View Full Version : Season 5 Discussion
TVFactFan 03-05-2026, 12:45 AM Well season 5 starts tomorrow and looked at the opening on youtube and found it funny that you see all those shots of Downtown Indianapolis like it had a skyline and was big like NYC or Chicago. The city actually has a somewhat of a skyline now. None of those buildings was there in Fall of 79
I cant tell if the building at :43 in the opening is still there today. Reminds me of Hartford CT

In 1982 they started building the Hoosier Dome in the city. The Colts started playing there in 1984, four months after ODAAT’s last episode aired. Their first game there, they lost to the Jets.

Thats right the colts left baltimore
TVFactFan 03-06-2026, 12:18 AM I wonder why Ann didnt request to move to another seat inside the class because of the creepy horny guy sitting next to her. He was a fckin weirdo:lol:
The black girl sitting in front of Ann in class would have been my type if I was her age in 79 lol She has that look l go for in a woman.........."someone who has no idea she is attractive"
And that teacher played the 2nd Mr. Whittendale on the jeffersons
And Ann asked Barbara did she want her to take another class and she said no so why the hell was she complaining? lol
TVFactFan 03-06-2026, 12:47 AM I think if I was Brad I would have broke it off with Barbara too and let me explain why. Brad just wanted some kind of affection since they were a couple. Light make out session that didnt have to lead to sex. If Im in a relationship with someone and she never wants to hug and kiss me? lol Barbara kept stopping when she would kiss him. So he probably felt she wasnt attracted to him. You cant be in a relationship with someone and be alone and not have no kind of affection at all. AGAIN it didnt have to lead to sex she her showing affection
So maybe Barbara was more for suited for Bob and didnt realize it:lol:

Bonniegirl 03-06-2026, 02:11 AM The weird guy in the glasses and curly hair. Just wait, he makes another appearance and you think he.was weird in this episode, he's alot more creepy in the next one!
Bonniegirl 03-06-2026, 02:18 AM I was about 5 or 10 minutes into watching the second episode with Barbara and the boyfriend and fell asleep . I was up early because I had some work today. Laid down in the bed to watch One day at a time and was out like a light and missed most the second episode. Woke up when my hubby came and the Jefferson's was on.

Thank you for being honest.. I can tell your having a hard time right now and your taking it out on me..
You do this because you know I wont turn on you...
Would you please tell us whats going on in your life?
I can help you feel better so you dont need to cut down people to make yourself feel better... That wont help buddy!!
Getting things in the OPEN will help. I feel bad they blocked you on CD and I wanna help you... Please share whats wrong .. No one here is mad at you ok?
We love you Solomon :)

No time now, but tomorrow I’m going to strongly disagree with this take.
No, Brad wanted sex. All the way stuff. I’m not blaming him here, but Barbara wasn’t ready. She’d stop him when he was becoming too aggressive. Light make out they were having. He wanted more.

Season 8 ( or is season 7, Opus? ) waited for her wedding night . But SPOILER ALERT, almost lost her virginity before her wedding night at some point.

As of season 8 episode 3, Barbara is officially getting down and dirty.

Bonniegirl 03-06-2026, 06:31 PM TvFactfan. The other day I spotted Lawrence Hilton - Jacobs on Diagnosis Murder from 1995. He was 20 years older than when he played Washington on Welcome back Kotter,but I knew him right away from his eyes and his voice.
He was really
good in a dramatic role, playing a sergeant in the marines. So used to seeing him in a comedy role.:)

I’m gonna let Bonnie handle the Max/Fred talk. I’ll just do the Oh My God thing. It was a sitcom that started mid ‘70s. As you know, many of those seemingly needed to try and get a catchphrase. Yes, Oh My God was their attempt. It shall continue.

