Hi everyone!

I'm ISIS and I've been a fan of EiE since i was a very Little ISIS back in the 70s.  My fav seasons are s2 and 3...but I lurve the entire show.  My Favorite Bradfords are Abby, Mary, Joannie, Tommy and David...but I have a soft spot for Tom and Nicholas...and I like the rest too.  I am a sucker for a good Tom and Abby moment..they were such an adorable couple...and also I get all warm and fuzzy over  Abby/Nicholas,  Abby/Tommy moments....and I LURVE when all the kids get into mischief together.

I have A LOT of favorite eps...like the one when they were all quarantined...I think that was from the first year...and the one when all the kids got arrested I think it was a bar fight...and just about all of s2 but esp Trial Marriage when Abby first shows up and Mary moved out and back home...and when Tom and Abby got married...and then when Abby and Joannie got into it...I always thought it was interesting dynamics between them esp because like Mary, Joannie also favored Abby...and well somebody had to be the renegade and not be so accepting of a new step parent, right?

The ep when Abby thought she was pregnant *s3 I think*...that was REALLY good...wish I could see that one again...I remember the kids not being too happy about it.  OH and the ep when Tom and Abby go out of town and the kids through a party...I think in the beginning Mary was in charge and she leaves because they kind of like did a mutiny on her...and then they threw the party...trashed the house...and like the next morning they had like hardly any time to hurry and clean up before the folks got back....Man, me and my sibs would have been DEAD had we done something like that.  OH another good one that I remember was when Abby had to teach at the high school and Tommy was getting bullied to get the test answers or something like that.

Of the later eps...while I remember somethings..like I think Sandra Sue was born prematurely...and Ralph Macchio was Abby's nephew(?)...but I do remember the ep when nobody was around to look after Nicholas and he kept getting into situations...and poor Abby felt bad as was going to quit school and in the end I think the whole family comes up with a way to make sure they all took turns looking after Nicholas...who was like ten already...and I can't sympathize because I was a latch key kid at 9...and I'm sure that he wouldn't have been home alone too long before SOMEBODY came home. 

And another one I liked from the later years was the one when Nicholas played hooky from school because the teacher kept comparing him to all of his older brothers and sisters...I am a teacher and while it is sometimes hard not to compare...I try my best not to compare.  And I totally understood both Nicholas and Abby's PoV about things....and also...there were some awesome Nicholas/Abby moments in that ep...doesn't he call her mom in that one?  Yeah I'm pretty sure that's the one.  Makes sense he would be the first...cuz she really was like his mom.

And I've really typed a lot for my first post...but as you can see I LURVE EiE.
