After reading the many positive comments about this show, I felt obliged to give my opinion. This show was a "sitcom" As such it is supposed to be funny. To me, thats the measure of a good sitcom...whether or not it is actually funny. Yes, I know this show dealt with some serious issues...loss of virginity, etc. To be honest, I hate when sitcoms attempt to do "serious" shows. There's a certain pretentiousness to this. This aside, "Facts of Life" was just was not a funny show. The first season was bearable, but when they brought in Nancy McKeon ("Yeah...I'm from da Bronx")it hit the skids, and continued to go downhill, especially when they brought in Chloris Leachman. I realize not every show can be "Seinfeld", but when a sitcom is produced for TV, the show should be FUNNY, and "Facts of Life just wasn't
