From the Genie column:

Three years before sitcom, "The Facts of Life" would feature a handicapped character (Geri), "Genie" would have Alex, a paraplegic with deductive powers impressive enough to be Genie's crime fighting consultant.


I was one of the first to recognize the importance of having token handicapped people in the cast of a television show. What I don't agree with, is having handicapped people write the script, as must've occurred for the Facts of Life reunion show last night.

Tried to watch it. Couldn't watch it. Really awful. Natalie's got two boyfriends? Tootie wants to be called Dorothy? Great plot twists. I was really on the edge of my seat. My toilet seat, anyway... emptyting the contents of my stomach.


You take the good/you take the bad/remove the good and there you have/The Facts of Life Reunion show
