If she wouldn't of said that phrase, it would have just sunk deep into the sands of time and totally forgotten by man. lmao! Maybe on day "That Sucks" will disappear too. (Sorry, I couldn't think of any better example lol!)
I think it would have made life alot easier if they would have gotten to know each other from the start. After the wedding it's to late. If you're the children you're stuck.
@tonyakrebs4137 I wouldn't think they would have. The show couldn't have been an afternoon special if they'd spend all the time it took to go thru the whole backstory.
This is what father's are supposed to do for their children, spend quality time with them and get to know them and not just support them. Even step dads. My dad did this with me but only after my mom and dad divorced. Real good little movie! Thank you!
@@anitaboneshowSounds like you have a dad who didn't stick around for you, and now you're bitter about it. Dads are extremely important and real men are not going to be eradicated.
Sweet story. I have always loved Danny Aiello. The Last Don/The Last Don 2 is one of my favorites off all times. He was a sweet man, I am sure in real life as well. Rest in peace Danny!!
this was a good movie I can understand where a child is coming from just because their parent remarries doesnt mean they want to be adopted. However in this case this Man could give her the love her Dad never did.
My Mom absolutely adored hee step Dad! He was very tough, but fair & made sure she was taken care of when Dad left! Out of his 6 children, only 1 was his by birth. And I never saw any difference in the way he treated any of them❤
In memory of Danny Aiello (1933-2019). This ABC Weekend Special was perhaps filmed back when Aiello was 46 years of age, hence his year of birth and when this first aired.
They do still make movies and shows like this. I would argue maybe even more. There is much more movies and shows in general being made now. Think of cable with more then 13 channels and all the streaming services. You just have to look.
Dominic gets angry at Carrie for throwing Ginger's clothes, even though they weren't harmed. But, not a word is said to Ginger about breaking Carrie's box.
Good movie he goes out of his way to make everyone happy and never gives up on anyone feelings/this makes a life for real relationship and he has no selfishness in him ( Meaning) true love sure love for all/ this movie has more meaning than anyone can imagine
Thanks so much for the old abc after school specials it reminds me of so many wonderful memories thanks mama Priscilla folmar for the great childhood, to my mom 😀
He could’ve done a lot better when they first got married, but you have to love the way he tried to improve, he got better at listening to each child. I think he would’ve continued to try strengthen the family and be a better husband and father. That’s all we can do- keep trying to do better, strengthen our relationships as much as we can on our side of it.
4:55 "Well excuse me for living!" lol That's something I used to say a lot when I was around that age. 26:42 I sure miss the days of going to skating rinks. It doesn't seem that long ago, but it really has been. 😢
In 1980,when this short film was released I was 17. I was n still am a Danny Aielo fan. Excellent actor,husband n man! GOD BLESS HIM n U, ALWAYS N FOREVER AND EVER AMEN.
I used to love going skating as a teenager. My sister and I used to go skating on Saturday afternoons. Remember The New Kid In Town? They played that song so much I still remember every word. I listened to that song Do The Boogaloo on here before I saw this. That song brought me here. This is a very good episode. It is really like a blended family. I used to watch all these After School Specials. Carrie and Rosie seemed to be getting along halfway into it.
Good movie. I've enjoyed it so far. I had 4 children and also had my ex boyfriend's 3children. They still call me mom and I still say 7 children and raised 1granddaughter for 5 years
Adults can be as selfish af. "Kids are resilient. They'll bounce back". This is the favorite expression used by selfish parents when they want to upend their child's life by being self-focused on their own self-serving needs.
Always balance work time and family time because your children are only young once and certainly you want grandkids. My mom told me that children spell love T-I-M-E. It's the time you spend with them means everything.
I wish I could own them all. I have a couple of boxed sets, both The Boy Who Drank Too Much and Psst Hammerman's After You. I'm packing to move and found that I still have my old scrapbooks...Yup, I have those pictures that were on the wall!!!
Danny Aiello, was a Brilliant actor, Leon, Once Around, bring me the head of Mavis Davis, which was filmed in the UK, absolutely Hilarious and in a lot of Mafia movies...
Frozen chicken by banquet is pretty close to homemade ❤ you just don’t have the drippings for gravy but chicken broth is a good backup if you don’t have drippings 😊
I didn't know that they still made this stuff! I used to buy it back in the 80's and I remember how good it was! I'm in Iowa, where are you located at?
