Default The Baby Love episode was the saddest and annoying episode of season 9

I am totally annoyed about how Barbara kept budding in on Julie and Max's baby but I do understand why. She was not able to conceive and simply wanted a child to take care of but she should not have tried to control what Max was doing.

I did like how Barbara and her husband tried to adopt a kid but was very upset when another family ended up adopting him.

This episode made me emotional and stressed out because Barbara came up short at every turn.

It was one of the best episodes of the season in terms of it not having too much of the other characters in it.

This originally aired as a 1 hour special on CBS so it will be played in 2 parts when it finally airs on Antenna TV

My original post said that it's one of the few full episodes that's on YouTube, but then I realized that only part of the episode is there.

I had the complete series up at one point but they took most of my videos down. I had unedited versions of almost every episode so it sucks that they are no longer view able.

I liked them too! But they were sad! Jesse was cute, but I think it would have been better if they could have adopted an infant ! I don't see where there would have been enough room for a child that age, being they already lived with two other adults and a baby in three bedroom house! Really two,the third was a very small attic space!

But it ended up really for the best. After Julie left, Barbara was pretty much a Mommy than!

Yes, she and Little D. nurtured the baby Julie abandoned.

I never bought the idea that she would give up her child after all she did to bring her into this world.

Maybe she had post partum?

Yes. Julie seriously had some major issues!! IDK how a Mother could leave her child like that! An adorable baby,and an adorable,wonderful,sexy husband! Doesn't make sense !!!

Max was cuter than a basket of kittens in this ep. IDK what it was,but he just looked extra cute to me today!

It is impossible for me to think of him without thinking of you!

Yes, he was especially adorable today, so in love with a woman who treated him like dirt under her feet.

Why did the writers have to give her such a harsh exit?...

The writers were hoping the viewers/fans were thinking he went on to meet his "Miss Right" and live happily ever after! A woman who was fine with a man already having a child, and full custody at that! Basically a woman that was a good wife and a good step Mother! And they would have more children together!

As for Julie/Mackenzie. At that point I guess they thought they gave her enough chances to clean up her act, and when she didn't they didn't really care how cold and harsh it looked making her character leave that way!