Yeah. A little bit or rather a LOT far fetched that would happen. Julie having not one, but two men who were both good looking completly falling in love with her on a ski weekend vacation. To the point that both wanted tobmarry her !,And the fact that they were best friends.
It pretty much showed Max as being a total jerk and Fred being totally stupid. But Max ends up a good guy and a good addition to the cast. And I ended up developing a major crush on him watching ODAAT back when Antenna showed this the first time.
Love me some Michael Lembeck/ Max . His Sister is Helaine Lembeck, Judy from Welcome back Kotter. :)

Asparagus is delicious ! And back in 1979 it wasn't really that popular. As a kid and a teenager I remember my Mother serving it only on special occasions, company coming for dinner or something. Because it was too expensive to have as a regular every night veggie like broccoli, peas or green beans. :D
But now I have it alot . It doesn't seem that outrageously expensive to me.:D I love it!
Bonniegirl 03-07-2026, 06:20 AM Opus , Did I miss it , or did Antenna cut out the girls coming to the door for the" kitchen shower " after Julie decided to call the wedding off? I didn't remember that scene tonight? Remember before we were trying to figure out who Marcy and Karen were in the group of girls at the door?
Dude111 03-07-2026, 07:56 AM Asparagus is delicious ! Yes Opus especially Cream of Asparagus soup :)

Oh sure, Max shows up and you stay awake. But some guy trys to coerce Barbara and you fall right to sleep :mad::)
I thought Antenna always cut that scene. I didn’t watch last night.
The one thing I’ll add about the Julie wedding storyline is you gotta admit, it fits Julie.
Yeah I noticed she says it a lot. And BTW i loved asparagus just like Fred:lol:

But can you wiggle your ears?

It sure does! :cool:
Bonniegirl 03-07-2026, 04:52 PM One day at a time is on Antenna on Saturdays from 1 to 2 PT / 4 to 5 ET. They play back episodes. Very cool if one was missed during a weekday or an episode you especially liked and want to see it again. Today is Father David and Barbara's emergence . So they aren't playing them in order.

Oh wow he is? I had a RETRO CRUSH judy since I was on 2 when WBK aired lol
TVFactFan 03-09-2026, 10:31 PM Im going to be honest I am never going to like the Max character. And its because how he ended up on the show. By being a slimball and having feelings for his friend soon to be wife. And when I saw him in the opening credits tonight I wanted to throw up lol So yes Max is never going to be a character that I will accept since he was so awful to his friend
Then in tonight's episode he walking in the bathroom without knocking and see the door shut. So when Julie is missing for a while he is max off the show?:lol:

LOL hell no
TVFactFan 03-09-2026, 10:45 PM This show has made think of my own mother. Everything that Ann's mother said to her is what my mom says to me
You never call me :lol: And I guess since she is older now that is how she talks because 25 years ago I would go 4 weeks without talking to her and she wouldnt say a word. And when grandmom romano told barbara u will make a great mother because u have the talent to make people feel guilty:lol:
And I bet if texting existed back then Ann mother would be texting her all the time like my mom does me
Bonniegirl 03-10-2026, 12:42 AM Oh wow he is? I had a RETRO CRUSH judy since I was on 2 when WBK aired lol

Believe me Max does get nicer. It was pretty messed up how he was introduced in the show as stealing his best friends girl. But the whole thing was far fetched how it all happened that Julie and Fred would have been that much in love to have to get into a such a quick marriage! :crazy::D
And Michael Lembeck in real life is s really good guy. Very good at comedic acting . He and John Ritter / Jack were friends in real life and after all he is Judy's Brother!
I think he is so cute! Besides Max, I've seen him in many other roles. Very much a major crush of mine for a while now! :)

Don’t worry. At one point Max says once a year Fred sends him a thank you card. So Fred’s happy with the way things ended up.
But when Julie is not on the show what is the Max character on the show doing?
Being in Houston with Julie (he’s not in any of season 6 either)

I know . It was terrible back than. Girls were so pressured to be skinny in order to be considered pretty or sexy. A girl with a cute body but a few pounds was considered fat. It led a lot of young women to anorexia , to the point of even starving to death.:(
You are younger than Opus and I , but their was a singer named Karen Carpenter. Started out as a cute girl, not heavy , but healthy looking. Thought she was too fat and became a skeleton and she literally died. Not skinny from drugs , just excessive s dieting and vomiting after eating anything. :(
This was very sad. Good old days and all. But the 70's and 80's did have it's problems like this. Girls wanting to be thin. Either going the anorexia route or doing meth or cocaine to be thin. Which might have been part of the problem with Julie/ MacKenzie Phillips back than!:(
All the problems in the world these days but at least women don't have you be real thin anymore to feel beautiful. It's OK to have a little weight on us now :)
Bonniegirl 03-10-2026, 01:37 AM Don’t worry. At one point Max says once a year Fred sends him a thank you card. So Fred’s happy with the way things ended up.

