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.

Tootie Drives - S7-E14

Question: Tootie takes her driving test. The instructor tells Tootie to make a U-Turn and as she's halfway into it, the car stops. I think it was because the car ran out of gas. Because of this, Tootie fails the driving test. Why would the instructor fail Tootie? It wasn't her fault the car ran out of gas.

Answer: I didn't see that episode. When you take your driving test, you have to provide the car for the test, and the car has to be in good working condition. They check for that (blinkers working, etc.) So if the car runs out of gas, yes, it is your fault for not making sure the car had enough gas before the test.

Just saw the episode, and the car wasn't Tootie's. It belonged to the driving school.

You should watch the episode again because it didn't belong to a driving school. (She wasn't even in one). It was a hearse from Natalie's job at the funeral home.

Answer: Tootie didn't say she failed, just that she had to take the test twice because the instructor "wanted to make sure [she] belonged on the streets." It was even brought up that they maybe they should get gas and he said to go. So it wasn't about running out of gas, but all the distractions and antics that had occurred. Although it seems like an exaggerated line as a joke. Earlier she said you only get two chances (meaning to pass). If she had in fact failed this second time, it doesn't seem like the instructor would retest her right away. And if he did, why wouldn't she have been retested right away The First Time instead of having to schedule a 2nd test?
