    I wish I had lived in a warm, loving and compassionate home such as this. So much luv... So much affection. I'd give anything to be loved and cared for in a dear, sweet FAMILY such as this......Words, just cannot describe. These definitely were SIMPLER times ❣️

      They were only simple and perfect on TV. You're romanticizing the era of Cambodian genocide, Ted Bundy luring, raping and killing young girls, and there were riots, drugs, shootings, and loss of employment and lack of basic needs in US and all over the world.

I was a true crime buff and an armchair detective for decades, not to mention all the nasty things they stream on tv these days. I just decided a year ago that I can't take it anymore, so I come here to UA-cam to watch old shows like this. It's been really good for me - I'm less anxious and worried these days. Calmer and happier. Retro sitcoms and game shows are the best! Don't worry about "worldly" tv... you're not missing anything! It's awful.

      here it is - the person who doesn't know the meaning of the word "underrated" .... this show was far from underrated - it ran for five seasons to critical acclaim ... "Family was widely acclaimed, with many critics calling it a bright spot of quality in ABC's primetime schedule..." it also won several awards ... "Family was nominated three times for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series, in 1977, 1978, and 1980. Three of its stars won acting Emmy Awards" ...
