That's an interesting way to put it about how she's doing, you know, considering... Whenever I think of her, I think how young I was when the show aired and used to think her name was pronounced Mack-a-knees when I'd see it on the screen.
Look people if you have any negative comments about any of the actresses go watch another video on UA-cam. Some of us loved this show and just want to appreciate it for what it was.
It was excellent seeing this again. This was such a great series! Love seeing Julie choose Max in the end. Thank you for sharing this. God Bless You & stay safe.
You can tell this is around the time Mack was struggling with drug abuse. Them firing her was necessary, but im sure it just added to the pain she was trying to mask with drugs. It was a daunting process, but im glad she eventually conqured her demons.
@ny giants fan raider fan He was a dud on this show. They made him into an idiot, completely oblivious to Julie's behavior. The red flag was when she was going through the guest list and exclaimed: "Who the hell is Beatrice Clinton?" "My mother!" That should have been it.
Poor Mackenzie. She was so ill from drugs then.. She was only 20 years old here, and this is the best top make-up and wardrobe people could make her look.
@ny giants fan raider fan Yes,she is only slightly older then I am. She did play the mother on the show "So weird" and tour with The Mamas and the Papas. But with her talent she could have done so much more.
@@carollewis3912 Yes,but she was so young and her make-up and hair stylists and dresser were all tops in the field. They did a good job but her appearance is markedly different from just a few years earlier.
This was the third and fourth episodes filmed in season five and the last of the four episodes to have my favorite version of the opening credits (25:59) - with shots of Indianapolis in the background. After this episode, they went to a green-blue plain background to add Michael's credit for the "scrapbook theme". Some of the shots used in the next set of opening credits came from this episode. The producers knew something was up with Mackenzie here - she looks very thin already and they wouldn't have thrown episodes like this together and them NOT airing in November sweeps.
Clearly, Julie was not ready to get married and this was rushed. She had just had a deep relationship she couldn't handle at the end of season 4. Then presto, in a matter of months, she goes on a ski trip in October and gets married to the best man.
@ny giants fan raider fan She was suspended for six shows to "go to rehab". There is a video on here when Michael Lembeck said during that wedding episode, Mackenzie called him into her dressing room....where she had lines of cocaine on a table. He knew he was in trouble then. Also, there was a rehearsal when she was going through her purse and a vial of cocaine fell out - other actors saw it. I think she actually admitted to that.
I have a vivid memory of seeing this episode when I was a little girl and my mother saying that Julie didn't take marriage seriously because she came from a "broken home." My parents' marriage lasted for another five miserable years.
But I think Julie’s character was better for ratings. Barbara brought in a few male viewers. But it was mostly women watching this tv show. And women don’t watch women cuz they’re attractive. A lot of women related to Julie. Barbara was boring, and s goody 2 shoes.
Drama keeps people tuned in. Barbara didn't have too much drama and was seen as a good girl. Julie was always in some kind of trouble and her decision making was rocky at best. That is what made her a favorite because she was more relatable to teen girls and in general . Its not about looks its more about whom people most related to
It appears to me that Julie couldn't handle a strong man like max because he was so crazy in love with her but was so afraid to really give herself a heart to him as I seen this years ago from what I seen that she only meant Fred no more than a month and was rushing to tie the knot to disapointment but max on the other hand really confronted Julie about putting on a show about her ways about she's afraid to love and it really showed how much she was going though after every episode that max was trying to really hold on to her the more he push himself the more she pulled back...he really really loved her as he said ...it really made her seen that he wasn't joking about it...it takes a strong person like max to actually say those charming words to her about him being honest about how much he really cared about her....on the other hand about Fred there that future wouldn't have made it with Julie...just can't jump to marriage right away...that takes months and years to really get to know each other
I loved watching (Captain Kool and the Cong) One of my favorite shows when I was a little girl...😃 Michael was so cute to me. I always had a crush on him...💕
The Waltons, at least there appeared to be a time gap between Mary Ellen switching grooms. Here Julie is about to marry one guy,then marrying a different guy the same morning.
And in "A Different World", Whitley does the same thing. On the altar with Byron and ended up marrying Dwayne after he confessed (again) his love for her, while she secretly still loved Dwayne. I always wonder: If Dwayne hadn't shown up, would she have married Byron anyway?
Point being, Barbara only pulls in male viewers. Or lesbians. Most average women related to the Julie character. And straight women were the most viewers.
Gosh I wish Schneider and Ann Romano would've hooked up..... that would have been a happy ending even though Schneider was old enough to be Ann's father
@@lilalicata616 I just felt like she could have been a lot more dressy. She was too casual of a bride. That would be good for her mom-a second time bride.

