That is an exception though...Dick Van Patten's character was in his 40s I think at the time, but if what was stated earlier is true--that when the second season started, it was announced that a year had gone by, that's fine. I guess I'll wait til the second season to see if it plays out like that.

Hopefully, the 2nd season DVD will see the light of day this century!!!!

And I'm not 100% sure I was accurate. I was going by what certain books stated. It's been years since I've seen Eight is Enough and although I watched it quite often when it was originally on, I did not watch it every week . I do know that Abby fit right in with the cast real fast though.

The toughest member to win over was Tommy whom resented Abby at first. He was the most sensative over the loss of his Mom.

And the Christmas episode seemed to help him bond a little with Abby, IIRC.

Wasn't she one of his teachers or something?

I remember the episode where Abby first appeared . Tommy broke his leg, the school sent over a tutor so he wouldn't fall behind, and Abby was that tutor .

John Travolta said that he didn't want Diana Hyland to take the role, but she really wanted it.
