Chester Lane, I agree. I grew up watching “One Day at a Time” I was five when the show debuted, December 16, 1975 [I looked up the date on Internet Movie Database (IMDb).]. I loved the show.
I loved Richard Masur on the show. I remember, even as a 10 year old watching this when it first aired in the 70’s, missing the character of David when he left the show. He was so sweet as funny.
Love the way they talked about the characters' feelings & situations in the first person. For awhile in their lives, they "were" those characters. That's why they were so believable and loved.
Glad too see you guys back together. This show was the best! And the four of you still have that magical ✨️ spirit and presence as you did during the show. Even though I was born in the late 80s. The 70s were so great.
Yes, and her movie (mostly Lifetime movies) that she was in. Sh was on celebrity Rehab, and she made it through, and I could not be prouder for her. We fight the disease and then work on a cure. ❤😊
Like every young boy at the time, I was in love with Valerie. The only reason I watched it. I was devastated when she married that rock n roll star. Loved this show
I always liked Mackenzie’s character, Julie. She was a fighter. Barbara the beauty. The show wasn’t the same when Mackenzie got fired. I’m surprised Mackenzie Phillips hasn’t gone on to do more shows or movies. She was also great in Orange is the New Black too.
This! Me with my dad! 😂 you tell me to be independent & then you told me not to be independent! 😂 & yes was watching this with my dad his childhood show! How Bonnie Franklin was talking about how this made them become a popular tv show! 😄
Saw an interview with Valerie in the mid-80's on Letterman with EvH. She was, at that time, still trying to be so hip and rock-and-roll. But here (and in other things since) she's just normal Valerie. She looks more comfortable in her skin.
Bonnie Franklin was a first class ham. She deserved an overacting award. The guy who played Schneider pretty much sounded like Bonnie Franklin was a pain in the a$$.
I appreciate the story lines of realistic family shows, not the fake problems the Brady Bunch. Everything is so easy for this blended family. Not so in Ann Romano's family. Or the Bunkers.
I Lovex this show my Mom was a single parent trying to raise Three kids I no she j didn't have it easy I raised Three kid's and I was Married and it was not easy we took are Mom for granted I loved my mom but I never released how hard she had it I love you Mom may she RIP
To the scriptwriters: Why did you have a non-Italian actress play a woman born a "Romano" who was married to a "Cooper" that played by an obviously Italian looking actor named Campanella? Confusion?
I have been trying to find the episode where they were doing a Talent show. and I think Ann and the two girls were dressed like little triplet babies in highchairs and they were singing. "How I wish a Had a gun, A little gun and then I'd shoot the other two, and then there would be one" is that the same ep.where Nanette Fabre played the saw? what was the title of the one I was describing, or the season/ episode # ?
She had a difficult childhood that probably affected her a lot, her father was famous too (he was in the band Mamas and the papas) and an addict and abused her.
39:24 - they're volatile, they're energized, they're passionate - they should NOT be together, oh, HO, no...ah hell no. Volatile, energized, passionate people should be by THEMSELVES.
The Ginny Wroblicki character vanished from the program without any fanfare or explanation. (Unlike Richard Masur's David Kane who had an elaborate sendoff). Mary Louise Wilson, who played Ginny, was coming off six years of acting primarily on Broadway on stage and had not done a television show since 1970. After learning from Norman Lear she had been signed for the show, she watched an episode and did not find it funny at all. She also was not given an episode script until the first read-through of her very first episode. She was unaccustomed to the cue lights and cameras of a television sound stage and, in her frustration, told her agent she wanted to be released from her contract. At the last minute after her meeting, she had a change of heart and wanted to continue on the show, but by then her agent had already negotiated her release with Lear.
Leftists just revere what they're supposed to, especially in Hollywood. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled is convincing the world that Khazars are Jews.
She went through a lot of bad things in her life. Her attitude could’ve been a reflection of how she felt at the time. Her father raped her when she was 18 and that continued for about ten years. That alone tells you how messed up her life was.
That was a horrendous time for television. Horrible show coupled with some incredibly bad performances. Harrington was good, but his character was awful. B A D…T E L E V I S I O N. Almost as bad as Alice.
I loved the show until that stupid Glenn Scarpelli was a regular. Couldn’t watch it with his overacting every week. Not long after this reunion Phillips would be arrested yet again for possessing dope at an airport.
I didn't mind Scarpelli. He was one in a long line of "Cousin Oliver " additions to an established sitcom. Keeping his character around didn't make a lot of sense after they killed off his dad. The writers didn't develop the character or give him much to do.
Back in The day 😊 when TV was good ☺️ Great show Great cast All of them were
And a new season meant new shows, now more reboots.
You are very right it was very CLEAR BACK THEN!!!!!❤😊
It's just shame that we lost both of pat and bonnie too and I miss them very much and they will be remembered by us fans of the show itself
It is I love them both two lovely people they are missed deeply
@@grangrampa832 they both are going to be missed by the fans who grew up with their talents as people

