They need to bring good shows back to television. Don't get me wrong, there are some really good shows on TV, ie True Blood. However, the best shows seem to only be on the movie channels, so not everyone gets them. I think TV stations need to do what Nickelodeon recently started doing and bring shows like The Torkelsons.
that was rude of her brother to say she was desperate. what kind of brother hurts his sister like that? besides theres nothing wrong with kurby. its good to have a guy who'd do anything 4 you
This show makes me so sad.... This is a reality that must be shown in Hollywood more often, we have too much 'picture-perfect' films and shows depicting everyone in the United States as cultured and rich while blocking the reality that is true for many people. We need more shows like these.
@crazyonemexican sooo absolutely true! gosh i miss these shows. simple, sweet, real, to the point, humorous but heartfelt i dont like the world now. they act like everything new is improved it's not , it's completely unnecessary! i was born in 89 i'm 21 now so i'm not old and things have changed from this (when i was younger) to the crap on disney now. i miss it. i wish things stayed the same either the 70s, 80s or early 90s. i miss the 90s. it seems so long ago cause things have changed so fast
It really is sad that this show only lasted one season (besides the Almost Home spin off.) It's a great show about true life struggles and important values.
Man, Dorothy Jane was so HOT. I've still got a little crush on her, which is sad and kind of scary because she's perpetually 14 and I've long since passed that age. Oh shit...
I miss this show.. Its AMAZING... When I was younger I use to watch it On the Disney Channel.. Its was much better then the Disney crap they give now...
Thanks so much for putting this up! I'd been looking for yeeeears, couldn't remember the title for my life! This was my absolute FAVORITE SHOW EVER WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL!! I used to wish I was Dorothy Jane =] They don't make TV like this anymore! Miley Cyrus has nothing on Dorothy Jane Torkelson! hahahaha
lol this a no hater intended show. i came to understand that there are others in the world other than myself. this show is one of the many shows i miss that always represented a moral :_)
I love this show too!! I also have been looking for it on youtube for some time and finally came across it today! The one from when they move is called almost home!
I miss this show too. I've been looking for it on youtube for quite some time when I finally remember the name of it. Anyone of the ones from when they move?
That kid at 1:41 is the ugliest fucking thing I've ever seen. It was so ugly it should have been beaten. And a kid who talks to the moon? I would have had her committed. Bunch of losers.
i used to love this show wen it was on disney. i still remember the last episode i saw b4 it was taken off. lolol nd its so cool that the lil charlie kid is mouf on oth lol
OMG OMG OMG I think I'm going to cry... for the longest time I have been looking for "The Torkelsons" on YouTube and all I found was the theme song...to whoever posted the series up I thank you...not only that but I can see the "Family Channel" logo at the bottom the screen...God, that was my favourite channel growing up- now it's crap. And to top it all off I was thinking about THIS episode YESTERDAY for NO REASON! So I thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me relive my childhood.
They don't make sitcoms like this anymore, very funny and suitable for the whole family. I used to watch this on the Disney Channel back in the 90s. And once again we need this released on DVD.
OMG! I really miss this show! I loved watching this when I was a child! I usually pretended that I was in the show! I wish Disney brought this back with "Baby-Sitters Club" & "Flash Forward"! I miss those shows too! Thanx 4 posting this!
AHHHH i've been looking for this show for years! I used to love it, but couldn't remember the name of it...i described it to my family and friends and they all looked at me like i was crazy! thank you for posting this :)
OH. MY. GOD!!!!!! mandygirl777 I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am that you put this up!!!! The expression on my face looks like I won the jackpot in Vegas!!! LOLOL!!!
Oh I love this show, in fact, this was my favourite show that I would watch on Disney Channel (back in the good ol' days). I always thought I was a great deal like Dorothy Jane and I behaved alot like her when I was her age, and to a certain extent (sometimes) still do. This just brings back wonderful memories, wish Disney would bring this back.
