I had wanted to add this to the goofs but could not locate where to do this. Possible Spoilers ahead.
This episode seems like a filler episode. It's not a bad episode, interesting to get each of the main character's viewpoint on Eastland. In terms of goofs it's about when this episode aired vs when it was produced. Just wanted to list the things that make this so glaring.
Again, the episode is different in theme than a normal one but it was still good. Just not sequential to the season. Curious why they aired it much later than they made it.

- The copyright at the end of the credits dates this episode to 1984 but it aired as the season 6 finale in May 1985.
- The interviewer asks Natalie what the school is like in '1984'.
- During the Tootie interview, it appears like an autumn day, leaves are changing colors.
- Tootie tells the interviewer that she is a 'Junior' and that she will take her 'SATs next Spring'.
- In the previously aired episode Natalie graduates from Eastland & Tootie makes a point of being upset that she is a year behind her. Had it been produced for when it aired she would be a Senior.
- As someone had mentioned in the goofs, Natalie graduated in the previous episode but is shown in her uniform on campus as a student.
- During the interview of Jo her hair is long as it was in the beginning of season 6, rather than shorter as it is in the previously aired episode. Same for Blair.
