It does not matter what year or when this took place. The choices are always the same. I am glad I stumbled upon these moral teachings about peer pressure and sex or sexuality...
One of the best in the series. Great cast. Dialog, music and dancing are very dated, but in a very kitchy-fun way. The basic message and themes are timeless.
She was born Joy Wener and married a man named Paul Bang. Interestingly enough, she worked as a go-go dancer prior to her acting career, from which I believe she retired decades ago. She is 78 years old. At the time of this episode, she was a 26 year old woman portraying a character 10 years younger. I’m not sure why she wore a kerchief (not a common fashion accessory for a teenage girl in 1971) throughout the episode.
What a great young cast! One of my favorite episodes of Insight. The moral lessons here are timeless, and transcend generations. Unfortunately, my teenage kids didn't agree. The dated and unintentionally funny dialogue didn't go over well with them. To be fair, the dancing scene is kind of awkward, but it's beside the point when you consider the very important messages. Father Kieser's intro was the best one I've ever seen. I wonder how this went over with the target audience it was intended for back in the day?
During this period, Meredith Baxter and Michael Burns co-starred in a pilot {about a young married couple} produced by Doris Day's production company, "YOUNG LOVE". It was reworked into the last "DORIS DAY SHOW" of the 1970-'71 season [March 15, 1971], with new scenes of Doris added. The original pilot was later "burned off" in May 1974.
After they did that failed pilot, I think Michael Burns did the 1972 TV Movie Gidget Gets Married in hopes of that becoming a series. Baxter went on to do Bridget Loves Bernie then on to the TV series Family.
Mitch's turnaround was implausible, but it's good that he and Lorna had an honest talk. Stan and Abby behaved quite childishly. The other two were just going along with expectations. None of them were emotionally prepared for any of this.
I agree! I was born in the mid 90s but I wish that I could've been in the 70s. Things seemed much more simpler and not uptight and over chaotic like it is now. Especially television, the movies and tv shows were WAY better back then compared to todays entertainment & had meaning to it.
Born in 1965, I lived through the 70s from the ages of 4 through 14. What I mostly remember are the things that were on the minds of other people in that age group - namely, great music and TV shows and a lot of cool toys. What I wasn’t paying attention to were the things that made the 70s lousy to live through for adults: Vietnam, Watergate, the energy crisis, pollution, a drug epidemic, rising crime rates, recessions, the Iran hostage crisis…here in New York, a dangerous city on the verge of bankruptcy with a notorious serial killer running around and a power outage that lasted for days…even during my days of childhood bliss, there was a sense of something not right just outside the bedroom window. I discovered Insight during that period. It appeared to be providing a moral compass for a troubled time.
I think that's Meridith Baxter in the polka dotted skirt. Its the girl in the in the middle of the girls standing in front of the locker at the very start of the episode. She was on Family Ties and has done a bunch of tv movies.
I don't know what that priest is saying but I know sex is not allowed before marriage according to the word of God and that is the almighty God speaking not some priests and some getup
Someone ought to call the police and arrest that obscene green shag carpet.
I do love the message of this episode.
Joy Bang wherever you are, we miss you!
She became a nurse after she quit acting.
its amazing how many redheads there were just 50 years ago.

Amusing given the theme of this episode that one of the actors cast goes by the name Joy Bang!

*"DANGER! WILL ROBINSON! Put down that guitar and get a haircut!"*

It is weird seeing him with that hair, what would the robot think??
Needs singing lessons

Ha! He was the only actor actually high school age on this show.

Fascinating! Thanks Barry!
You're very welcome! :)

Thank you very much for that lead. Very much news to me. Will gladly look into this.
In a committed rerelationship, where the participants are two mature adults, it is a beautiful thing.
Excellent episode. Insight always had great writing and acting

Very Good. In my opinion I think the 70s, was a much better time to have lived in.

Forgive me father for I have sinned...dreaming of Meredith Baxter
Woh.
Did kids really talk like that? 😂
looking for Intrusion (1971) possibly Season 11 Episode 51
Do you have The Freak (1972) with Ed Asner and Tim Matheson?
*Three* months?!?
I don't know what that priest is saying but I know sex is not allowed before marriage according to the word of God and that is the almighty God speaking not some priests and some getup
What is Meredith 25 here
She was already a Mum when this episode was made.
