To bolster ratings in 1985, producers had Mrs. Garrett's bakery, Edna's Edibles, destroyed and replaced by the Over Our Heads gift shop. Rae left the series the following year.

Charlotte's mother was a childhood friend of late Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir.

7. Me too, #2. He was cute back then. She was the best! Loved that show. The episodes they did back then are still very timely for today. If it weren't for the hairstyles and clothes, you could put it on the air and not miss a beat.