Answer to what happened shorter answer what didn't ! Poor little thing , drugs, incest,abuse and self harm she tried to kill the demons, thank God she fought so hard to stay. She's a remarkable women!
Dumb episode. Julie on a whim, decides to marry some guy she just met on the slopes, that she just met two days ago? And then she realizes she's not in love with Fred, she's in love with Max? The OTHER guy she just met on the slopes two days ago? Like why doesn't she try dating the guy for a couple weeks first? And she did wind up running out on this guy anyway; and they fought pretty regularly while they were married...so OBVIOUSLY that was a dumb move.
Normal people can and do argue. It's more concerning when people don't disagree ever. As for the episode, if it wasn't quirky, it wouldn't be a sitcom. On the other hand, people DO do dumb things like this in real life too, so... Ha.
You think that's creepy - you should see the 1975 "Three to Get Ready" pilot. Schneider using his pass key to get into the apartment where Julie and her friend Sara were.
.....THIS here, shows why the 'Julie' character was SO problematic for the show, onscreen, AND off! FIRST: Mackenzie's appearance; even though she was a tall, svelte, young lady, here, she indefinitely reached an 'unhealthy' looking apex...drained, lifeless hair, long stringy arms, pale PALE skin, almost NO bosom, and we're to believe she has these two STUDS, fighting for HER?! Max has a sexy 'bite' to him, so it would've made MORE sense, if it was BARBARA who they were fighting for! The writers / producers knew 'Julie' was the troublesome one that could give 'lines' to the other characters, but Mackenzie's 'travails' were at an all-time....'high'....here, and was about ready to.....'blow'...... : ( "Fred" was a 'placeholder', but Michael got the short end of the stick around this ep; to be a new addition to an established TV series, & have the central character you're 'involved' with, dismissed / fired / truncated, must have caused concern for him! ...but, Valerie....OH, Valerie! STUNNINGLY gorgeous; FULL full-bodied hair, and, gaining a 'Full Body', in those tight jeans, she was setting a PRECEDENT for T.V. 'tom-girls' turned beautiful SWANS in 1979! ...THAT was probably why Mackenzie couldn't 'cope' on the series...Oh well, One Day at a 'Time'......¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Julia was always plainer than Barbara but when she was healthy looking it was feasible she would be popular. Here it's just sad,she looks older than Ann.
Boy!! I get so sick and tired!! of every sitcom, every drama show, every movie show, you look at on TV they do the same old boring routine when a man and woman is about to get married they get into a big argument before they get married and then they start hugging and kissing because every single TV show I look at that involved a man and woman about to get married go through the same boring thing over and over again they have to start an argument before they can get married please can a producer or a director or writer out there somewhere come up with some New concept besides the same old stuff that has been going on since decades couples do not have to argue every time they get ready to get married
I always liked this show but thought the casting was odd. It also seemed a bit cruel for McKenzie and Valerie to be cast as sisters...when one was obviously so much prettier. Mackenzie in a romantic storyline? She sounds like she just smoked a pack of Kools. No thanks.
Every time I see MacKenzie Philipps I think about the hell she went through. I am so glad that she's doing a lot better.
That's an interesting way to put it about how she's doing, you know, considering...
Whenever I think of her, I think how young I was when the show aired and used to think her name was pronounced Mack-a-knees when I'd see it on the screen.
I had the biggest crush on Max 🥰😍🥰🥰😍
Very handsome!
Look people if you have any negative comments about any of the actresses go watch another video on UA-cam. Some of us loved this show and just want to appreciate it for what it was.
Thank you, perfectly put. I loved this show during its original run & still love it now. I agree with you one hundred & ten percent!
Agreed❤🎉😂
I remember doing homework and hearing this episode in the back room as we weren’t allowed to on a school night.
Schneider was quite an actor even before he did one day at a time and when he did it great actor nice looking handsome man too
It was excellent seeing this again. This was such a great series! Love seeing Julie choose Max in the end. Thank you for sharing this. God Bless You & stay safe.

