Why is this forum obsessed with "One Day At A Time"? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Crusinforabrusin · 06-15-2017, 05:49 PM

It's weird because there are many other shows that are better and have a larger fanbase , yet "One Day At A Time" seems to be worshipped on the forums.

Why is that so?

I wouldn't say that. There are a few people here that are obsessed with certain members of the cast. I agree with some more than others.

It doesn't strike me that way. There's a sizable group of fans who post in some of that board's chat threads but that's far from a site-wide "obsession".

Though I wouldn't mind if other shows built up enough of a fanbase to have their own chat threads too.

Yeah I like the show and I also have a BIG crush on one of the stars!

And I made really good friends on the ODAAT forums with other fans of the show that are big fans of certain stars!

And we happen to post a lot! We have fun!

Along with posting about the show and the cast members we like and other shows and movies they have been in , we chat personally and post plenty of pictures of the stars too!

Like for instance, this pic was made up off the TV specially for me from one of my Friends on the ODAAT threads!

I have three wonderful friends there that make me up pics of this guy right from the TV or Youtube because I don't know how to do it , and they know I love him !

ODAAT has a lot of posts (checking the count), but no more than many other popular sitcoms. This is a sitcoms site, right?

Yes.

I would think someone in their 90's would have more important things to worry about.

Yep!!!

Like the Leave it to Beaver threads get lots of posts!

And lately My Three Sons since METV brought it back and esp. since they are showing the rare old Black & White eps!

Also Alice has been getting a lot of activity lately due to LOGO showing it, and fans (such as myself) watching it again!

So it isn't just ODAAT threads !

So, looking over the replies in here, this one seems to sum it up best...

Hey, if anyone's living one day at a time, it's someone in their nineties....

There's also Unsolved Mysteries as well that is popular on here.

Edward216 · 06-15-2017, 09:11 PM

I guess a lot of people like the show. So what? I liked it (usually) but that doesn't make me obsessed with it.

Er, Are not "I Love Lucy" fans more obsessive?

Well, the Lucy forum will go days without a new post in it. I think it's great i wish more shows had the kind of following ODAAT does on here.
