- Feeling neglected by T.J. (Willie Aames), Buddy attempts to make him jealous by exploiting the feelings of another classmate. Willie suspects his new job at an ad agency was earned because the boss (Samantha Eggar) finds him attractive.***Please Note: Subtitles cannot be turned off***
I lost my beloved daughter three months ago, and I am having a terrible time “ getting on” with life. I came upon these sweet episodes of Family, and I seem to be drawn to watching them. I don’t seem to hurt so bad when I watch them, I remember back in the late 70’s when my parents, sister, and even grandparents were alive, and my beautiful child was young and healthy. I much prefer this world to the one that is forced upon me now. 💔💔💔💔💔
May God bless you always and help heal your heart, mind and soul. ❤❤❤ Grace from Canada
I’m hurting and aching badly as well….for similar and different reasons…..but I still can feel the immensity of your loss and pain…..I too watch this show & tons of 70s/80s movies and shows…..to “live” in another time, a time that was more simple for me….I’m 52….I was 8 in 1979…..I barely have anything left now…..I’m so sorry…..I hope you have some love in your life…..some ….relief…..
🙏🕊💙
I am so sorry for your losses, both of you. I am also finding something in these episodes, something soothing. I started watching just for the nostalgia, but now I'm completely hooked on them. I think I am getting something valuable from the parenting of Kate and even from Doug. Take care, I hope the best for you.
so very sorry for your loss may you find comfort in your grieving . You aren't the only one that prefers yesteryear - I would be very content if life never passed 1998 .
The show is better than any show today!
No, it's not. Don't be ridiculous.
Quality shows back then. I'd Love to go back to this era.
This happened to me. I was a young adorable 19 year old and my dad just died in an automobile accident in Italy.
I was so vulnerable, but I figured this ass out. He was the boss, and invited me to lunches and then his family cabin. He said his whole family would be there. I found out just in time his family was in Mexico.
I told him off, publicly. It was a great feeling, I saw everyone in the office hanging out of their offices watching me putting him in his place.
I was fired. The next day. It was 1973 and I didn’t think I could do anything about it.
I figured karma would catch up to him eventually.
Good for you for being so very strong under all those circumstances.
It happened a lot in those days!😊
@@mario-qi3ywNot exactly, this started in the 70s and took off in the 80s.
wow! what a horrible person he was! there are always those types of predators who are waiting to take advantage of someone vulnerable.
I like that they switched this up and it was Willie on the receiving end of sexism and pressure on the job instead of Nancy or whoever.
Back when some television shows had some class.
Is the boss Joan Collins?
Okoo vacances
Well, here I am late for work again! I keep getting sucked into these great classic episodes! 😏
Sada Thompson was such a great actress, she was so smooth. Rip
I had all forgotten this show. I e been binging it the past few days and noticed how classy Sada Thompson was. I really enjoy watching her in this show.
@@erinbremer5490 Wx
I think all the cast was superb
Mom cooks a nice breakfast... the kids don't even bring the dish to the sink! LOL
@@SunrayStar you're right
I mentioned that in comments on a different episode. They seldom say please or thank you. And they don't push in their chairs. Emmett in the Little Brother episode stood up and pushed his chair in.
I was thinking that too. Poor mom just gets to clean up everyone's dishes. They just get up and leave.
Yeah, we even washed and dried them. Or else.
@@merrybluegirl8930That's how it was in those days. Why is everyone soo crazy about those years? The worst, ever!
I'm ill and would like to thank you for this show. I do enjoy it and its a head of its time.
I hope you are getting better each day. I too watch Family to soothe discomfort of my aging self.
I hope you feel better these days. I used t o love this show never missed an episode. Have a nice weekend.
I remember the phones that were "mounted" on the wall. Miss that. I guess. Loved the 70s. I had the most amazing clothes;I dressed like "Charlie's Angels!"
Still have one hardwired (google it) so you are in touch during a power outage! You snowflakes won’t be able to talk to anyone in an outage! Kamala may still geterdun fer ya!
@@donnap.2572 ~ Hahaha! Ya you tell em Donna. l dont know about renee, but l'm Canadian and cant stand what they're doing down there! STOLEN!!
@@donnap.2572 unfortunately, the phone companies are phasing out hard wired phones.
