"Family" being released on DVD!

Finally, after decades of waiting, the first and second season are
being released in September. This is the Aaron Spelling series wih
Kristy McNicol, Willie Aames, Meredith Baxter Birney, Sada Thompson,
etc. Yay!

GarondoMarondo...

UGH!

..
Garondo Marondo!

Donna B...

Wow, one of the real classics from then. About time.

Chris...

Yep, I really can't believe this show has been so totally forgotten.
It was quality tv. And it tackled controversial issues which back
then were still pretty taboo during prime time with tact and dignity.
And Sada Thompson is great.

Patty Winter (patty1...

Hey, you forgot John Rubenstein!

Chris...

Well, that's what the etc. is for. ;-)

Patty Winter (patty1...

Well, okay, we'll let you off the hook this time. :-) But he's
worth more than an "etc."!

He played Meredith Baxter's ex-husband, was it?

Patty Winter (patty1...

Yeah...or soon to be ex. I don't remember exactly.

Uniblab...

They were still married at the very beginning. In the first episode, Nancy
(at the time played by a brunette actress, later replaced by Meredith Baxter

Anim8rFSK...

later replaced by Meredith Baxter

Birney) walked in on her husband when he was with another woman..

Anim8rFSK...

Huh. I thought she walked in on Buddy with another woman. :-)

Is any cable station rerunning this series?

Chris...

I've never heard of it being rerun on any station. And I've been
looking out for it for years. Don't know why it's been so forgotten.
If nothing else, Kristy McNichol had a huge fan base in her time.

Jude Cormier...

Years ago, Nostalgia (now known as AmericanLife) did air reruns.
And it was syndicated to broadcast stations in the mid '80s.

Chris...

Ah, too bad I missed it.

Jude Cormier...

you think something like this would be on SoapNet or heck even the TBS of a
few years ago (before it decided to refocus on "comedy").

Jude Cormier...

at the present time, no.

Pidge...

Enough about Family, what about James at 15 and at 16? LOL
