"Eight is Enough," Diana Hyland and Adam Rich's big ass head
Found some DVDs at the library so decided to watch. Hadn't seen it in years.
Jesus, green rug in every square inch of that house.
Did they know Diana Hyland was sick when she was cast or did she not get sick until after the pilot? She's only in four episodes. Think Betty Buckley was poisoning her?
Why was Adam Rich considered cute? He looked like a mutant monkey.
Grant Goodeve looks to be three feet tall when he's next to other men on the show. He and Willy Aames are both born again now so feh.

I don't think they knew Diana Hyland was as sick as she was. She also lasted more than four episodes.
OP, did you catch who played David in the pilot?

R3, I didn't see the pilot but I know it was Mark Hamill.
Ya know, all these years later, Hamill seems to be having the most fun in life of anybody.

Just caught Grant Goodeve on an old "Murder, She Wrote" jumping out of a swimming pool in a black speedo. Damn! He looked good!
He did do an 'erotic thriller' called "Take Two" in the late 80s. He played twins in a kind of prince and the pauper storyline. Some hot sex scenes and he showed his ass.

The reigning aesthetic for child actors back in the 70s, OP, held that the more they looked like weird wise little gremlins, the cuter they were supposed to be.
Examples included not just Adam Rich but also Quinn Cummings (The Goodbye Girl and family), Moosie Dreier (The Bob Newhart Show), Robbie Rist (The Brady Bunch and The Mary Tyler Moore Show), Gary Coleman (Diff'rent Strokes) and, most infamously, Mason Reese (various commercials of the time).

The thing I always noticed about EIE is that none of the characters is very likeable. The kids range from boring and forgettable (Elizabeth, Nancy) to angry and unpleasant (Mary, David, Tommy.) Then you had dorky and annoying Dick Van Patten as the dad. Betty Buckley always looked seconds away from tears (probably because people believed she was married to Dick Van Patten.)
It's no wonder the show never became a nostalgic hit in reruns. More surprising it was ever popular in the first place.

R14- I found most of the kids likeable. They could have done more with Elizabeth. Most of the time they just had her looking cute and talking on the phone. She did have an amazing mane.

I love the fact that each day brings a new Eight is Enough thread on the Datalounge.
My ranking of the kids from favorite to least: 1. Nancy (so beautiful, and the requisite "dumb blonde")
2. David (HOT)
3. Elizabeth (a cutie)
4. Susan (even though she is a complete nutball in real life, I thought she had a good energy on the show)
5. Mary (ultra serious, ALWAYS ready for an argument)
6. Joanie (always going on about being a taken seriously as an actress)
7. Nicholas (rotten little shit)
8. Tommy (absolutely despicable)

What happened to the real kids:
One of their sons, Thomas W. Braden III, a reporter on the Aspen Daily News and a specialist in the use of computers in investigative journalism, died in 1994 in a traffic accident near Gunnison, Colorado, at the age of 33. Survivors include seven children, David Braden of Taipei, Taiwan; Mary Braden Poole of Arlington, Virginia; Nicholas Braden of Washington, D.C.; Susan Braden of Takoma Park, Maryland; and Joannie Braden, Nancy Braden Basta, and Elizabeth Braden, all of Denver, Colorado, Braden also left 12 grandchildren.

R12 That aesthetic still seems to hold today. See Erik Per Sullivan from "Malcolm in the Middle" and Atticus Shaffer from "The Middle".
A little trivia: Mason Reese's mom (the actress Sonia Darrin) played Agnes Lowzier in "The Big Sleep" (1946).
Actually, Louie Anderson probably drove the proverbial stake into the heart of that show. The "colored guy" (love that) just drove a steamroller over the carcass.

R33, thanks again for the grant goodeve info on murder she wrote. love finding "hidden unknown gems"!
watching the episode for me andrew stevens seemed pretty how should i say "fey" to go with his boyish looks. goodeve came across as the real eye candy and sex on a stick!..
in real life a woman of lansbury's age would have begged to get it from both! laugh! (p.s. i have a huge fetish for seeing in movies/tv/soap operas even reading erotic fiction of a gorgeous musclebound built stud with a woman old enough to be his mother even grandmother whether thru blackmailed, paid as a gigolo, drugged or some other reverse power control trip where the "lesser" person in this case a horny old broad is the one with the power in the bedroom!
the idea that such a woman captures, conquers such a stud turns me on big time, in fact, the bigger the difference between the two in terms of looks, body and age the more it turns me on. okay, sorry i'm rambling here....

Hyland was diagnosed in 1977 with breast cancer and even though she had a double mastectomy, she never was once "recovered."
She met Travolta a year or so earlier on the set of "The Boy in the Plastic Bubble."
Of course the producers knew she was sick. Travolta himself, said, she never got better from any cancer surgery or treatment.

