For me too!! ❤

@@Alwayshopeful100 💞

I too gave wonderful memories of watching this show with my grandparents. One of my favorite TV shows. So real, and such important life topics!!

Simpler. I’d go back in a moment - especially if I knew all that know now.

@@Person-mh6xq So much agree!

Agreed!!! I truly miss the 70s as well. I wish I could re-live my childhood all over again. AWESOME CHILDHOOD MEMORIES❤❤❤❤❤

I missed it too

Peaceful somewhat yes

In someways I think we are more private now. But yes you did have life in front of you and you lived it head on. You knew your neighbors and many became your friends. Not the same now. We do not need them to feel connected. Creativity in music and television is not existing now like it was in those pre tech decades. At least I grew up experiencing all that back then though.

And ironically it took technology to rewatch these old shows. Binged these on my cell phone

Not if you lived in the Lawrence household

Yeah, so imagine my surprise when in one of the episodes I found out that the dad cheated on the mom

@@Monamika84 and in this episode shes looking up her old flame

At least it's realistic enough to show that no family is perfect.

Leslie, it’s a fictional show!!

@@karenryan6654 Karen, good accurate point

I guess that’s why so many people are watching it on here.

@@pathough2100. I Love Retro!

I feel the same way as you do..............

I feel for you! Lost the first one of my three siblings this year.

I have never seen this show either. I wish i had.

About all the episodes are this good.

That's for sure... so much crap nowadays 😉

I would rather watch Family anyday. I do not know t I get Decades in Virginia. This is a great show.

Yes, they also don’t portray a sports coach calling a teen he is coaching “cutie “. It’s incredibly inappropriate. I used to watch this show too and I’d wonder how Kristy McNichol could always speak her mind in a way that most teenagers couldn’t.

@@susanflanagan8010 yea back then people didn’t make a big deal like today. Today he’s be arrested lol that’s why 70s so great

@@rodneysexton1034 What are you talking about? Fake news media? We’re talking about a 1970s tv show. Geez.

The 70s...when some people still had real families...

The 70s...when some people still had real families...

​@@michelewuensch8468Unfortunately by the time I was in high school in the early 80s most of the kids had step parents and step siblings.

unless you were black,gay, or anything different, in that case we are happy for today in comparison.

@@user-jv8ht9wg9r This program included all types of races as well as the gay communities. They were cancelled b cause the chosen topics were too deep and provoking.

I was thinking the very same thing.. I was born in 70 n went thru the 70s,80s,90s & when 2000 came along we all thought the world was going to end lol 😆since then I've watched the world get more crazy... every year! I wanna be a kid again in the 70s

@@AmyLee-oe1jr Hmm. I think the crazy gradually started around 2013 or so and accelerated into lunatic land around 2016.

Social issues are not new. They've been around since the beginning of humanity. If you were a kid in the 70s, then you were simply unaware of the issues of the day, but they existed then as they do now. We just have access to more information and weapons and yet we are still struggling with equality to name one issue

@@AmyLee-oe1jr It was a great time to be a kid or a teen. Fun times

Agreed!!!! I wish a time machine existed so I could re-live it all over again. I truly miss the 70s. Nothing but wonderful times. AWESOME CHILDHOOD MEMORIES ❤❤❤

It was all fake.

@@JamesRichards-mj9kwyes he admitted it was never him singing at all.

I love her too. Had a crush on her back in the day

Dada Thompson was very protective of Kristy on the set of Family.😀

When rainbows were not associated with a political activist group

@@fajrsahar157 💯

Absolutely.

I think that’s why so many of us love this show. We can dream that we had a good nurturing family while growing up.

I had poster of Kate Sada Thompson on my wall. No kidding. Really loved this woman back in the day

My crush was Clark Brandon.

You were so lucky! I lived in a small town on the other side of the country. I would have died to live in Ca anywhere near the Family house. My entire growing up years I begged my parents to move to Ca. I remember "Three for the Road", watching it and reading about it in Tiger Beat magazine. When my sister and I would play with our Barbies, I would pretend mine was dating Vince Van Patten and hers would be dating Leif Garrett. She was younger so I let her have Leif, lol, but I loved him, too.

