Betty Buckley as Abby Bradford on Eight is Enough

Been watching this show on Tubi, mostly for nostalgia as background when I’m cleaning the house. It’s very comforting and takes me right back to grade school.

Although I like the character of Abby Bradford, she comes across as so clinical with both her husband Tom and the Bradford children when they come to her with their problems.

Still, I do enjoy this ancient show, and some episodes continue to hold up well (others not so much). It’s fun for what it is, and it ran during a special time in my life.

My first glimpse of Grant Goodeve clarified a few things for me.

No idea if Grant had "eight," but he was enough for sure!

Betty Buckley... Betty Buckley... now where have I heard about her before?

Oh Datalounge Theater Queens, would you please help out here? I just know it had to do with the legitimate theater. TIA!

Love Betty but warm and motherly she ain't. Her Abby was always a little remote and chilly.

No one can say I wasn't warm and motherly!
