THE FACTS OF LIFE spun off of Diff'rent Strokes and debuted on August 24th, 1979. School Dietian Mrs. Edna Garrett, played by actress Charlotte Rae, mentored and guided 4 girls: the snobby-rich Blair Warner (Lisa Whelchel), gossiping 'Tootie' Ramsey (Kim Fields), impressionable Natalie Green (Mindy Cohn), and street-wise Jo Polniaczech (Nancy McKeon) at the all exclusive private boarding school, Eastland Academy. After somewhat of a slow start, the show found it's audience and became one of the longest running sitcoms of the 1980's era and in television history to feature an all-female-cast.

As all sitcoms get older, they evolve over time. The girls graduated from Eastland Academy. Mrs. Garrett opened her own gourmet food shop 'Edna's Edibles' which later evolved into the 1950's style malt shop called, 'Over Our Heads.' In 1986, Charlotte Rae, decided to leave the show feeling that the girls had out grown Mrs. Garrett's advice. Her replacement was Cloris Leachman; who played her energetic and not so wise sister, Beverly Ann Stickle. Many other cast additions included: Molly Ringwald, Geri Jewell, Pamela Segall, Sherrie Krenn, George Clooney, and Mackenzie Astin. In the late 80's NBC was once again the number one network, and in September of 1988 the show that kept the network afloat was cancelled. In November 2001, the cast reunited to star in ABC's two hour The Facts of Life Reunion Movie.
