My fav show. My mom and I used to watch this together. I watch it alone now. She has passed. But it brings back so many memories. I miss you mom.❤❤
SAME FOR ME TOO ON ALL STAY STRONG💗💗
I mis my Mom, too, always with me
Karen Larsen: Me too :(
❤ Mom I miss you so much ❤
Karen Larsen, me too.😪
when children see shows like this it makes them want a family like this one ❤❤😊😊
Until they see Willie
True. That's why I wasn't allowed to watch it ... or Eight is Enough 😆
Kate is the sort of Mum everybody needs. Firm but fair but always always there when you need a hug and unconditional love
I would've liked to have a brother like Willie, though... ☹
Kate was great. She could have made a success out of Hunter Biden
@intoarut you'd like to have a gay brother?
Love Kate, she is such an amazing mother. She is the rock of the family. "I'll hold you together." That got me. ❤
I've loved having her as my mother-in-law these past 40 years ❤️
Watching shows like this helped children who came from a dysfunctional family want to strive for a family of their own just like the Lawrence family. Family shows were a teaching tool. Look how polite and respectful everyone was. I was in Walmart the other day and there were children dropping the f -bomb. The adults that were with them didn't bat an eye. It is shameful how our society has become. We have all of this technology and knowledge through the internet but we are tuning back into a society of heathens.
I thought Nancy was immature, impatient.
Willie was a cad with no direction.
Annie was annoying!! That lisp!! Ugh!!
Annie was annoying at the beginning. But she is comical.
I was one of those kids. I'm SO GRATEFUL I grew up in the 70s, with so many wholesome shows on tv. It was a much needed break from the chaos of my home life, and taught me so many lessons I wasn't even remotely learning at home.
@@stutteringjohnsunpaidgasbi7285 Man, you just describe me. Yes, we were lucky to have these kind of television programs growing up in the 70s. I turned 8 in 1978 and vividly remember how life was back then for an 8 year old. I have fond memories of that time.
Tallulah's Mom You can say that again and again and again ad infinitum.
There needs to be a Star on the Walk of Fame for Sada Thompson if there isn’t one already. She very deserving of it. ⭐️⭐️
“ I love you all”
At the end
So sweet ❤️
Years ago families used to live at home later until married. Love it , made my dad sad when I wanted to get married and leave home
My dad said he didn't understand why I wanted to leave and live just five miles up the road
I was 18
Unfortunately today
" living at home " is uncool. Kids are raised to leave home at 18 whether they are ready or not! Just look around you and see how that's working out! Our families and children are in a shambles!
Yes, I agree… nothing wrong with kids staying longer, my kids were home till they were 22, now both successful women, and me n my kids dad lived at my dads when we had our first born, my dad loved the company, Americans think kids have to leave home right at 18-
If Willie was my older brother I'd leave home when I was 5
For those of us who did not have a tight knit family that cared for and loved each other, this is a fantasy family. I wish I had a family like this growing up
So True, Enjoy!
Me, too.
I can relate. It’s nice to believe this is how families really are.
Me three
Me four
I love when Kate says “I love you all” during the photo. She’s a wonderful Mom.
And pretty
KA ~ lts funny you say that. My grandmother who lived until she was 103 said to me in the 70's that she didn't like 'Family' because the mother was a ''Square''. Hahaha! xD She wasnt a liberal either! l'll always remember that comment. We need more SQUARES! _Especially_ in these bizarre days!
I very much enjoy having her as a mother in law
👍
Yeh.......NOT REAL LIFE
I adored the Willie/Buddy relationship. Very much the relationship I have with my brother😊
Sounds lovely, Peaches 🍑
This was a well to do family, middle class, where mom stayed home. I always wished for this life as a kid
...I had this & took it for granted, also got into trouble because all of my teachers knew that they could call Mom at a moment's notice & they knew she'd drive over to the school if needed. I appreciate it now but I found it annoying at the time because I always wanted to have more freedom to get into stuff in between Boy Scout meetings & summer camp.
👍🏽💯🤗
@@user-mj8nf2vp7q we always want what we don’t have.
