I agree with the other reviewer. For me, watching Family was all about Kristy McNichol. We share the same age. I loved this show so much that when I started college in the early '80s, I used to cut class just to watch the reruns on cable TV. (VCRs were a luxury those days). I remember the first episode I watched from this show was the one where Buddy (Kristy) was all upset because her older sister (played by Meredith Baxter-Birney) was going to name her baby boy Timmy after a brother they lost in an accident years earlier. I also recall the episode when her mother Kate had a premonition of a car accident involving her and a little boy, and the car was red. She had to leave her car in the shop and they borrowed hera car, and the car was red! I also remember the special bond between Buddy and her older brother Willie. This was a great show. Is it available in DVD?

I never saw this movie, didn't know it was a movie when I bought the album back in 1978. I loved the soundtrack album, I wish they would reissue it in CD. I have a Greatest Hits album that includes On the shelf, but I also liked the other songs, specially Falling In Love (it was great), the instrumental version of May Tomorrow Be a Perfect Day, and that cover they did that went like this "Baby, now that I found you I can't let you go, I built my world around you, I need you so, baby even though you don't need me..." One day I had that song playing and my older brother said "Wow, that's a very old song!". He remembered the original; for me it was new. Later I heard the original (I don't remember the title of the tune), but I still prefer Donny & Marie's version.I really enjoyed (and still do) their music and their TV show when I was a teenager. God bless them both!
