The Facts of Life: Big Apple Blues (1988)
Season 9, Episode 22
3/10
Cringeworthy spinoff attempt. Not funny. Wasted budget.
3 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Tootie and Natalie go to Soho New York so Tootie can audition for a part. They stay at an apartment of an old friend of Natalie's, where four strange people live. Natalie decides she wants to live there with them. This is a spinoff attempt.

I love Mindy Cohn and her character of Natalie and would have liked to have seen more of her, but this spinoff attempt was stinky. Not funny and frankly cringeworthy to watch. I just wanted to ff through it. Why does Natalie want to live there exactly? The place seems overcrowded. These people are complete strangers. I know Nat was a bit of a wanderer wanting to experience different things in order to inspire her writing, but the only thing these people inspired was boredom.

A couple of cast members for the potential spinoff included David Spade(Just Shoot Me, SNL, Joe Dirt), and Richard Grieco(21 Jump Street).

I don't know? I just feel like they wasted money on this when they could have been using the money for a better send-off for the girls and the show. 3/10.