I have a crush on this thin lady at my job which is shocking because I normally not attracted to thin women. But her hair and her eyes make it seem like she should be in the movies lol
Was Karen Carpenter a singer?

Was Karen Carpenter a singer?
Yes. She and her Brother Richard were in a music group called " The Carpenters" Had a bunch of hits in the pop music/ easy listening genre in the 70's and early 80's. Then she literally died, starved herself to death from anorexia . She had it in her mind that her normal weight was fat. It was so I sad when she passed away. She had a really pretty singing voice and was so cute at first before she lost so much weight and became a skeleton. :(

Foggy 03-10-2026, 04:50 PM Yeah I think Al Bundy made a reference to them on Married with Children
Yes the Carpenters were humorously referenced in "Married With Children," including a scene where Al Bundy's toilet played their song "We've Only Just Begun."
Karen Carpenter died in 1983 at the age of 32.
She had a voice known as an "Angelic Voice"
with a distinctive three-octave contralto range.

TVFactFan 03-10-2026, 11:30 PM The Small wonder episode was so predictable. As soon as I saw the tutor was 13 I was like......."he is going to be crushing on Barbara" That guy who played the tutor was also on Diffrent strokes as one of willis friends when they was put in Jail
TVFactFan 03-10-2026, 11:35 PM Ann looked soooooooooooo pitiful in the ET tu Ann episode. Coming on to her male assistant at her house and then everyone found out about it including her boss. And if Craig wanted to keep things professional why the hell did he go to her house on a saturday night? He had to know what that meant.
And why is max calling Ann shorty? He annoyed me again

Yep. And that episode wouldn't fly nowadays. Barbara would have to tell him straight up that he's too young and No way would she go on a date with him. Even though to her it wasn't a date, but if the kid got the word around that he was dating an 18 year old, Barbara could get in big trouble. :eek:
But I thought it was a pretty good episode.
How about Ann's alleged sexual harassment ? That guy was such a wimp! :D I thought this episode was the better of the two today, and Max was there , that always makes a better ep. for me. :)

Well, Ann had the steaks for dinner thinking Barbara and Julie were going to be there for dinner. When she found out they were going out is when she got the idea to have a business dinner with Craig. Big mistake having wine at business dinner at your house with a man you find attractive. I think Ann got kind of loose from the wine , and the kiss kind of happened. I don't think she planned to have him over to seduce him.
When he didn't respond well to the first kiss, she surely should not have kissed him again. But I think he overreacted and acted like a wimp. Ann really did end up looking a fool! :lol:
The Shorty thing was something that was came for Max to call Ann, that she didn't mind . She didn't like him calling her Mother Romano !:D. Ahh, I hope you get to like Max ! I think you will like him going up against Schneider in an upcoming season 5 ep. " Male jealousy".

Barbara seems more than 5 years older than him, almost like 10. So when he said their second date will be in 1990 and he will be 23 and she would be 28 was like.....Oh they only 5 years apart? She looked like she could be his aunt:lol:
And Ann was THIRSTY!!! lol When Mr. Connors was listening outside the door I was like......."Ann about to be fired lol

I like Natalie Cole version and Tony Bennettt

TVFactFan 03-11-2026, 09:51 PM well I was so confused watching the episode Larceny tonight because i had no clue what the hell football cards was until Schneider mentioned at the end of the episode it was football betting cards for betting on the game. Well call them football slips in 2026 lol And its funny now that betting on football is legal in almost every state lol And the guy who was in jail with Schneider was MAX from Threes Company lol
TVFactFan 03-11-2026, 09:59 PM The second episode hit home a little because I had a mild heart attack in 2018 and was in my apt with chest discomfort. And had to end up getting a cardiologist. So since then I had to change the way I eat and havent had no issues since.
I noticed the cardiologist in this ep was Archie Bunker's boo thang in Archie Bunkers place lol And why the hell did Max asked her will ann still be able to have sex? Max continues to be a weirdo. I wonder if that will change eventually???:lol:
I wanted to ask does this ep follow the next and Ann is coming home from hospital? Or is she seen in the next episode like nothing never happened??

