In the 1st3 seasons they made it look like Julie more pretty then Barbar and cooler. barbra aged very classy young women
To the previous post, I assume your comments are sarcastic because there ARE women who will destroy their families simply because they are not "fulfilled". Just go hang out at the family courts for a few days and see how many women are doing just that!
The adults in this show made it jump the shark! I was a teenager during the show's original run and loved Julie and Barbara, especially Julie. But Ann ... come on! Mothers do not break up their marriages and screw up their children's lives just because they're bored or unfulfilled. They just don't - not in the 70's and not today! The character did not ring true for me and I was glad my mom was not like her!

I agree that too much Schneider was the jumping point of this show. I enjoyed the character in small doses -- he always provided a much-needed comedic break to some of the heavy drama. However, the key phrase there is "SMALL DOSES". When the producers started focusing more and more on Schneider because of his popularity, those segments became over-indulgent and un-funny. The balance of the show was altered and it lost something essential at that point.
I watched this show faithfully. Bonnie Franklin wasn't that bad, she just looked like an average, everyday person. Schneider was a characture of a human being, but so were a lot of sidekicks and scene stealers(Reverend Jim, anyone?) Mackenzie Phillips was riveting to watch. Julie was groundbreaking in that she was the first troubled teen to be a central character on a sit-com. I was also disappointed by the guy who played Barbara's hubby, Mark. I would have preferred her with Max, who was sexy and adorable. They even shared a kiss after Julie left. Of course it couldn't go further. The proposed spin-off with Susan Richardson was lame, so I'm glad they dropped it. As far as Julie leaving her family, some think it was unrealistic. I don't because it was typical of Julie to be restless and wild. It was unrealistic that marriage, especially a rocky one like hers and Max's, would have tamed her. Phillips' ghastly appearance probably saved some lives. I too, was puzzled as to why Schnieder had blond, nordic looking relatives like Mark Hamill and the son that he never knew he had who contacted him. Lastly, I thought I was the only one who saw the resemblance between Glen Scarpelli and Adrian Zmed. The past comments are hilarious!
Like a lot of sitcoms the first few years were the best. I think it went downhill when Julie married and left the show. Even when she returned it wasn't the same. It really sucked by the time Barbara married. I do agree with the Schneider haters. He was one of the most annoying characters in the history of sitcoms. The show would have been so much better without him.
I liked that ODAAT was a mixture of comedy/drama. Overall, I thought the show was really good and does hold up as opposed to something like Welcome Back Kotter.
I completely disagree with the poster who said 70s sitcoms were bad. All in the Family, The Jeffersons, The Odd Couple, Taxi, Good Times, Three's Company and Barney Miller were all classic sitcoms that came out of that decade, and that's only a small sampling.

I agree with the poster who said the JTS moment was "TOO MUCH DWAYNE SCHNEIDER!" What an obnoxious character-he got on my nerves big time!I also felt that Julie's disappear-and-reappear-and-disappear-again act was insane (even though she wasn't the most appealing actress on earth). Best episode-the two part one about Barbara's emotionally disturbed classmate who attempts suicide. Definitely one of the better "Very Special Episodes" in sitcomland.
Wow the acting was horrendous. Bonnie Frnklin is a first class ham. Mackenzie Phillips was soooo skanky I was 10 when this was first on and she gave me the creeps.
But
Bonnie Franklin never wore a bra and always had her nipples poking out - you could have poked your eye out on them. Also Valerie B had a camel toe that was not only beefy but cripes she had the denim cald grand canyon running through her crotch - didnt anyone notice? A gynecologist could have examined her with her clothes on. But I digress. I watched this show in reruns ALONE ifyou know what I mean.

Why didn't they just make Julie's chatacter a drug addict. It was that obvious to everyone, insted if the stupid plot twists they came up with.I never could believe Julie could steal Barbara's boyfriends etc, she was pathetic.
