Condo! Oh,yes! I remember watching this in 1983,second 1/2 of my freshman high school year! In fact the day it debuted I was sick in bed with the flu. I thought this show was really great and certainly better than any previous attempts at getting MacLean Stevenson a successful series. It coulda,shoulda and woulda been a hit if it had been given a longer chance to get noticed.
Unlike the dumb-dad "Hello Larry",at least in this show he has a brain,despite it being prejudiced and loud mouthed. I don't look at the show as trying to create a new Archie Bunker but more so it shows the ridiculous way people act when confronted with people different than they are.
You really can't blame the fathers for being upset. These are two teen-agers who went and made a baby together with no thought of the circumstances. In real life (especially in that era) the parents would have thrown them both out of their homes. ..but,this is TV after all. I was sorry that it didn't last because I was really getting into it but if it should ever pop up on DVD somewhere,I give it an 8 out of 10 star rating. If you're a MacLean Stevenson fan,it's for you! I liked seeing Luis Avalos outside the Electric Company for a change,he at least went on to "Hangin With Mr. Cooper".