This type of situation is never easy. My mother died when I was ten & I ended up with an abusive, alcoholic stepmother. At least Carrie's mother didn't marry someone alcoholic, but got away from someone like that. I would have loved to have been a part of this man's family. He was loving and caring.
Cmon, don’t rush the adoption of your stepchild within two months of the marriage. Give it some time. and you don’t spring the news on her in front of everyone in a restaurant.
@@ameerordimly1449 I think the movie thats what it seemed like on her imdb. She was a dancer named LIsa 🤷🏻♀️. But it is interesting this movie had Julie from Gimmie a Break, a dancer from Fame and little Christina Crawford. YT got me all into watching these old afterschool and weekend specials 😂 its been cool seeing how many actors i see when they were younger or at the same time as their other show
@@ameerordimly1449 The movie--Miss Laura Dean actually graduated from the High School of Performing Arts (now LaGuardia High School of Music and Art and Performing Arts).
My parents are divorced and my dad got remarried I had lots of feelings bout it but luckily my stepmom is good. My mom has a boyfriend and they happy together. I just want my parents to be happy with their others
I used to love these when I was a kid. But as an adult, I noticed something about them: they're based on children's novels, almost none of which are read today. There are thousands of young adult novels written by Kin Platt, Fran Arick, Paul Zindel, Judy Blume, and others, half of which are forgotten. Then again, how can you blame today's kids for not wanting to read this stuff. They don't have to wait while their teenage sister hogs the phone, they don't have to have quarters for the payphone, no renting videos from the local video store, no fax machines anymore, no writing letters to your friend in another state and waiting for a reply, and mom doesn't tell her son, "No, you can't try on your sister dresses."
I was a child and teen of the 70's. I remember watching these as well and reading those books too. They made 'Are you there God, it's me Margaret' this year and I watched the movie with my 11 year old. She loved the movie. I was at first hesitant to watch the movie because I heard it was terrible and everybody was trashing it. My first thought was that they changed the book (which I adored when I was my daughter's age) to make it more like all the other young adult movies that are seen on Netflix. Imagine my surprise when the movie was EXACTLY like the book! I couldn't figure out what everyone's problem was with the movie. It was a different time for sure but I think kids today are handicapped by all the media available to them. I've watched some of the movies that are out there now and they seem so unrealistic and mean. The values we held back then seem to be values they mock today. Funny thing is my daughter felt just like Margaret so I think the media is doing a great disservice to today's youth by telling them THIS is what should be bothering you. I may be rambling...
Kind of weird and creepy how he forces her to hug him and she clearly wasn't ready. Then starts an adoption after a short time and never asks her about it, and screams in her face to top it all off. Bizarre! This movie is disturbing on so many levels. 😂😂😂
Rate, my families and couples try to work things out, rather than giving up too quickly. More patience, more forgiveness, would help our country tremendously.
I know the mother told Carrie he wanted to adopt her but they never sat down to see what Carrie wanted before he started processing paperwork. And they were still adjusting. Carrie hadn’t bonded with him yet. I think carried needed to adjust, bond with the stepfather, maybe seek counseling of being abandoned by her real father and then they could talk adoption if that’s what Carrie wanted. The stepfather shouldn’t get so offended. She’s a little girl going through a lot. She doesn’t realize how much the stepfather is doing and that he wants them to be a family. Stepfather has a temper. Needs some anger control therapy.
Yes they take me back too. i am 68 years old and remember the days when life was simpler- that is the time when I was happiest I would love to be a child again growing up in those times. It is so awful what has happened to this world and am glad I am not a child growing up in this era.
I grew up in a war zone due to blended family. I swore when I grew up I'd never do it and I never did. It takes 2 strong grounded parents to deal with the rebellion and fighting with mixed families.
Imagine, a step-father who is NOT abusing his step-daughter. What a novel idea. To actually be a protector and mentor to a young girl who is the daughter of your wife. There was a time this was actually a possibility. Those were good days.
It’s really hard to blend two families especially at their ages. Rosie was at a good age. The kids get used to be with one parent and having them to themselves. So important in dating to have the kids around at times too so they get to know each other, feel comfortable, know it’s safe and still go home to separate homes.

