Reviews

Tom Shales
Washington Post
It's all lamely and depressingly predictable as the decline of the dollar. The decline of the networks is predictable too, but hardly depressing considering the The Facts of Life and the machinery that produced it.

If you think it sounds like "Dorothy," the series starring Dorothy Leaden, you're far from wrong.

Main virtue of The Facts of Life is that it's not a rerun. But even a skillful comedienne needs help and Charlotte Rae doesn't get much from this show about a housemother teaching a student that beauty is more than being pretty.
