I have never seen this series before. I was raised in a no TV environment. Now at 67 I discovered them. I love the shows warmth and the ‘back in time’ scenes. Simple, functional family!
Functional?! You oughta see the episode where Doug (the dad) takes his son (Willie) to a strip club for his 21st birthday because Willie was whining about being "lost" in deciding his life's direction. Nice, functional, father figure. Then, their daughter (Nancy) is consistently causing drama due to her need to be liked by men (sometimes any man). They let both live in their guest house for free while they were "pulling themselves together).
This was one of my favorite shows after we got married, my husband worked during the day, I was in nursing school, after he got off work he went to college for his engineering degree. The tv was my bff so many good shows in the late 70s. PS we both graduated, had 3 kids built a house and are still together, 43 years. Thanks for uploading these shows. Brings back the good old days.
loved this episode!!! had such a crush on John Friedrich the actor who played the blind student. This was a wonderful show so well acted Sada thompson was a incredible actress!
Alberta gave us Heartland, a similar family drama that I also follow. I know it's modern, but Heartland duplicates some of the same storylines, like when Amy Fleming was kicked in the head by a horse and temporarily went blind. I'm also a screenwriter, and this type of show follows a certain formula, often with little deviation. Classes on how to develop such a property are taught in film school, along with how to develop a movie franchise and how to shoot low budget horror, my particular art. For every interest there is someone to satisfy it. Thanks for keeping us working.
I like this show Family from the 70's. Kate is caring person to help this poor young guy who became blind. This is very sad episode it hard for this young guy who could see and now he became permanently blind he can't have normal life anymore and he need people to help them.
Thank you for posting this show!! I have never heard of this show until earlier this month. I love the characters’ acting, and the family values that are instilled. I wish we had more shows like this one during these times.
I enjoyed the show when it first aired but now recognize their “values” weren’t so virtuous-oldest daughter got married, pregnant and divorced by 22 and their oldest son dropped out of high school, flitting from job to job and older women.
@@DiegoRamirez-zc7fs Their values were very good. They had problems, as all people do, but they tried to deal with them with wisdom and compassion. Kate especially had an amazing sense of how counsel others when values and reason clashed with passion and circumstance.
I remember watching Family back in the day,my friend Matt had a huge crush on Kristy,Star Trek posters on one wall,and Kristy 's Teen and Tiger Beat posters on the other wall. One day he came up with a plan,we called Twentieth Century Fox Studios,after a couple of failed attempts,he said he was her Uncle from Philadelphia,they put us through to the Family set,the told us she would be on a brake in ten minutes and to call back,we did they got her on the phone,and for 3 or 4 minutes we got to talk with her, she ended with, maybe we'll meet someday,by . We were beside ourselves. The next day we went to school and told everybody that we talked with Kristy from Family, well as you can imagine, with the exception of one girl no one else believed us. We use to watch her as co-host the Mike Douglas show,we hoped that he would ask her about the strangest fan encounter she ever had,we were sure she'd say about the 2 guys that called the studio,one claiming to be her uncle from Philadelphia,alas he never ask ,and she never said 😢. I believe it was in September of 1976.
Everybody needs to watch this episode. One of my favorites. This episode reminds me of enabling in the drug addict sense of the word. Tough love at work here. Thanks for the upload.
It makes me glad to hear how many people saw the warmth and love in this family show. For me, it seems sort of down. The minor note theme music, the photos that all seem melancholy, and the mom is eternally sad. She never smiles a true smile, just seems to walk around the house looking a bit dejected but holding it together. Clearly I am in the minority in seeing it this way, but just had to put in my take on it.
This WHOLE thing is so PERFECTLY INTERTWINED IT'S DELICIOUS!! Kate won't listen. Robert can't see. Doug won't let Kate coddle him and neither will Buddy. When Kate finds Robert to coddle now Doug wants Kate to coddle Doug. Buddy is conveniently away from this mess allowing Kate to be there for Robert when he needs it and Buddy returns just in time to take Kate away from Robert when Kate is coddling Robert too much.
Thank you for allowing me to watch one of my favorite shows I grew up with in the late 1970s brings back so many memories can you see if you can please find the entire seasons one be blessed
This was a hard episode to watch. It spoke volumes to me with what I'm actually going thru with my youngest son. Very deep episode. It very much spoke volumes. Wow🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
It’s 2023 and I like this show much Real family issues Don’t always agree the way they resolve issues Much better than the garbage that is on 📺 these days Maybe I’m just getting old 😊
I share everyone’s expression(s) about being able to watch this wonderful show. I admired Kristy McNichol when I was a kid & an early teen. Looking at her I thought she had such an endearing quality about her...I thought she had such a perky perfect nose... & upon further observation I think she resembles Julia Roberts, could play sisters. Thank you so very much for posting to RUclips!!! 😊😃🤩
@@juliepeters3716 I never realized how similar those two looked, but upon reflection, I’m betting that was intentional on the film’s part. They were both the favored sons, both the products of the affairs of true love.
I would think that Doug would hate Willie because Willie is not Kate but Willie wants Doug to join in on Willie's hobbies. As it turns out Doug starts to get into Willie's hobbies and if you look at another episode where Doug reverts to his former hobby of astronomy, Willie gets into it. Willie wants to quit but then Doug's sense of it you start something you ARE GOING to FINISH IT OR thou shalt be DAMNED!!! kicks in. Now when THE PROJECT is almost completed and Doug is starting to feel a sense of accomplishment and pride and as Doug put it the best part is at hand, Doug gets pulled away by John. The timing in these pieces is exquisite.
In the 70s I was a painfully shy teenager. I used to want to be like Buddy, or Barbara and Julie from One Day At A Time, and Laura & Mary from Little House On The Prairie
What gets me is the hard shoes in the house...lol...we had to take our shoes off at the door and wear slippers in the house. This family was not my family and yet it was. I think it's the ideal. Kept together by tradition and love, but there are always problems. You overcome them or come apart.
......Thank you for uploading, any episodes are greatly appreciated! ......(Just wondering, do you have the episode, where Buddy rehearses for the school play?) ......
The one where she wants to be sexy but is advised to be "funny"? And she does a sailor routine with her dad?? I saw that episode so it's on RUclips. I don't remember the name of it though (sorry!)
Iv whatch it before on here, just saw it come up angin ,it so right you go back in time , i feel so good bit sad as well coure thing were to me better eser , conputors carry ph , now ,just love this show ,love the house , and the mother so carm ,hold,s the house to gether ,husban help buy staing buy her ,thsy both understand each ather ❤😊
If you fall off the horse, get right back on or you will think about it too much and may never ride again. Dust yourself off and jump back on , enjoy the ride!
I don’t know how to feel about Kate. Sometimes I feel like she’s glaring all the time, other times I feel like she has a lot of snide comments and sometimes like she speaks in a monotone voice. The show is “nice” but not very realistic, imo. Or maybe it’s just how my family was but my parents certainly didn’t seem to care that I was getting older or come talk to me if I had a problem or get involved in arguments with my siblings as we have gotten older. My parents stayed out of our fights and didn’t take sides.
I love her so much, she reminds me of my own mother and grandmother in so many ways. This show is so much like my own upbringing in the late 70s and the 80s. 👍🏽💯🤗
I think it has something to do with Sony and copyright laws. It's so unfortunate that RUclips is not allowed to show it or seasons 3-5 not released on dvd.

