I was in junior high when this played on TV. I watched the first episode and was hooked.
Great show..remember from my youth..
It was great in the first season. Their story lines were warm, touching and showed the closeness of the family.
I suspect that were I to see this show today I'd find it hokey and corny and wonder what I ever liked about it back in the day. I saw an afterschool special w/Kristy McNichol about 5 years ago & I was like "Oh this is so unreal.
I was a small child, only four and five years old, when this was on TV. I remember it so vividly and I never forgot the name.
I remember this as a warm and friendly family show. It was a family who had moved back from the big city to the Dad's rural hometown.
I have to admit I only remember little bits and pieces of the show, but they do stand out, and in reading the other comments about the show it is really coming back to mind. I remember that it came on right after "The Wonderful World of Disney" in our area and in those day (being raised by my grandparents) there was only the one TV in our house and you had to watch what everybody else was watching and I remember that show really hitting home.
I watched Apple's Way devotedly during it's deservedly-brief run. It aired an hour before Kung Fu with David Carradine, as I remember it, which made for a wonderful double-header of inanity.
I watched this show a couple of times when i was 7 years old. The only scene that sticks in my mind that i remember is i believe it was the Tornado episode where i keep thinking there's a scene where George and the Grandfather were in the station wagon car (i think it was) and somehow , George was driving the car in the storm and somehow it flipped over and landed on its roof and then it went into a commercial.
