That was so cute, they all were so sweet. I wish people respected our elders like we use to. So many like to dictate to them yet, never visit. Its truly sad in this age of fake social media, just how desperately lonely so many people truly are.....
Meredith's character, Ruth, was kind, caring and respectful of her granny. People, nowadays, don't have any basic manners or common decency especially toward their elders. Things have changed in the last 50 - 60 years and not for the better.
Flash back ! I was born in 1964 . My mother would let me stay up until 11pm on Friday nights to watch this classic show ! If I am correct also Room 222 ? I love the 70's ! Oh, and Wait till your father gets home (cartoon) ! I am loving it !
I recall the Friday night lineup on ABC in 1972 clearly still; that night was special since there was no school the following day, I was already often babysitting on the weekends, and therefore could stay up late. First off, there was The Brady Bunch, followed by The Partridge Family, The Odd Couple, Room 222, and last but certainly not least: Love American Style in the time slot between 10 pm and the news at eleven. Wow, what terrific memories. Anybody have the keys to a time machine, with a dial spun back to this fabulous time for many of us growing up?
@Lance Lanny OMFG ! I LOVE everything you just mentioned ! Damn, I really miss the 70's and all the Thrills & Chills associated with that one of a kind Incredible Decade !!! I also remember the Sonny & Cher Show and Laugh-In...oh, and the Donny & Marie Show !
@Lance Lanny You Cannot !!! Three Dog Night - Carly Simon - Heart - Doobie Brothers - Carol King - Elton John - James Taylor - Earth Wind & Fire - The movie Grease Sound Track - Captain and Tennille ... There are way too many more.... "THE SEVENTIES ROCK" & "KISS ASS" Amen Brother & Peace Out .... WOO-HOO !!!
The shows today are not like that at all. Come to think of it, they're not even shows the way I was brought up to think of entertainment. They are merely exploitative garbage filled with filth meant to shock and/or titillate. Nothing clever, grand, witty or eloquent. All the class is a thing of the past. Just stupidity, violence, degradation, and smut. And that's if you can get beyond the commercials. One we had three networks in ferocious competition. Now there are hundreds of channels and no programming worth viewing. If this is progress, I'll pass. It's why I turn to TH-cam and uploads like these.
@@cynthialyman2636 To watch our favorite shows from the 50's, 60's, and 70's, we watch them here on youtube or buy the DVD's. Some of these quality shows can be seen on Hulu and Netflix.
I got married cause I thought it was the right thing. Morals are truly paradoxical. When opportunities, medical care, finances, all of family, and my attorney all said 'get a divorce' ? I was so very confused.
Meredith could've guest-starred on The Brady Bunch, back then, likely as Marcia Brady's cheerleading coach- speaking of Marcia, both Meredith and Maureen McCormick appeared on All-Star Family Feud, back in 1983!!!
it also appeared in.a 1974 "All in the Family" episode, coincidently also starring Ruth McDevitt where she an Burt Mustin played elderly acquaintances of Archie and Edith who shack up because if they married their Social Security would be cut.
May 30, 2015 - Happy Birthday to Meredith MacRae! With her beauty, talent, and the warmest of personalalities on screen, she certainly could have furthered her own Hollywood career. But instead it seems she chose to care more about helping others through all kinds of charity work (see MeredithMacRae.com) and raise her family. She left us way too soon (May 30, 1944 - July 14, 2000). To see a bit of her singing talent, check out my favorite, her single "Goodbye Love" posted on youtube. Also check "Whispering Hope" duet with her dad Gordon MacRae which is absolutely beautiful and flawless and shows how deep her singing talent really was.
Not a good ending. Ruth's first instincts were right and grandma lied to her and called her a sucker when she believed the lie. Granny doesn't deserve the respect Ruth gave her.
@a1orski I agree. This was still 1970, an era where living together wasn't really accepted by a lot of people yet. I'm never a fan of lying, but I do get why the grandmother lied to Ruth. Clearly, from Ruth's reaction, one can understand why she wasn't wild about telling her, but that's a lie you just can't get by with. Someone's going to find out the truth. It's none of Ruth's business, and, frankly, Ruth overreacted quite a bit.

I'm going to watch Room 222 after this series. I am 34 and i love retro shows. I just cant get into tv shows of today's time.
It's was always so exciting to stay up late.when we were kids. It was magical even. The 70's were the best.

Patrick Wayne just as handsome as his dad
John Wayne is my hero 😍🥰
Meredith MacRae was wow. I knew that as a kid.
Meredith is not only a gorgeous chick, she is a beautiful person.
Meredith was very beautiful.
She died young of Brain cancer. While watching Shirley Jones on a Haunting of, she came thru

Meredith, Billie Jo Bradley from "Hooter" ville. RIP beautiful lady. Love the other comments:)

This Social Security plot point was pretty popular on television at the time..I saw it on Good Times recently..
it also appeared in.a 1974 "All in the Family" episode, coincidently also starring Ruth McDevitt where she an Burt Mustin played elderly acquaintances of Archie and Edith who shack up because if they married their Social Security would be cut.
as a kid i thought M M was one of the prettiest girls on tv...i was right

I thought she was still alive, and married to another woman.
+Trust Me, I'm Black! That's Meredith Baxter from Family Ties.
Jess4metoo Oh, okay. I always get those two confused.
No they are actually two different people. With different birthdays and everything. j~
jerickzane But I'll still be sending just the one birthday card!
One of Ford's last acting roles. His last role in front of the camera was 1972's TV Movie "Fair Play".
Awesome clip
Funny when you think that Patrick Wayne is now 15 years older than Ruth McDevitt was in this show.
Grandma works in the office with Kolchak 👻
LOve the show but the audio was out of sync. :(
Yeah, only a little. I've seen a lot worse
Yeah, sorry about that. It was a cheap video converter I used at the time. Fortunately, others have posted this episode done better.
This was one of the better done sketches in my opinion. It had some depth to it.
She was a beautiful as Sharon Tate and that is saying a lot.
nah
@@stevekinsocal you right
Meredith McRae reminds me of Melissa Way.
Patrick-wayne is the son of (the duke) john-wayne who would later host tic tac dough in the 1990's.
FRANK . FERRIERAS . 2020
Just LOVE!!!
Sound too low.
She said once her hair was a fall. Really?
Oh no....the people gonna cut off the checks if they're married
The government penalizes married couples which is one reason why couples choose to shack up instead. Very sad!
pat wayne the duke's son.
Not a good ending. Ruth's first instincts were right and grandma lied to her and called her a sucker when she believed the lie. Granny doesn't deserve the respect Ruth gave her.
totally agree. Interesting up to the end.
If you try to find happiness through other people's approval you will lead a sad,lonely life.Granny lied to put Ruth's mind at ease.That was noble.
I agree Ruth's first instincts were good.
