I remember watching this series when I was younger. Way younger. I always remembered it so well because it dealt with real life issues (e.g., divorce, abortion, puberty, etc.) without "prettying" solutions up. The family fought hard, loved hard and always pushed through. They may have had more than my family did financially, but they dealt with alot of the same issues. So NOT the Brady Bunch. When I saw that this had been released I had to rent it from Netflix just to check it out for old times sake. Surprise! My 16 year old daughter fell in love with this series right along with her Mom. This was one of her favorite Christmas gifts this year. She just loves Willie. Of course, I have to remind her that he would be like... um OLD now... (at least as far as she is concerned). Anyway, loved it in the 70's - love it again in the new millenium.Read full review
'Family' (not 'The Family' as titled when I purchased) was the anti 'All In The Family Show' of its time. This unique series showed us how, through most difficult times and tribulations, actions and discussing feelings honestly can resolve issues (most of the times). The show's creator Mike McNichol was not afraid to tackle virtually any controversial subject head on. This show was one of Aaron Spelling's best with an all star cast including a young Kristy McNichol and the talented (guest) actor/pianist John Rubinstein. Thrilled at the remastered, high quality of this DVD set.

I was excited to see this 70s hit tv show made available on dvd especially since it has not been rerun on tv in over 20 years. The picture and sound quality of each episode is excellent and there isn't a single moment edited out as tv sometimes does. It might have been nice to have some recollections included from the surviving cast members, but this is still a class A dvd set with all the episodes in the same order as when the show first aired.
It is lite on Foul Language, Sexual content is at a minimal level, & has a lot of light hearted comedy; Even though the show is considered a "Drama". Kristy Mcnichol as "Buddy" was 14 when this show began, & without question really knows how to act, & really shines throughout most of the episodes. Especially with interactions between her brother "Willie" (Gary Frank) in the show. The Problem... DVD's are dated 2006... When will the other 2 seasons come out? Its been at least 2 1/2 years since this set came out!!! Scott
