5.0 out of 5 stars Eastland Academy's Final Year - Episodes with Descriptions, January 26, 2010

By 

A.B. (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Facts of Life: The Complete Fourth Season (DVD)

It has been nearly four years since Sony Pictures have released The Facts of Life: The Complete Third Season on DVD. Today, January 26, 2010, Shout! Factory has announced the next installment: The Facts of Life: The Complete Fourth Season to be released May 4th, 2010 on DVD. Not only does the 4 disc set contain all 23 full length episodes, but one of the special features will include The Facts of Life: Goes To Paris 2 Hour Movie, which, was aired on NBC only days before the fourth season premiered in the fall of 1982.

This marks the last season of the show at Private School Eastland Academy, where the 1983-1984 season starts the beginning of a new era for the show: Edna's Edibles. But let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet. Guest Stars for the fourth season include Eve Plumb (Brady Bunch), Jimmy Baio, David Ackroyd, Gary Hudson, Geri Jewell, Chip Fields (Kim Fields 'Tooties' mother). Mrs. Garrett and the girls learn more about the Facts of Life during Blair and Jo's senior year at Eastland. The season finale featured a double-length episode where Blair and Jo graduate Eastland Academy only to enroll in Langley College in near Peekskill, New York. This season also marks a memorable episodes where Natalie wears her infamous lightning bolt hat in the pillow fight episode, Take My Finals Please!

These episodes are great, the first couple seasons seemed not to quite find it's niche and the writing was very 'cheesy'. As the girls grow up, the subject matter also tends to mature. It just get's better from here on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sony, Quit Jerkin' Us Around, May 23, 2008

Dear Sony,

Many of us have faithfully bought all the previously released seasons of "The Facts of Life." We have been waiting patiently for over a year now while you guys have forgotten us because of your financially-driven zest to release currently syndicated 'classics' like "Two and a Half Men" (either that, or you've been sitting in the corner eating boogers). Don't get me wrong - most of us who loved the "Facts" girls back in the day are happy that fellow 80s star Jon Cryer has a steady job, but, honestly, give us our "Facts."

NOW!!!!!

Uh, pretty please. Don't make us go harass Charlotte Rae for answers.
