228. TV Movie "The Facts Of Life Reunion" (Part 1) with Paul Padilla


Tootie Fruity Cody Found The Quote!

My question about where the fuck did Wikipedia get that quote about none of the original writers giving a shit (I’m paraphrasing, LOL) … Cody sent me the source! In the link below, Variety published a piece about its impending production:

““We chose to do it as an old-fashioned romantic comedy,” said Quinn Taylor, senior vice president of TV movies at ABC. “The writers captured the voices of these women, which in any of these reunion movies is the hardest thing to do.”

Taylor said the original “Facts” writers either “didn’t care, aren’t around or didn’t want to be a part of it.” Instead, Max Enscoe and Annie deYoung penned the script, with an assist by Kevin Hench (“Kiss My Act”) and Heather Juergensen.”

THANK YOU, CODY!!
