The show everyone knows and loves! Join the Lawrence family as they deal with life, love, health, and more in the 70s. Sada Thompson, James Broderick, Elayne Heilveil, Gary Frank, Kristy McNichol, and Meredith Baxter star with guests including Willie Aames, Howard Hesseman, Helen Hunt, Tommy Lee Jones, Genie Francis, and Vic Tayback. Included are 28 episodes on 6 DVDs including the pilot from producers Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg. This groundbreaking series from the mid-1970s was helmed by Mike Nichols (CLOSER) and Aaron Spelling (CHARLIE'S ANGELS), and was a career-making showcase for such stars as Meredith Baxter and Kristy McNichol, among others. Focusing on an upper-middle-class California family, the show daringly portrayed controversial subject matter such as child abuse, extramarital affairs, and teenage alcohol dependency. The Lawrence family consisted of lawyer and patriarch Doug (James Broderick), housewife and mother Kate (Sada Thompson), and their children Nancy (Baxter), Willie (Gary Frank), and pre-teen Buddy (McNichol). The first two seasons follow the family through trials and tribulations that include Nancy's divorce, Buddy's first job, and a friend of Willie's who comes out of the closet.

Extreme !!! I can't believe how emotionally entangled with this series I became - my heart jumped beats whenever Meredith Baxter Birney and Kristy McNichol appeared. Submitted by Rebecca Gibney (San Deago, CA, USA) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Genius TV Although my favourite, crushable actors star in this series (Meredith Baxter Birney, Kristy McNichol), and I could adore them through the rest of my life, this series is magnificent - marvelous stories, marvelous cast, and well rounded characters.
BUT.... I hope that they release remaining seasons soon. I want to see more of Meredith Baxter and Kristy McNichol.
Love and Kisses to you both..with deep affection. Submitted by Claire McDonnell (New York) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
"Family" Was Edgy When Edgy Was NoT Cool "Family" is my all-time favorite show. The John Rubinstein theme still makes my hackles rise. One of the sexiest lines ever uttered was when Tommy Lee Jones said, "Welcome to the Stardust Ballroom." when Nancy took him up on a blind date. The societal woes that were tackled were always steps ahead of what was "allowable" on pre-cable television. The characters were always believable. The storylines were always provocative. There was no gratuitous smut. I simply adored this series! Submitted by ldelap (Arlington, VA USA) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
finally a real Family A long wait for this great series to make it to DVD, and now wondering when the rest of it is gonna be available...
The early stuff/pilot with the pre-Meredith Baxter-Birney 'Nancy' is interesting but not essential. Through the rest of the series
Gary Frank excels as Willie, and the rest of the cast is likewise impeccable. Fine writing & direction. Submitted by Joe (Austin, TX. USA) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
