i've never seen this, i am watching and hoarding away all the series like a squirrel so i can rewatch them over and over again, they fill my days with warmth and delight. one of my most favourite shows as a child and brought to us again courtesy of your wonderful channel, blessings to you.
I agree 100 percent with you. I grew up on this show and loved it. They don't m and shows this good anymore in 2023. Anyways I am rewatchingbthem with my son and daughter. My children love it now too. It's a nice show t o.leav e for my son and daughter to watch with their spouse and children. A legacy of a loving show to leave for my family and generations to come.
Me to where I live they are showing a whole weekend of this show, from Saturday jan.2023 on decades on missed a couple of episodes and remember everyone of them. I feel like I am back in the 70's and in my 20's.
I’m watching these episodes again after so long & it’s a delight. A well-crafted family program. I think it’s so much more impressive given the poor TV and movies nowadays. The family dynamic, the easy dialogue and excellent acting of Sada and Broderick really anchored the whole program, didn’t it?
Did you notice how she left her car window down that's exactly how it was back then and your possessions would still be there..it's sad what this world has turned into..it's downright scary and a shame
Thought that was her...remember her from Remington Steel, altho that was another tv show I didn’t watch like Family but now enjoy catching up on what I missed.
The ballerina was the only chick Willie ever got who wasn't desperate, a nut job or had something else unusual going on. Worst thing you can say about Josie is that she was half nuts from overwork.
Heavy coats and wool hats on the passesby in the early scene... I've said it on other episodes, this was the most overly clothed series ever!! They were in Pasadena for heaven's sake!!!
I can speak from experience that it gets very cold there in December and January. I decorated Rose Parade floats and it was bitter cold. Hands would get numb after awhile.
@@echt114 No. Remember what Kate, Willy's own mother said. "He's my son and I love him but he's not worth what you're giving up (ballet)." Willie feels he's beneath the ballerina. It's his ego. You see this same jealousy trait in Kate in this episode and in another episode where Kate's friend tries to make Buddy a star in a play and tells Kate off, saying Kate is jealous that Buddy would be a star when Kate couldn't be one. One MAJOR moral of this episode that is sublime is that to keep a family together, to make a relationship work with this family nobody is allowed to be exceptional. Everybody has to be average. You also see that in another episode where Buddy hated a school football hero, claiming he was stuck up. When the football hero was diagnosed with cancer and was losing his scholarship and future and life THEN Buddy was consumed with him. If Willie truly loved the ballerina he would have stayed with her. Willie couldn't stick to any commitment. He dropped out of high school. He keeps changing jobs. You and the ballerina's boss are saying the ballerina can have no boyfriend and no outside fun EVER for her to keep her job as a ballerina. If not the dancing Willie would have found another reason to dump the ballerina. Kate would have continued to snub the ballerina too. Willie was engaged to someone else and he dumped her right before the wedding. Willie is full of turbulence, ballet or not.
@@priscillasalzberg5349 I appreciate your taking the time for analysis. Though fiction, most of us have seen these themes at least near our own lives. But Kate didn't state that, she asked her, "do you really think he can take the place of....." Later she asked Willie, "How could you have let her make such a drastic change in her life when you've known her such a short time?" Willie let this nag at him a while and it got to him while he was watching her perform "Willie feels beneath..." ?? That's your projection. Like usual, Willie needed time to weigh the impermanence of his current emotions. I think their relationship was too sudden and new for Willie (or her) to know that they should/could be a long term thing. Willie does have a history of being impulsive and a bit resentful of anyone who tries to argue against the impulse, but he's a learner and most important has a foundation of empathy and caring. The whole family does, and I think that's what makes them appealing. What you apparently see as a negative makes me respect the Lawrence ethic even more. People who worship outliers and see their (or usualy the dominant culture's) version of success as an excuse to push others aside, usually just prove to be human garbage worth avoiding if you're looking out for your long term happiness and stability.
@@echt114 VERY well said, thank you! This person leaves the most negative comments, some even bordering on deranged. YOU defended our favorite TV Family better than I could have, lol!
doug looking at pictures of bodybuilders while he's using that ridiculous contraption with the pulleys; as if that thing is gonna put muscle on him. i had a version of that when i was a kid and it did absolutely nothing...lol.
@@XxowendanxX - no, it was similar to what doug was using. it was blue and white plasti-coated ropes and you'd attach it to a door handle. looking back, it may have been okay as a cardio thing but certainly not as a muscle developer. i know the thing you mean. i think it was supposed to build your chest.
Pinto as you all see is the cars used in this program. ergo, their sponsor, Freddy Krueger aka Robert England is the ballerina trainer or ALVIN. ABC was an ok network. Family had amazing guest stars. PINTO was a crazy popular selling car then, why? gasoline was getting costly then those land yachts were costly! the time were a time of transition. from big cars to smaller cars!
Gary Frank and Stephanie Zimbalist teamed back up in the '90s to star as husband and wife in a truth based TV movie about male guards in a women's prison engaging in a sex ring.

