Most of you probably don't know a show titled "Facts Of Life" but it was a dramedy in the 1980's that dealt with coming of age life lessons. In the first episode there was a slew of wonderful talent, characters, sets, locations and story lines but it didn't take long for the eXecutives to chop down almost every character and production set. The long famed "kids" show was paired down to the house mother, Enda and two girls with an addition of a bad seed bully third girl for nine seasons in the same bedroom, lounge, and kitchen/cafeteria. They even fired Edna after the first few years. They fired the young Molly Ringwald and other young actors after one or two episodes. Mr. Jones was lucky to get a two year gig on a Disney show and be one of the 6 top talents on it.

That is no small feat.

I really liked what his character brought and am sad to see him offed like that. It is surprising that they have test groups to rate and fire individual characters. Well, the good news is that Disney Corp. is WELL know for it's High Recycle rate of past employees and they seem to shape shift across all of their networks and shows (ABC, ESPN, Disney, DisneyXD, Disney JR, Disney Family Movies, ABC Family etc). As long as Alex hasn't done something really bad, Human Resources may keep him in the system for future projects. Best Of Luck!
