Me too! I didn’t watch the show when I was a kid in the 1970s but now I love this show, and it’s so calming. I so wish we could go back, even if just for a day.
If phones had speed dial back then the liquor store would be on their list 😂 i have been binge watching this too. I always knew about this show but never really had the desire to watch it...now that I am I can’t stop. Thank you Xanthas71 for the uploads
Ironic Family brought in the Annie character to fill in the “kid” part as Buddy grew up. At age 11, she was at times the most mature character in the show.
It was a jump of the shark . Quinn Cummings had stolen the show in the Goodbye girl - she was very good at delivering the precocious kid line - she was good at it .
I watched this program as a young teenager growing up. All the family Dynamics in full play. Very relevant and entertaining. I wish I can step back in time.
I disagree. I would tell the aggrieved spouse, who deserves to know and to not be made an asshole of. If that loses my friendship with them, they were never real friends in the first place. And even though they would redirect their marital conflict to a conflict with me, they would know damned well I did them a solid. 'Cos, BITCHES, I'm tellin'! So you're welcome.
What a horrible woman (the mistress). The husband isn't much better. "I'm a 52 year old man who has a brilliant, beautiful, girl in love with him...." How about a conniving, manipulative WOMAN (she's no girl) who's so immature and emotionally arrested, she can't attract unmarried, self-assured men (not needy, self- pitying losers). These kind of people come in both genders, of all ages. If she really cared about her "love", she wouldn't think of him as a possession by thinking she can control him. "No matter what" is a control statement. That's psycho. Thank you for the episode. I'm not a fan of this series but I occasionally watch it out of curiosity to figure out what made it so popular. I was seven when it aired
And his mistress Marilyn is not even as pretty as his wife Eve either. Just younger, though Eve's skin looks great so it's not some noticeable thing. So why's he trying to treat her like she's second fiddle.
Yes sure do but I wonder if the cooking smells and occasional heat and smoke drift upstairs. I would not like that. The I Love Lucy”country house had winding back stairs to the kitchen too and I loved that. .
Mrs. Sada Thompson was only 50 when she was filming this season of the show, and she dressed like my great aunt who was 70 plus years old. Quite a difference from nowadays, when you see all these "oh I am so divorced, middle 40s, with two children and men are scum, but I will dress like a slut, show my ex what he missed and show other men I am still in fine fuckable condition and available because I lost so much time with my greasy ex husband" easy middle aged women. Dignity has certainly gone through the gutter.
This is probably one of the hardest situations to be in. However, Eve deserved to know the truth. The consequences may be harsh, but her husband was totally doing her wrong. It's notable how Kate never told Eve she found out from talking with Doug. Being a friend in this situation would be extremely hard, but she deserved the truth when she first asked it at the dinner given by the Lawrences.
It’s 2023 and I’m watching while quarantining with Covid. I’m cracking up at how Willie has the flu but is coughing all over Annie. Talk about spreading GERMS!
I know, her asking Doug outright if her husband is having an affair and then gatecrashing Kate and Doug's dinner out. The husband asking Doug to lie for him. *Rude.* "You can handle my divorce Doug." Bad form!
They were pigs -- the man, chasing his youth, his ego, and his **** the woman -- ultimately a home-wrecking slut, stealing another woman's man because she can't find love the right way. What these women don't understand is the men they're trying to take got married and created families for a reason, that they're not going beyond side-piece status. And it's true, this isn't pure fiction. Too many people have been intimately acquainted with one of these types or the other. It's vile to bear witness to, especially when you're circumstantially trapped in the way Doug was.
No Botox not people didn't work out as much unless they were hardcore 40 40 was old then like it wasn't young the the young like 60s the new young or you know 50 still young today but not then
well , they were only about 48- 50 when the show started. Nancy seems 28-30 ....willie seems 24.... so it sorta makes sense . Kate is DOWDY and her hair is VERY very "older woman".
