Anyone notice in the very early episodes Olivia would often sit to John's left at the dinner table, then moved to the right? I wonder why they changed that
and the fact there wasn't enough time in the day for John to get everything done. Chop all the wood, take it to the sawmill cut it up, constantly hunt for food for the family
I loved how in the earlier episodes you would see John come in from the mill all sweaty, hair ruffled, dirty. It looked real
Later on you'd see him come in looking like he'd been sitting on the porch all day
I think I found the perfect viewing partner!
Don't forget 1st episode where Jill didn't get the job then she made fun of Tool Time and Lisa
Tim buy Detroit Pistons season tickets, BAD!, Jill decides to go to college without discussing it with Tim? GOOD!
Leaves Tim's car in snow "IT'S YOUR FAULT"
Tim stares at other woman in restaurant "TIM IS DISGUSTING", Jill flirts with officer and flirts with the granite guy...well that's normal!
ugh
The one episode that annoys me so much is the season 3 opener Maybe, Baby where it's 30 minutes of Jill talking about how much she wants a baby girl
WELL WHAT HAPPENS IF IT'S A BOY JILL!
It's hard watching the show after Will Geer passed away.
It just wasn't the same
Richard leaving, Ellen having a stroke, Will passing away, Michael leaving . So much change in what 2 seasons?
No show could survive all that
It still had it's moments but it lost that "family comfort" feeling
I always felt Mary Ellen got away with back talk more than others
How many times did we hear her say "Oh Grandma"
or in the 1st season episode where she says to John "You're too dumb to realize"
I read a interview from way back where after Richard Thomas left the show both Ralph Waite and Michael Learned thought they should have ended the show right then
no that was the second apperance
this one he shows up, JOhn Boy follow shim around, Jim Bob gets sick, they can't complete a order, the guy leaves them 22 dollars which would pay for Jim Bob's surgery surgery
My favorite moments is Olivia or Grandma going up to John because there's a issue and him acting all annoyed lol
There was a episode where Ben and Jim Bob were fighting and Elizabeth went and told John and Olivia and John say s"Good maybe we can have some peace around here" and Olivia goes"JOHN!" and John takes a deep sigh and goes "ok"
and in another episode John and John Boy are going somewhere and Grandma comes running out screaming "JOHN! JOHN!" and John says something like "Ahhh Now what" all annoyed lol
