2/10.A show of its time that wasn't necessary.Ms Rae was OK though I thought it was beneath her.Cloris Leachman at least tried.The whole show of four girls at some prestigious private school in New York, supposedly being friends which I could never buy.A snotty rich girl, a chubbie, one token black girl, and one girl so butch you wondered when she'd come out.Yeah and also the times they'd had Geri, cousin of the rich one who had cerebral palsy.I don't have a problem with this but let's face it, they used this poor actress because she had this for ratings.Oh and I loathed how they had the rich one's mother in her 40's become a single mother.If anyone likes this then good for them, they'll watch anything sappy and dopey.

Shoplifting - S2-E6
Question: Jo, Blair, Natalie, and Tootie look for a birthday present for Mrs. Garrett. When they find a shirt for her, Jo decides to try it on. When she comes out of the dressing room to show it off, why did a security guard immediately walk up to them?
Answer: To let them know one of the exits was blocked off and told them to use the other one. Oh and Blair wasn't with them - she bought her own gift for Mrs. Garrett.
Answer: The dramatic reason is to move the plot along. But in real life, store workers can be suspicious of groups of teens because of the perceived higher risk of Shoplifting. So the security guard may have seen them go into the changing room and decided to see what they were up to.