@@edwardmunster7269 Its in season 1. They only talk about it. It happens when they are first married. Then in the the episode "Sencond Act" the other reappears and tires to get Doug back!
Pitch for the series: 'Middle class suburban family, 3 children, just showing their day-to-day lives & relationships & problems" No canned laughter., no gag falls, no violence, but a mom who always has the right answer at the right time. ......just a family that loves each other. "It'll never work!" 17 !Emmy nominations, Golden Globe & Directors Guild nominations later &: people are still watching it. 💙
thats so funny.how art imitates life.i was married faithfully on my part to a guy for 30 years. he came home one day .told me we were only married on paper.................... he wanted his name back and he told me not to cook for him anymore.clean for him anymore and not care about him anymore.well he had been so nasty to me and our 2 daughters it was simple.i got an uncontested divorce from him. which he didnt show up in court for.took half of some of the stock we had in joint and now im getting wifes portion of his ss because i was married to him over 10 years. he cheated on me at least once... and we were married in church too. hes 65 now. he broke the covenant we had made between God and us. hope he gets right with God before he dies. i never did anything i shouldnt. all those years.his loss.not ours.
I never would have pictured it, MB seems like a perfect "stereotype" or caricature of a Jewish New Yorker or something while "Doug" seems like he could have been in old cowboy movies.
@@susantulleynehus5054 too true!! But people are lied to- She doesn’t love me, I’m so unhappy, if only I had met you blah blah blah. HE made the vows, HE made the commitment. A person that has never been married might not quite understand what that actually means and may not give enough thought to what that person is failing at and what that says about their strength of character.
Actress Whitney Blake as Eve was Meredith Baxter's mother, & a fine actress in her own right. In addition to playing the second lead on 60's sitcom Hazel, she and third husband producer Alan Manings, developed the sitcom One Day at a Time. Manings also produced Good Times.
Thanks for the information. I read Meredith's memoir years ago in which she wrote about her Mother's history, but I had no idea that that was her in this episode!
@@janej8995 I had no idea that "Eve" was Whitney Blake!! She looks totally different than when she was on Hazel. She looks a little overweight. Her hair is longer and kinda stringy. 😔
I had no idea. I always remember her from her "Hazel" days and I guess I expected her to still look like that for some reason. She looks so different. But that does sound like her voice. I read Meredith's biography but don't recall her mentioning her doing a cameo on her show.
Gene was wrong to expect Doug to cover for him, lie for him and then throw up Doug's long ago affair to get him to comply. He wasn't much of a friend at all. Doug should've flat refused to be put in the middle. I don't blame Kate for being angry though she was wrong to also throw up Doug's years ago affair. It must've seemed to her like the old boy's club sticking together. Glad it ended well for Doug and Kate. I love them.
Think back on the scene with the "lie". Three people sitting in the living room after dinner, Doug, his wife Kate, and Doug's partner's wife who suspects her husband is having an affair. The partner's wife pointblank asks Doug if that is the case. What's he supposed to do, say yes? He's a lawyer and knows how people can turn against the person who bears bad news, especially in situations involving extramarital affairs. He also knows that the philandering husband could convince his wife that Doug was lying, because that's what she wants to believe. Then what? Doug did the only thing he could at that particular moment. Later on he could have told Kate the truth of the matter in private and explained what an awkward position he'd been put in by his partner's wife's question. Knowing Kate, she would have understood and seen all of the possible ramifications if Doug had told the wife the truth, ramifications that could have caused a lot of trouble for her whole family.
@@vivianpowell1732 Kate was too hard on Doug, he literally just walked in on them and was caught off guard, but he should have told Kate I didn't get the wine because something happened with Gene though I can't tell you now since they're coming over to dinner. Maybe after they leave I can talk to you about it, even though it was really none of her business. Or he could have told her yes something is on my mind, I found out something I wasn't supposed to, but I don't want to gossip. Then when Eve put Doug on the spot he could have said "Gene's never said anything to me before today" to not technically lie until he had time to talk to Kate and figure out what they wanted to do.
