Product reviewsThe Family - The Complete First Second Seasons (DVD, 2006, 6-Disc Set)

The FAMILY - Nostolgic 1st & 2nd Season

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 - Underrated as one of THE BEST TV show of the 70's - A must see!

'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. Read full review...

"Family" 70s tv show dvd set of the first two seasons

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.Read full review...

"FAMILY" was Between a GOOD & EXCELLENT TV Show!

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!!! ScottRead full review...

Critically Acclaimed TV Series from the 1970s

This TV Series was a favorite decades ago, but for me they stand up. Might not be for the younger folks but I love the series. Wonderful Writing and Acting and the Guest stars are interesting.

Family

I remembered this show as good, but it is great. Characters are well-defined and dealing with issues that are still relevant today. The acting is excellent and engaging. Quality on all fronts. I would highly recommend.

Something slipped when TV Reality shows became the norm. The drama shows today are on the dark side and have too much violence. It's nice to go back to a time when television was good.Read full review...

"The Family" Complete first and second seasons

This show brings back lot's of memories. It's hard to believe how long ago it was on. The networks ran a lot of high quality drama shows in the pre cable/satellite days. All of the actors do a good job. The first season is short as it was a summer replacement. The DVD quality is good. Obviously some of the clothes, cars, etc. are dated but that's part of the run in watching it.Read full review...

LOVE THIS SHOW!
