Almost Home: Is That All There Is? Part 1

[kristaselene]

That poem always stuck with me!

[zimwivez]

He's not a dumb jock, he goes on to save the world by blowing up a giant asteroid in space with Bruce Willis!

[rabadancthulu]

por favor subanla en español me encanta y me hace recordar mi infancia gracias soy de mexico....

[MarieFace]

my goodness he's tall next to her.

[jetsfan4life]

I don't think they ever explained the disappearance of Ruth Ann and Steven Floyd

[raineluvs]

awe, brittany murphy

[JMUHockeyGirl]

He is a hulking beast if there ever were one. Look at him compared to her. He's GARGANTUAN!

[trixtersenred]

@JMUHockeyGirl Nah, he's not that big, Olivia Burnette is only 5'2, she's a pretty little thing, but she's definitely little.

[JackieBorelli]

"you're saying I have to wash the dishes before I put them in the dishwasher?" "yea." "what sadist thought this up?" haha!! I'd forgotten this show was funny.

[rosek102]

@JackieBorelli LOL, I agree, it is very funny! I love the interactions between the Torkelson and Morgan families, because they were so different. Molly and Gregory always cracked me up. They should definitely start putting the re-runs of this show back on TV...it's funny and entertaining enough where I think people would really love it. I don't think I know anyone who has heard of it, though :)

[JackieBorelli]

"for the past 2 hours, I've been forced to sit here & watch you shoot baskets, scratch yourself, & draw mustaches on the pictures of all the poets!"

"just the men, the women already had them." LOL!!

[h193013]

are Gregory and Molly twins

[riceisgood19]

@h193013 i believe Gregory is older than Molly...maybe by a year or so..

[boomingpearl]

[needles1987]

Ben Affleck was in this show?

[mfunn1]

[aznbabessz]

Ben Affleck? Good Lord... lol

[ritocetaceo123]

brithany RIP

[robbie4nin]

wow that is ben affleck! i remember him doing a after school special where he was ragin from steroids... didnt think he did much tv... thats funny... i remember Brittany Murphy doing this show, she was a great actress and beautiful... its a shame she died.. Wonder what happened to the girl that plays dorthy jane..

[mikejessmax]

She's been in a whole bunch of movies & lives in California w/her husband & stepson.

[Jeff98177]

I bet Boarder Hodges took the other 2 kids and ran away.

[royquist]

It is really nice that the shows can be seen on YouTube. This brings sweet memories back, and it gave you the uppertunity to relive the good old days. As à child I was very much in love with Dorothy Jane. In à way you might say that the dream began when I met her, even it is by tv, and she don't know who I am. But still; almost home gave me wings and I use them every day. For now and always, I miss Brittany Murphy:...( I hope she will rest in peace!

[rachelflax1963]

*R.I.P Brittany Murphy*

You were a bright, shining star!

[RitaFz]

This is the roll I remember her best.

Rest in Peace Brittany

[lo12ie]

he looks like ben affleck

[bigdrocks2]

@lo12ie thats because it is ben affleck

[heroheroic]

This was a really great show

[astreetmimeortwo]

and the original torkelsons theme song just felt so much better!

[astreetmimeortwo]

i think they set this second show in seattle thinking it would be more relatable or hip with the times or something, but it was the small town nostalgic goodness that gave the torkelsons in oklahoma their endless charm. i wish they had stuck with that idea. and i do miss steven floyd!!

[godsfiddler]

I don't like Connie Ray's hair flat.

[rania3830]

is that ben affleck?

[y0imjoey]

yes

[KarisaH89]

anyone else ever wonder what happened to the other children?

[arhythmchild]

Oldest looking high schooler ever...

[godsfiddler]

He's probably like 23 here...

[VASINGER]

@arhythmchild yer kidding right? Ive seen high school kids that look older. Not all high school kids are young and baby faced looking.

[SugarCraveMedia]

OH YEAH! I remember this show! it's wierd u havent seen something and years and then it all comes back..

[maxamillionent]

[xXpinkpiscesXx]

Give me a kiss, and to that kiss a score; Then to that twenty, add a hundred more: A thousand to that hundred: so kiss on, To make that thousand up a million. Treble that million, and when that is done, Let's kiss afresh, as when we first begun.

[hollyrivers52]

i love this show, but I definitely think there is something lacking from "The Torlkesons"...it seems like once they changed the setting, that something special about the show faded

[KatieM101388]

what ever happened to the other two kids?

[rosek102]

They were eliminated once they started "Almost Home." It was perfectly fine with me--I never liked the other two kids.

[ecdact]

lol when i first watched the 2nd season, i thought they died. they don't even say.

ruth ann was a bitch though. she was very annoying.

[MeestiMoore]

yeah, I liked steven floyd though.. I always thought he was kinda cute.

[09brotha]

molly is obnoxious

[xXpinkpiscesXx]

can someone tell me the title of that kissing poem? thanks!

[Chiiminako]

Robert Herrick

[Chiiminako]

er oops, I mean, that's the author, I can't seem to find the title of the poem

[xXpinkpiscesXx]

thanks Chiiminako!

[ecdact]

the first poem she reads (@ 2:42) is one of my favorite poems! It's by Emily Dickinson & it's called "I'm Nobody! Who are you?"

the kiss poem is by "Robert Herrick" can't really find the title but you can find the poem by just looking up the word kiss & robert's name.

[xXpinkpiscesXx]

thanks so much! I knew that it was 'I'm Nobody! Who are you?'by Emily Dickinson, it was the kiss poem I didn't know. Thanks!

[vidmastr26]

Thanks for posting this! I haven't seen it in years!

[dwadegirl26]

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!! I loooooove the Dorothy Jane character. She was so cute smart and sweet (like me!). Are there any episodes after this one? I know Almost Home didn't last too long....

[vidmastr26]

so do I..her hair is BEAUTIFUL!

[rosienmundo]

this is my favorite out of the almost home episodes!!!! thank you!!!

[whenuthinktimcgra]

OMG! That's Ben Affleck.

[DragonflyandTheWolf]