I loved this show when it was on before (the 80's?). is was a time where families and motherhood was appreciated and respected. I love that thI love their blue and white willow dishes and blue checkered curtains.
Same!
I want that coffee pot.
1976 - 1980
It's funny that Buddy calls Willie's jacket tacky. Kristy McNichol and her brother Jimmy wore jacket's like that often in photos and on their 1978 album. Satin jackets were very popular in the late 70's and early 80's, especially for guys.
Satin jackets and satin pants were all the rage with teens and young women back then too. It was the disco era which had a big influenced the fashion industry. I don’t miss those days. Don’t miss the teen angst and all that accompanied it.
I had one 😂😂😂
@@wyosagekat. me too. 🤦🏼♀️🤣😂 Off topic, I looked at your channel & noticed that you’re a Christian. I am too. God is good! ✨♥️✝️♥️✝️
It's almost like she's reading from a script and not making up the words as she goes along! Imagine that. Crazy world. I think it's called, "acting".
Willie's jacket was bad even for the 70s
I don’t remember Kate being vulnerable at all when I watched this show before. Kate is very endearing and moving
in her more tender moments.
This is the only episode of being vulnerable
I never liked her. I was all about Buddy.
I wished Kate was my mother.
--Oh me too!!!
Kat
Oh nertz! Lol. I’m so happy I found these and thank you so much for uploading them. I absolutely loved watching Family when I was younger. Loved it so much. Thank you again for bringing these episodes and memories back.
I dont remember ever being cuddled by my Mom. I sure remember her digging her nails in during a quick hug. Hurt like hell.
@@lorimiller4301 Hugs for you as I read your comment in 2023🤗
Thank you, I sure appreciate it. 🤗
They've got Annie too sarcastic,and too grown
The child lost her parents. She is probably afraid of getting to attach to the Lawrence's in fear of losing them too.
She knew her aunt didn't want her, which I thought was terrible.
@@jensmom604 yeah that was terrible her aunt through her off on the lawrences
She was delightful. I don't understand all the hatred directed at Annie.
Particularly when this couple forgot they agreed to take her; and they were just abruptly informed they would have to the day before because her aunt didn’t want her after “trying” for six months. In fact, I think it is absurd they just seemed to expect her to just feel comfortable and embrace them as family members immediately.
@@Daybreaq Yes!
I love the ending. Annie goes upstairs and gets her stuffed animal and has her picture made with the Larwences.
The stuffed animal has more to say than Timmy.
I never knew how Annie came to live with the Lawrence family. Thanks for sharing!
I always thought they found her in a garbage pail
This was was one of the Best shows ever.
Yes it was, but I COULDN'T STAND Annie!! (I just didn't like Annie)
@@Getrealpeeps me either, I thought they put her in there so there was not enough buddy, I loved buddy
Agree!
@@Getrealpeeps yes and the earlier epis were the best
@leannesmith5818 the producers wanted to have an ace in the hole in case Kristy left the show to pursue other projects
That's a wonderful line ," please stay I'll hold you together"
I was too young when this on… and now it seems I’ve found a treasure
I haven't seen this show since the seventies, still holds up.
I don't think I'd be handling losing my parents and having to go to a strange family as well as Annie. She's doing pretty good.
Especially considering she'll have to live with Willie
@@XxowendanxX People who dislike Willie are trash.
She's a fictional character. The whole set-up to her going to the Lawrence's is absurd. Really bad writing.
What an aunt. Thank God Annie had The Lawrences.
I was 13 when this series began. My friend & I loved the show bc of Buddy/Kristy McNichols! I never realized the topics were so grown up. Lol It's so great to watch the show again! It brings back memories! The shows these days are full of trash!
I was 20 when this show started, still love it.
"I love you all" Kate, immediately b4 the picture is snapped. ♥️
GOES STRAIGHT TO MY HEART💗
ALWAYS A TEAR COMES TO MY EYES AT THAT MOMENT🤗💗💗🤗
I wish she was my mom...
@@joeyv8808 God bless you sweetie ❤
Funny how Kate trying to wake up Doug by calling his name and nothing, but one flick of a light switch and he's wide awake.😂
He was hungover something awful
Willie, a grown man, living at home, eats breakfast prepared by his mother then jumps up, leaving his plates on the table. Unreal.
