Yes I heard that too. And “Joey being a woman is an art. You can find joy in serving your man”. Something long lost on today’s society. Women should care for their husbands and children and men should honor and love their wives. It is the natural way, the way we are designed. I do not believe that men should dominate women in any way or treat them badly by any means. But I think that both men and women have things that they have a natural disposition towards, natural strengths and weaknesses. That is the reason there have always been “traditional roles”. Because people have always understood this and gravitated towards what they are naturally better at. Today’s society wants to tell everyone that they are all the same and everyone can do all things equally and deserves equal reward for everything. It’s just simply not true. But that doesn’t mean some women can’t be good at things that men normally do and some men can’t be good and things women normally do. They don’t push for equal opportunity, which is totally fine, they push for equal outcome, which is not fine. Started with participation trophies, now here we are
Jodie Foster is so cool this amazing women donated a swimming pool for the retired industry people that live at the cottages at one of motion pictures hospitals. You never hear anything bad about her and she grew up in the industry. God bless her and I wish the best for her always, a great person!
I loved this show when I was a kid Bill BIXBY was a great actor & a great dad to Eddie. R.I.P BILL BIXBY YOUR ALWAYS BE MISSED & NEVER FORGOTTEN. What a great actor he's so kind & caring.
That mean Joey kept hitting and kicked Eddie but when he hit her back she started crying. Why did Eddie apologize to Joey for hitting her but she didnt apologize to him for attacking and bullying him?
@@melsmith2669 - Ever hear of equal rights (and lefts)?😄😄😄 But seriously, I loved this show too! And watching this, I can't get over how young they were.
Sorry about the 2 typos on Innocents & Patients i.e. (innocence & patience). I also meant to say "lulling the viewer into the desired state of Protected (through rationality) & Comfort (through tonality of voices & inconsequentiality of a child's problem, as compared to us grown-ups-bills & world conflict). Finally, the end was supposed to be "what would have been considered a throw-away piece".
@@christophersmith3005 - Our society took several steps backwards in the wrong direction. A society now where men think they're women and women think they're men. So sad..
Unfortunately that wouldn't fly today. What would fly though....two gay dads, with weird blistering bumps on their lips, and a 7 yr old transgender kid.
Great writing! Social Commentary, while entertaining. Velvet voices, genius comedic tension & delivery--delivered by archetype roles-both the innocents of children & wisdom & patients of the lead characters(Bixby/Umeki), lulling the viewer into the desired state of receiving this type of experience. Much deeper than the package/setting/time would indicate. As suggested, it also educates the viewership to proper behavior, that of maturity when faced with everyday problems, and in this instance, culture & the reaction to it, while lifting it. Not bad coming from a throw-away society.
There was a part where Eddie says he ran into the bathroom when being chased by Joey at school and his father is trying to figure out how that could help. It could have even been in another episode. I think Joey was in more than one episode.
Soy fan de jodie Foster 🤍 llegué a este video para verla actuar cuando era niña, es una excelente actriz y tan hermosa desde que era esa pequeñita y encantadora niña 🤍🤍😘
translation: "I am a fan of Jodie Foster. I came to this video to see her act as a child, she is an excellent actress and so beautiful since she was that lovely little girl.
My wife saw this and punched me in the arm. I said why you do that for. She said to remind me not to even think about being a male chauvinist pig. I had to laugh.🥳😂
ok I remember loving this show....45 yrs ago......not really loving the misogyny buffet now ....I have 3 daughters...one out of college 2 in soph yr ......"serving the man" ? UM hell no ..double, triple quadruple NO
Jodie Foster had a genius intelligence and was a smart-mouthed tomboy in all her roles. I love all her movies. Nowadays, they would tell her she was a transgender bully who was in the wrong body, as if all violent bullies were boys.
I watched that show back in the day as I was about the age of Eddie when it aired. Like every other show at the time, the sexism was built in. If a girl had too much spunk, it had to be softened, lessened, tamed, and she had to be "put in her place". We are still fighting that archetype/trope. I wish women, themselves, wouldn't so readily accept and pass on this less-than status.
Subservience has nothing to do with "The Me Too" movement I think you are confusing it with the "Women's Liberation Movement" two totally different things.
I remember watching this in 1969 when I was a 12 year old girl, and feeling awfully indignant about how sexist this was. Being forced into a subservient role is demeaning.
Dissing 70s acting based on The Courtship of Eddie’s Father? Jeezus. Jodie did everything from cheesy ABC prime time to Scorsese before she was 13. Sad script and concept, sure. But don’t come down on the actors.
I can imagine the bile rising in the gorges of modern women who have come to regard the “traditional” roles of women in family and society as nothing less than indentured servitude. These same women think nothing of expecting the man to “pick up the tab” on a date, defer to them, hold doors open for them, pay the bills, repair whatever is broken around the house, protect them from bad people and all the other traditional male chores and tasks, but completely eschew any of the drudgery that goes along with being a woman. So, the question must be asked: “What exactly, are you bringing to the relationship?” These women are now learning, once you hit your 30s, you have nothing extraordinary to offer. Your “value” evaporates as your face ages and your ass spreads. Go ahead - get mad at me for telling you facts and truth.
I knew then, (I was 4), that this “girl” was not at all like me, didn’t know what “it” was at the time, but I just knew and I followed her career and always “knew”. I love her, but we’re different kinda girls.🥲