I know. Not this time, but when Antenna was running One day at a time a few years ago , I thought the same thing. I didn't realize betting on football games was this big of a deal , and this would put a person in jail? :confused::D
It was cute how naive Barbara was about it. I would have been too. :)
Something that was strange in that episode , when Schneider was dancing with the umbrella singing Raindrops keep falling on my head . They showed the dining room, and the kitchen was closed off . Meaning like on All in the family and Mary Tyler Moore show , the kitchen could be closed off or opened, Not sure how to explain it ? If I'm making sense? But I never saw this on One day at a time before.
Bonniegirl 03-11-2026, 10:11 PM Ann's heart attack episode, even though Max was in it , I like that.:) But all in all , not a favorite of mine. Kind of sad and depressing. :( Barbara's hair looked cute in this episode though. Back in barrettes and the bangs were cute.:)

I think the camera man didnt pan all the way over to the right which is why you didnt see the kitchen and why it looked closed off
Yes gambling wasnt considered legal back then it was all underground. Thats why Brent Musberger the host of NFL today had to speak in hidden codes when giving out betting information on the games. So when the show came on and it showed a live shot of the stadium and the sun was out, bettors new it was ok to take the over on pts since it wasnt raining. His famous phrase was............."You are looking Live" letting bettors know this is the weather condition as of right now
I made on bet in highschook my step dad knew a BOOKIE who could get me a betting slip but it was all illegal. Now you see commercials with DRAFTKINGS lol

Whoa! Glad you are OK, and got your heart condition under control. Heart problems run in my family and I already have high blood pressure, under control but Drs.are always warning me of heart attack and stroke risks. :eek:
Yeah, I thought that was who the Dr. was. Archie's girlfriend. Pretty lady. :)
And yeah, I admit the sex comment by Max was weird, but that was how the writers had it written for him . He becomes generally more likeable as time goes on. :)

Yeah, football betting cards were the DraftKings of the pre internet age. My father used to buy them (not sell them)
Jimmy the Greek on CBS was also big on talking about gambling without actually talking about gambling.

"Schneider is jealous of you because you are young with a wife and a bright future have your whole life ahead of you with a bright future, your best years lie ahead"
DAMM Julie:lol: Almost sounds like what Edith said to Mike about Archie
TVFactFan 03-12-2026, 10:27 PM In the New years eve episode, the first two acts from Schneider and Ann's mom had me ready to turn off the episode. And then Barbara came out lookin sexy with black stockings and singing. For a split second I thought she was sitting on a old man's lap:lol: Then schneider and max came out with their act reminding me of bugs and tweety on sat morning cartoons lol And the final act with All the ladies on the bike:lol:
Defintely made up for the first two acts. it took me a minute to realize that the old guy was the creep on Three's company who was into Transwomans:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Yeah. Really. I remember when Edith said that to Mike , it was similar to Julie and Max. .And Ann and Barbara were inside telling Schneider the same stuff that Julie was telling Max out in the hall .That Max was jealous of Schneider because he was a bachelor. :lol:
When Max said " His piece of roast beef is bigger than mine" , and all hell breaks loose! :lol::D That dinner really sounded good. Roast beef, mashed potatoes, broccoli , rolls ! :)

Yeah. The first act with Grandma was really bad! I think that's why right after they had Barbara out being cute right after. And Max and Schneider were doing an old Vaudeville type act. That was popular in the old days, I'm gonna say between 1920's- 1930's? People were entertained by corny stuff back than! I thought it was pretty fun actually. :D
And it's always nice seeing Nedra Volz / Adelaide from Different Strokes. She's a funny old lady. I love to see her pop up in sitcoms. :)

Something different ? Maybe Ann was really bored of the cookout after a few years. And nice of Max for wanting to include his wife's family. Exciting, flying out of town for a big fancy dinner party. But at that point, I think Ann and Barbara just wanted to keep the peace, so either way where they went wasn't important. :)
But Barbara was upset she didn't get to have a new dress like Julie did. So I guess it really was OK with her to go with Schneider. :D
Bonniegirl 03-13-2026, 12:40 AM Yes how could I forget my girl Adelaide lol Love her on anything she starred in
Me too! I love her. With her glasses and white hair in a bun. :)

So in Happy New Year II the only date Barbara could get was with Elliot? Yeah, right.
Yes. She was on lots of stuff. She was great, a sweetheart and so funny!:)

