Seen through season 9.

Yes, it's hokey at times but it's a family show created in the 70's when situations had to be resolved in an hour & yes, it ran for so many seasons I didn't even see most of the latter half, but this is one of the greatest family shows of all time that would serve ANY family well to watch now. Woke types will complain about too many whites but purposely ignore the great episodes about racism or Indians. Mainstream tv will show you a Muslim family being awesome now - what about a Christian one?

Some episodes were really really good and some were really really bad.

Early seasons would give a 96. Later seasons would give a 40.

Had it at 100 off memory respect lool pilot was okay and doubt show would be more than 75 even with fav shit. and next 2 eps 70 so fair prediction. shoulda updated this months ago when i remembered better. they're such assholes to mary lmao and i like it less as she fades and leaves, and isnt even in the finale movie. laura's aging attitude was kinda too abrupt but i like how it feels like a new era. real rating would prob be 65-70 but love+nostalgia. i didnt really like when they left WG/lessCh

Similar to The Waltons as a family period drama but with a much better cast and interesting plots.