"You knew Dave was fooling around, didn't you . . . ? You were my friend, too, Donny . . . ." ". . . I knew . . . ." "But the first loyalty is always to the guys, right?" ". . . I guess; I don't know . . . ." "That's the trouble with Dave: I could never get him to love me as much as he loved you and Vic." From 1995's _Bye Bye Love._ Eve's worst pain is having to learn that Gene -- her husband of 30 years, like Susan in the above movie, and Kate on the show, had never loved her as much as he loved Doug. That's why Kate told Doug: "I just don't like you right now, or anybody else."
This couple Eve and Gene keep coming over and interfering with Doug and Kate. But it was the other way around before and Gene and Eve were there for Doug and Kate at that time..."I'll find another partner." Ominous.
That's kinda fake that Annie would be sitting on top of Willie who has a bad cold/flu. In real life one would stay FAR away from someone who is sick , not sit on the bed RIGHT next to them.
@@bobs1356 Theirs was not a perfect marriage. Doug cheated on Kate. In a later episode the Doug covered up for his friend who was cheating on his wife. Kate blew up at Doug about the cheating and lying for his friend and lying to his friend's wife. In a few episodes we catch Doug lying to Kate. In real life the man who played Doug was a pisces. Lying comes naturally to Pisces.
@@bobs1356 Shows might or might not teach how to love. I hear shows and games encourage violence so, possibly love. But ultimately what you choose is what YOU choose.
@@priscillasalzberg5349 I think the very first episode there was a time hee did and Jat was pregnant with Buddy and she heard her parents arguing about it and Buddy her Kate say about having a abortion. And Buddy ran away I think I am sure that was a long time ago.
38:53 Aaron Spelling produced this show as well. Might be why they used two cars from _Charlie's Angels_ in _Family._ That's Kelly Garrett's beige Mustang! And, they used Boz's emerald Thunderbird in the Linda Lavin episode.
I think it would have been nice to add a pool in the back. If there had been one during the shows run, a lot of scenes would have taken place there like the Ewing pool on Dallas.
@@Xanthas71 I wonder why? I saw it here once. I sure hope to see the episode: From Russia With Love sometime, I haven't seen it since the early 90's. Perhaps KGB blocked it. 🤔👍🏽💯🇷🇺
I know and I don't know why she felt she had to constantly wear 3/4 inch sleeves, maybe she thought it gave her more height, but actually just makes her look shorter or less proportionate in the arms.
@@greenonions5296 She had plump arms and tried to disguise them. My Mom still does this although she's 5'-6" and weighs only 110lbs. with much longer arms than Sada Thompson's were. 👍🏽💯🤔
The house is beautiful on the outside, but kitchen is too small and hidden, and all the other rooms look too dark. Too much brown furniture. Maybe some led lights would brighten it up. Just saying.😊
I would like to find the very first episode. I don't know the story behind the youngest girl, I thought she was also their daughter until she called the mother by her name Kate in a different episode I watched.
Her mom was a college friend of Kate's. When the parent's died, Annie went with her aunt who ultimately didn't want to raise a child. So, then she went to Kate and Doug. It is on here, I watched it last week
These were True actors. I’m So happy I can bring it up on You Tube.
Can't stop binge-watching these! Great to have all of the seasons.

Me too! I didn’t watch the show when I was a kid in the 1970s but now I love this show, and it’s so calming. I so wish we could go back, even if just for a day.

Me too 🙏🏻
I wish I could find somewhere to watch all the seasons from the very beginning in order!

This is one of the most memorable episode. I like this series because all the episodes are real happenings in our lives.
This is the best show. It’s called sitting down with family and enjoying what family use to be like. ❤

How is that an example of irony?
It's actually the very definition of irony.
Buddy should of ditched that nickname. Especially when she turned 16! Like seriously🙄
It was a jump of the shark . Quinn Cummings had stolen the show in the Goodbye girl - she was very good at delivering the precocious kid line - she was good at it .
