Primary

The show primarily focuses on the universal challenges of adolescence and personal growth, offering solutions rooted in individual responsibility, mutual support, and mentorship. It consciously balances various viewpoints without explicitly promoting a specific political ideology.

The series features visible diversity within its main cast, including a prominent Black character. Its narrative explores various life lessons and social issues relevant to its time, generally presenting traditional identities in a neutral or positive manner without explicit critique.

Secondary

The show often depicts Christian holidays and values with warmth and respect, integrating them into the characters' lives as a source of community and tradition without critique.

Natalie Green's Jewish faith is consistently portrayed with respect and warmth, highlighting cultural traditions and family values. The narrative uses her character to foster understanding and appreciation for Judaism.

The Facts of Life, a sitcom from the late 1970s and 1980s, did not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focused on the lives of young women in a boarding school, addressing various social issues of the time, but not LGBTQ+ identity or experiences.

The sitcom 'The Facts of Life' focused on the lives of young women at a boarding school, exploring typical adolescent issues. There are no identifiable transsexual characters or themes present throughout its run, aligning with the common television narratives of its era.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

The Facts of Life is a spin-off featuring new, original female characters and one returning character, Mrs. Garrett, whose gender remains consistent with her prior portrayal in Diff'rent Strokes. No established characters had their gender changed.
