This was discovered and shared by FOL Fan Ryan C on the “Facts Of Life Fans” FB page. I had never seen this. And my brain is exploding. (And not just from Ed Asner being the male voice to kick things off.) The FOL gang appears at 3:38 — LITERALLY the last show featured — but more curiously, the cast of The Jeffersons appears at 3:23 … very animatedly singing IN THE EASTLAND CAFETERIA!! WTFFFFF??? (Actually it is easily explained: Even though they’re on competing networks, they’re both Norman Lear shows and taped at the same studios.) Other fun/weird stuff:
No Erik Estrada in the CHiPs segment @ 1:05, but instead we get Caitlyn Jenner, on the far left, during her 6-episode stint as ‘Officer Steve McLeish.’ Watch for young Jason Bateman @ 2:55, on the upper right, with the cast of Little House On The Prairie.