@@ninademci1500 Did you know that Bonnie Franklin didn't have real children in real life and she had step kids with her 2nd husband I think
@@ninademci1500 I was 7 years old when it debuted! 😊❤
My favorite show, so glad they had a reunion before Pat n Bonnie past away, RIP!!!!
I miss my daddy, aunty , grandma and all my family that passed.
Can’t believe this reunion is 17 years old!
Can't believe I'm 17 years old!! 😱
(Actually I'm 61) 😱😱😱😭
@@ehlerhog Understood. I will be 58 this year. Where did the time GO? I want to go back!!
This was an important show for all of us girls becoming women.
I loved Richard Masur on the show. I remember, even as a 10 year old watching this when it first aired in the 70’s, missing the character of David when he left the show. He was so sweet as funny.
I done sat up here and cried my eyes out at this. Rest in Power Pat Harrington, Jr. and Bonnie Franklin.
And Nanette Fabray
No power in a coffin.
The 70s seem like it was an awesome decade. I was born 6 yes after this show ended
This is and was my favorite show ... wish I can find it and watch all of them again .. I missed it ..I am Valerie s age so I grew up watching it..
What a great series, Rest in peace Ann Romano, ( Bonnie Franklin)
Loved this show when I was a kid,had a HUGE child crush on Bonnie Franklin,thought she was sooo CUTE !!! LOL.
I had crush on Valerie Bertinelli
Love the way they talked about the characters' feelings & situations in the first person. For awhile in their lives, they "were" those characters. That's why they were so believable and loved.
Yes a real live Family

Poor Mackenzie... she was actually the best actor on the show bar none, but was so troubled it derailed her career. I'm glad she's healthier now.
They worked as a team. That's why the show lasted, even with Mackenzie's two "departures". But yes, MP was a natural.
Yes, and her movie (mostly Lifetime movies) that she was in. Sh was on celebrity Rehab, and she made it through, and I could not be prouder for her. We fight the disease and then work on a cure. ❤😊
@@twistoffate4791s
Valerie Bertinelli was my first crush! Loved this show as a kid.
Wolfie, you oughta be proud. Your mama was a smoke show, and she still is. 😁🥰
That would be a weird flex for a SON.
Wolfie has a billion other reasons to be proud of his mom - she's amazing on EVERY level.
I'm so glad that I got the whole one day at a time series it's amazing terrific actors and beautiful people
RIP Bonnie... growing up...loved this show 🥰
I loved the TV show One day at a time! Very good TV show of the 70s and 80s i think? ❤ 😊
I don't want to be a good girl..........I want to be like Julie!! Can not put into words how much I love this show!!
I Have ALWAYS Loved "One Day At A Time"!
Thanks for including the commercials!!⭐💜⭐💜⭐💜⭐
Absolutely love this show!👍
Like every young boy at the time, I was in love with Valerie. The only reason I watched it. I was devastated when she married that rock n roll star. Loved this show
"that rock n roll star". You're so devastated, you can't even bring yourself to say his name. 😄
@@tomflorio7363 it still hurts.

They sure don't make great TV sitcoms like this anymore and that theame song.
It was never the same without both daughters. Like Empty Nest in that way.
Such a GREAT SHOW!
I love this show so much..wish a cable channel would start at the first episode and just play them in order again.
Pluto TV has it!
Also Antenna TV.
watching this i relect back to when i was a young boy growing up watching these great shows and now im in my 50s how time gets away on ya
Robby Benson! My 1st tv crush!!
I enjoyed Robby Benson in the movie, Ode to Billy Joe.
May Pat and Bonnie RIP
Dla mnie najpiekniejsza kobieta, ktora grala w tym serialu jest Shelley Fabares❤ Absolutnie cudowna i ten zarazliwy usmiech.
I had a crush on Valley Bertinelli when I was 15 years old now I'm 60 years old is she still looks the same attractive
I think Bonnie Franklin passed away shortly after having a guest appearance on “Hot in Cleveland”, and I was shocked.
No mention of supporting cast members Ron Rifkin, Mary Louise Wilson, Boyd Gaines, Joseph Campanella, and Howard Hessman.
@@pamelanauss There was a brief clip of Richard Masur discussing his role as David Kane and his time in the series.
They have Ginny mentioned in the musical numbers and show it.
@@thomash.schwed3662 Glen Scarpelli, just simply disappeared. Alex was never mentioned again.
@@KelliVitiGlenn Scarpelli is living in Sedona, Arizona with his second husband, John Ricci, Jr.
I grew up watching this show. Julie reminds me of myself.
RIP!! BONNIE FRANKLIN & PAT HARRINGTON!!
I love this show
i loved this show since grade school.. love them all
Hard to believe that I am same age as Valerie and Mack actually I am a year older
Thanks for posting this 👍🏻
This! Me with my dad! 😂 you tell me to be independent & then you told me not to be independent! 😂 & yes was watching this with my dad his childhood show!