Uh oh, she's going to be in quite a lot more episodes down the road. By season 9, like every episode. I like Grandma though. She has some funny lines. And funny how she picks at Ann like a real older Mother does to an adult Daughter. :D
I guess you didn't like Schneider the model the two guys you don't like getting drunk. :crazy:
TVFactFan 03-13-2026, 09:57 PM well let me start with the Schneider the model episode. Schneider all happy he was offered a job as a model and turned out to be something he wasnt expecting lol I didnt like the 2nd half of the episode because I never ever been a fan of drunk sitcom characters. And it went on a bit too long to the point we never see him sober the remainder of the episode. I wasnt expecting the episode to end with him max drunk. I thought we would see Ann again with him sober.
BTW the reporter who was interviewing schneider also played a reporter in 1st season of jeffersons
TVFactFan 03-13-2026, 10:01 PM Triple Play was the most entertaining episode of ODAAT since I started watching the show. I was not expecting that man to ask barbara out on a date. And i definitely wasnt expecting Barbara to accept lol Then he made a play for Ann and wasnt expecting him to make a play for Grandmom romano lol Then he steals Schneiders date at the end lol
That was Nora simpson from Sanford and son lol
And that made who made a play for all 3 of them looked just like MR BEAN:lol::lol::lol::lol:

You thought that was the best episode yet? That's funny cause it's Opus's least favorite. And I put it somewhere in the middle. Not great but not bad.

I didnt understand that wig at all lol
Bonniegirl 03-13-2026, 11:30 PM How old was that man supposed to be? he looked same as schneider lol
I looked up the actor, because I recognized him from guest starring on Green Acres. Born 1939 , so 40 years old in real life. I guess that's the age or around that age he was supposed to be. Ann would have been the perfect age for him. But Barbara was too young and Grandma too old. :D
Bonniegirl 03-13-2026, 11:33 PM I didnt understand that wig at all lol
Because alot of men who were stylin' wore their hair like thst back than. But younger guys than Schneider. Like the hip clothes he was wearing too. :lol:
Not least favorite. I have it 125/209. I have it one spot above the first Happy New Year. I honestly don’t remember why :confused:
I dug into that thread and here was my thinking, cut and pasted…
>>> Higher then a bunch of episodes I'd rather watch (i.e., most of them), but based on the screentime thing, that's where it goes<<<
Remember, I was ranking them based on how much Barbara was in them.

Her accepting that date is definitely most shocking moment of ODAAT so far. I dont think nothing will shock me more than that

If Barbara had shot him down and he started working his way through the other two I’d probably like it better. The triple play could have been Ann, Grandma, and then the surprise of Schneider’s date at the end.

I didnt understand at the end why ann barbara and grandmom romano all had to go in the bathroom with schneider to fix water situation AND shut the door:lol: Normally someone only shuts the door when they in their alone and going to the bathroom

Well, the obvious answer is they needed a way to get the guy and Schneider’s date alone. But I know you hate answers like that.
I’ll give them that everyone would panic when the pipe burst (hell, something like happened to me a few weeks ago but it wasn’t in the bathroom, it was from a dishwasher) and rush into the bathroom, but I don’t have a reason why they’d shut the door behind them :shrug:

>>> Higher then a bunch of episodes I'd rather watch (i.e., most of them), but based on the screenti5⅝me thing, that's where it goes<<<
Remember, I was ranking them based on how much Barbara was in them.
That's true. And Barbara was in this one alot. :)
Bonniegirl 03-15-2026, 02:34 AM LOL He was like.........Cut class and come with me
If Barbara had dated him and he turned out not to be a playa, flirting with Ann, Grandma and eventually leaving with Schneider's date , it kind of would be like Julie and the older man in Season 3 .;)

This show can be very predictable. But the only things I seen so far that wasnt predictable was
Ann not moving away from crazy elliot in 1st ep of season 5
Barbara agreeing to go out with a old assss man
Schneider coming in the house with that wig on
I didnt think the bathroom was that big:lol::lol:
One of the best looks at the bathroom was with David and Chuck back in season one. It may have grown over the years.

TVFactFan 03-16-2026, 09:58 PM Well I see tonight in So long Mom its explained that Julie and Max is moving to Houston. So how is Max still on the show if the julie character on the show. I was thinking when Barbara moved out we was going to see her new place with the 5 girls and a guy that barbara didnt mention. But the episode didnt go in that direction
I dont know what the issue was with them moving. He had a job opportunity in another state and he was going to be independent. Isnt that what Ann wanted??? lol
TVFactFan 03-16-2026, 10:02 PM Grandmom romano shows up again with her annoying assss in Old Horizon. Who the hell wants to work in same office as their mom???? There is actually a mother and daughter at my current job who works together. Couldnt be me lol
I love me some Mr. Connors:lol::lol: Lot better than Davenport
What state was Grandmom romano suppposed to be living in

I think she can be both happy for them but still sad they’re moving away at the same time.
I got a question about Antenna (didn’t see it today). Do they still cut the very beginning with Barbara and Ann? The best way for me to ask is did you hear Barbara call Max a beard with an appetite?