Awesome story!! 😊
This series addressed so many of life’s most challenging times in marital and family relationships! We need more of these nowadays!!
loved this episode!!! had such a crush on John Friedrich the actor who played the blind student. This was a wonderful show so well acted Sada thompson was a incredible actress!
Watching in Alberta Canada. Wish I could go back in time, I miss the values that this series reminds me of. Thank you for sharing these episodes.

I'm so glad these episodes are on RUclips. Family is my favorite series of all time and as it's never on television reruns, I depend on these videos.
The over the air channel Decades played Family, not sure if they are still running the show.
@@newtonb1426 Right. They were for a while, but no longer. Then I realized some of the episodes were on RUclips, so all is well.
Once in awhile Decades will run the whole Family series on a weekend but the problem is our area took Decades off the on air station.
My favorite TV show of all time, too, just as good as 8 is enough.
Decades is now called Catchy Comedy..and yes Fami!y is still airing but it's now on MeTv Plus...I'm still watching in 2024..
I like this show Family from the 70's. Kate is caring person to help this poor young guy who became blind. This is very sad episode it hard for this young guy who could see and now he became permanently blind he can't have normal life anymore and he need people to help them.
Kate could be very compassionate. Great episode.
Family values, issues, and sound and practical resolutions. How refreshing.
I guess it depends on one's interpretation.
Very good show that explored several life issues and taught several life lessons.
Sada is a great actress., she knows what she’s communicating.beautifully written beautifully acted.
I wish we lived during those days
I did and things really weren't that great.
This is the best episode yet. Such a great show.

