This episode bothered me. Cause they made the main character on the show. A bad person. It was better to have a certain man come on the show play the part after he is told off. He leaves the show
I've loved this show during its' original run. I even have an autographed Valerie Bertinelli photo....but man...imagine if this ran today? Twitter would be in flames!!
Very true. If the situation had been reversed Craig would have been crucified, possibly losing everything. Women need to take responsibility for their actions too, if they truly want equal treatment. It's not just about getting more, but also taking the consequences of terrible decisions. I wonder what Ann would have done if she had been the one who was "unwantingly hit on"? Somehow I doubt she would have quit so fast, as Craig did...
@@DeborahtunesI'll take this a step further. If I were Craig, and even if I found Ann equally attractive, I wouldn't risk having sex with her that night because I would be afraid of Anne becoming remorseful and then possibly trying to blame me for all of what happened, then watch how quickly they would fire ME. I will say this, and it's not a defense of Ann. Craig WAS being awfully friendly to Anne up to the kiss. Maybe not flirty, but VERY friendly and informal. He should know better than to be giving his boss a massage, to say nothing of how it made Ann squeal with delight. I think Ann's boss didn't fire her because he heard the squeals and may have saw other things along the way to decide that Craig had played at least a small part in this problem. I think Craig might have tried to have it both ways. Being really friendly but trying to keep it just below anything sexual. Once again, Ann is 90% at fault between coercing him to come over on a Saturday night then the obvious kiss, and I do think she should have been fired, but I would hope it would have also been a teaching moment for Craig to get him to be a bit more professional himself. I'm all for being friendly and good natured in an office setting, but you have to understand the limits as well.
@@RedNekLvr22 ~ True. He bares a bit of the responsibility for what happened. But I still believe if it had been reversed, Ann would have fought tooth and nail to have him fired. Which more than likely would have happened. Of course it's a storyline, that was purposely written this way. But, I don't know what Craig was thinking, going over to her place so late. I doubt he realized Ann had a crush on him. If he had known, I don't believe he would've went there...
“We don’t encourage personel phone calls in this office”, right after her two daughters came to visit. The visit took well over 2 minutes, the phone call, about 10 seconds.
@s0urpatchkiddo… I thought so too. Here was Ann, a young, single, divorced mother of two, and usually acted like a professional in workplace, acting like THIS. This episode was stupid, unbelievable, and ridiculous.
Bonnie Franklin was a real ham. Pat used to say she would come in “ Hunting Bear” over the dialogue in the script every single morning before the other actors came in and would tweak and argue over her lines AND their lines.
You forget things over the years, but boy when she slipped that kiss in and kept on a going about the slogan it got a good ole belly laugh outta me like watching it for the first time.
Wow. Ann was so out of line. I liked what he told her. The tables were turned. She so deserved it. She tried to seduce him! She got jealous when I got that phone call.
And she knew he had a date on Saturday night. So she strongly suggested that he come over her apartment to work on an assignment that wasn't due for two weeks.
Ann As The Ol Saying Goes Dont Dip Your Pin In The Company Ink and dont take a swim in the company pool! By far Max was the handsomest one on the show! Julie lucked out! I could see it if John Stamos was the Secretary ! I would have been chewing my teeth down to the numb!
I’ve forgotten a lot of these episodes so I don’t recall this one. But I just watched the first 2 seasons of ODAAT on IMDb. Ann had experienced something similar during an earlier episode while interviewing for a job when her potential boss came to her apartment on a Friday night with a bottle of wine to “discuss the position” (which she alluded to in this episode), and she said no to his advances as she didn’t want to use sex to get the job but wanted to be hired her potential and abilities. Of course she wasn’t hired. Ann was a strong 70s liberal feminist in those earlier episodes, so it was kinda surprising to see her behave like this here (and to go from being an assistant to ad exec w/in 3 years [and that was the first job she ever had as she was a housewife for 17 years before her divorce]. Well it’s TV 😁 and I digress). But I guess this was a cautionary tale - for that time - that anyone can fall into falsely believing that women could not sexually harass men - as she discovered at the very end - and that unchecked power can corrupt someone in situations like this where a boss uses an attraction to an employee to take advantage of them. Probably one difference here is that Ann finally got it (tho it took her way longer than I would have liked) and didn’t repeat this behavior. But it was kinda hard to see this character be this lecherous and obtuse - even the audience groaned - about her behavior to begin with.
Wasn't this show late 70s? Inflation was starting to build. When Reagan was in office in 1981, I believe mortgages were double digit interest, so impossible for most. Plus Reagan was destabilizing unions and cutting most of the public sector, except defense, so jobs were difficult as well. The only solution he had was "trickle down economics", and we know what a mess that was. The economy was a mess during both Reagan and Bush Sr. That's why Clinton won in 1992 with "It's the economy, stupid "
Mortgage rates were very high during the Reagan years, double digit. Isn't this show late 70s? So those market factors were building, and trickle down economics made it worse when Reagan arrives in 1981.
Years later they did a similar situation in Friends where Rachel hired a male aide and wound up having an affair with him as well. Talk about inappropriate, but because she's a woman it was ok. 🙄
Do you have any of the ‘Happy New Year’ episodes taped?? The ones where the family all goes to put on a show at the retirement home in NYE … they were my favorite shows of my favorite series. It’s the sweetest and most fun thing .. and the fact that they went back and did it three times - all NY Eves. I’d give a lot to see those shows again.
But how many women who were just starting to build the law around sexual harassment were laughed at by their supervisors and co workers when they tried to report their abusers? I think that's the point here, for the male audience to feel how sleazy it is and how horrible it feels when someone treats you this way on the job.
But when they filmed this, sexual harassment on the job was still a new topic. I believe some of the court precedent to establish a definition of a hostile work environment weren't settled until 1992?
But i think that's the point, for the audience to feel exactly how inappropriate workforce harrassment is. Remember, this is a relatively new topic, and most of the law that we now take for granted hadn't been settled yet. I seem to remember the New York Times magazine doing an in depth story on a lawyer who had scored a win for the definition of a hostile work environment. I think that was approximately 1992, so this episode is about fifteen years ahead?
When I watch this episode I realize it Anne wasn’t entirely at fault here,because Craig also he already had a date but went over anyway,he also knew the Benson account wasn’t due yet,he still went because he wanted to be there.Just think about that.
I disagree. Her statement "i guess if your personal life is more important than your job", was a subtle threat, even a blind man could see this. So he felt he had no choice.
RIP Bonnie Franklin. I liked her but my wife said she is "plain & corny and over-does her facial expressions". She loves Schneider but says McKenzie Phillips looks trashy but Valerie Bertinelli is "cool".
Valerie's hair is beautiful
I noticed it had some curl, so thick looking & gorgeous!
This show always had powerful real life writing . Bonnie Franklin had excellent acting skills
Agree. Bonnie was very talented 👌