I was thinking this episode was going to be like the one from Married with children when Al and Peg went to visit bud on campus and saw his roommates
I was thinking Schneider and Ann was going to do that with Barbara and discovered that its a boy living there:lol:

I am definitely going to enjoy both eps tonight
Elliot at 8pm and my man Bobby at 830:wave:
Elliot will probably annoy you, but he’s supposed to annoy you. The Bob one I got in my top ten.
TVFactFan 03-17-2026, 10:41 PM Elliot was so pathetic in this episode. Handcuffing himself so he can stay in the house. All the singing and gifts. Do we see this fool again? lol also do we see the guy greg again that barbara went on a date with?
I still cant believe that the guy who played Elliot also played that lawyer on TC. I gotta watch that TC ep again tonight
TVFactFan 03-17-2026, 10:47 PM The Bob episode was so good I was disappointed when it ended. Definitely in my top 5 for season 5.
And Bob probably was like I dont get many opportunities so I am going to hold on to this beauty:lol: I dont care about her past I only care about now. Is that the last we see of Bob? I was thinking that Barbara was going to tell him and he was going to be like..........."oh so u jealous and trying to break us up":lol: But she never told him.

One more Elliot appearance to come but he’s not a big part of the episode. No more Greg.

Yeah, there’s an actual storyline connecting the clips.
Lucille Ball does NOT come to the apartment.
I know! But I loved Girl with a past. I'm a little bit better. ;)
And today a little bit more betterer?
TVFactFan 03-18-2026, 06:05 PM Yeah, there’s an actual storyline connecting the clips.
Lucille Ball does NOT come to the apartment.
I can relate to the storyline. 14 years ago in Feb of 2016, I was informed by landlord that the building was being sold and my lease was ending on May 31st. They was turning the apt into condos and was told I can select one first before its advertised. of course I was forced to move to the apt I am in now and been here ever since.
TVFactFan 03-18-2026, 10:25 PM Well the retrospective was pretty good. Like I said I was able to relate because my apt was converted into a condo 10 years ago and I had to relocate because I had no money for a condo. That was my last time dealing with a private landlord.
This could have been a cool 3 part finale to end the show. Showing flashbacks while they prepare to relocate and move out.
TVFactFan 03-18-2026, 10:27 PM And the julie character mentioned that it was happening all over the country around that time and of course I had to check
TVFactFan 03-18-2026, 10:38 PM Article from 1979 Philly daily news about city council banning apt conversion into condos
Bonniegirl 03-19-2026, 04:25 PM And today a little bit more betterer?
Yes. And done with work. Not that I was gravely ill or anything, but a little under the weather and it happened on the time I was working , which made it worse. :(
Bonniegirl 03-19-2026, 04:28 PM Now I can get back into the discussions again ! YAY! Nothing upcoming in substitute caregiving that I have to work the miss ODAAT shift!:)
Bonniegirl 03-19-2026, 04:32 PM And the julie character mentioned that it was happening all over the country around that time and of course I had to check
Oh. Now I know why you and Opus were in a big discussion about this. It's been so long since I've seen that two parter. But the reason for it was going down memory lane because they thought they might be forced to move from the apt. right?
TVFactFan 03-19-2026, 04:36 PM Yes. And done with work. Not that I was gravely ill or anything, but a little under the weather and it happened on the time I was working , which made it worse. :(

Yes they thought their apt building was being converted into a condo. That actually happened to me 10 years ago and thats how I ended up at the apt im at now. If that never happened I would still be there
And the julie character mentioned that it was happening all over the country around that time and of course I had to check
Would Julie lie to you?
Oh. Now I know why you and Opus were in a big discussion about this. It's been so long since I've seen that two parter. But the reason for it was going down memory lane because they thought they might be forced to move from the apt. right?
It was all Helen’s fault.

