What a catchy tune! :) You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have THE FACTS OF LIFE... A spin-off of the tremendously popular Diff'rent Strokes, THE FACTS OF LIFE is the hilarious series that follows Mrs. Edna Garrett (Charlotte Rae) and her mission as housemother to instill values in the girls of Eastland School. The large first season cast included John Lawlor, Jenny O'Hara, Lisa Whelchel, Felice Schachter, Julie Piekarski, Kim Fields, Molly Ringwald, Julie Anne Haddock, and Mindy Cohn. By the second season, the show focused on Mrs. Garrett and just four Eastland girls - spoiled Blair, gossipy Tootie, wise-cracking Natalie, and rebellious Jo. Under Mrs. Garrett's guidance, these four go from wide-eyed school girls to mature young women...all while learning THE FACTS OF LIFE. Guest stars include the cast of Diff'rent Strokes, Helen Hunt and Richard Dean Anderson of TV's MacGyver. Includes all 29 laugh-packed episodes from Seasons One and Two.

I purchased this DVD for a friend of mine, and when I gave it to her; she went nuts! She loves old 70s sitcoms and never thought she would see this one again.
Thanx for making me "The Man" when it comes to finding old hard to find stuff.

I watched The Facts of Life as a child and teen growing up. When they stopped the show I was bummed. They didn't do many reruns of it like they do a lot of shows. I don't buy seasons on DVD normally, but when this was out and I saw it, I knew I had to have it! I would recomend all the seasons of The Facts of Life!
It is a great series!

Fun ShowFun series. Not Shakespeare (sp) but good clean fun (thats a good thing, cause Shakespeare kinda sucks). The second season has some very enjoyable laughs. Fun to see after all these years.

Won the Facts of Life DVD on 9/28/06. Still have not received it as of yet. Contact seller a least four times and still no response. I made a mistake of leaving a positive feeback to this seller, for another auction item I had won. I am not very happy with this deal and neither my wife.

The Facts of Life - The Complete First and Second SeasoReview created: 08/08/06

One of the great coming-of age shows of the 80's. What makes this disc set so interesting is that season 1 & 2 are almost entirely different shows. While both are set at Eastland, one is set in the dormitory and one is set in the commisary. The first season sported a large ensemble cast, including a young Molly Ringwold, while the second season focused on three girls in particular and a rowdy newcomer, although the other girls would make occasional cameos. While I enjoyed the first season, at times the story lines seemed a little unfocused and the girls could tend to get petty and whiny. The second season however was a breath of fresh air. Most notably when Jo showed up and challenged the accepted norms for the priveleged academy girls. Focusing on the four girls also allowed the writers to focus on the issues of the individuals and gave the viewers a more in depth look at their, and Mrs Garrett's, characters. Whether you have pre-teen to teen children, remember this series from your younger days, or are still in your younger days. You will enjoy this light hearted look at the trials and tribulations, though not all their troubles were light-hearted, of growing up.

The good and the bad on The Facts of Life0 of 2 people found this review helpful.
I loved the show The Facts of Life. When I heard it was coming out on DVD I had to have it. I can't wait until the rest of the seasons come out.
A must have for any fan. Watch Jo, Blair, Nattalie, and Tootie learn the facts of life!

I really love the facts of life. I especialy enjoy watching Nancy McKeon and Lisa Whelchel. I bought this collection because it reminded me of how much fun TV was back then and how each script revolved around everyday issues.