I'm guessing Fred & Max's friendship didn't make it after all this!! :D
We never see Fred again, correct.
@@millenniumman75 Actually we did. He changed his name and married Erin Walton.
@@lisalewis5664 lol well, yeah, but he was never on One Day at a Time again.

This is one of the Norman Lear shows I absolutely love. I will own this 😊❤
I think the name Carrie Heffernan is from the show King of Queens!! Thank you for putting on One day at a time, I love this show!✌️👍⭐😁💯
I love her eyebrow raise when Max says he loves her, lol! Just sheer “hang on, WHAT?” (25:25)
Michael Lembeck is a tv director. I always think of Max when I see his name.
Poor Mackenzie. She was so ill from drugs then.. She was only 20 years old here, and this is the best top make-up and wardrobe people could make her look.
And we're supposed to believe that two good looking men are in love with her...
@ny giants fan raider fan So sad. Thank goodness she is doing okay now.
@ny giants fan raider fan Yes,she is only slightly older then I am. She did play the mother on the show "So weird" and tour with The Mamas and the Papas. But with her talent she could have done so much more.
I don't see that Julie looks so bad. I've seen worse from drugs.
@@carollewis3912 Yes,but she was so young and her make-up and hair stylists and dresser were all tops in the field. They did a good job but her appearance is markedly different from just a few years earlier.
A clear warning Max and Julie's marriage was doomed from the start.
Michael Lembeck was so beautiful then.

Love when Max tells Julie that
Julie loves Max
I'm still trying to understand how neither of those idiots could keep their attention off of Barbara. Good gravy, men.
That's what I say. I always thought she was better looking.
But I think Julie’s character was better for ratings. Barbara brought in a few male viewers. But it was mostly women watching this tv show. And women don’t watch women cuz they’re attractive. A lot of women related to Julie. Barbara was boring, and s goody 2 shoes.

