Family - "Disco Queen" 1.1

Spelling-Goldberg's "Family" starring Kristy McNichol & Sada Thompson. Season 4, Episode #64 "Disco Queen." I love this show, but in my opinion, this is where "Family" jumps the shark. Some may argue that the show jumped the shark when Annie was introduced, and for those people I have edited most of her storyline out of this episode, but when the disco craze of the 70's enters the picture... it's down hill from there. Which is exactly why I am posting this video - it couldn't be more late 70's if it tried.

Sada Thompson is a total class act !

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!

@kpenguins48 Actually Kristy McNichol just came out a few weeks ago.

@kpenguins48 - So you're saying that anyone who even mentions anyone's sexual orientation is homophobic??

[tideoftime]

@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...

@thx291 If you are not homiphobic, why do you care?

@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.
