Wow, there's a blast from the past! I loved that girl. She had some wonderful sweater puppies. Whatever happend to her? I never saw her in anything before or after that show. She dropped off the planet.

Looks like she's holding up ok. I did some googling myself and she's pretty much kept a pretty low profile since the 80's. Even her page on the IMDB is pretty sparse. He last "notable" appearance was as a bra salesperson on Curb Your Enthusiasm.

According to her Wiki page (I know, not the most trustworthy source, but...) Lydia has gone on to become a successful political commentator, author, and playwright. So I guess she wasn't really a dumb blonde after all.

I can't seem to post a picture on this board but an actress I used to have a cubby for was French babe Emmanuelle Seigner from the Harrison Ford flick 'Frantic', I used to think she was a major babe, probably due to her French accent. I believe she still acts and married director Roman Polanski.

I'm sure I can't be the only child of the 70s who had a thing for Dana ("Diff'rent Strokes") Plato... y'know, before the whole cocaine addiction/attempted robbery/drug overdose thing anyway...

For some strange reason when I was 8 or 9 I used to have thing for Jo off the Facts of Life, which helps explain my later day crush on Joan Jett.

Ahhh, "The Facts of Life." Back then I had a thing for Blair, dunno exactly why. Must've been that awesome 80s hair.

I can tell you, who I did not have a thing for on the Facts of Life was Natalie.

Troo dat. I would've rather seen Mrs. Garrett naked than Natalie.

I donot know what is scarier that we have admited that we have watched Facts of Life or that we still remember the name of the characters

I liked Jo when I was a kid as well! Never liked Blair.

I was a fan of Jo too. Blair was ok, but much too bitchy.

I think it was Blair's sheer bitchiness that I liked. In my prepubescent mind I probably thought "Oh yes, I could tame that wildcat. Yes, I could."

We have lived parallel lives all this time....

Scariest of all is that I still remember the words to the theme song.

"You take the good you take the bad
You take'em both and there you have the Facts of Life, the Facts of Life
There's a time you gotta show'em
Now you're growin' and you know about the Facts of Life, the Facts of Life
When the world never seems to be livin' up to your dreams
Suddenly you're finding out the Facts of Life are all about you
Youuuuuu...."

Somebody kill me.

I believe Alan Thicke (the dad from Growing Pains) wrote or co-wrote the Facts of Life theme song.

Great now I have this stupid song stuck in my head, almost makes me wish for some Limp Bizkit.

Limp Bizkit should cover the "Facts of Life" theme song. It would be even gayer than their George Michael cover.

That reminds me, the Mom on "Growing Pains" was a major MILF.



Ooooh yeah!

Remember Night Court?

Markie Post. She's holding up pretty well these days. I saw her on an episode of "Scrubs" the other night and she looked pretty good.

Night Court was my favorite sitcom EVER... and not just because of Ms. Post (though it didn't hurt that she was a hottie)... quite simply one of the funniest shows in TV history. Dan Fielding is my idol.

For some reason the last two pics remind me of times spent alone.......

The Growing Pains mom was super MILFy!!!
