Oh man, I was 10 when this show ended its initial run, but I saw the last season and then I saw the rest of it in reruns....The Facts of Life, about a den mother raising these girls from high school to college and beyond. These theme song is performed by Lisa Whelchel, one of the cast members, and in the end she is joined by Kim Fields and Mindy Cohn.

Lisa and Kim are still beautiful and look 25! 😀

Bea on Three Pines was married to Mr. Bradley on #TheFactsOfLife. I wasn't expecting that particular Wikipedia rabbit hole to lead to Eastland.

The 2nd shot-for-shot intro remake I did was for #TheFactsofLife . I used a light kit (read: I tried using it; I didn't know what I was doing) but thankfully the cast (including my wife!) sold the hell out of it.
