Because it blows, that's why! This series was nothing but 70s feminist propaganda with ugly people in it and it's aged over the last 30 years worse than fish. Pat Harrington was the only good thing about it. "So Hold On Tight, We'll Muddle Through, One Day at a Time!" September 11, 2008 Kenneth M. Gelwasser (Hollywood, Fl USA) 2 out of 3 found this review helpful Back, when I was a kid, growing up in the '70s, my family and I pretty much loved most of the Norman Lear produced comedies, that were on the b**b tube at the time. "All in the Family" was king in our household, but a close second for us, would have to be the groundbreaking sitcom, "One Day at a Time". For those who don't know, "One Day at a Time" featured Ms.Ann Ramano (Bonnie Franklin) a middle aged mom, who is newly divorced after a long time marriage. This is truely the first time in her life, that Ann hasn't been dependent on a man. She is now facing an uncertain new future, which includes finding a job and raising her two battling, teenage daughters, Julie (Mackenzie Phillips) and Barbara (Valerie Bertinelli) the best way she knows how. Along for the ride is both the meddling, wise-cracking, apartment building handyman, Dwayne F. Schnieder (Pat Harrington Jr.) and the teddy bear-like, divorce lawyer/love interest, David Kane (Richard Masur). This was the first successful show on TV to really broach the topic of divorce and how it affected both women and kids alike. The scripts were sharp, sometimes moving and quite funny. The show made stars out of the four main cast members (I had a huuuuge, pre-teen crush on Valerie Bertinelli!), who really invested their characters with both personality and chemistry. This DVD features all 15 episodes of the first season. The remastering is fine, but nothing special. The one extra included is a wonderful 40 minute, 2005 'reunion special', which features the principal cast members. In a relaxed setting, the actors talk and reminisce about their characters, the series' various themes & plotlines and the actual production of the show. Topics of interest run the gamut from the wild '70s clothing/hairdo fashions to a discussion of Mackenzie Phillips' drug problems, that lead to her eventually leaving the show. The actors good naturely banter back and forth, leaving the impression, that after more than 30 years, they are in a way still a family. A great show! Highly recommended! Hopefully in the future more seasons will be released to DVD! THANK YOU September 5, 2008 Carol L. Fisher 0 out of 1 found this review helpful I am very pleased with the DVD of "One Day at a Time". The DVD's are in excellent collection and have been GREAT to watch. Thanks VERY much! it's worth it. July 25, 2008 Irene Heras (CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS United States) i love watching this dvd while i'm getting ready to go to work. this truly brings back memories. it was every sunday night this show would come on. i even remember where i was for several episodes. i hope season 2 will be out very soon. Please sell dvds of all seasons! Thank you! May 17, 2008 Sitcom Fan (Minneapolis) I'm glad I bought this set so I could see the earlier shows that I didn't see and hopefully I can see the rest of the series on dvd because I haven't seen these shows since they were on network tv. Very enjoyable! I hope the next season includes the rest of the Reunion special. I'd love more bonus features! ..classic Norman Lear production! Intelligent and emotional dialogue with relevant storylines. The stories and characters were endearing and sympathetic. Also love the clothes and interior sets!
