On pair with the golden girls hurricane story. Ben is now tying for my perfect mate for Blair. He's so much like Cliff, who doesn't care about money and love each other because of who they are. Also Nancy McKeon was really beautiful. I think Fly man's she's in a different world was perfect for the occasion and catchy

It was fun to see the girls get out and have fun away from an adult! Ben and Blair's relationship, while moving sort of fast, was a nice switch. It showed me that Blair can see through to the real person, and that money wasn't so important after all. She really grew up from the first few seasons. She was even going to go camping! I also liked Jo and Fly Man, they were a perfect match. It's too bad they couldn't have had a long term relationship. The guy Tootie hooked up with was obnoxious, but the guy Natalie met seemed sweet.

Flyman appears in another ep where the girls go to Alantic city and he lost his way. Hi helps him find his confidence again and tells him he's a good man. He dedicated another song to her dimond in her eyes. It was so sweet. I just hate how weird they made Blair though.

Yeah, Blair was different, that's for sure! The guy had such an attitude at first, it's almost like Blair fell for him just to prove she could like a guy who wasn't rich. It's almost hard to believe she really cared for him. I think Jo and Fly were a matched set! They even had the same hairdo LOL!

Also Tootie trying to hit up on a guy when they both were acting rich. It seems Tootie never gets a break in the love department until Jeff

Tell me Party are you getting caught up on some shows? I wish tv land and Nick at night still aired them.
Right now I'm on happy days, after that square pegs, the Addams family, the monsters and after that beauty and the beast or are you catching up on the facts of life?

I'm not trying to catch up, really. I just noticed that one of our cable stations was showing it over again so I caught a few episodes. Plus it is On Demand with Xfinity so I can search for old shows and watch them. I wish they all aired on TV too! At least there would be something on to watch.

I was watching this one yesterday, but I never really liked this episode. I know you have to suspend your belief some, but Natalie and Tootie getting into a bar so easily - with fake ID Jo made for them. Straight out of season 2 when Jo joins the cast - while they're underage, I just wasn't buying it... and then the hurricane. Having lived through several, they would know about it coming days or weeks in advance. It doesn't spring up on you like that. The panic would've set in way before and they would've been GONE!!!
