What is your favorite episode of “One Day at a Time” (original show with Bonnie Franklin)?

I like the one where Barbara pretends to be on the pill.

The Julie/Chuck arc.

The one where Bonnie says-

Hold me David, I'm scared.

The one where Ann Romano slaps Julie.

R5- I was always borderline attracted to Schneider. If he wasn't such a goofball on the show I would have been more attracted to him.

I don't have one.

The one where I jerked off thinking about Michael Lembeck and Boyd Gaines after I watched it.

R13- Yes indeed. He's rather good looking in this late? 1960's movie.

The one where Julie kills Schneider with a screwdriver in a meth-fueled rage.

If I remember correctly, it was a Phillips head.

The one where Julie got fired.

The one where Ann shows her entire dental arch when she smiles.

The last one.

I never realized that Michael Lembeck is the brother of Heliene Lembeck, who was on Match Game, and played Judy Borden on Welcome Back Kotter. Kinda a poor man's Wendy Jo Spurber.

Hmm, I don’t recall many of these, but I did like the one where Alice Ghostley guest starred as the English teacher Miss (Boring) Loring, who misperceives that Barbara is a troubled student when Barbara turns in one of Julie’s old poems for her own.

by Anonymousreply 22January 8, 2023 8:01 PM

R22 yes! Barbara turned in a poem comparing her mother to a lioness baring her teeth to devour her young. The writing the first few years was great. And the last few years was pure shit. I'm surprised Norman Lear allowed it to slip so far.

Julie’s poem about Ann was called “The Fascist in Pantyhose.”

by Anonymousreply 24January 9, 2023 12:35 AM

The one where Ann does a long-stride run-walk to answer the door

by Anonymousreply 25January 9, 2023 12:37 AM

The writing was good until Mackenzie Phillips was fired.

by Anonymousreply 26January 9, 2023 12:47 AM

The one where they all scream at each other.

R10- Meanwhile you were thinking I want Greg Evigan

in me.

R26 Harry Hopeless?

Yeah. It started to go downhill when Julie got married. Then it fell off a cliff with Julie leaving, and Scoop Scarpelli coming in. And wonder bread Boyd Gaines.

The final year, when the action switched largely to Barbara, Mark, and Max (Julie abandoned her baby!) and Nanette Fabray, it was PURE GARBAGE. Only a few episodes look place in Ann's apartment that year. And Ann being married to Howard Hesseman didn't work. Or wasn't written correctly. They should've made a go of Ann being married story lines, instead of shifting to the younger cast members.

Pat Harrington was NOT happy with Bonnie Franklin. They offered a 10th year, which would've been a decent payday for him. But Bonnie turned it down flat. They offered to refocus the show around her again, but she'd had enough. The VERY last episode was a horrible backdoor pilot of Schneider moving to Florida to raise his dead brother's children, Robbie Rist and Cory Feldman. Can you even BEGIN to imagine?

What R26? Did you watch Brady Bunch today??
