seantape]

Goodbye Mrs. Garrett & thanks! RIP Charlotte Rae...

[bigbubba]

You have to admit, this theme song is catchy.

[Chrisgod]

[JayPattersonTV]