@@donnap.2572 Hick woman, there's no need to inject your cult trash into commentary that has nothing to do with it.

👍🏽💯🙄
I can’t thank you enough for these uploads. They are making me so homesick for yesteryear.
I'd love to live for a month in this wonderful tv drama and in that cozy, beautiful home!
That home is probably worth several millions today.
@@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc Especially with a guest house on the side.
@@bsota8513 The only way that I will afford a home of my own is to win the lottery!
Same here! I was 9 years old when this show aired and I always found it comforting. Especially today. ☺️
I sob every time I watch this terrific show!
Wow, you do? Is that cuz it brings back memories and stuff? It just struck me someone saying that…..that’s so honest, you’d don’t see that often….I hope you’re doing ok 2yrs or more on…..we’re all connected in mysterious ways…..
$225.00 a week in the mid 70's for staff photography was quite fetching back then, considering min wage was about $2.50 an hour!
well that also included the stud service that she expected from Willie as part of the package. When he didn't deliver.....the $225 salary was finito. Frankly speaking, Willie should have boffed her; she wasn't half bad.
Awwww!!! I’m so happy you make it possible to enjoy these wonderful episodes thank you 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 keep um coming 😊
Xanthas 71, Thanks for posting these episodes. I watched this show when it aired & I liked it. Thanks again for the walk down memory lane.
I really really love these old shows a whole whole lot
Good Willie episode. He showed a lot of maturity. I think he surprised Doug with that, and I liked it when Doug told him to trust his instincts. Doug is a bit of a goof but when necessary he is a very good father.
I miss shows like this
Willie was very mature for his age. Buddy was too but also very innocent and naive.
Mature? He was a complete loser. No sense of responsibility. Guy quits high school and can't understand why, when he starts a new job, he is asked to do unskilled tasks. And he never got it together throughout the series. Never made sense what the writers were trying to do with him.
@@gheller2261He quit high school? I thought he just didn't want to go to college?
It's depressing that Buddy is more mature than me and better adjusted. I'm almost 60 so I better get working on it. LoL.
ALWAYS LOVED THIS SHOW👍👍👍
Sada was gold.
A lot of people comment that the Lawrences drink excessively. I know my father made a drink every night when he came home from work. Sometimes my mother would join him, sometimes not. They would chat about whatever while dinner was cooking and then we'd eat. To me this seems fine.
Ernie is the same actor that played Elmer Dopkins on Little House On The Prarie. It was the episode where he was running for office as kind of a joke the kids played on him. His mom made him a new shirt...then the boys ripped it. That episode always made me so sad as a kid.
Great show and can’t thank you enough for the uploads ad
Samantha Eggar? She looks & sounds like Joan Collins.
...I was just thinking the same thing.
I was looking in the comments to see if that was Joan Collins. : )
@@lisalewis5664
LoL I did the same
Whoever you are Xanthas Thanks so much 👍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
You're welcome!
I loved their home. Cottage like
Willie doesn’t pay rent or support kids, he walks away from a job pretty painlessly.
He's also a high school dropout.
That’s because he can rely on his daddy Warbucks father
I do not believe he has any children. The older sister has one child.
My thoughts exactly. He's pretty irresponsible.
Loved watching this show after school.😊
My favorite series when I was growing up in buenos aires.
I still watch the reruns. Excelent actors, miss this quality of work today. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I had to chuckle that her sandwich baggie is a twist tie. No ziplocks back then! 😆
says who? Ziplocks were popular all through the 70's
julie mnm Well excuse me!
jewels wow!!! I missed those twist tie bags back then!
...I miss the tuck and fold sandwich baggies.
I remember those.
Yes ... ive always loved this show myself...
Thank you!
great upload, nice sharp picture
Such a sweet, classy show. They don't make them like this anymore, unfortunately.
Matthew Broderick’s dad plays the father in this show. Always loved this show.
yes Mike Nichols produced this he also directed Bilxoxi Blues which Matthew had a lead role in
Ob
First Nancy, and now Willy as victims of sexual harassment at work by their respective bosses. Same episode, different players.
Bobj
Same head shape
The sandwich bags needed a twisty tie..the ziplock kind wasnt invented yet. Lol
More simplicity with substance. The industry has really become more about trend and superficiality than content and story.
