"The Fitzpatricks" 1977 TV show intro (Helen Hunt, James Vincent McNichol, Clark Brandon)

Do you remember this short-lived, prime-time CBS TV show from 1977? "The Fitzpatricks" featured a 14-year-old Helen Hunt, with James Vincent McNichol (Kristy's bro), Clark Brandon, Michele Tobin, Sean Marshall, Derek Wells, Mariclare Costello, and Bert Kramer.

I was reminiscing and uncovered my old video tape of the "Halloween" episode (I had a small part in it) and thought I'd share the opening with fellow YouTubers to see if anyone remembers the show. (Wow, hard to believe it was 32 years ago!) I do have the full episode on DVD and can send a copy to you, but only if you're a serious fan of the show! Drop me a message.

You're thinking of Mulligan's Stew, an NBC series which aired in that same season.

Clark Brandon later played a recurring role on "The Facts of Life" as Jo's boyfriend.

Wasn't this about a family with a bunch of adopted kids? Mariclare Costello scared the crap out of me in "Let's Scare Jessica to Death"!

Sean Marshall and Michelle Tobin look like brother and sister, but Clark Brandon and Jimmy Mc Nichol didn't look like they could be related, to each other, or the others.

Show was cancelled after mom gave birth on tv. Something not heard of in the 70's. Good show though. Helen Hunt only one still in business. I think.