Susan Richardson was interviewed at least twice by one of those A Current Affair/Inside Edition/Extra shows in the late 90s and I cannot believe the evidence isn't on Youtube.
She was clearly not quite right in the first interview, but in the second she was openly displaying symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia. She was saying the end of the world was near and that one woman would stand up to battle the devil, and she was that woman. I think at some point, she was speaking in tongues.
She was living in a trailer in bumfuck, Pennsylvania with her mulleted husband who was probably 15 years younger than her.
It was really very sad. This was many years after the Korean incident.

EiE is just one of the shows I can't watch these days because it's so depressing to think about what happened to most of the kids on the show, same with Different Strokes. The other reason is that the show really should only be an hour long and not a full hour drama. It definitely fit into the genre of sitcom than it did into hour long drama. Family it was not! Even though the show was titled Eight is Enough, they really should've gotten rid of some of the kids, many of them blended together and it was hard to get familiar with them, similar to the problem The Facts of Life had it's first season before pairing down the cast to 4. Eight kids, plus two adults, plus the eventual addition of significant others was too much.

I always thought it was strange that EIE only had one child and the rest of the kids were adults or near adults (I think both Aames and Needham were almost 18 at the start of the show). It just seemed odd to have a show about living with 8 kids, when the majority of them were old enough to be living out on their own (and that's only taking into account their characters age, not the actors age...cough...Laurie Walters). It always seemed like such a stretch, especially as the years went on to have so many grown adults living with their parents. I realize that now people in their 20s living at home is not that unusual, but in the 70s it was odd. I know David had his own place, but I don't think any of the other kids ever moved out, did they? Maybe Susan and Merle? I know it was based on a non-fiction book, but they could have made some of the kids younger, just for some variety, because as was said upthread, a lot of the daughters seemed to blend into one another.

R191 other than David, all of the kids were either in high school or college (in Mary's case medical school). They all went to local schools and lived at home. Who could afford to send that many kids away to college? And the show only ran for 5 seasons.

There had to be eight kids because the show was based on a real family. The reason eight was enough was because the real parents were in a contest with RFK and Ethel to see who could outbreed the other. Tom Braden quit when he saw he might go broke in the contest, thus "Eight is Enough."
The casting crew did a good job catching the real personalities of each kid. The real life Mary had a mental breakdown in her teens while her Mom was touring India with Jackie Kennedy, and in the EIE book, Dad was alone in trying to deal with it.
The real life kids could be very unpleasant, and the book talks about that too.
The real Elizabeth was raped by a black guy and made pregnant (in 60s DC) the very Catholic Bradens suddenly had a liberal revelation about abortion.

There's a book about how TV shows have replaced stars who died. This was covered. Diana Hyland shot the pilot in the spring of '76 and was diagnosed with breast cancer a few weeks after. It seemed to be localized, so she had surgery and all seemed to be well.
The show sat on the shelf for a while and they started shooting the first season almost a year later, in January 1977. (In the meantime Mark Hamill had tried to get out of his contract and eventually crashed his car, etc.) Diana's cancer came back a few weeks before that in her spine and brain. She did four episodes and then couldn't come to the set anymore.
The producers didn't replace her because they loved her and wanted to teach the kids that people weren't expendable. (Ha!) ABC thought a single father of a huge family would make for some interesting storylines but wanted him remarried eventually.
Mariette Hartley had actually auditioned for Joan and came in second to Diana. I think they should have just recast with her, honestly. But they went with Betty because of "Carrie." Bad move, IMO. Betty was just weird, and having the mom die cast a pall over the show.

[quote] I know David had his own place, but I don't think any of the other kids ever moved out, did they?
There is a two-part episode where three of the older girls--Joanie, Nancy, and Susan--move out to live on their own, and the father is so furious he can't even speak to them. But all gets resolved and they eventually move back.
I think Mary lived in her own place too, IIRC, as well as David. But they were ALWAYS over.
I come from an extended Catholic family (we are the only branch who have lapsed), and my uncle has seven adult kids in Calfironia in the Bay Area, and they are constantly spending time together. It seems very weird to outsiders, but it's just their way: everyone the kids have married have had to accept they will spending large amounts of time with their spouse's extended family. So it's not unbelievable the Bradfords would have been like this, but it does seem weird they never mentioned their Catholicism on TV--you only really see this dynamic in Catholic families (or in Orthodox Jewish communities).

I come from a Catholic family myself, so I completely understand the super closeness of the extended families, I just didn't get why they would have five kids in their 20s living at home in the 70s. And I didn't think that they did a particularly good job of creating characters for the kids outside of the fact that Mary was in medical school and angry, and Joannie was an actress and flighty. Elizabeth, Susan and Nancy were pretty indistinguishable (and really so was Joannie outside of being the actress. Mary was the only one who stood out and I think it was because she was sort of butch and angry.