I remember Apples Way

😊 oh my gosh I remember 3 for the road! I had tiger beat pics of Leif Garrett along with Robby Benson and John Travolta on my bedroom walls. I shared these with Leif Garrett with my 25 year old daughter who now understands my Leif Garrett crush lol

I thought Leif Garret hung the stars and the moon!!! He was such a gorgeous lil dude back in the day!

Those were the days

I know. Feels good to see this kinda show again.

Yes they look good together! Kristy mcnochol is sooo beautiful and leif Garrett is so handsome. Hope they got married in real life! Their children should be handsome and pretty too!

@@marilyndelacruz463 she is a lesbian, married to a woman.

@@lindah5011 Rumor Leif Garrett knocked her up and they ended up at PLANNED PARENTHOOD in Burbank!!

@@jessem7556 Leif ended up having a lot of problems as he got older sadly.

@@marilyndelacruz463 They were a real life teen couple (maybe just for the teen mags!) Eventually they grew up and lead very different lives.

A remake would be nice or even a prequel.

I like to Kristy mckñichol and Nancy McKeon together

We had several great family television shows as a teenager in school. "SNL" - Saturday Night Live, Happy Days - this show ran 10 years, the Walton's, MASH, Eight is Enough, Happy Days, Beverly Hillbillies, Laverne & Shirley, Great Video Musicals, "All in the Family", the Jeffersons, Sanford & Son, the Brady Bunch, The Partridge Family, Little House on the Prairie, The Dukes of Hazzard, "DALLAS", The Love Boat, Three's Company - RIP John Ritter, "Good Times", and there are just too many more for me to sit down and list. I know I have missed several other great shows from the 60s, the 70s, and the 80s! Those were the days! We didn't have Video games, Cell Phones, and all the other electronics we have today. Some Days I wonder if this is the reason we have so much crime today with our teenagers. When Dark Thirty came around, the Sun was just about gone, you had no choice but to go home and get ready for your next day at school. We also had a lot of Outdoor Sports during these same years. Sadly, when my kids went through school, they could NOT even tell me the days they were playing, NOR could they tell me who was on the teams of all the sports. BASEBALL was the big sports for my kids. I think the reason for this is "Ben McDonald" was a neighbor who lived about a mile down the road from us. We lived in the country. We had Farms, no subdivisions. I have to say "Big Ben" kept Baseball alive in our small country community, and still does. Over the years we had other athletes who went on to various PRO Sports Teams. We knew them, but Ben was the man. Well it was BIG Ben, then SHAQ, and then "JOE BURROUGH", "SHAQ" was the other GREAT star who came from LSU. "Big Ben" was first, then just a few short years the SHAQ name was all over the place. SHAQ was a BIG Teddy Bear who love to play around, and still does. SHAQ still comes around, and he loves watching the LSU Sports Teams play. It's great seeing SHAQ walk around. You always knew it was SHAQ as he usually had his LSU Shirts or Jerseys on. Plus he was a good 1.5' ft to 2.0' ft taller than everyone else. LOL We love them all, and we love all of them supporting our future Pro's! Thanks Guy's!

Yes, yes, yes. An open future again. Would love that so.

Me too

Same here. I hope your health condition improves.

Thank you for posting.

Hope you get healed!!!🙏

I am really enjoying watching these episodes. A Tuesday morning and I'm hooked for the day. Wholesome shows to bring back really good memories!💗

It wasn't believable that she would continue to be interested in HIM- he was not appealing- immature, controlling, didn't like him and Buddy sensed these things about him.

@@debra13 She looked like a man.

Well I think in real life that would never happen . Buddy looked like a lesbian.

@@MsAb-cp9lk lol True

Hahaha the 40 yo little sister. I love her but that's the best description of her.

What about HIM! He's the adult working with youths.

​@@MeMe-mt6xvThank you!! Not one comment about the inappropriate relationship they were having. He, as the adult, should have never let it happen... Leif deserved better! 😂

If it didn't involve Nancy then Nancy wasn't interested.😂

@patriciatardugno4463 I was in HS in the early to mid 70’s. There were no rules in place about teachers being involved with students. 2 of my HS teachers, one male, one female, were involved with students (only 2 of which we were aware). When the administrators became aware, they moved those teachers to the Jr High schools. In Jr High I had a typing teacher who was Italian, wore tight, low cut tops with tight mini skirts. So many boys took her class. I remember she always sat on her or a student’s desk with her legs crossed and swinging her leg🙄. Things are now different. I don’t think parents ever gave a thought to the fact there may be/were inappropriate relationships between adults and children back then. But, when it was found out, nobody was ever arrested/held accountable.