Buddy hates violence. She is very compassionate towards people.
Loved this show! We always watched it❤❤❤
I feel so bad for Kate everyone eats and no one picks up thier dishes it seems like she always has to do it
guess what, lady? im a 66 year old woman and i dont.drink smoke or throw my body around, theres a few decent ones of us out here, fiction, tv , or not.
So cozy and lovely. Simplicity
Thanks for posting I would like to see more episodes of this show episodes you haven't post.
I was a kid I the 60-70’s absolutely nobody talked like that. How does every woman in California want to fall in bed with Willie.
it's the bellbottom pants he always wears! ;-)
I don't know. He's so unappealing to me.
I don't find him attractive i that way either. I just like him as I would a brother. @@Theaddora
Because it's a show. Who wants a guy with a smaller waist than yours?!
this show touches me
It's really funny how when Willie comes down the stairs and sits and eats he is immediately completely stared at hard by Doug. Kate stares at Willie also but not as hard. Also interesting is that Willie doesn't mind being stared at.
Funny 😂
Someone in this family is always eating!!!
@@dafdfasdfdfasfdfadfd Doug and Kate are ALWAYS drinking. In real life James Broderick who played Doug was a Pisces. They are always looking for the water and the wine.
Ames from Eight is Enough. 🙂
And “Charles In Charge”
"You do know you're fired" lmao. Well that would be a lawsuit for her today. Make me so mad. I tell you🤨 It was nice to see Willie and Buddy both going through someone and not touching base with one another about it. It is so expected in most every episode so to see it not hapoen, was so obvious and missed. Good one💜👍
" I am the agency" get to love it.
''and i need to know before the
game on Saturday!"
Willie: writing ,music and photography all arts I suppose.
I think Willie would have made an excellent teacher. He was so kind to kids, and he was talented.
He’s fired? Sexual harassment lawsuit.
"It's hard to find someone who really understands." There is someone who understands Ernie, Buddy's mother (honk, honk).
I can't with Willy's hair in this episode, i like the flatter style better😂
They sure took long enough with that opening sandwich making shot 😂
I miss quality tv shows. Nothing but garbage today.
I thought for sure Norah McKay was played by Joan Collins. But it’s Samantha Eggar 😮
Thank you!!!! Couldn't figure it out
Willie (Gary Frank) said _Stupendous!_ He's my guy! l love that word! Rick Wakeman always used it!
I have always had a thing for Willie Aames!
he is creeeeepy now. look up some clips of him as Bibleman...lol
@@SnazzyDetritus 😂🤣
Okoo sur France 4
Samantha Eggar is mega creepy in this episode. The Rapacious female on the prowl.
i agree. i also want to acknowledge the writers for managing to wrap it all up so neatly and courteously, with only innuendo, no direct mention of what was actually going on. that's great wordsmithing!! ;-)
If she did that now she would probably have a lawsuit on her hands
@@KennethofTroy You couldn't bear to hear, "Willie, she wants your willy"?
Etchings. Years ago a jackass that lived in my building wanted to show me his laptop! Lol.
Do people really drink as much milk as this family does?
Yes! I had a HS friend from Hong Kong comment it once. So funny.
My family drank a lot of milk all the way through h.s. I graduated in 1980.
We drank milk like it was water. All the time. Loved it.
I'm wondering if the people that really like this show would also like the wonder years . The other favorite of mine.
Ahh the cougar episode nice
Buddy and TJ made a good couple.
And zack too!
I hated Buddy in this episode. She was wrong for using someone to make TJ jealous. Shame on her.
Many 15 year olds don't know any better
Buddy owned up to her mistake and apologized. Her doing so gave her friend the opportunity to reveal a misunderstanding and to explain what kind of relationship he wanted with her. Looks like they both have a valuable friendship to enjoy going forward.
I had the biggest crush on Buddy (Kristy McNichols) . I got so jealous of TJ (Willie Ammes).
Dan Braun In real life she only dates women.
Buddy was utterly sexless; a carpenter's dream. Flat as a board and never been nailed. I will take Nancy anytime.
@@robertcrestohl9709 Nancy was a big enough piece of trash she'd probably oblige you ;-)
Lol, Buddy is a was a boy.
