Sada Thompson reminds me so much of Tyne Daly while she's doing this fast talking monolog.
Both are wonderful actresses!
Kate Lawrence, my favorite TV Mom of all time.
My Favorites are Shirley Partridge and Carol Brady ❤ oh and Samantha from Bewitched. I would love to have a combination of the three. Beautiful, sensitive, smart, funny and cool. With a touch of naughty/magic !
@@lorimiller4301 Shirley was a great Mom.
This was THE BEST show EVER! My "ALLTIME" favorite,no other could compare...the writing,acting,everything about it is #1!!!
My goodness give that girl an Emmy for that. I really thought she was giving birth. I don't see how you women do it. Bless all of you.
😂❤
Such a comfort show. ❤
Women like Kate Lawrence don’t exist in the 21st century. And if they do, writers don’t write them like this anymore, which is sad. This is like watching a beautiful play.
She was the Mother I always wanted
She may have been the bread and butter of the family but never the whipped cream. She lacked whimsy. She was always a little too serious in a Kristen Stewart kind of way
@ Spot on, not even allowed a little fun while having sandwiches for lunch. ...and Buddy was even working on the laundry when she came home. Gee whiz, she never quite seemed to be fun.
@@parkslopemo i agree. In nearly all of the episodes she is so heavy. I like this series, but it is true that couples function differently today.....and it isnt bad, just different.
She reminds me so much of my grandmother and she was the backbone of our entire family and loads of fun..it seemed as if she could do everything and she made it look easy but it couldn't have been
I love everything about the show. From dialing the telephone.. to picking up a racket and playing 🎾…doing the dishes by hand, or putting them in the dishwasher….. people communicating and talking and actually maybe having a squabble or two not texting my phone and being completely void of any human contact this is how life is supposed to be. We’re screwed.
and the pleasant music behind all the moments of the show!
I was the biggest fan of this show back "in the day". Don't recall this episode...thought I saw them all! Thanks for putting these here for us! There has never been another one this good since!
I never knew this was a series nor have I ever seen any of it back in the day but wow 2023 and I am so glad I have watched the entire series. This one completely escaped my life until now whoever posted this kudos to you.!!
Brilliant piece of art here, beautifully acted. I love Sada Thompson
Very true....great actress..
She did Shakespeare on Broadway
@@girlgeniusnyc272 Thank you, that does not surprise me
I love the device the writers use...talking to calm a girl in labor...to let Kate describe, and talk about her feelings for, her children. In all the years of the series, the viewer never heard her inner feelings about her children. That was neat.
Not true...in the very first episode Kate said a lot about being a mother and about being a woman. In the pilot she talked to Buddy about contemplating an abortion.
It was still nice
@@pinksparkle258 ppll
Wow do I wish I had Kate as a mom. I love my dad but my mom is not very loving. I wish I was a teenager in the 70s. I just can't take this crap of today. I grew up in the 80s. Born in 75. We watched this in the 80s. Reruns. Good though. I miss my husband. He was born in 62. He passed away in February unexpectedly. I can't even Express how much I miss him. The music and the TV shows from this era really reminds me of him.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your husband.
Same..I'm very sorry that you lost your best friend but only for a little while..you'll see him again and he'd want you to be happy in the meantime
@@lindaf4369 You really think I'll see him again? I think so, too! I miss him terribly. Thank you so much for your kind words 🙏,
@@deborahannwilson2670 thank you so much @Deborah K I really appreciate your taking the time to say that to me. It's very difficult without him.
So sorry for the loss of your husband. I hope you are doing well, especially in these trying times of Covid.
I think in the episode, Sada does the best acting in any other episode because she was out of her element, new place, and new situation.
Can you even imagine in the 70’s having your own bathroom? I loved this show in the 70’s when I was in my 20’s, now at 67 years old not so much. But I will still watch.
I remember my mom tried to go back to school. But her mom duties made it so hard that she gave up. I always feel bad when I think of it. We did chores and my dad cooked, but it was just too much for her with kids and a house.
What a tour de force by Sada Thompson!
It's hard to imagine turning on the TV and not finding something to watch 😅
Kate’s first day off in 40 years!!
No cell phones back then, or problem solved in a matter of seconds. Lol
Carpet in the bathroom... Now that was the 70's
Also in the kitchen. We thought that was real fancy when we saw that!
I kind of like Buddy's "hair dye goof." Nowadays it would be considered cool and edgy.
Lol
"nothing can happen to mom". What a powerful emotion. Moms hold such a massive position in the family till thoughts of moms leaving or dieing seem far and beyond. But it can happen at anytime.
Be the best mom u can and learn to love hard. If u dont have a relationship with ur mom. Pray for her. And pray for the guardien u do have.
*dying *at any time *guardian
"The natural look". Hair exploding from your skull.
In any episode does Kate have a light hearted moment and break into laughter?
😅
The pregnant woman is a piece of work.
