Thanks for posting this, when the networks showed pictures like these, this kept families in good harmony, now they have so much violence on TV which is causing the kids too think negative, at least someone hasn't forgotten about the old days. Thanks for posting these shows, I will send them to others and post them on their email website.
@thx291 Well, Meredith Baxter *did* come out (albeit late in life) as a lesbian; Kristy McNichol, on the other hand, simply has the "tomboy" energy about her, and some people have taken that to mean she is gay. However, she has denied this on several occasions, unlike Meredith, so until she says otherwise we'll all just take her at her word. Just FYI...
Man did that little girl irritate me. She was great in "The Goodbye Girl" though. But Kristy was the break-out star of this show, and she never let go.
In the 6:02 frame, is that dance instructor doing the underground dance move that would be known as "vogueing" in the early 1990's? i kind of wondered by looking at it...
I agree....I could never stand that Annie....thought that she knew every damn thing and acte to grown for her age...acted like a putz is more like it...she just was wierd..
Thank you so much for posting this. Yes, I agree --this show had great acting and intelligent writing, something becoming increasingly rare in tv today. The disco stuff was hillarious!! Made me realize how ridiculous I was! In 1984 (or 5?) I had a summer job baking/cooking in Stratford, Canada and Sada Thompson was in a play, T. Williams' 'Glass Menagerie'. She came into the store and bought a dozen cheese scones...I always felt so honored baking for her.Always loved her and Family. Tnanks!
Can you imagine a show on TV like this today? Admittedly it is kind of dull but the people are intelligent. We have really gone down hill folks. I blame it all on Nixon and Reagan.
Is ironic that 32 years ago I watched this show always wanting to have a family like the one on TV. Now this video brings me back 30 years in time and the memories associated to it that come along makes me realize that I did have a family like that because it was mine and unique just like the one on TV. Thanks for posting this, it is so good to be able to take a glimpse to the past.
Mytie67: I thank you for taking the time to post this episode. It is one I had not seen since it first aired. Family has always been my favorite show and hope that SONY will release the rest of the seasons someday. Thanks
I personally thought Annie was a hoot. I loved the show, and hated when it was canceled, cos Kristy was really starting to buddy. Kristy McNichol should have been the biggest movie star ever. Ellen Page reminds me of Kristy, and that's pretty far out!
@chuckdee121 Adored this show, probably the favorite of my childhood. But I couldn't stand Annie. I felt like she was the fly in the ointment that they introduced to the show.
Great clip. The woman in the Joe Allen shirt is Priscilla Lopez, one of the original cast members of A Chorus Line, and a great actress in her own right. It's great to see her in this clip. Thanks for posting it.
I recall when I was in junior high school, we were doing a rip-off (which it was) of "A Chorus Line" and Ms. Lopez was nice enough to appear just to cheer us on one afternoon. I recall she sang "Nothing" and used the same censored version we had to use: "...that this b.s. was absurd." I wish the people performing in our version had HAD actual talent, but they didn't, and now I wonder how she must have felt, seeing our idiotic and pathetic casting/blocking/singing/acting of it.