He could at least buy his own food and clean up after himself, although we do see him doing chores around the house.
That’s the 70’s for ya. Men don’t clean up after themselves- it’s a women’s job.
And he certainly is quick to hop into bed with any woman who looks at him - ha, what a joke - Willie as a stud. I blame the writers for that.
lol - I know soooo many dushie guys who live at home and are taken care of by their mothers
It's almost like it's a tv show from the 70s. Imagine that!
I don't know how the last two generations get through life. They act as if ALL life started when they were born, they have no understanding of "context". It's pathetic and incredibly boring. Most comments are about appearances and anything superficial.
The first sign Nancy and Jeff 2.0 was doomed: he wasn't asked to be in the family portrait.
I find him so immature, doesn't know what he wants.
The Lawrences had a strict family rule. Willie is the only doosh allowed in family photos.
Totally amazing show for its time. Thanks Mike Nichols
It’s stupid that they don’t tell Buddy to put herself in Annie’s shoes. I understand always feeling like you don’t fit it. Thank God I’m not a child anymore.
Buddy was wrong to talk to Annie like that but she did warm up to Annie after a long enough time
Annie was an annoying kid, but it wasn't fair the way the family members all put the responsibility on the child to fit in and accept the family. She just lost both parents and was then rejected by her aunt. Poor little thing was completely heartbroken and lost and alone in the world and trying to pretend she was ok and didn't need anything or anybody. They should have just gone slowly and let her settle in at her own pace and get comfortable. Buddy was particularly insensitive. Could she not relate to the child's situation at all? I can only imagine how she would react if she lost her parents.
As someone who has taken piano lessons that’s pretty impressive for one year of lessons.
"And I know that any child that comes within 50 feet of you and needs love will get it."
What a responsibility for one to take on. However, they did sign an agreement.
Yes, people should be very careful about signing things like that.
People shouldn't give into their family's emotionalism because of others being needy.
loved/love this show but the annie character was too precocious for my taste she was like a 45 year old in a kids body
You took the words right out of my mouth!
"Annie" was short for "amphetamine"
I love the birds in the background
Buddy’s being totally insensitive & selfish😬 in the “Changes” episode but, then again, she has a habit of doing that quite often!!
She came around eventually
@@XxowendanxX Willie was a brat too here. Too easily offended for a young adult.
@@lizardbeth68 everyone in the entire family was full of themselves at one point or another. Some more than others, some several times and some in practically every episode. They were certainly a high maintenance group. If they were all a bunch of nice people all the time the series probably would've been boring. To have good drama you probably need conflict. These days, the word drama in all its forms is practically a euphemism for obnoxious behavior. In Willie's case, I think people expect too much maturity, because Gary Frank was almost a decade older than Willie. Willie was a teenager during most of the show's run but it's easy to miss that because Gary Frank was over 25 and was pushing 30 by the time the show ended and he looked every bit of it.
I used to watch this show in the '70s. Yes it's on the schmaltzy side, but it had its moments. This was a good episode airdate Sept. 21st, 1978, Annie (Quinn Cummings) debut.
But Quinn was also that pesky neighborhood kid Marcy just 7 or so episodes before this one.
The size of all the bedrooms amazed me they were massive
Meredith’s Nancy didn’t seem to have much chemistry with Buddy and Willie. I didn’t buy her as a sister. I suppose it didn’t help that she didn’t appear in all the episodes and didn’t live in the house with them.
There was a huge age difference between Nancy and Buddy. 15 years.
She was also a lot older and kind of into herself
Agreed. Nancy is much older, married\divorced with a kid... Way to adult, like another mom
@@craigsmith157, more like 10 years.
@@craigsmith157 Nancy is ten years older than Buddy, five yrs older than Willie who is five yrs older than Buddy who is five yrs older than Annie
I remember a time when one could smoke anywhere, even the Dr's office or hospital, times have sure changed.
Now it's replaced with vaping and pot and hate.
Willie needs to leave home. He's a grown ass man!
Yes, but who would want to leave that home. It's wonderful there.
