      There was a polio vaccine created in the 1950s. It was hardly around in the 1970s due to the vaccine. By 1979 it was gone. Obviously a millennial who has no clue about history and vaccines.

      I was born in 1978 and remember watching this series and now own the DVD's. I also remember Dick Van Patten doing ads for Jiffy Lube and Oldsmobile. His three sons also acted......LOL at the millennial comment. I remember one millennial saying that people who existed before the 90's were not all that intelligent. It seems to be the other way around.

    I was driving down I 5 in about 2004 and was passed by a gold Mercedes. When I looked to my left I thought, gee that guy looks like Dick Van Patten, but was about to dismiss the thought, you know how the mind works. After he passed me I glanced down at the License plate and it was a custom plate that said 8WASENUF. That was my confirmation it was him. Just a funny story out of nowhere.

    Reminds me of a 70's version of 7th Heaven only not as serious, but still wholesome family entertainment. Loved the reality of the relationship Mr. Bradford & Tommy-Willie Ames with the way they would argue with each other all the time, just like a teenage son and father do. I was about the same age as the character of Nicholas at the time the original show aired, so I always thought the things he did to get into trouble were cute because I did them too! Adam Rich was the best actor of the kids

    I've commented about EIE being the most accurate show of how those times were.Today everybody thinks the 70s was all sex,drugs,and rock n roll. ...but... Most families in middle America were like the Bradfords. Middle class,Wholesome, Proud father having a beer with his son values. Sure they partied on Saturday night but had traditional values on Sunday. This show is a window to the past of simpler, happier times.

    Eight is enough to fill our lives with love
    We spend our days like bright and shiny new dimes
    If we're ever puzzled by the changing times
    There's a plate of homemade wishes on the kitchen window sill
    And eight is enough to fill our lives with love
    More than enough to fill our lives with love

    So much history in this Show. Diana Hyland encouraged her then boyfriend John Travolta to play Tony in Saturday Night Fever, Mark Hamill played David Bradford #1 before doing Star Wars which is one of the most successful Movie Franchises of all time. Dick Van Patten like Marlon Brando played Nels in I remember Mama that Barbara Bel Geddes did before playing Miss Ellie on Dallas. Lee Rich also worked on Dallas as well. Betty Buckley would later be the toast of Broadway as Graziella in Cats along with Jennifer Holliday Effie #1 in Dreamgirls. So many Actors appeared on the Show from Danny Bonaduce as well as Dorian Harewood who was also in The Video for Giving Him Something He Can Feel by En Vogue also done by Aretha Franklin. Sadly enough while some Actors did well, others didn't Adam Rich became an Addict, Willie Aames became broke but he picked himself up, Lani O'Grady was Bipolar before anyone knew what it was while Susan Richardson became a Hoarder and had health problems, Grant Goodeve got clean, became a Born Again Christian and hosted a Children's Show on a Bible Network while Laurie Walters, Dianne Kay and Connie Needham managed to escape the horrors of being in the public eye.

    Diana Hyland was cast as the mother but died of breast cancer after only 4 episodes. They wrote her death into the show, so Dick Van Patten was a single dad. Then he started dating Betty Buckley, whom he married and she became their stepmom.
    Directly after 8 is Enough, Buckley starred in Cats and won a Tony for singing Memory. She later played Norma Desmond in Sunset Blvd in NY and London.

    IF you would travel back in time to 1977 and show people the sick and
    depraved shows we watch now they would think we are all Psychopaths.

    This was one of my favorite shows when I was growing up. It promoted traditional American values of honesty, integrity, loyalty, hard work and family unity. Rest in peace DVP - aka Tom Bradford.

    A very very sad and bizarre end to Lani O’Grady(Mary Bradford). Passed away 9/25/01 age 46 from a drug overdose. No one knows if it was accidental or suicide. So sad and so young. May she RIP.