Like them, I heard the lyrics incorrectly too. I’m so glad I can utilize the closed captioning that was invented for the Deaf.
I love this show, miss them all
Very convenient that they have the book right there with the words to the theme song.
Sweet show
Onedaytime
Sweet heart show ontv at the time
Loved this show
This includes the now rare segment about musical numbers. That part was edited out when they put this on the first season DVD set.
MP = great actress!
Yes this show was awesome

Who else thought Valerie Bertinelli's name was Valerie Bert and Ernie?😂
You're so 🤣🤣
You must watch family guy
No
Is the One Day at a Time set the same one they used for Good Times?
no

Excellent questions!
Red heads exist in Italy. 🤦
Wow
54:12-54:20 That's some rare behind-the-scenes footage there.
At least they didn’t sugarcoat Phillips’ leaving the show two times…..
It wasn't sugar coated then, why would it be sugar coated now?
Really like this show had a crush on Bonnie I thought she was so cute
*9 YEARS?!?!* 😱 And the remake only had 4 seasons,1 of which hasn't even been dubbed in Italian????😫😭
This made 209 episodes. The remake only made about 46.

I always hadda crush on David!! 😍
He is their version of krammer
Pat had a long career going back to the early days of Television.
As for Valerie…being a pubescent boy in the 70’s I had a big crush!😘
It would be nice to make some reunion based One Day at a time movies at least 23 of them or at least er 8 of them period Amen
What?
@@marcofalzone6469 Oddly specific, ain't he?

Why doesn't she know the theme song?
People say BF was difficult, BUT I think she isn’t was adamant that the show didn’t turn into a cliched “sitcom”.
Mackenzie looks super thin.!
She was a drug addict for years throughout the series.
She had a difficult childhood that probably affected her a lot, her father was famous too (he was in the band Mamas and the papas) and an addict and abused her.
Schneider the dirty ol man in the apartment building.
Wasn't always sold on Bonnie Franklin's acting
agreed. suspect she was a better stage actress.
My first ex-wife looked just like Bonnie.
39:24 - they're volatile, they're energized, they're passionate - they should NOT be together, oh, HO, no...ah hell no. Volatile, energized, passionate people should be by THEMSELVES.
13:58 My favorite clip of the whole special. 😅😅😅😅 Julie is SO busted with Foot-in-Mouth disease.
Mackenzie was still getting high.
Mackenzie doesn't look well.
When did she ever look well?
@@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc Before cocaine and other hard drugs screwed her up and Norman Lear had to let her go because of it.
A lot of overacting in this sitcom..
That was the sitcom style in the 1970's.
Ginny didn’t last long.
She was not too popular with the fans of the show.
The Ginny Wroblicki character vanished from the program without any fanfare or explanation. (Unlike Richard Masur's David Kane who had an elaborate sendoff).

At the last minute after her meeting, she had a change of heart and wanted to continue on the show, but by then her agent had already negotiated her release with Lear.
And then to find out that Franklin idolized Margaret Sanger. Just evil.
Leftists just revere what they're supposed to, especially in Hollywood. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled is convincing the world that Khazars are Jews.
Wow! I hadn't heard that.
lol, start right away bragging about their social agenda. I hope they enjoy it.
I met Phillips a long time ago at a Mama and Papas concert. She was very rude.
She went through a lot of bad things in her life. Her attitude could’ve been a reflection of how she felt at the time. Her father raped her when she was 18 and that continued for about ten years. That alone tells you how messed up her life was.
How was she rude? Tell us more.
It was kinda creepy all of the sex stuff in this show.
That was a horrendous time for television. Horrible show coupled with some incredibly bad performances. Harrington was good, but his character was awful. B A D…T E L E V I S I O N. Almost as bad as Alice.

I loved the show until that stupid Glenn Scarpelli was a regular. Couldn’t watch it with his overacting every week. Not long after this reunion Phillips would be arrested yet again for possessing dope at an airport.
