Quotes
Jake Rozzner: [intro series] Brooklyn: my dad had left in the 50s, I left in the 80s. The difference is... I came back. See, I grew up in a foster home here, which isn't as bad as it sounds. I got a pretty great childhood out of it. Now there's a new groovy kids in the old house, and I want them to have as much fun as I did. You know that line that says: "you can't home go home again". I don't buy it.

The best show to show love between grown ups and kids.

I enjoyed watching the show because it hit home with the message of love for your neighbor and country. That is something the country need right now. It is obvious, the show was a couple of decades ahead of its time. The actors and actresses were great too.The actress I really enjoyed was Barbara Meek. This actress seem to draw your attention by her smile. Jake drew your attention by showing a fatherly concern for the kids. The show explained to the audience how orphans go through situations of loneliness. Jake and Babara exemplified how we are to handle problematic kids. Now, that is really needed today. I think this show or its episodes should be aired again. Today, we need shows like this one to steer kids in the right direction again by assuring that there are people who really care.

Time has caught up with the show...so let's air it again and watch TV ratings sky rocket.
