Lisa Whelchel could not act. At all. Why not call her "Lisa Welcher"?

[Deja Q]

Don't believe me? Well, you go sit through a few dozen "The Facts of Life" episodes and prove me that she CAN act.

[flvegan]

1. She did a better job at being "Blair" than I could have.

I always thought Joe was the hot one.

Hard to believe Molly Ringwald was on that show.

[Jamastiene]

3. I always had a crush on Joe.

At one point, I had a crush on Mindy too, but never Blair. I wanted to pop a cap in Blair's ass with my BB gun. :evilgrin:

[Deja Q]

6. Jo was hot, but I have a thing for Natalie too.

:)

Blair was a walking make-up and bleach ad... though nowhere near as plastic looking as Paris Lohan and today's other walking make-up bleach ads...

2. Hey, Howard Wolfson!

Enough with your negative attacks!

Blair rulz!

[Deja Q]

7. No

:rofl:

[philosophie_en_rose]

4. She's apparently a freeper nutjob who pours hotsauce on children in the name of Jeebus.

If her character wasn't like that, she can act to some degree.

[pink-o]

5. wasn't George Clooney on that show as well?

The only one who isn't part of those "where are they now" docs!

[Deja Q]

8. Toward the end of the series, they had to reinvent themselves and bring in new characters

Even funnier how George always got roles, whose names were "George" too... :D

[pink-o]

9. I just remember his hair on "Roseanne"

:rofl: :rofl:

10. Not many people on tv can...

...of that group, only Cloris could...God, she showed up in everything, didn't she?

[bbernardini]

11. Let's not forget her Christian pop album, featuring the talents of one Mr. John Patitucci on bass.

I actually have a copy of this on vinyl. Purchased for several reasons:

1. It was cheap.
2. It's an album by freakin' Lisa Whelchel.
3. It's an album by freakin' Lisa Whelchel with a member of Chick Corea's band on it. Seriously, what self-respecting music collector and pop culture enthusiast can pass that up?

12. Now, who was watching a Facts of Life marathon?

Whose life is that sad? :rofl: ;)

[Deja Q]

13. I haven't seen that show in years.

Doesn't mean my life isn't sad, it still is...

Wanna help me make it happy? :P


















(Hmmm, thought not :rofl: )