He was almost grown when the show started. I actually thought it was pretty interesting that the series began with the 2 oldest Lawrence children not being kids anymore....But yeah, the parents never seemed prepared for that empty nest thing...
nowadays no-one can afford to leave.
@@user-ir8mf7km6w Nonsense! get rid of your streaming service, cell phone and Music App. Stop paying for Latte's. Or better yet, get a 2nd job and move out of Mommy's house like a man!
@@SmidBeach There actually was another child, named "Tim" who died 5 years before the series began. They only talked about him a few times and Nancy named her son after him.
One of my favorite shows growing up! I wanted to be just like Kristy McNichols. Now I appriciate the storylines. Great show!
Me too
Thank you for the uploads. Brings back wonderful moments.
THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT KATIE SAYING☆ I LOVE YOU ALL ☆THAT GOES TO MY HEART ALWAYS THEN AND NOW!!💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
She didn't mean Willie though
I guess grief counseling wasn't a thing for kids in those days? Yipes.
Buddy was written as a selfish, largely dense character and she doesn't fail to disappoint here. Gee, what could possibly be bothering a kid whose parents died and whose family member threw her away?
Seems they were expecting alot from a kid whose parents had just died.
Well the kid was way beyond her 11 years.
Timmy aged 5 years in one season.
Yeah I saw that and I thought that Nancy was pregnant again when she was engaged to Jeff for the second time
He was a leap year baby
@@XxowendanxX😂😂
The Lawrences put in a lot of hard work trying to get Annie to warm up to them. They must have really cared about her. They didn't need her for anything, there was nothing in it for them. They were doing just fine without her. They could have easily said fine, little girl, you don't like us we'll get rid of you quickly and you can be someone else's problem.
Her parents just died. What was the right way for her to behave?
But that is not the Lawrences style. They wanted to make it work for Annie. They didn't want to throw her out like yesterday's trash. I knew that when Kate told Annie that she would send her back to live with her Aunt back in New York, it was all a bluff.
And Kate also knew how to get Annie to open up about the death of her parents, and then when she finally grieved, Kate was right there with her. When Annie decided she wanted to stay, the Lawrence family accepted her with open arms.
While Willie couldn't stand Annie at first, he later on took it upon himself to immediately step in and fill the role of big brother. Especially since Buddy has gotten older and matured, no longer needing Willie. And while Buddy detested her, she realized the benefits of having a younger sister and also took on the big sister role of Annie, helping to watch over her.
While Doug and Kate both grew to love Annie as their own child, I noticed that their styles of parenting were different as Doug was the move fun and loving parent. Meanwhile, Kate was more of the strict parent and disciplinarian. However, it was Kate that Annie went to when she needed advice or needed their help on an important matter.
And I also loved how Annie stepped in and bonded with Timmy right away. And even though it took a while, it was nice when she finally bonded with Nancy and also looked to her as an older sister like she did with Buddy.
@@trevorbarnhill697 yep. I found nothing to disagree with. I was complimenting the Lawrences. They didn't need Annie for anything and she wasn't the easiest person in the world to love but for her sake they put up with her until she came around. It was Kate who did all the heavy lifting. Willie and Buddy wanted nothing to do with her. Her bonding with Timmy was the writers' way of letting the viewers know that Annie was not a complete psycho, she was just having trouble adjusting to her new life.
I am blessed to be watching this show for the first time ever! Growing up we only got one channel, two on a good day and the channel that this show aired on was not one of them. Thanks Xanthas 71!
Lovely show. I never missed it when i was a teen. Always wanted a bedroom like buddy's.
I wanted a guesthouse like Nancy's.
Buddy's room plus Annie's window seat is perfect.
@@jensmom604 Me too!
I just wanted Buddy. She was my dream girl.
@@RDASoccer yours and half the guys in America. Where can I find a girl like Buddy?
Guess I don't remember much of the episodes with the new kid, Quinn Cummings , the producers must of wanted a replacement for Buddy who was looking quite grown up at this point. There really wasn't any chemistry between Annie and any of the main characters, I see this now. Still love watching these old episodes.