John Wayne thought so too in the movie "True Grit".
I would have given her a smack
Thank you for sharing this! Cheers from Argentina.
Back then, they were still glamorizing apartment living. I've never thought it was nice to live in one of those shoebox buildings.
Sharing a wall with someone who inevitably has a large, loud dog.
@@danacampbell8331 and rude a holes with their loud music
@@XxowendanxX I had a lovely victory recently. Neighbor across street had been blasting everyone out with loud music for months. He was warned, but ignored it. I finally called the cops. They came out and he kissed butt while they were there. As soon as they left, he cranked it up to nuclear level and stood in his yard yelling about how he owned his house and he'd play music as loud as he pleased. I called the cops again and they doubled back to catch him in the middle of his tantrum. This time he got a rather expensive ticket for disturbing the peace. He's been pretty docile since.
@@danacampbell8331 good for you! I'd be too scared to call the cops. If the dude found out maybe he'd flatten my tires. I have horrible luck with neighbors there's always an annoying bastard next door and a dog and loud music is usually involved. When I move I always try to find some place out in the country with no neighbors
@@XxowendanxX I'd give anything (except the money--don't have enough of that) to live out in the country!
A cell phone would have solved this whole issue in 10 minutes! Amazing how technology has made life easier. Safer at times.
I am glad this episode is on UA-cam as always catch it in the middle and wonder how Kate wound up in tower with Kim Darby.
It's in Tubi. I'm on Season 5.
Thank you for this episode!
So many GREAT reminders of my youth! "NERTS" is my fave! I wonder if this show (which I watched religiously) is where I picked it up - I've said that as long as I can remember🤭! Thank you for sharing this Treasure😍!💝💯♾️
Is that what she says?! I always thought it was Nerds..
I never even heard of this show but I love Christy McNichol and found it : ) I am a late 70's/80s kid but it somehow slipped my radar.
Kristy
Right, meet you. I absolutely love all the episodes did you know there were many many episodes to this family show
Must be so awesome to have had a family growing up........
I understand that these shows sometimes make people feel even more sad when they recall their own childhoods. (It’s kind of like watching a happy Christmas movie if Christmas has only ever been a source of sadness.)
But try to remind yourselves that this show, and all others like it, represents a highly idealized depiction of family life. If your own family-of-origin makes you sad rather than happy, join the club. I’m happy to welcome you since I’m a member. 🙂 And remember, most of us had family lives that were nothing like this show. You’re not an outcast minority in this regard, you’re part of the majority. 😊
@@laceyunderall22 WISDOM.
I'm sorry :(
Real life families are usually overrated 🙂
@@poornimawijendra beats not having one
Oh those 1970's! A brown and orange kitchen (we had Harvest Gold) and ladies could smoke their More cigarettes at the beauty parlour...my grandmother smoked More's until the 1980's when she switched to Eve's!
Mine smoked Kent's and quit in the 80's too..she told me she 1st started smoking Lucky Strikes and it didn't diminish her air of class
@@lindaf4369 well though I don't advocate smoking my grandmother lived to 92! 😉
Lucky that the cigarette and some hair spray didn't cause a flare up. I remember people smoking on planes, in the movies, and in the supermarket. What a world back then.
I don't miss that smoking. I have so many allergies. I remember almost coughing up a lung when my friend's dad smoked in the station wagon when he took us to religious ed.
*Mores *Eves *Kents *1970s *80s
That is one GINORMOUS plot hole. Locks like that are illegal/outside code in almost every municipality.
Life without cellphones to call for help!
I really loved hearing Kate's inner feelings about her children in this episode! What did she bite through the umbilical cord...?
You try to enjoy your day off, and all of a sudden, you become a midwife.
If I had what Kate had in the 1970s ,for me it would have been the 1980s.a family 👪 ❤. I would have been very happy 😊. And never had taken it for granted 😊 ❤. Farhana.
I think that is Kim Darby! It took me a minute to figure it out!!
HOLY CRAP She played Lane's mom in Better Off Dead!!
I'm glad they had tea and some food....
A very awesome show they should make shows like that nowadays!!!!
I hope if any apartment or condominium actually did lock all the doors without making absolutely sure no one is still in there, that they stopped doing that. Maybe Kate and Lily could've sued them! At least they could've made sure the phones worked!
Why is it so dark in the house? Producers and directors saving money?
I wish Decades network was still on. It seems to have been sold to another company with a different vision.
Mitzi McCall was EXCELLENT. I knew that was her voice.
Thankyou
God bless Kate
How ARCHAIC! The mother doesn't have to play the "victim" by doing the laundry, grocery shoppiing and cleaning the kitchen. Just ask for the help. The lovely " family" members shouldn't have to be asked, either. If it's really a family, then everyone should pitch in.
Kim Darby is always EXCELLENT.
You folks obviously weren't born in the 50's. No one I knew wore gloves like Kate in the 70's or 80's. Or non-stop dresses or skirts.