Linda Marsh and Marge Peters. They wrote a lot of my favorite episodes from The Facts of Life. I never knew they wrote this.
Are you kidding? She strutted on that set like she was o a Paris runway!! 😮 Ridiculous!!!! What a ham, terrible actress!
One day at a time is still my number 1 tv show. And I,am really proud of you Valerie bertineli. Tom Degrange
Times sure have changed. If they made this show now Ann would be in big trouble.
This episode or this show??

Surprised this episode didn't end with Ms. Romano being fired!
he quit and she didnt get fired?? what??
@@colleenroyle588 Ann Romano could get away with just about anything including slapping anybody who triggered her bad temper.
Wouldn't be a good double standard if she was punished..like a man would have
@@citydweller99 "like a guy would've." Lmao, I know plenty of guys that have gotten away with such lecherous behavior.
She pushed way to heard and couldn’t just wait to see if he liked her at all 🤦🏽♀️. Very manly of her to be aggressive. Well written 👏
You may be a fan of Michael Lembeck, but this clip isn't of him. This was Craig not Max.
Oh I need more episodes of this amazing show
15:45 Craig: _"I think I better go..."_
Ann: _"Shame, I was hoping you'd become the something that came over me..."_

Bad Anne, bad Anne!
Yes,though it didn't really fit Ann's character to act like that.@veronicaa.1416
Explain the title of this video? Michael Lembeck is Max not Craig.
The poster is a fan of Michael Lembeck.
John Hillerman from Magnum P.I. is playing Ann Romano's boss.
He was also a homosexual let's not forget that.
I always loved how he said "Ms" as
"M.S."
@@marcaskew6199 Let's not!!
THIS HAPPENED OUT OF THE WORKPLACE, OFF THE CLOCK, N HER APARTMENT, NOTHING LEFT 2 TALK ABOUT.....
Ann was a total hypocrite in this episode! She deserved what she got.
Except she doesn’t lose anything. The assistant just conveniently quits.
Wht she get, tho?
Nothing happened, beside her realizing her wrong and giggles from the family.

IMD - that isn’t a streaming service is it? I just see them list programs and wrote synopses.
I can’t find anywhere that shows all the seasons.
Great episode
wouldn't you have thought by some time Ann would have bought a house?
Maybe she didn't want a house ..a house isn't for everybody. The cost for maintenance is exhausting and exorbitant.
I don't think so with the girls just a few years from moving out.

A friend had an affair with a married man she was his boss when she ended the affair he sued for sexual harassment.
I know this is a year old but did he win?
Mr. Connors reminds me of Hitler
I can't work out with the American accent if they are saying Craig or Greg?! It sounds like Creg, in NZ we say a longer vowel for Craaig lol
Geez can you say sexual harassment.
