The epsiode I remember from this show is probably the one that everyone who watched rememebers most. This one is "Go to The Head of the Class." I was probably 10 or 11 when I first saw it and enjoyed watching it with my older brother and sister. It is packed with moments that make you jump. Now that I am older, I enjoy when it comes on TV and still jump at the shocks. Christopher Lloyd is brilliant as the cruel teacher. The way he says Mr. Braaaand and Miss Simpson will always be a standout. The kids do well also. The music by Alan Silvestri is fantastic and chilling. This is a scary episode, but a lot of fun! So don't lose your head and catch it next time it comes on cable.
This film in one word is incredible. I was born the year that this film won best picture in (1980) and after twenty years it still maintains its magnificence.
Mary Tyler Moore, Donald Sutherland, and Timothy Hutton are wonderful as three family members who begin coping with the loss of Hutton's older brother long into the aftermath. Judd Hirsch is also sensational as Hutton's doctor.
Moore plays the cold, unfeeling mother with acute accuracy and heartbreaking realism. Hutton is a standout in this ensemble cast. At the ripe age of 20 he won the best supporting actor Oscar. Hirsch was also nominated in the same category. Hutton is extremely believable. He plays his vulnerable role with realistic simplicity, never overacting for Oscar.
Redford must also be commended. He proved he is not only a great actor, but also a great director as well. The use of Pachelbel's Canon in D provides a perfect tone for the film.
This film lead to other great motion pictures on the subject of the dysfunctional family, The Ice Storm and American Beauty to name a couple.
This film is timeless and a must see for all movie fans.

The Ice Storm is one of the best films to ever deal with the dynamics among the members of the dysfunctional family. Christina Ricci, Joan Allen, Tobey Maguire, well pretty much everyone is Oscar-worthy in this film. The direction by Ang Lee is perfect and the cinematography beautiful. American Beauty is getting a lot of the praise this film first deserved. Critics loved it, but it did not have a big advertising budget and thus did not reach many audiences. If you have not rented this, do so. You will not be disappointed!