Guess we were more working class people and not elite.
Glad to see Kate finally revolt against having to DO EVERYTHING, and they STILL whine not recognizing how upset she is!! And REALLY, this labor sure advanced quickly! To just having one pain in a long time to full blown labor! Ha!! Writers! And! Buddy should have been made to walk around with her “blind streaks!!” Sneaking around dying her hair! These kids get away with murder!
What did Kate use to tie the cord and cut it with? Where is the placenta, and all the dirty linen?
Thank goodness for cell phones.
no se podra conseguir familia serie de los 80 doblado al español ? gracias
At around 37 minutes, she’s talking to the pregnant girl. Did she say “after Timmy was born”?
Yes; he drowned at age 10 on a fishing trip.
Lane West thx, didn’t remember that.
@@beckygarcia4416 They focused on his death in one of the first episodes of the first season. They do not allow those first few seasons to be released anymore. John Rubenstein, who played Jeff and wrote the theme song, sued for some kind of copyright protection and blocked public access. It is a shame; the softer, smoother version of the theme song was beautiful to me. I loved to play it over and over due to the eloquence of the muted brass. The producers made him change it to the more lively version you hear on these later episodes. Not sure what the argument is about, but it is his prerogative. He was a talented musician.
A couple of early episodes mentioned Tim’s death and that was it. I thought it was odd that he didn’t come up more often.
I have seasons 1 &2 on DVD; I think still available on amazon. It's seasons 3&4 that have never been released.
"..after Timmy was born..." Timmy? Thought his name was Willie?
Timmy is the grandson. FYI
@@sydney13ismBaby Timmy is named after the Lawrence’s deceased son, Timmy. There were four children originally.
Is the the mom from Better off Dead
Lilly Barker was such an annoying unpleasant character. Imagine behaving like this in those days.
they For sure Don't Exist Family Like this so Rare
Nightmare fuel! Ack.
...This is absurd!😂😅😆🤣😆😅😂😅😆😹🤣🤭
This sort of thing happens all the time!
@@Xanthas71 The way that she delivered that line was so deadpan & hilarious, I felt that it bore repeating. 🤭
@@Xanthas71 I was wondering if you have the episode entitled: From Russia With Love? It aired May 17, 1979. IMDB only lists the primary cast members so I'm assuming it's a lost or rare episode, & no other contributors have been able to update the credits.
It seemed to me that Sada was well aware of just how absurd the script was!
I don't think anyone has it. But maybe you could ask Quinn. She's very nice. I follow her on twitter.
In a big house like that, why is the washer and dryer in the kitchen?
I don't know why there are subtitles to begin with, but also this isn't the first video of Family where they're all off (timing-wise). What the - ??
UA-cam does weird things that I can't control!
@@Xanthas71 Ah, ok. I can appreciate that. Was just wondering since I've noticed it before. Thanks for posting, and replying!! I loved this show as a kid and I get so excited every time I see you've posted another episode!!
turn off close captioning... a red line under "CC" means it's on
The mother could have broke the window and yelled outside. The management company effed up. This story line is not plausible at all.
Is the actress portraying the pregnant lady Kim Darby?
@33:57 - strange how she turns after her line. reminded me of annie wilkes in 'misery'.
also, did i hear that right? kate actually considered abortion?
sküll düggery If you haven’t seen the very first episode/aka the pilot episode “The Best Years”, PLEASE WATCH. It is a must see. It will clear up a lot of your questions and you will understand some things about Kate AND Doug.
@@MsTexas73 I can't find it. If someone does, please post a link?? Thank you!!
Shelley It’s blocked on YT, but here it is: www.dailymotion.com/video/x3p2rvo
Kate & Doug’s discussion starts at 21:00. They are such amazing actors.
@@MsTexas73 lol calm downnnn
@@Candlewick14 ???
The subtitles are in sync now.
UA-cam's video editor stinks. I am still in the process of trying to remove the commercials, but at least the subtitles are back in sync.
I used the old version of the youtube video editor to remove the commercials, and now the subtitle are back out of sync. Sorry!
Not the one I just watched
@@Xanthas71 I am getting a kick out of the commercials!
@@Xanthas71 enjoyed the episodes that had vintage commercials 👌
Oh my gosh! There was nothing on tv in the 70s either!
Not late at night ! No 24 hour news cycle. Most TV stations signed off around 1:00 or 2:00 am. Nothing but snow on the screen until the farm report at 5:00 AM.
The captions are completely WRONG
As previously mentioned, that's because of youtube's video editor.
I hate that for people who need them. It's not fair how messed up they usually are. So many times I've caught them lying about what is really said. They coddle the viewers as well by not telling the truth of whats being said. Really a pet peeve.
I like the Lawrence house much better than this condo...
"Those cracks aren't permitted anymore.. even in jest." Oh Doug if you only knew the politically correct, virtue signaling future....
