I do wonder if they'll try to get Clooney for the Facts of Life. He is friendly with Kimmel. Of course, it wouldn't really make sense to do a Facts episode from Clooney's season; the show had run out of gas by then.

Don't get hopes up for bicycle store episode--that was a two-parter.
Should we assume Ann Dowd does double duty as Mrs. Garrett on both shows?

They could bring him in to play another character... the principal from the early years?

So, 40- and 50- somethings playing teenagers, but no Steve Buscemi?

So are we just mocking these original shows now? These specials started out cool, but with this most recent special it just feels like Kimmel and company are going with gimmick casting.

Damon Wayans is Willis? Considering his track record for TV, he'll likely drop out during rehearsals or walk off during the live show.

Especially since one of the intentions by the creators of The Facts of Life was to have actual teen girls portraying teen girls. But then they threw that out the window when all the girls wore short-shorts even though it's supposed to take place in upstate NY during the school year. (Although I was 12 when the show first came on, so that was about as close to heaven for a pre-teen boy as you can get without actually dying)

I was wondering who would be playing Kimberly. They chose to adapt an episode that she doesn't appear in.

This airs tonight. I’m kind of excited about it. While cast was on Jimmy Kimmel last night.

Tonight is live.. but they had a rehearsals on Sunday and they taped last night just in case something goes wrong with the broadcast tonight as a safety precaution so there would be something to air.

Lisa Welchel.....wow. Folks, she's 58 years old. Ann Dowd was great though. Aniston was just Rachel pretending to be Blair, as someone else pointed out. Overall not very good. Just started "Diff'rent Strokes". So far this is worse.

They’re killing it with these retro commercials.
