Hi everyone,
I just wanted to acknowledge and give a BIG thanks to Cindi Benson. Cindi has been a tireless and amazing supporter with her constant updates regarding Eight is Enough. If it hadn’t been for Cindi, the Eight is Enough cast and I would have been left in the dark about the progress of its release on DVD!
Thanks to all of you who took the time to vote and contact Warner Brother’s. It is now official, Season 1 of Eight is Enough will be available on DVD this April! You spoke, and Warner Brother’s finally listened! I emailed Grant, Connie, Dick and Willie yesterday. They were all so surprised and thrilled to hear the good news! They wanted me to let you know how appreciative they are for all of your efforts in making this a reality.
My son will finally realize that his “Stay at home Mom” did something more than carpool and laundry and was once a young chick! I am forever grateful to all of you who have kept the show in your hearts. So many wonderful memories come back to me and I can’t wait to revisit them again. The times that we shared during our five seasons together were priceless. It’s amazing to think how much has changed since the 70′s and early 80′s. We didn’t own cell phones or computers and many of us owned those huge dinosaur gas-guzzling cars. It’s hard to believe that the Bradford’s didn’t even own a dishwasher! Eight is Enough may show a little age, but I feel the show’s content and message is timeless!
Classic family television is still in demand, it holds it’s own when it is well written and touches the heart. It is my hope that future generations will enjoy watching the show as much as I enjoyed acting in it. I so vividly remember shooting a dinner table scene on the set. Dick looked at all of the cast and said, “One day you will look back on this and say, Those were the Good Old Days!” How right he was!!
Thank you for supporting and being part of my blog. I really enjoy reading all of your comments and I hope you continue to be entertained by my silly stories (especially when you are having a rough day at work!).
Lots of love and health this wonderful New Year!
Hugs,
Dianne AKA Nancy Bradford

OMG!!! That totally made my day, heck my year!! Thank you so much for that. I have no doubt that your son will love the show. I plan on purchasing a set for my two nephews who are roughly the same age, and I know they will dig it. Chris Mann and I are wondering if you are planning to attend the next Hollywood Show in February? We thought it would be fun if we all could hang out! You rock so hard Dianne, you will give yourself brain damage! lol
Glad to hear that Eight is Enough is out on DVD. That show brings back happy memories for me to, since I watched it back when my dear hubby of 33 years and I were first married. You’re right, those were the good old days!
Yay! i found out about it and got excited! i had not give up on DVD. here the bradford family comes here again!
Personally, I can’t wait for these DVD’s. I’ve had the entire show on VHS since 1988 (when I became a late bloomer fan), and those are starting to wear out. The best part is this will be released on my birthday.
By the way, Dianne, I’ve been enjoying your blogs. So far, yours are the only ones I read regularly.
I am glad you now require a user name and PW. So much spamming on your blog comments, especially for prescription drugs lol
Congratulations Cindi! I’d also like to give props to Hannah G who has taken the time to put together facebook fan pages for Dianne and the rest of the EIE cast members.
Cecil,
Hannah is a Facebook friend and he certainly deserves props for his pages on virtually all the cast members of EIE!