Just before eight is enough started and we didn't see Willie. TJ anymore
Now, this would be CGI.
The parents look like grandparents of these kids.
They have a much older daughter who isn't in this episode.
Okoo ❤
Is Ernie the same kid in Little House where they force him to run for class president?
Yes. Eric Olson.
Yes! Elmer Dopkins was his characters name and the actors name was Eric Olsen...as said above. 😊
Kate, like so many women in the 20th century, was far far too smart and talented to end up becoming just a housewife and mother. Such a shame.
No such thing as “just” a housewife and mother. She devoted her adult life to raising and acculturating the next generation. That’s her life’s work and likely much more rewarding than getting a weekly paycheck in the Customer Service department.
@@spiritmatter1553 Her character literally goes back to college to earn her teaching certificate in music because she was SO bored and unfulfilled, lol!
I don't really see it that way at all. I feel that she just recognized that part of her job of raising a family was done and she finally had the time to develop her own interests and herself as a person. I think overall Kate would report being very happy with her life.
Kate recognized the value in having someone running the household and making sure the kids got what they needed to grow up to be responsible and healthy people. That is called parenting and its what people should realize when they decide to have a family. It takes a lot of smarts and talents to raise three kids. And Kate, when she had the time, did pursue her own interests. She is a wonderful mother and wife.
You just insulted housewives and mothers. Why does everyone look down on them as if they are worth less than a career woman? They are doing the most important job on earth and it is not everyone that is able to do it well. It requires a multitude of skills and attributes and great wisdom. Anyone who has ever put their talent and intellect into making a home and raising children has used their gifts very well indeed and not wasted them!
That lady needs some self respect ..smh..
The dark side of feminism (Nora), and the dark side of feminine wiles (Buddy)!
If Norah was a man , it would be considered horrible that men were setting up women to be used by the boss.. I still think it's gross...how Lustful she was and arrogant to think any man would just go for it and somehow feel honored they were chosen ...it's an ewww for me ... Men can be pigs but women doing it is nasty in a whole different way...women who aren't maternal...very narcissistic.
Willy was supposed to be willing to be used. So sad ..😒
But he was not willing, I'm glad he knew what was going on and walked away. What a horrible woman.
Willie Aames was a tough guy
First, don't apologize for the subtitles. I prefer them, and subtitles are accurate, whereas closed captioning is a joke. I watch everything with subtitles if they're available because I have tinnitus and subtitles allow me to read what I may not be hearing. Second, that woman was way out of line expecting more of Willie than just a job well done. It's sad to see sexual harassment whether from a male boss or a female one. I sort of wish Willie had shamed her a bit, told her he lost his wife recently and is not yet ready for intimacy with anyone. But that wouldn't be sending the right message, that this is a wrong thing under every circumstance.
That's terrible even her reaction at the end. Gosh if it was on the other foot. Though this way a women boss in the same situation seems weird. Different times ah. People idolize these times. Say better than today. But sorry all sorts of things happening behind the lines.
she wants a boy toy
Parents need to try and let go of adult children.
So many smother adult children and it drives us away.
The way Doug handles his childrens "coming of age" seems a bit archaic even for the .70's
The way the parents looked in their 50’s was archaic
The parents are products of their generation
every word out of his mouth has A Double Meaning. just like Bob Dylan 😎
Willie's boss sounded like Joan Collins. Even her mannerisms were the same.
Before Willie would wield the Sword of the Spirit
I'm not liking the TJ character at all any more. He is allowed to entertain other girls attention yet Buddy cannot spend time with another boy? I don't like the way he pressured Buddy to stop talking to Ernie and I don't like that Buddy gave in to him like that. I was expecting Buddy to tell TJ to take a hike. I know she was using Ernie, but she did at least come clean with him and if you ask me Ernie was the most mature one of the three of them. Buddy and TJ's relationship is destined to crash, neither one of them is mature enough to be "going steady". Also, if they are supposed to be a couple, why the lack of physicality in their relationship?
What brother calls his sister "Peaches", and buys her nightgowns?? Creepy.
When did he buy her a nightgown?
@@trainer1158 One of the episodes. Forgot which one.