I loved watching these!
I totally agree!…and they always had a very good informative life lesson subject…the good old days lol
Me too
They should bring these back.
@@julesservantofjesus972I did too! Fun to watch after school

I haven't either. I used to say that lol
Lol I thought the same thing
As a Gen Xer these movies really bring back great memories..
Same. I was 14 when this came out. I want to go back
They do, don't they?
I enjoyed the after school specials growing up during the 70's and 80's.
As a Gen Xer, these movies explain a lot about why we are the way we are 😂
🙄🙄🙄🙄 old millennial too @@madlife3770
Now my daughter is almost 30 years old and I will never have that precious time back where we always did things together everyday.
You sound like a great mother! 💯 I wish my mom had the same sentiments as you...
It was stupid of them to get married without ever even introducing their kids and getting to know everyone.
I think it would have made life alot easier if they would have gotten to know each other from the start. After the wedding it's to late. If you're the children you're stuck.
@tonyakrebs4137
I wouldn't think they would have. The show couldn't have been an afternoon special if they'd spend all the time it took to go thru the whole backstory.
My exact thoughts.
Kids weren't seen as people really
The after school movies were very special growing up. I'm glad to see them again.
This is what father's are supposed to do for their children, spend quality time with them and get to know them and not just support them. Even step dads. My dad did this with me but only after my mom and dad divorced. Real good little movie! Thank you!
And be sexist af. Yeah, great message.
@@anitaboneshow it was a different time back then gf
@@anitaboneshowSounds like you have a dad who didn't stick around for you, and now you're bitter about it. Dads are extremely important and real men are not going to be eradicated.
@@rileycoyote8275 They're not fixing the sexism issue, that's for sure.
Good movie
I wish my step-dad had loved me like that. Sometimes kids don't even realize how fortunate they are.
That's so true
Sometimes? More like every time!
True! My step Mom always said she wanted girls, but would then stab me in the back when I got too close, or turned my back! 😢 Her loss!
this is so heart warming. My parents divorced and remarried others. I was fortunate to have a very good stepfather.
Same. Still better than my mom and real dad who won't acknowledge me only a mile away.
Pretty realistic portrayal of a newly blended family learning to live with each other I'd say.
I am thinking didn't they spend time together has a family before they got married. Jennifer
@@stuartpierce121 so true.
Wow, what a sweet, wonderful movie, the kind you are glad you watched afterward.
I remember the old photo booths and miss them too.
Nice to see Danny Aiello play an even tempered person, through out his career he often plays the opposite.
I really enjoyed the After School movies when they were on regular television.
Sweet story. I have always loved Danny Aiello. The Last Don/The Last Don 2 is one of my favorites off all times. He was a sweet man, I am sure in real life as well. Rest in peace Danny!!
This is true life not like the Brady Bunch. Depicts real blended family struggles.
The Brady Bunch was a sitcom it wasn't depicting true life.
Wow I loved this movie! It made me tear up! I wish we have movies like this today!
me too. makes me want to go back in time.
this was a good movie I can understand where a child is coming from just because their parent remarries doesnt mean they want to be adopted. However in this case this Man could give her the love her Dad never did.

@@NovemberReigne The main reason I watched this 1-hour movie, is because I'm a big fan of Lauri Hendler who plays Julie Kanisky on Gimme A Break!.
Remember when they used to make shows and movies for the whole family and each family member could take something away from it?
No, I watched after school specials by myself home sick while my single mother was at work (genx)🥴
This is a fun movie
Now everything is murder, rape, and mayhem!

I could never ever have done that, not as a child and not as an adult. I am happy for anyone who CAN mix two families together though.
I love these! I absolutely still adore the fashion!
Pre-hoodie and sports gear!

I agree. Children aren’t resilient when their lives are crushed by selfish choices made by parents and caregivers
And why so many people go around with trauma.

This is old school. I remember they would play these on the weekend sometimes when they didnt run after school.
