Here is a failed TV Pilot for an American version of “Are You Being Served?” With Charlotte Rae as Mrs. Slocombe. We guess that she filmed this in 1978 before she started on “Diff’rent Strokes” even though this pilot wasn’t broadcast on CBS until May 5, 1979 — the night after the final episode of Season 1 of “Diff’rent Strokes” — which was the back door pilot for “The Facts Of Life!”
Celebrating "The Facts Of Life," One Of The Greatest Sitcoms of the 1980s!
“Let’s Face The Facts” has completed its analysis every episode (and all 3 TV movies) from “The Facts Of Life!” We are no longer producing new episodes.
My name is David Almeida, and I love the 1980s sitcom “The Facts Of Life.” From 2018 to 2023, I watched and analyzed every episode (and all 3 TV movies!) of this incredible series, joined by my friend/co-host Matthew Arter. All 229 episodes are available here and on all major podcast apps/platforms.
Still want more? From 2023 to 2024 we did 50 episodes of "TV Talkaholics," a Facts-Of-Life-adjacent podcast in which we re-watched and analyzed TV series, specials, and movies featuring cast members from the show. (More info at tvtalkaholics.com.)
Thank you to all of our devoted listeners over the years! And remember: The Facts Of Life Are All About YOU.