Both Julie and Barbara married guys they initially couldn't stand, after a whirlwind romance.
Love this episode
The last time I saw this was literally when it aired and I was in the first grade or 2nd grade I think.
I remember this. Seemed weird that in the end she married Max and not Fred. Of course, the marriage didn't last.
That's because she was going through stuff and got fired
She left him and her daughter in an episode ...
RIP Morgan Stevens.
Isnt it Something To Attend A Wedding and have intentions to marry the groom and wind up with the best man? Patrick Dempsey would love this episode!
It appears to me that Julie couldn't handle a strong man like max because he was so crazy in love with her but was so afraid to really give herself a heart to him as I seen this years ago from what I seen that she only meant Fred no more than a month and was rushing to tie the knot to disapointment but max on the other hand really confronted Julie about putting on a show about her ways about she's afraid to love and it really showed how much she was going though after every episode that max was trying to really hold on to her the more he push himself the more she pulled back...he really really loved her as he said ...it really made her seen that he wasn't joking about it...it takes a strong person like max to actually say those charming words to her about him being honest about how much he really cared about her....on the other hand about Fred there that future wouldn't have made it with Julie...just can't jump to marriage right away...that takes months and years to really get to know each other
I love your analysis
The episode, where Michael Lembeck ended the potential typecasting, of Kaptain Kool.
I loved watching (Captain Kool and the Cong) One of my favorite shows when I was a little girl...😃 Michael was so cute to me. I always had a crush on him...💕
Just like The Waltons episode, when Mary Ellen almost married another Doctor, instead of Dr. Curtis Willard.
Hold everything--Mary Ellen married Dr. Curtis Willard instead of Dr. David Spencer.
The Waltons, at least there appeared to be a time gap between Mary Ellen switching grooms. Here Julie is about to marry one guy,then marrying a different guy the same morning.
I was just thinking about this and wondering if anyone else in the comments had already mentioned it.
And in "A Different World", Whitley does the same thing. On the altar with Byron and ended up marrying Dwayne after he confessed (again) his love for her, while she secretly still loved Dwayne. I always wonder: If Dwayne hadn't shown up, would she have married Byron anyway?
I always felt max should of been with Barbara and Julie should of been with someone else
They should have been.
This was one of those complicated love triangle relationship episode.
This episode is crazy.
That green looks so nice on Julie.
They gave Valerie the best lines
Who the hell is Beatrice Clinton? My mother.
I'm a straight white female, but if I were to become a lesbian, I'd definitely be trying to hook up with Valerie Bertinelli!!
Point being, Barbara only pulls in male viewers. Or lesbians.
Most average women related to the Julie character. And straight women were the most viewers.
Wow, he was a good looking guy!!!!!!
Cool wedding

Why Did She Say She Was In Love With Max Right Before Shes About To Be Married? The Way Max Looks At Her You Can Truly Tell Hes In Love With Julie!
@Veronica A. She wasn't strong enough for him ..the more he push on the more she held back ...she was scared
I had the biggest crush on Mackenzie Philips (still do) and I when I was a little kid I was jealous of Max.
Id forgotten how every commercial was medical back in the day. Thanks for not editing them out so we got to enjoy them again. Sarcasm
Torn between 2 lovers lol.
"Be Happy."
Love it
Gosh I wish Schneider and Ann Romano would've hooked up..... that would have been a happy ending even though Schneider was old enough to be Ann's father
Apparently he had a wife
I think the series made him seem so much like family (like the fun, eccentric uncle) that it would seem unfeasible for Ann to fall in love with him.
Fred probably was happy they divorced.
Cheers sweet dreams god love you
Cool wedding atthis
Timeontvathis
Time
Cheers
She should’ve married Fred. Max wasn’t a good provider.
Max was the Alpha male.
He attracted both Julie and Barbara
Fred was the "nice" guy
Julie made the wrong choice
In the beginning MacKenzie Philipps was so cute. Then the drugs really did a job on her.
How is Schneider more dressed up than the bride?
I didn't care for Julie's bridal outfit. She could have done better.
@@carollewis3912I didn’t care for the boots.
@@lilalicata616 I just felt like she could have been a lot more dressy. She was too casual of a bride. That would be good for her mom-a second time bride.
No comments on the producer, huh? Lol. 26:29.

lol
Sorry, but Fred was the right guy.
Fred and Julie have nothing in common. Like obviously.

She was using drugs

I loved this show but when they started giving Schneider more air time I stopped watching it.
Anyone else find it creepy that Julie is talking about her lovemaking by the fireplace with the building super?
It wasn't creepy it was done tastefully and funny, thanks to my dad, Pat Harrington Jr, Schneider. Also, my dad loved Mack, like a real daughter!
You think that's creepy - you should see the 1975 "Three to Get Ready" pilot. Schneider using his pass key to get into the apartment where Julie and her friend Sara were.
Tresa H. Wow Pat Harrington was your father? He was adorable as Schneider and i also loved him on the Love Boat with Florence Henderson!