Bonniegirl 03-19-2026, 08:34 PM nope but it was another one of those indirect history lessons lol
Yep. I love how in old sitcoms they bring up major current events that were going on back in the day. It is very much a history lesson. ;)
Who is Helen? :confused:
The woman on the phone Schneider was seeing who kept calling with the inside info on the conversion except it was the building of the other guy she was seeing that was going condo, not ours.

Bonniegirl 03-19-2026, 11:22 PM Antenna cut so much out of the first scene in the French restaurant. The discussion about trying the snails. And that was a major funny scene too, bad place to cut out :(

And Ann was like WTF when the guy was taking away the coffee table and later when Max said " A guy came in and made off with the coffee table" . And Ann says " WHY" with her funny hand gestures . Hilarious! I love this episode.:lol:
Bonniegirl 03-19-2026, 11:26 PM Ann didn't have too much luck with the guy with the big glasses. First as a psychiatrist who brought a young date to Ann's birthday party. Than as a tacky comedian who basically dogs Ann out on stage ! :eek:

IDK? I think it would be really easy to go off track of how much credit you had . In 1980 I didn't have credit cards yet . Back than I don't think they had automated phone numbers you could call to check your balance and of course no
internet/ online back than. So maybe you wouldn't keep
track as good as you would now. But still there were
monthly statements/ bills. So yeah Max and Julie too were
just being restless with the credit . As lots of young people
do. Every generation really . Even older people too. Charge
it, worry about it later. Easy to get your credit messed up!:(

Antenna has always cut her out of that one. It’s a scene at the apartment around the middle of it where while Ann and Schneider are talking about Connors, Barbara is on the couch in pajamas having mouth problems.

Yeah. I thought so. Basically the whole episode was not in the apartment. Not one of my favorite eps. for sure.
The second episode was pretty good and funny really, even without Max. ;)
Bonniegirl 03-20-2026, 11:41 PM So is that it for season 5? Monday season 6 starts?
Yeah. I thought so. Basically the whole episode was not in the apartment. Not one of my favorite eps. for sure.
The second episode was pretty good and funny really, even without Max. ;)
I got Connor’s Crisis third from the bottom, just below Ginny’s Child. So I was slightly more into Ginny not wanting her kid than into some woman wanting to sleep with Mr. Connors for financial gain.
So is that it for season 5? Monday season 6 starts?
Monday the last 2 season fives. Max pops up in both of them.
TVFactFan 03-21-2026, 12:36 AM Antenna has always cut her out of that one. It’s a scene at the apartment around the middle of it where while Ann and Schneider are talking about Connors, Barbara is on the couch in pajamas having mouth problems.
Yeah I had to go to tubi to see her on the couch. Why was she looking 15 again:lol:
TVFactFan 03-21-2026, 12:41 AM Well the Indirect History lesson in the Connors episode was that the Lawrence Welk show aired on ABC at the time and ended in 1982. I believe that was it.
I cant see how any woman could live with Mr. Connors. He was so damm dry and dull.
Question.........I noticed in the opening its a scene with Max coming in with a bag of groceries and dropping them near the mail boxes
What episode was that?
TVFactFan 03-21-2026, 12:45 AM That professor looked so familiar. Like he played on the Brady Bunch. lol
And why would ann pass up that opportunity to move and continue working for
M.......R Connors:lol:
TVFactFan 03-21-2026, 12:47 AM I got Connor’s Crisis third from the bottom, just below Ginny’s Child. So I was slightly more into Ginny not wanting her kid than into some woman wanting to sleep with Mr. Connors for financial gain.
I tell women right away........."my bank account is frozen" U still wanna go out? lol

Why do I feel like Antenna TV will remove the show before they complete the whole series? lol Season 9 would be some time in May

It’s not in an episode but based on Barbara’s outfit I say it was filmed during the second episode Monday. They must have cut it from the episode. That’s my guess anyways.

In Connor’s Crisis did you recognize Dean Travers from Threes Company?

They should make it. May isn’t that far off, and Antenna doesn’t really make changes that quickly.

Yeah. I think it will go the distance. :)

I dont know if u was a fan of Happy days, but its a scene in the opening credits starting in season 3 when AL spills a plate of french fries on Richie, Ralph and Potsie and thats not in a episode either. U can how much of a TV geek i am for me to notice things lol

Actually, season 5 (it looks they’re in their college sweaters and they didn’t graduate till season 4). Is there any clue about an episode where the 3 of them were on one side of the booth in those outfits and Fonzie was on the other side?