Thank you so much for sharing the Family episodes, love re-watching these again! It’s much appreciated!
Late 70s and I had a ski jacket nearly identical to the one Buddy is wearing then.
...Bring back real acting like this.
👍🏽💯😋
Being blind wasn't fun. My eyesight varies and I could have been blind longer but I regained my sight.
"Good to see you". Robert's finally seeing her for the first time and she is finally "seeing" him for the first time.
I love that the older guy is knitting!
Wonderful series. Thank you!
This was a hard episode to watch. It spoke volumes to me with what I'm actually going thru with my youngest son. Very deep episode. It very much spoke volumes. Wow🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Wonderful! Thank you very much!
Love these. Missed this one. Great episode.
Thanks for the upload! Keep 'em coming!
Thank you for these videos!!
Ironically, the man who played John Kreeger really went blind in the eighties. He continued to do tv roles.
The dude who plays Alex played a motel manager in Any Which Way You Can. He liked to peep into the motel windows when couples were on the go.
Looks like our style freezer in bottom of fridge as most new ones have now and this show is 76 or 77
This was a great episode! Again, I cant thank you enough 👍 but THANKS!
Either they skip breakfast or leave early....every episode. They never finished eating
😅😅😅😅😅 so true
Exactly! And the tall glass of milk never gets touched
if i c🍳🥘ked it 'n' they Didn't eat it ,Guess wAt Lunch or After 🏫 Snack would 🐝🌻🌷🌼🌹🌿🌸🌷🌺🏵⚘
Wow.... Kate's speech was intense!
Kate giving him his own medicine and reciting the multiplication tables! Brilliant!
She's the greatest
70’s and early 80’s are good for television…
It’s 2023 and I like this show much
Real family issues
Don’t always agree the way they resolve issues
Much better than the garbage that is on 📺 these days
Maybe I’m just getting old
😊
Reads to the blind, then says *see you later~ comical
I did not realize how energy consuming it is that when one sense is gone the others have double duty.
I share everyone’s expression(s) about being able to watch this wonderful show.
I admired Kristy McNichol when I was a kid & an early teen. Looking at her I thought she had such an endearing quality about her...I thought she had such a perky perfect nose... & upon further observation I think she resembles Julia Roberts, could play sisters.
Thank you so very much for posting to RUclips!!! 😊😃🤩
Yes they sure love coffee on this show LOL
Sada Thompson was a beautiful looking woman.
So are you, Happy Thanksgiving
I love Kate
I was really hoping to see Buddy & TJ together!
It's weird how we never see them together except for brief conversations at school.
They did like their "drinks".
Thanks so much!
Young blind fellow was Frank Cleary in The Thornbirds.
I recognized his voice the minute he spoke - but I thought he was Dane O’Neill! I get those two confused for some reason.
@@cici2562 Me too, I thought he was Dane, but then I looked up the actor on google and saw he played the part of Frank.

They must of bought that contraption from IKEA.
Must HAVE
In the 70s I was a painfully shy teenager. I used to want to be like Buddy, or Barbara and Julie from One Day At A Time, and Laura & Mary from Little House On The Prairie
Why does Kristy pouty pants McNichol always have that " you just stole my ego look on her face?"
She's very passionate!
I hadn’t noticed!
Please post more episodes of this show
Thank goodness the blind kid doesn't know he's riding in a Pinto!
every 70s home came with a fern
Stay home for 7pm dinner but then "Sorry Mom I have a date" 😅
Love this show

The 70s....the best.
Doug sure forgot fast what its like to be blind
No one is going to miss Buddy on the ski slopes!
Kate will! And so will I!
@@XxowendanxX My Bad! I was referring to Buddy's colorful ski jacket, etc. With all that color, no one is going to miss her out on the ski slopes. :)
I wore bright yellow and navy when I skied, can't believe I just turned 60. Happy Thanksgiving
When he said United Parcel! Ha! UPS!
If he would've said Amazon I'd have jumped out a window
Kate doesn’t answer as Robert comes out the door… she makes him sweat.
37:32 Excellent speech by Kate.
Willie eating....lol

Kate looks a little like Shirley Temple
On a different episode, I said that to myself. She does resemble her a little.
People like to drink and eat in this household lol 😂
What a coincidence or maybe not that later in his life Dana elcar went blind
If you fall off the horse, get right back on or you will think about it too much and may never ride again.
Dust yourself off and jump back on , enjoy the ride!
The usage of the words "imagine": if you can't see with your eyes then see with your mind.
If u have more please download then. It would be wonderful.
Do

Have all seasons or
Can you upload
More episodes please I
Willing to pay ...

Buddy was a little horn dog
Where is Nancy?
Screwing half the guys in the law firm
