Gotcha on Good Times. The boy who played Michael turned into hot stuff around the 4th season and I had a mad crush.

You do know there was a spin off of Bewitched about Tabitha and Adam. Poor Adam was not half witch, his sister got all the fun. the show only lasted a season.

I'm all for the Buffy and Bewitched sequels... I would add a Lost in Space... Judy and Penny and their children fathered by Don and Dr. Smith. And Will has fathered a few with an alien... The robot looks the same...

As far as Facts of Life. I would make Jo gay, but I would have Blair have just been experimenting when they would fool around when they were younger. Blair is now married with kids. Natalie is the other girl from the circle of friends who is really gay and she's always had a thing for Jo but never thought she could compete with Jo's feelings for Blair so she's been eating her emotions ever since.