Adding Annie was a big mistake. She was nothing but filler material......boring filler material. Any story focusing on this insipid little twit was pure junk.
I didn't like Annie only because they had her acting older than what she was. It always seems like when the youngest one gets older they add in a younger child
It gets a lot better in the next shows as her character begins to adjust to her new family. I think, they are actually pretty good together.
Robert: I disagree. I think she was a good addition. I liked her and everyone else on the show.
Annie was adorable. Never understood the hate directed towards her.
Ballet teacher puffing on a stogie in the gym lol
They did anything to keep their weight down.
Been binge watching these for days now. Willie is my favourite character! He's a doll. Bright, and funny!
Please get help 😢
And a man whore
@@XxowendanxX lol for sure. He’s a scumbag!
@susantulleynehus5054 there has to be a foundation or something you can donate to for fans of Willie
Their food bills must have been enormous!
Oh, to go back to 1978...
Doug seemed to be a pretty successful lawyer, so there was money. Also, none of them were fat.
@@echt114 fewer preservatives in the food…high fructose corn syrup didn’t exist then!
Kate takes a shot of booze before she goes to talk to the kid, HAHA
Nothing unusual about that. I need to need at least a slight buzz before dealing with kids
I don't drink alcohol. Not a bad idea in this situation! This kid is one tough cookie!
I always thought they were so rich with a big house. I grew up in a subdivision 3 bdr cookie cutter house. They all looked the same
This was back in the 70s when being an attorney came with a lot of money and prestige, so many people saw that, they sent their kids to law school and now there are SO many, it's no guarantee you'll make good money.
Having a guest house for a home of their size was unusual, most people, especially in california have pools if they have any extra room.
Loved Annie's spirit and directness, wouldn't have missed this show 4 noting great performances by alist actors who didn't over do it.
That was a tear jerker that littl e girl was a good actress
How could they just “forget” that they had agreed to take Annie in? Their friends’ deaths should have brought back that memory, considering they signed it.
They didn't forsee that they would need a child to keep the ratings up when they signed that
@@XxowendanxX When a show has to bring in a child, it’s doomed.
@@travisjames3517 I feel ya but the way you put it, it's as if any show that brings in a child is doomed in the ratings and it's their last gasp before going under. The Cousin Oliver Syndrome. It might be true in many or even most cases but not necessarily in every case. Family was doing well in the ratings when Annie was brought on board. I believe in this case it was merely due to the Buddy character getting older and the need for a smaller child character in order to keep the attention of the younger audience. The Family TV series did well in the ratings but it was known for being genuine in its plotlines, character development, and dialogue. It didn't have the same type of following as the Brady bunch or other shows. So I don't believe in this case that the introduction of the Annie character was a cheap ploy to keep the ratings up. I don't think people should take that generalization and apply it everywhere.
@@XxowendanxX LOL
@@travisjames3517 Yes, reminds me of the next door neighbor (Ricky?) on the Partridge Family. A feeble attempt to save the show.
I was in middle school when this show ran and I lived in a home nothing like this.
I think I got 6 Cavities 😆🤣😄😂just Watching this and gained 25lbs 😁
I used to love this show but never understood why the mother looked and acted like she was straight out of the fifties. My mom in the seventies did not wear an apron in the kitchen and always have a dress on
It is what makes me love her! A mum not ashamed to be an old fashioned hone maker, and she took such pride in her home and family. I blame the feminazi for wrecking all that. We need to turn the clock back!
This is one of the best episodes ever!
I wonder if it is Doug and Kate's goal that none of their children ever leaves home?
My guess would be NO. It just seems to happen and before you know it decades pass & suddenly we're too old to care.
@@juliajacklin5584 Maybe some built to stay on, some to leave the nest.
If they wanted to keep their TV show going they couldn't let them leave. What exactly would Kate and Doug sit around and talk about every day that would keep viewers tuning in?
Buddy is the only one among the kids who is worth a damn
@@XxowendanxX Annie is the only kid worth a damn.
Pull out the tissues.
"I'll hold you together"
Poor Annie.
That scene made me stop hating Kate
@@XxowendanxX Same thing here! Kate came across as cold blooded in earlier episodes.
