If you begin Facts of Life after season 2, it’s easy to not realize it’s a spinoff of Diff’rent Strokes. They have very different tones and appeals.
Watching season 1 and season 2, it feels weird whenever Gary Coleman pops up. He was phased out after the show began standing on its own.
It doesn’t help that Different Strokes went on for eight seasons and Edna only appears in the first two.
