I only remember it happening once for each, and each time Ann was mad. Ann called Julie by her full name when Julie kept going on and on about that private school and that Beverly girl. Ann called Barbara by her full name when Barbara was pretending to be on the pill. It's funny because Barbara knows immediately that she's in trouble, LOL. Like most parents, Ann only used their full names when they were in serious trouble. Those scenes were funny. By the way, they had really good full names. Julie Laura Cooper and Barbara Jean Cooper. I wish there had been an episode telling us how Ed and Ann picked those names because I liked them.

Thank you! Proud to be here. I used to watch this show as a kid and have started back. I like the early seasons the best.

A real life daughter? I thought Bonnie Franklin only had step-sons.

I am still curious where they got the names.