I think Quinn could have shouldered the responsibility of her own series.
Don’t do it girl!! He’s a X for a reason.
Jeff always gave me the creeps.

Yes
I don't care for the actor either.
Creeps is right. 🤷♀️

Correct, don't do it.
Kate was great!🙂
Awwwwww 🤗 love this TV series , made me well up , great actors and beautiful story lines ♥️
Quinn Cummings. The Goodbye Girl.
They left me. That is what she is thinking.
I didn’t realize Oliver, I mean Annie, joined the show so early on. I thought she came in at the end. Thank you for uploading this show, I was too young to watch when it aired originally and thanks to the virus I have loads of time to catch up on these things 😁
Oliver was added to the Brady Bunch LOL
Quinn wasn't added to the cast to save a dying show; the producers were worried Kristy might leave so they wanted someone who could fill the Buddy role.
The Liquor Store delivery driver was Flounder from Animal House........
How did he and all his sick Delta buddies manage to drive to the Lawrences without drinking the case of booze?
I love watching these episodes both here & on Tubi! I grew up in the 70s & 80s in suburban Charlotte, NC watching family on WGN, WOR, & LIFETIME...(Vision-Cable) during the 80s & 90s (came of age in the 90s). It's like my childhood in so many ways, & also how I wanted my childhood to be. Kids who didn't grow up from the 80s on back really missed out on some better times in so many ways.
👍🏽💯🤗
Adore this show
Sweet
Family
Imagine offering a child coffee in this day and age🤣🤣🤣🤣
72 wonderful bottles of white wine. 🥂
How did Flounder make it to Lawrence house without drinking it all?
I had my 5th grade picture taken in the same shirt Buddy has on, 11:21. 😊
Did Buddy say you can borrow it or did you steal it from her?
The ballet instructor was Laura on Knotts Landing. Someone should ask her if the theme music sounds familiar? I swear the ending notes sound like a slowed-down version of the Knotts Theme. I hear it every time and picture Knotts Landing.
That's one loud telephone !!!
Buddy always stomps off and says ‘forget it’ whenever people don’t do what she wants. It’s so annoying.
I agree completely. I can't believe all the nonsense that poor Buddy had to put up with, living with those awful people. It's a wonder she didn't go insane because of them.
There’s a lot of guys that still live at home and their mothers still pick up after them…
Good memories. Thank you.
They're all not understanding that this little girl went from traumatic experience with traumatic experience she lost her parents then she was thrust into her aunts house which was chaotic then she realized that her own Aunt don't even want her even though she was obligated by Blood and by law to have her she don't even want her and she's going to give her suddenly to people that she don't even know. Yet they as a whole expect her to jump right in as if its normal move on and be apart of the NEW FAMILY THATS RIDICULOUS! HOW DARE THEY NOT THINK OF HER AND HER LIFE . THEY ALL ONLY THINK OF THEMSELVES EXCEPT TIMMY THATS WHY SHE LIKES HIM . TRULY PRIVILEGED AT ITS FINEST
They did the right thing. Taking all of Annie's crap was not healthy for her. The world doesn't care about your hard life or your problems. They give you back what you give out. Annie could not be allowed to develop the habit of treating people rudely, that would be a recipe for a very difficult life. Annie finally came around after Kate pushed back and started packing Annie's bags. Buddy and Willie tried to get her to come around but they did not have the magic touch that Kate had.
@@XxowendanxXAnnie was never rude to anyone. She simply preferred to be alone.
@essare188 uh she was rude to Willie and Buddy, gave attitude to Kate and overall acted as if she wanted nothing to do with the Lawrences. They tried to make her part of the family and she made it seem as if she wasn't interested.
Back in those days, there was a little awareness of the impact of trauma. Nobody thought of it back then. I was a teenager at that time and lost one of my parents, and there was no grief counseling or anything. People were just expected to carry on.
@@AGL01772 Kate and Doug needed grief counseling every time they found out Willie was still not dead
Nerts? What is nerts? Then again, my mom always said, "oh sugarfoot!" 🤣😂🤔
That's what nerts mean.😁
Oh darn.
Both of those expressions are very cute!😊 We’re desperately missing that kind of wholesomeness these days.