Good wholesome entertainment. One of the best shows of the era.
...You're so right. 😊👍🏽
i loved this tv show when it was on and now i am 62 and so glad that you have put them on here. that way i can relive them all. good job
Me to where I live they are showing a whole weekend of this show, from Saturday jan.2023 on decades on missed a couple of episodes and remember everyone of them. I feel like I am back in the 70's and in my 20's.
So many guest stars on this show have moved on to have wonderful careers. This show was a star-maker!
The ballet instructor was played by Rene Auberjonois, who later played on Benson and died this past December.
Rene played Father mulchahy in MASH, the movie. Then 30 years later, he again played a warrior man of the cloth in The Patriot, alongside Mel Gibson.
Celine Dion's husband?

"No one will ever kick sand in your face". Lol😅. I remember that sketched ad for muscle building often in teen magazines.
Did you notice how she left her car window down that's exactly how it was back then and your possessions would still be there..it's sad what this world has turned into..it's downright scary and a shame
Love Stephanie Zimbalist. Yay!
...I remember her from Remington Steele and the mini-series The Best Place To Be.
So pretty
Me too

I am Really enjoying these episodes, LOL Thanks So much for sharing.
Thank goodness for today's dash cams. That woman was nasty and arrogant.
She learned it from her Nazi dance jailer
Smashing up his beautiful Mustang with that orange thing.....🤔
A Pinto, no less!
R.I.P. Rene Auberjonios
I really miss the Decades network that used to bring us good tv like this show.
Remington Steele ! I was always confused by the show as a child because I was so young but I remember her from it
Stephanie Zimbalist was also in the great made-for-TV movie "The Babysitter" with Quinn Cummings, William Shatner and Patty Duke.
I am THANKFUL for your classy TV.

That was the worst looking milkshake I’ve ever seen. Looked like chocolate milk to me.
Damn if Buddy wasn't cuter than hell here that's why the 5th and final season was my favorite I wish it could've continued for another few seasons.
Family Ties had an episode where Alex (Michael J Fox) has a ballerina girlfriend! She goes off to Paris and leaves him.
so guys really love it when a girl steals their parking space and damage their car and have little time or respect for them???
Thank you! Why on earth would you ask out a person who was so rude and self absorbed.
Willy is like so many men. He interrupts something so important to you to ruin your chance at a once in a lifetime then later he dumps you.
@priscillasalzberg5349: He didn't dump her. He let her go so she could do what she really loved.

The Bullworker?
@@XxowendanxX - no, i think it was a weider product.
@@skullduggery3377 the metal coil thingy? That looks like a Slinky with a handle on each end?

The problem with Pintos is that if you hit them from behind, they’d explode.
Alvin was played by Rene Auberjonois, not Robert Englund.
Dear Xanthas,
Could you post these impossible to find episodes:
Echoes of Love
From Russia with love
Thanks!!!
Echoes of Love is blocked on UA-cam by Sony. From Russia With Love seems to be a lost episode.
Give the waiter a 20 Willy ..🤣
Willie should have immediately called the police and her charged with hit and run. But we know Willie always lets his little head do the thinking.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Gary Frank and Stephanie Zimbalist teamed back up in the '90s to star as husband and wife in a truth based TV movie about male guards in a women's prison engaging in a sex ring.
Laura Holt before she became Laura Holt.
Efraim Zimbalist Jr was a really gifted Musician and Actor. His daughter not so much.
Love this show😍
She's cute as heck 😍
Hi how many episodes are you missing?
I always wanted a meet cute with a woman who drove a Pinto.
😂 thanks for that!