In these times, we search for better times,when TV was wholesome.
The people seem honest and open and healthy. Even though its fiction its wonderful to watch & imagine growing up in a family like that
"The law is a hard mistress." Good one, Doug!
I loved 🥰 that response.
I miss thoughtful, intelligent drama.
Me too! The 1970's was the golden era of tv drama. The writing and acting were second to none.
People speaking in complete sentences.
Being able to express themselves articulately without foul language.
This sure beats married with children. I like comedy, but that show is ridiculous. To Family🥂🥂
I watched this program as a young teenager growing up. All the family Dynamics in full play. Very relevant and entertaining. I wish I can step back in time.
Doug's head is shaped like a perfect triangle.
I love sada Thompson she had such class.
Never, but NEVER become entangled in the marital discord of friends. ...They'll turn it around on you every time.

Always enjoyed seeing the backstairs off the kitchen. They saved some of the wear and tear the front stairs usually get in homes without them.
Builders don't make houses like that as it used to be, those back stairs to the kitchen seems to be an extra upgrade now.
The home I grew up in had kitchen stairs.

I don’t see much straightforward physical resemblance between Matthew Broderick and his dad, but I do see similar mannerisms and expressions.

Or he could have told her yes something is on my mind, I found out something I wasn't supposed to, but I don't want to gossip. Then when Eve put Doug on the spot he could have said "Gene's never said anything to me before today" to not technically lie until he had time to talk to Kate and figure out what they wanted to do.
Doug ought to fire Marilyn. Marilyn talks too much.
I am a 52 year Old man who has a brilliant young girl in love with! Ha ha ha ha! What a bloody twerp!
Adultery isn't a "grudge"
Kate always telling women to" hang in there" after they find out the their husband has been cheating. Hell No!! Once a cheater...
"You knew Dave was fooling around, didn't you . . . ? You were my friend, too, Donny . . . ." ". . . I knew . . . ." "But the first loyalty is always to the guys, right?" ". . . I guess; I don't know . . . ." "That's the trouble with Dave: I could never get him to love me as much as he loved you and Vic." From 1995's _Bye Bye Love._ Eve's worst pain is having to learn that Gene -- her husband of 30 years, like Susan in the above movie, and Kate on the show, had never loved her as much as he loved Doug. That's why Kate told Doug: "I just don't like you right now, or anybody else."
I absolutely love to show thank you so much for 0
I really like Bye Bye Love. Good movie.
Trivia: Eve was played by Whitney Blake, mother of Meredith Baxter, who played the eldest daughter on this show.
Thank you, love this show!
This couple Eve and Gene keep coming over and interfering with Doug and Kate. But it was the other way around before and Gene and Eve were there for Doug and Kate at that time..."I'll find another partner." Ominous.
What a terrible spot for Doug to be in by both sides. But he should’ve told Kate what was going on.
When I was a kid, I disliked the grown up drama but, now I skip the kid scenes to get to the grownup story line.
That's kinda fake that Annie would be sitting on top of Willie who has a bad cold/flu. In real life one would stay FAR away from someone who is sick , not sit on the bed RIGHT next to them.
Totally
At the end Annie is sick also...and so is Buddy. 😷
Who was Annie? Was she a relative? I can’t recall …
@@DoctorJoanieTool Adopted. Her parents were friends of the Lawrences and were killed in a car accident.
She thought she never gets sick.
These are real life situations. So many of the episodes led me to believe they had the perfect marriage.
It's not impossible to have a perfect marriage if they would show more shows like this that can teach how to love.
@@bobs1356 Theirs was not a perfect marriage. Doug cheated on Kate. In a later episode the Doug covered up for his friend who was cheating on his wife. Kate blew up at Doug about the cheating and lying for his friend and lying to his friend's wife. In a few episodes we catch Doug lying to Kate. In real life the man who played Doug was a pisces. Lying comes naturally to Pisces.
