From Season 3, Episode 20 ‘Kids Can Be Cruel’ – During the preparations for a box lunch charity auction, the girls are gazing over an Eastland/Bates “Slam Book”, in which those writing the comments are identified by numbers instead of names. Mrs. Garrett is horrified by the cruel comments in there. When Blair reveals to one of the Bates boys that Natalie is number 10, Natalie gets her revenge by telling a Bates boy named Carl Price, whom the other boys tease because of his severe acne, which of the box lunches belongs to Blair.

About The Facts of Life: At the Eastland School in Peekskill, New York, Edna Garrett (Charlotte Rae) oversees the day-to-day lives of students who come from all walks of life. Under the care of this slightly nutty but always caring housemother is the beautiful, rich and spoiled Blair Warner (Lisa Whelchel); the witty, plump and impressionable Natalie Green (Mindy Cohn); Dorothy “Tootie” Ramsey (Kim Fields), the young and persistent campus gossip; and Joanna “Jo” Polniaczek (Nancy McKeon), a Bronx-born and bred streetwise kid whose tough exterior masks the brains and compassion she’s hiding underneath. Whether it’s the challenges posed by Eastland’s academic and social scenes, the rise, fall and rebirth of the businesses they start and run together, or the comings and goings of new faces in school and town, including Edna’s replacement (and sister) Beverly Ann Stickle (Cloris Leachman), the girls are always ready for a new challenge, and perceptive enough to learn from each new situation.

  1. I'm wondering why they changed carl from having acne to a mouth gaurd in live from a studio audience? Are we really like that in 2024? Can't it just be what it is.

  2. My God, there are scenes in this that I haven’t seen in years! I can’t believe how much the shows have been shortened because of commercials.😡😡😡😡

  3. I always considered Lisa Whelchel (Blair Warner) the blonde and taller Valerie Bertenelli.

  4. Back in the day, body shaming was just another joke for some folks. Not my scene to be all "woke," but hey, at least we've moved on from that nonsense 🙄

  6. This show is my adult bottle in a crazy 2024 world were we are being bombarded with tic toks, woke and horrible idols for teens …..

    Thank you slow 1980s style …..thank you !

  7. Its amazing how clean they've made this episode. The vast majority of shows recorded at Metromedia Square always look better than CBS TV City or NBC Burbank. It's a shame Metromedia was demolished for a high school in LA, so many iconic 70s and 80s shows were recorded there before it was purchased by Murdoch and became the Fox TV Centre, so glad I got to see the building. Great memories these shows are.

  8. Natalie is so funny she is just too cute with the best 1 liners and come backs. Poor Carl kids teens can be so cruel to take the spot light of themselves in a dog eat dog world. Thank God Mrs G was there to reprimand the poor uncharitable behaviour. PS Jo's teeth are so white are they cosmetically so?

  9. Omg! Paul Zohloom, the actor who played Mr. Beakman & Chris on the kenan and kel show! He was so young back then!

  10. Mrs. Garrett has raised her own kids and worked with them for years….and she’s shocked they can be cruel? She’s just now learning this?!

  11. Bullying is the meanest thing to do to anyone 😢! Blair got what she deserved for ratting out Natalie. I guess Blair realized that Carl was cool after all. Lesson here: "Looks aren't everything "! Personality & the inner soul is only to be counted in life.

  12. For the last 2 years, I’ve had an idea for an episode of “The Facts of Life” where Jo discovers a Bates boy has autism.

    They should’ve done such an episode.
