Family - Comings and Goings 

Sada Thompson looked beautiful in that red dress and with red lipstick. A wonderful color for her. I prefer her hair the way it is in these earlier episodes - it’s longer and fuller than in later seasons.

Thank you for putting these family shows on here I loved that show still do

Willie has no job, no income, lives at home and is in his twenties. Nothing's changed in 40 years

One major problem: Selina is a self-reliant, independent person; and Willie is a mama's boy who is reliant on his family for all his needs. As soon as Willie mentions leaving his parents home and getting his own place with Selena, Doug and Kate start going apeshit! They are practically holding him down in the chair. Why is it that whenever one of the Lawrence kids try to leave home , Kate and Doug try their hardest to make the kid feel like he or she can't make it out there?

Selena luv her..but when she played Terry on Starsky and Hutch as starskys girlfriend and dies. So sad but she did an amazing job on that character sooo good❤

Having not seen this series since original broadcast, it can now be recognized as ably dramatising the then emerging "Child Worship Cult" . In 1976 all the Lawrence offspring are soft, spoiled, pampered and indulged. 50 years later their grandchildren need safe spaces and are traumatized by an opposing opinion. We've lost a lot of ground.

Season Hubley! So gorgeous with her feathered hair! I loved the Selena McGee character and wish she was a more permanent one on here! Willie shoulda married her instead of endlessly tryin to get tail in almost every episode 😉

I think Buddy is the most mature of the three children lol

Lived through the 70's . The point of moving in together without the benefit of marriage was still a point of contention between generations. People may have been coy to dialogue about it on TV but all mixed sexes in a household were still married and might even have still used twin beds .The first mixed roommate situation comedies have yet to arrive but were on the horizon.if I am not mistaken.

Silvia leaves with all her clothes. Is very proper and uppity, and yet, after being at their house a few days, she leaves wearing the same clothes she showed up in

Great series. But casually drinking hard liquor when problems are there, is making light of alcoholism
