Eight is Enough pilot intro 

The show was never the same after her death...nothing against Betty Buckley (she's currently doing the national tour of the HELLO, DOLLY! revival which Bette Midler played on Broadway)

@@tomservo56954Betty Buckley was phenomenal as Abby, warm and real. An incredible actress.

Still better than ending up a Christian "celebrity", which by the 1990's is all Grant Goodeve had going for him, hosting inspirational movies on some religious channel.

What about "T" for Tommy? There were 8 kids.

u-said-what? what happened to Chris English

u-said-what? I recently bought season 1 of Eight is Enough from watch the pilot I didn't see any any problem with the original Tommy or Nancy or will David Mark Hamill we know Star Wars was fixing to come out so I read that he wanted to get out of his contract and ABC would not let him out of his contract but he got in a car accident and they had to replace him but Christopher English you don't really see much of them in the pilot so I don't see why they wanted to get rid of them and I thought he was good and Kimberly back was great is Nancy even though Dana K look more like Joan the mom on the show but I wonder whatever happened to Christopher English I know Kimberly Beck continued acting but I wonder whatever happened to him Chris English and also Kimberly back I would love to go to a convention if they were there and ask them how they felt about being replaced and I know Chris English never did another acting thing I've looked him up he never did anything after doing the pilot and I hope he's doing well the Kimberly back did continue to act so but I still don't see the reason why they need to be replaced but that's just my opinion ABC made the decision to replace them and the show went on in a course we all know that Diana Hyland that played the mom only did the TV pilot and four episodes and then she passed away so then they have to recast her The Following season with it a new character called Abby who became their step mom but I wonder if Diana would have lived but the show could have been because I thought she was beautiful nothing against Betty Buckley because I thought she was gorgeous too but I really wonder what would have happened if if Diana Hyland would have lived for the whole 5 Seasons of Eight is Enough how you know it would have went and God love her and rest her soul and Betty Buckley is still acting I know Dick Van Patten past Whaley couple years ago that I was very sad to hear that a lot of this people on the show after the show ended had some of them did some other movies and TV shows but a lot of them went and left in the show business industry so but it was a good show I remember watching it as a kid and we watched it every week that Charlie's Angels another show that I loved still do

it is on Warner archives

the whole series is on dvd. if you don't want to buy it see if your local library has a copy

To Darth Vader, during lightsaber battle: "feeling lucky, punk? Do ya?"

@jimmyk5769, Actually, no. The snow creature scene had nothing to do with the accident. George Lucas himself has confirmed this. This info is easy to look up now that we have the internet, by the way.

While it was totally generic, I enjoy seeing how much of the architectural layout and city planning from the mid-'70s hasn't really changed in 45 years. So much stuff around us now was already figured out decades ago. They just slap a fresh coat of paint on it every once in a while.

He started singing for Season 3. It ran 5 seasons. So I do not agree.
