I think the show didn't know what it wanted to be: A singing show or a dramedy. After all, Seven Brides For Brothers only had 22 episodes. I really believe the main probelm was that it tried to be both and it didn't work on either of those things. It's one of those big television series mistakes. Kind of like Joanie Loves Chachi.
I think the series was trying too hard to cash on the original movie(Seven Brides For Seven Brothers) singing fame way too much. It really hurt the show itself, which was more of a drama than a musical. Another thing is because in 1982, every series had celebrities suddenly singing that it suddenly became a fad again. Shows like Joanie Loves Chachi, Star of The Family, etc. were all cashing in on the craze.
no, it is NOT true that they used real cigarettes. the director of the movie was very against smoking and they made fake ones out of something like cabbagestuff? idr what what stuff was but they were not real
River is so cute!!!!!!I want give him one big kiss to my sweet River! Beautiful angel so young and so talented and so nice boy! I love River of all my heart!
yup thats what i heard. i heard he started smoking cigs and weed. i wish he coulda got out like corey did. do u know if they had real cigarettes for stand by me?
i heard he was a chain smoker but i didnt know it was b/c stand by me. gosh i love that movie so much but i wonder if thats what started river's addiction and eventually his death.
He started serious drugs whilst filming My own private Idaho, he spent the time when filming on the streets living like a hustler, he even picked up a guy (he didnt go home with him though), he wanted to get into character. He started heavy drugs then cause one of his friends said that they asked him if he'd taken it before and river said yes but the friend said he didnt believe him.
I think he smoked before that though, they didnt smoke in Stand by Me though, they had cabbage ciggarettes. :)

No they didn't
they used cabbage leaves wrapped in paper.
No real cigs.

no, rob reiner is a big anti-smoking guy, so he made them use cabbage leaves.
