Tom Turns 50...again?
diningroomdiva-3133118 April 2023
I've loved watching Eight Is Enough since I was a kid watching the originals. I'm so excited that the series is now on Tubi. In season 4 (1980), I've come across a bit of an error...Tom is depressed about turning, you guessed it, 50!

Of course the premise of the reunion is the family coming together to celebrate Tom's 50th birthday. Despite this little "oops" I really love this movie. I remember wishing that there was a spin off that showed how everyone met their spouses. I was especially interested in how Nancy did a complete 360° and ended up with Jeb. Along with the series on Tubi, the two reunion movies are on YouTube. It's a little bittersweet, seeing the cast members that have passed, especially Adam Rich.

Great to see Adam Rich and the rest of the Eight is Enough cast

Warning: Spoilers
When Eight is Enough was axed in 1981 following the defeat of Carter by Reagan the previous year, I wondered what would happen to the cast and especially what Adam Rich would look like in a reunion several years later.

With the Reagan presidency coming to an end in 1988, and the thousand points of light of George Bush Sr, it was good to see the Eight is Enough reunion movie. In fact this is the first of two Eight is Enough reunion movies, and it was refreshing seeing what the characters were up to, and Adam growing into adulthood. Unfortunately Betty Buckley couldn't make an appearance as she was filming Frantic in Paris, so Mary Frann took her place (sadly Mary Frann died in 1998).

I loved the reunion of the kids and the Easter eggs shown throughout the movie.
