I saw this show when it aired on TV Land on Christmas in 2001. I thought it was amazing. The one thing I liked most about the show is Heather Langenkamp who played the character Marie. I remember her best playing the tough, fearless, and strong Nancy Thompson from Wes Craven's 1984 horror hit A Nightmare On Elm Street. She really turned heads when she co-starred in that film. I was surprised to see that she co-starred in this sitcom. However, she was totally different when playing in this show. I've written to the TBS, KSMO WB 62, Hallmark Channel, USA, and KCWE 29 Network and requested that they bring this hit sitcom back on the air. Other viewers want this show to air on the Nick at Nite, and the TV Land Network and so do I.

I wasn't that big a fan of this when I first saw it, and watched mostly to see Brooke Theiss. Years later I thoroughly enjoyed SAVANNAH, and until recently became involved in a five- and-a- half year search for it, during which I learned that the show's main protagonist Jamie Luner was in MELROSE PLACE and JUST THE TEN OF US. Which meant searching was on for this one as well. I have since then only managed to see one episode I could download. My provider doesn't allow streaming so I can forget about YouTube, how cruel life is. I'd have been only too thankful to see some more episodes, but I don't suppose there is any kind-hearted souls out there who'd download me some onto a cellphone memory card, no hope there, this being the bad old 21st Century. But I'd hope and hope here on this side at my gmail.com address. Unfortunately, I remember too little to do a proper review, I was just always freaked out by the Coach dancing about in his striped pajamas. Arghh! Now everything with Jamie Luner in it is a worthy collectible to me, and I am offering a reward for any except the episode that starts off with Brooke climbing through the kitchen window and landing in the sink, because I got that one. A lesson here: Some things get more valuable with the passage of time. Come back JUST THE TEN OF US, striped pajamas and all!

Just the Ten of Us was a wonderful show. It had that thing that makes shows and movies so special. It was way better than Growing Pains, the show that spun Just the Ten of Us off. Bill Kirchenbauer was the funniest of all the cast. I recall he was going into one of his classes and was coming from track practice. He had the starting pistol and when the class wouldn't be quiet, he fired it into the air and everyone rushed to their desks. So funny.

I love this show... I only started watching because Heather Langenkamp was in it and I was (and am) a fan of hers from the Nightmare days, but then I realized that I truly enjoyed every episode.

I miss the show a lot...it was the only funny thing on that insipid TGIF line-up and once it was gone, ABC couldn't find a replacement that would stay for longer than a season...should have tipped them off to not bow to Miller-Boyette.

The humour was right on, if you were not too uptight to catch it or to laugh at yourself if you found it too close to home, and every episode was endearing and fun.

"Car in the Pool" is my favourite with "Highway to Heaven" coming in next, and "Heartbreaker" and "Radio Days"...*etc, etc, etc*

What can I say about this show? This show is what got me interested in network television shows albeit I was very young when this show aired originally ( around 7 or 8) I still got hooked. And now when I get lucky enough to find one of my old VHS tapes that still is watchable I find that the show ages well. It is just as funny now as it was then, well I mean some of the jokes are a little cornier now but thats cool. The show, to me at least, defined what TGIF was to young people of my generation. Growing up in the early 90s and late 80s its what you did. On Friday night you watched TGIF and this show was a great addition to that line up. Too bad ABC canceled the show in its prime.
