Thank you for the information! And, by the way, this is one of several contradictions that I found throughout the series.

TPTB made a big mistake. Nell says that her father is dead here, but in just a few more eps., she goes home to visit him while he is dying.

[Smartboy8877]

@bluenail03

I also remember catching that contradiction. The only thing that I do not know is that TPTB stands for.

[mnmcv1]

@Smartboy8877- it means "the powers that be"...maybe "the writers" would've been simpler...lol

and contradictions like that are common on sitcoms, especially since this is the pilot. Many sitcoms had DRASTIC changes from their initial episode. Whatever happened to the gay cook from the pilot of the Golden Girls? lol

[Smartboy8877]

@mnmcv1

In the first place, thank you for the information about what the innitials stand for! On top of that, you are correct that the "Golden Girls" was terrible in terms of inconsistencies! There is only one series that I can think of that had more inconsistencies than the "Golden Girls". That series is the "Flintstones"! Wow!

[candlelight482]

@Smartboy8877 i would'nt call the golden girls terrible but all shows have inconsistency's like this 1 in this clip

[Smartboy8877]

@candlelight482

I was not saying that the "Golden Girls" was a terrible show, I was simply making the point that they were terrible in terms keeping their stories straight. This includes situations about who was born when, who died when and who graduated from what school during what year.

[snoops71]

I always thought Katie was so pretty.

[ByonMitchell]

wow i thought that was gonna b the last time u see katie in this series

Parenting (in my opinion) is the most challenging job in the world. Yet, it's rewarding. This episode is an example of the major challenges a parent faces tryingto give the best, teach the best, guide the best and it still seems to fail as your child tries to find their own way.

katie = bad actress..

lol but nell crying at the ending ~~ wahh

[Smartboy8877]

@nessssbm

What makes you say that Katie was played by a bad actress?

[BboyzHilarious]

@Smartboy8877

I just dont think she's very convincing.

i like sam. : D

[Smartboy8877]

@BboyzHilarious

My favorite was always Julie! I grew up having a huge crush on her!

[harvsoul]

Nell mentioned that her dad died, but in a later episode, she goes to Alabama and makes peace with him before he dies. Blooper!

[SUPREMEQUEEN09]

Gosh! I wish I had a fat black wench who has all life's answers to help me out. Its like she made of magic. I just want Neil to smoother me with her big black tities.

[gtz1975]

Sooo what's up with TV show  moms? Why do they all DIE: Mrs.Andy Tailor, Mrs. Danny Tanner, Mrs. Rifleman, Mrs. Mike Brady, Mrs Jed Clampett, Mrs. Cheif Kaniski, and so on and so forth?

[misschristaljoy]

@gtz1975

Mrs. Maxwell Sheffield!!

[gtz1975]

This looks like this could of been the start of a spinoff with Katie-which is ironic because this was the first GIMME A BREAK episode!

[hurikayne1]

"Katie, since you've decided to shoplift, I'm throwing you out onto the streets of Los Angeles to suck dick for beer money.."

She was a piece of ass...and I'm referring to Nell.

[SNSW1]

The comment that you made, makes no sense, If you watch the show you would understand that Nell ran away from home, she didn't want Katie to go through what she want through that's why she talked to Katie, but Nell knew that in the end in order to get Katie to learn what really was seperating her from her father, Nell still had to step back and allow Katie to choose, it didn't take Katie long to realize Nell was telling the truth.

[Smartboy8877]

Whose comment are you saying makes no sense?

[SNSW1]

Smartboy 8877 I was talking to Hurikayne 1.

[jcp1977]

NELL:you don't wanna leave

KATIE:Nell I can't stay here HE HIT ME

NELL:stop

you deserved to get slapped bitch

[jcp1977]

HEY somebody needs to upload the episode where Samantha blackfaced Joey to get even with Nell for not letting her go to a camping trip.

[scumgod13]

I love shows from back then. Just lil things, like if that was filmed today peta would be all over them about the damn gold fish. The Bussing skit would ave never been in there.

[godsfiddler]

Not to mention all the anti discipline people.

[vivabrooklyn]

This clip made me cry. I loved this show.

[tanquantwal]

Me too.I can relate. My 2 children lost their dad when they were 12&13. Very hard times to go through.losing a parent and spouse

[whitewitchoz]

I remember watching this episode when it first aired in late 81 or early 82 . Watching it now I see it was great writing .... I was moved. Cool living room.

[forbesmh]

Gimme a Break..one of my guilty pleasures. Nell was awesome in this show.

[CadiAdam1]

Yes, Yes I love this show.

[lacylakevious]

Nell: First of all, you did not hire me; I volunteered. Now before you're wife died, I promised her I will stay around here to make sure you didn't do anything stupid. Well, today you win the medal of Dumbness