That is awesome

hahaha ... thought so too yesterday ... if it wouldnt be FAR too much work I d edit all the "standing up from kitchen table" scenes to one stream ... might be 1 hour of standing up with 1 ton of left overs on the plates ;-)

@@color-head1696 - yeah, these upper middle-class families are so wasteful...

sküll düggery yea I noticed that too. Wasteful as hell.

And mom was always left to clean up...not one of them even took a cup or plate from the table! Willie lives in their guest house, but mooches meals and then takes off...not terribly responsible adult offspring!

LOL!

I thought the same thing! Was she going to spend all day in those sweaty clothes?

Maybe she was running to swim practice? Yes I agree it still makes no sense

Douchequeef has her max out on her first set. What kind of trainer is he?

Not the same thing

She wasn't gorgeous, but she was cute and definitely had a sweet and caring personality which is why she would have been popular.

Didn't his character try to have sex with Buddy. Not a great guy.

He dumped her...

No I think she is really cute and quite charismatic

Hope you haven't seen him lately. It could be a disappointment. Keep these old images of him in your mind.

Made me LAUGH! More than Jason Oconner

I know. Michael J. Fox is older than Kristy McNichol and he played Meredith Baxter's son.

“Family” was in syndication during the early days of cable.

First girl crush! Kristy McNichol!!!

My only boy crush and probably for that reason. He looked like a girl. lol

SAME!

"Gods"? LOLOLOL!

@Ricci Hardow Kristy was but buddy was into guys

@Lydia Ferrer Fiction is so unfair. 👍🏽🤭

@@XxowendanxX In a sexual way

@@BigGiantMonster I think Buddy was about 17 in this episode, and Jason was a grown man, say in his early 20s. I get the fact that he could get in trouble if they had sexual relations. But is it a big deal with the law if they kissed and made out and no one really got undressed and no one's private areas were touched?

@@XxowendanxX At the very least, he'd never coach again

@@BigGiantMonster well, if Jason did try to pursue a relationship with buddy, he'd have to explain look, we need to keep this on the DL. I can get in deep doodoo if the wrong people find out that we are boyfriend and girlfriend. Whether or not buddy would've been able to keep quiet about it, I don't know. And if it ended badly she could do a revenge type thing and tell everyone. It would be very dangerous. If he wanted to date her bad enough he could say look we're really good friends but I'm not going kiss you or touch you. If we're still good friends when you turn 18 and if I'm no longer coaching you then game on. It might even be better that way being platonic friends for the better part of a year to see if it's real feelings or just a teenage girl crush.

@James Henderson I agree, I find her to be totally gorgeous!

Good for you! Yeah she truly is a terrific actress. It really is great to hear how Kristy McNichol influenced and inspired others and she really did prove that in "Little Darlings." Don't know what it is, but as a male I always admired, respected and was always attracted to the cute, tough tomboy girls. Thanks for your comment and I'm so sorry for admitting that! 😉

@@butchmccain1771 I was a cute,tough,tomboy,and that's how I related.I wore a lot of suits not skirts,and overalls,Levi's back then I wish she would write a memoir it would be a best seller.She had a rough time during Empty Nest

@@lisaperry5999 From your accomplishments it's seems like you still are a cute, tough tomboy at heart. Oh YES I always did find it attractive, appealing and sexy seeing girls in denim Levi's just like Kristy in "Little Darlings" with her streetwise outfit in that denim jacket, jeans and oh those very painful black high-top Converse sneakers when she kicked that guy in the nuts in the opening scene. Anyway I totally agree - I think Kristy McNichol had a bit of a troubled childhood unknown to her at the time and she was also struggling with depression and her sexual identity. Yeah it would be very interesting if she did come out with a memoir about her life. Thank You Lisa!

Buddy should have kicked JOC in the balls