@@bobs1356 Shows might or might not teach how to love. I hear shows and games encourage violence so, possibly love. But ultimately what you choose is what YOU choose.
@@priscillasalzberg5349 No but when a show touches a person heart usually these people are loving people with warm hearts.
@@priscillasalzberg5349 I think the very first episode there was a time hee did and Jat was pregnant with Buddy and she heard her parents arguing about it and Buddy her Kate say about having a abortion. And Buddy ran away I think I am sure that was a long time ago.
Wow great show
I'm thrilled for thease Re Runs
Poor Willie!! Snot flying everywhere!!!

Aaron Spelling produced this show as well. Might be why they used two cars from _Charlie's Angels_ in _Family._ That's Kelly Garrett's beige Mustang! And, they used Boz's emerald Thunderbird in the Linda Lavin episode.
Lots of Pintos!!
I like the knock off version of Rear Window.
The House in the show is in Pasadena Ca....worth about 4.6 million
Does Buddy come with it?
In one of the episodes around 1978 they mentioned it is worth $90,000.
I think it would have been nice to add a pool in the back. If there had been one during the shows run, a lot of scenes would have taken place there like the Ewing pool on Dallas.
@@TomMarvan Which was probably only twice the fathers annual salary
Love. This. Show. Always.
Thank you for all of these, you're a doll! Now, if only I could find "Echoes Of Love". The copy that's up on YT was taken down by @#$% Sony.
Sony won't allow anyone to upload it. It gets immediately blocked.
Sony be greedy.
@@Xanthas71 I wonder why? I saw it here once.
I sure hope to see the episode: From Russia With Love sometime, I haven't seen it since the early 90's. Perhaps KGB blocked it.
🤔👍🏽💯🇷🇺
Omg thank you I like to see
More
Kate should be more understanding,He meant absolutely no harm and was in a horrible situation
Love this episode.
Dear Donny Osmond I would like your picture. This is something Buddy would ask. I remember her Donny Osmond poster in her bedroom.
She had several.....and record albums, magazines, and a t-shirt.
Uuhgg!
Annie thinks the neighbor did something to his wife, LOL!
Kate's clothes were awful, even for that era. She still looked older than she was, but the wardrobe didn't help.
She was so dowdy. Classy, but dowdy.
@@AccessoriesAddict5528 perfect word to describe her
I know and I don't know why she felt she had to constantly wear 3/4 inch sleeves, maybe she thought it gave her more height, but actually just makes her look shorter or less proportionate in the arms.
@@greenonions5296 She had plump arms and tried to disguise them. My Mom still does this although she's 5'-6" and weighs only 110lbs. with much longer arms than Sada Thompson's were.
👍🏽💯🤔
Kate was "stout." At least 40 pounds overweight.
I think that was a big part of her appeal to a lot of her fans. She was "real."
surprised how close sister gets to brother when so sick!
The house is beautiful on the outside, but kitchen is too small and hidden, and all the other rooms look too dark. Too much brown furniture. Maybe some led lights would brighten it up. Just saying.😊
You do realize this a tv studio, right?
Sada is so gorgeous! xoxo
"you crumb"boy Eve needed to be able to use "you $astard" in 1979
Annie is golden. Just love that little girl!
Kate always ends up apologizing to everyone. They don’t usually reciprocate.
I would like to find the very first episode. I don't know the story behind the youngest girl, I thought she was also their daughter until she called the mother by her name Kate in a different episode I watched.
Her mom was a college friend of Kate's. When the parent's died, Annie went with her aunt who ultimately didn't want to raise a child. So, then she went to Kate and Doug. It is on here, I watched it last week
@@TheNancypoo thsnks so much for explaining that to me, I'll try to find that episode.
@Jameson Orr thanks so much for sharing this!
@Konga 5000 lol yea sometimes she was a brat but it's definitely not the Brady bunch!
There was a son named Tim who died in an accident before the series started. Nancy’s son was named after him.
40:52 If someone asks me in a mocking tone or any other tone if I'm born again, the answer is YES.
