Maureen McGovern singin' herself silly. Damn, she was good! Great show, and even better theme song.

And then there's...

Although the episode where Evie sang a Belinda Carlisle's "Leave a Light On" was a painful moment:

Blue - you picked up on my theme!

You know, I didn't care THAT much for that little musical BARE - BUT, when the nun said, "Inside every gay man is a black woman screaming to get out!", I just had to howl and clap re: I used to LOVE these theme songs!!!

I blame Besty!

DG, I hear ya. Modern R&B doesn't do much for me, but if the only male voices I could ever listen to for the rest of my life were Donny Hathaway, Sam Cooke and Marvin Gaye, I could deal with it. And Roberta Flack is divine. Talent and class all the way.

Anyway, I LOVED this theme song, and have so much affection for this show. Sure it could be cheesy here and there, but I love that there was actually a time when school kids could look at other school kids on television that didn't look like they stepped out of a fashion magazine. In it's heyday, after Molly Ringwald and the Cindy Brady lookalike but before "Edna's Edibles" and Bev:

P.S. Look! It's Jason Castro (okay, it's a young Nancy McKeon...)

Blueroses, the first time I saw Jason Castro I immediately thought of Nancy McKeon! I love the Facts of Life. I wish they'd churn out the dvd seasons a little faster!

I once rented the first season of Gimmie a Break. I got through about two episodes. It does NOT hold up.
