I'm a Gen-x'er who loved this show and I remember being so shocked to learn that the actresses that played Laura and Nellie Olsen were and are close friends in real life! |
It's like the actor who played Draco on Harry Potter is the nicest guy. Or the same with the actor who played Joffrey on GoT. |
The Cosby Show and Family Ties were wholesome shows that depicted various teachable moments with good parenting from a dual income household. |
You can watch most of those shows on YouTube...just watched Who's the Boss |
But the actress was nice! |
I wish they didn't cancel the Cosby show to punish Bill Cosby. The Cosby Show (and A Different World) were amazing, positive, entertaining shows that practically raised a generation of kids. I was reading an article about one of the supporting actors who lost a big source of income when the show was canceled. All of the actors, not just Bill Cosby, lost their residuals. It was a steady stream of income for them, and it all disappeared when hollywood cancelled Bill Cosby. I hope the show eventually returns to TV. |
Not a fan. |

We bought "The Waltons on DVD and are watching them weekly with our 5th grader and 3rd grader. We visited Schuyler VA last summer to put it into geographic context. Also bought the 1970s version of "All Creatures Great & Small and use it also as family viewing.

Thanks for the correction. At first I thought you were referring to the town strumpet on “Gunsmoke.” |
