It's great to see this show again!
Thanks so much for the notice! It's on Season 1 episode 20ish right now. Maybe another month before Season 3 starts
share It's interesting to watch this (on Cozi TV) and observe the attitudes of the
early '70s. An episode earlier this week centered on a Vietnam vet who complains
that his wife has become "so independent" in the years he's spent overseas that
she's gotten a well-paying job to support herself and their son. (He expects her
to automatically quit her job and take care of the Vietnamese "orphan" he
brought with him--who's actually his biological son). Today's episode concerns
a woman who's about to be married--but can't tell her fiance, or even her own mother, that she was
recently raped. She's so ashamed that she doesn't report the crime, and her
fiance is furious at her for not telling him. Yeah, that's the mentality
of many people just 40 years ago.
I'm not crying, you fool, I'm laughing!
Hewwo.
Some people react to rape exactly that way today. It's not a temporal attitude, it's psychological response to trauma.

I just saw this show for the first time and was really disturbed by the plot of a woman who refused to have her daughter treated for deafness. She came across as an ignorant, horrible mother and that deafness was something to be ashamed of. Wow. They finally explained halfway through the ep that her brother had been deaf and their parents subjected him to many expensive, useless (sometimes painful) treatments. Still, to think that people back then were that wary of scientific breakthroughs that they wouldn't go to the doctor at all...
Funny how today's ep was remarkably the same. Guy with really bad rheumatoid arthritis refused treatment because the treatments 30 years prior had been experimental, useless and painful. Didn't want to talk to any doctors. Strange mindset. Today you hear more of people refusing treatment out of denial rather than flat out distrust of doctors and treatments.
The people you idolize wouldn't like you.
Very nice to see again! It's been years..
shareI was having a great time watching this on COZI, till my wife pointed out that all the commercials are for AARP, lift chairs and incontinence products! Ha ha!
shareI just watched a DVD that someone had recorded and the episode was about funeral home rip-offs. The very first commercial was for one of those senior life insurance policies so your kids could afford to bury you. The juxtaposition was hilarious.
