“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.

Full "Facts Of Life" Theme Song

October 23, 2018

Gloria Loring, who co-wrote and performed the theme song, recorded a FULL LENGTH version of the song on her album “A Shot In The Dark” in 1984. It contains the rarely-heard second verse lyrics. Very fun. And VERY 1980s. (LOL to the erroneous pic of Melissa Etheridge at 2:11!)

You take the good, you take the bad
You take ‘em both and there you have
The Facts Of Life The Facts Of Life

There’s a time you gotta go and show
You’re growing now, you know about
The Facts Of Life The Facts Of Life

When the world never seems
To be living up to your dreams
And suddenly you’re finding out
The Facts Of Life are all about you, you

When there's someone that you care about
Who really isn't there enough
To slow you up when you're growing up
When you let him flirt and then you hurt
Waiting 'cause your date is late for showing up
Then you're growing up!

Well it's more than just the birds and the bees
You need someone telling you please!
There's only one conclusion
There will always be confusion over you, you

It takes a lot to get 'em right
When you're learning The Facts Of Life

You’ll avoid a lot of damage and
Enjoy the fun of managin’
The Facts Of Life
They shed a lot of light
If you hear ‘em from your brother
Better clear ‘em with your mother
Better get ‘em right
Call her late at night

You got the future in the palm of your hands
All you got to do to get you through is understand
You think you’d rather do without
You’ll never muddle through without the truth
The Fact Of Life are all about you!