Have you noticed that neither Willie or Buddy ever finished a meal.....two bites, a quick swallow of juice and they are off on a mad rush ...... what a waste of food in a decade when thousands were dying of starvation in other countries.......and such a bad example to set......no wonder power breakfast bars were invented soon after.
Isnt the guy with the glasses the shrink on mash?
It sure is
And, something I didn't know until just a few years ago, Allan Arbus was the ex-husband of renowned, legendary photographer Diane Arbus (in fact, he gave her her first camera). He was a photographer as well and didn't start acting until he was nearly 50. I just thought I'd share because I think it's kinda fascinating.

"The climate is changing all over the world..." Who Knew Willie Lawrence?
I noticed Willie's comment about the changing weather too, made about 44 years ago. There was also a similar comment made in a 1950s movie called "Indiscreet" with Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman. Cary Grant said, "They say our weather's changing", or something to that effect.
@@vivianpowell1732 ...
Thanks👍
I am so glad I found your channel. Would it be possible for you to put these in a list according to the season? I think “family” had 4 seasons that it aired. I would love to watch them all in order.
not old yet be grateful for what is there
You can get the list of episodes here: www.imdb.com/title/tt0073992/episodes?season=1. I printed a copy and search for each episode in order on the uploader's CZcams home page.
There were 5 seasons
If you reside in Canada they are all streaming .
Do you know where they are streaming? I checked Tubi but couldn't find them. @@Berriesncream68
Sada Thompson and James Broderick
Samantha Eggar in a not-too-sympathetic role. She was great a few years earlier in a harrowing thriller, The Collector, which I viewed once and could never look at again. I've been reviewing these episodes and looking at those on the Decades channel in recent weeks. Two observations from this episode: I think Kate wears four or so dresses in an episode which spans what, two days? She certainly had a lot of wardrobe changes per episode! I bet her dress wardrobe alone was larger than the total wardrobes of the other cast members put together! They all look good on her in a prim and proper kind of way. And did Willie ever finish breakfast? It seems he sits down, takes one bite of eggs and a sip of orange juice, and then says he is late for ...whatever, and leaves the plate virtually untouched! Kate appears to have made good meals (judging by the lengthy preparation we are sometimes privy to) but Willie's breakfasts, at least, seem to have gone to waste.
Brookdale27 I am always thinking, no one eats their meals in this family!! 😂😂
I was noticing Willie’s eating habits the past few days of binging this show. It seems all he does is eat, but is thin as a rail. Someone said in the comments in one of the other episodes is that her cat weighs more than Willie. Lol
I've seen the collector. Samantha Eggar was gorgeous in it.
What time did people start work and school back then? We’re they getting up at 5 to eat breakfast ?
Why are older women so attracted to Willie? Shelley Long, now this, and I think there was maybe another one that he gave a ride to from the airport? He's TWENTY! 2 years ago, he was in high school. He's a college kid without a college, so he still lives at home. Yuck -
Willie is such a strange character. No friends/girlfriends his own age. The father saying "I'm not sorry I told him to get a job". In my family, we either went to college or got a job. No time off to find oneself. I went to college and paid for it myself. Can't identify with this family.
KZ Armstrong totally agree!! At 18, you have 2 options: school or work (or both, like you and I - and zillions of others did/do). And the free guest house in the back they all take for granted that both Nancy and Willie used without having to pay rent...love the show, but talk about fantasy! 😂
I always wondered too.
Shelley your right! Have you seen the episode where Kim Cattrail ( sex in the city) is a married woman with kids. Tries to talk Willie into a affair with her. He considers it. But can't follow through.
evidently, cougars existed even back in the 70s!! ;-)
Dr. Sidney Freedman ❤️
I was trying to remember his name from MASH! Loved him.
@@merrybluegirl8930 Yeah! For a guy who was only in a handful of episodes across 11 seasons, he sure made an impact. Wonderful.
Kate mentioned to buddy the piece she was playing at 10:39 was by Chopin , but does anyone know exactly what piece it was?
Yes, it is a Nocturne. I will check which one tomorrow. She was playing it too fast by the way.
It is a Nocturne, Opus 55, No 1.
Sexual harassment goes both ways.
People like Willie end up being the manager with the clip board.
