I'd agree with that.

Though I think All in the Family definitely pushed it a little further.
And if you got rid of the abortion thing with Maude it wouldn't even be close.

One Day at a Time and Goodtimes definitely had the most drama behind the scenes. One Day at a Time because of Mackenzie Phillips drug addiction and Goodtimes because of the contriversial departures from the cast of John Amos and later Esther Rolle. But I agree that on screen All in the Family and Maude were the most dramatic.:wave:

well, since I haven't seen "Good Times" & "One Day at a Time" in YEARS, and "Maude" in about 3 years, I'll say "All In The Family"

What about the 4 part episode at the start of the 76-77 season? TV Guide called it TOO DRAMATIC

Why would anyone ever want to watch something depressing??

Dramatic, I completely understand (although thats not my thing).... but to watch something depressing is kind of stupid.

I want to analyze One Day a Time for myself to see if i agree with the TV Guide Critic about how depressing certain episodes were.

I remember a two parter where Barbara(Valerie Bertinelli) ignores a girl who desperately wants to be her friend. She becomes depressed when Barbara yells at her so she tries to commit suicide by overdosing on pills. It was real good.

There's a difference between being dramatic and being depressing.
A big difference.

I meant to say Dramatic

I think the 4 parter you are thinking of is called "The Runaways"

Yeah that's it.

Hey Solomon, if you get your hands on One Day at a Time, do you mind running me off a copy? I really would like to get reaquainted with that show.

If it was, from what I remember, yea, that was dramatic.

Yes that's it

All of Norman Lear's shows had a lot of dramatic moments in it. The only one that didn't was Sanford & Son.

And the Jeffersons

Can''t help you on the poll because I think Barney mller beats them all in the drama/comedy category.

Def All in the family........ No other show in my opinion as good as that is!
