I'm too young to know who these people are. I'm surpised I know what show this poll is about.

Back in the first year or so of the show, there were a few other "regulars", and I like a couple of them more than the eventual "core" 4. One was played by a really young Molly Ringwald and the other was a long haired blond whose name I don't recall.

Wasnt Nell Carter on this show?

If I recall correctly this was a spin-off of Different Strokes. Kimberly attended the school for a while or something.

Some of that initial core cast (Lisa Whelchel, Julie Piekarski) came from the cast of the New Mickey Mouse Club that had debuted a year or so earlier.

Mrs. Garrett was the Drumond's original housekeeper before they spun her into working as the housemother at the school on Facts of Life.

It's sad some of us know/remember this totally inconsequential stuff. :/

A little further research...

Back then I thought any one of Molly (Ringwald), Nancy (brunette), Sue Ann :wub: , or Cindy (tomboy) >>> any one of Blair, Jo, Tootie, or Natalie.

 

It had amazed and disappointed me that the worst four were retained, but I guess given the popularity they attained, what did I know.

After searching Nell Carter on Yahoo I got tons of results stating that she was a bi-sexual. :huh:

That actually means that she's so fat...having sex with her is like having sex with two people.

She died of a heart attack due to complications with diabetes about 5 years ago, by the way, so you're making fun of a dead person. :P

You know, Tex, it comes to my attention that you're not doing very well in the Soxtalk's Biggest Loser campaign...

 

You've still lost a whopping ZERO pounds.

If this plan involves drinking less beer, it's a failure.