It is an innocuous substitute for an obscene exclamation
@@XxowendanxXIt does sound harmless, yet obscene. 😁
Genius little girl.
I want that pinto station wagon...
It is so ugly it's great. Just change the canary yellow to white or cream and hey presto!! Far better than the sardine and characterless mass produced cars of today!!
Why is no one talking to this kid about her parents. Why they were so close and memories and the connections that made them choose the lawrences.
In the episode, Kate explained to Annie the relationship between her and Doug and Annie's parents. Kate and Annie's mother met in college and were roommates. They also became best friends. And Doug and Annie's father soon became close friends as they both became Attorneys. But their friendship faded when Annie's parents moved from Pasadena to New York City when Annie was a baby.
It’s very odd.
Don't realize that her living with her art made her the way she is wasn't mother lie so she had to be self-sufficient and fear of if she wasn't that will get rid of her as her aunt did it so her lack of connection is her fear of being getting rid of but she likes him me because he's Young and she can teach him things and give him the love that she want
Thank you
How do you forget agreeing to take a child in if something happens to his/her parents? This writing can be so unbelievable. I would never forget such a promise.
I'll wager it's something you wouldn't think about often, especially if you were married with three children of your own that you were raising, a husband with a successful law practice, a grandkid AND a life. Times were different back then, people didn't live online superficial lives. Based on the info provided, the decision regarding Annie was made over a decade prior.
It's a real bore and conversation stopper when people with low self-esteem compare themselves favorably to a tv character to feel better about their own decisions. You're judging a TV character, get a life, seriously Dearie. A therapist would say you're levelling her to bring her down to your level. It's pretty pathetic.
@@SlimKeith11 Really? Insulting someone's opinion about a TV character is even more pathetic. "Times were different back then..." I LIVED back then! I know how they were dearie. You sound like someone who makes promises a lot without fulfilling them so I can see why you struggle to understand. Agreeing to take in someone else's child ON TOP OF ALL THAT would make it even MORE unforgettable, unless I made empty promises that didn't mean anything to me. Whatever has made you into such a jerk, I hope you get supportive people on your side to help you through it. Try not to take life so seriously. It's just my opinion about a fictional character in a fictional story. Try not to judge so quickly things you don't know - you don't even know me. It sounds like you are reflecting a lot of your own inadequacies onto me. Perhaps you should consider talking to someone about it. Peace.
They drank a lot
@@XxowendanxX LoL possibly :)
It does seem very unrealistic for a lawyer to forget signing a legal document that would obligate him to raise someone else's kid. That's a very very big deal placed in front of someone trained to recognize the significance of it.
I JUST SAW THE HAMBURGER HAMLET. I WORKED THERE AND I USE TO WORK THERE. AND THERE WERE OTHERS IN OTHER PARTS OF LA TOO AND YES ON SUNSET BLVD TOO RIGHT BEFORE THE MANY CLUBS, BARS AND HOTELS!! I GREW UP IN SANTA MONICA/BRENTWOOD. TECHNICALLY DIFFERENT CITY BUT, SAME COUNTY LA IS HUGE. THERE IS WEST OF THE #405 AND NORTH AND SOUTH OF THE # 10 AND THIS MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE, OR IT USED TO NOW LA IS A A THIRD WORLD CESSPOLL THANKS BLAH BLAH BLAHS.
Have they gotten lower case letters in Santa Monica yet?
Oh, nertz!
To be quite honest, I resented their bringing Annie onto the show. It's as if they were trying to give her Buddy's lines from early on in the series. Rather than give material to Nancy and Willie, they brought on this new character.
They had a very real fear that Kristy would leave the show to pursue other opportunities. They had to prepare for that possiblity and Quinn was a hot child actress at the time.
@@XxowendanxX Nailed it.
I never quite warmed to her character myself. Like a toned-down Cousin Oliver from the Brady Bunch.
I agree with you.. an unnecessary character that is awkward to include in the plots.
every movement in this show was so methodical, you weren't allowed to get upset, must remain calm at all times no matter what happens.
If that's the case then I'm going to need some of Audrey's quaaludes
