One Day At A Time Reunion
ONE DAY AT A TIME, which ran on CBS from 1975-1984, followed Ann Romano, who moved with her two teenage daughters, Julie and Barbara Cooper, back to her hometown of Indianapolis to start fresh after her divorce. The three of them take on life challenges and learn to make it on their own by taking things one day at a time. I LOVED this show, and saw every episode...it was great to see everyone together again.
From the CBS Web site, featuring tonight's special on One Day At A Time, which I just finished watching:
The ONE DAY AT A TIME REUNION SPECIAL reunites original cast members Bonnie Franklin (Ann Romano,) Valerie Bertinelli (Barbara Cooper,) Mackenzie Phillips (Julie Cooper) and Pat Harrington (Dwayne Schneider) to reminisce about their days together on Norman Lear's popular, long-running comedy about a single, divorced mother raising two teenage daughters. The cast looks back at their days on the series that mirrored what was happening in society in the 1970s. They discuss the serious issues the show addressed--divorce, teen sex, peer pressure and marriage--as well as the fashion and hairstyles worn at the time and how their on-screen struggles often reflected what was happening in their off-screen lives. Pat Harrington also joins them to talk about how his character protected the three women, his outrageous entrances into the Romano apartment and Schneider's secret crush on Ann.
In separate interviews, recurring cast members Richard Masur (David Kane), Shelley Fabares (Francine Webster), Nanette Fabray (Grandma Katherine Romano), Michael Lembeck (Max Horvath) and Glenn Scarpelli (Alex Handris) share their feelings about their time on the show and their characters' relationships with Ann, Barbara and Julie.
