Like fellow shows from Norman Lear, One Day at a Time ably mixes comedy with weighty issues to create a memorable sitcom. Ann Romano (Franklin) is a single mother of two. Daughters Julie (Phillips) and Barbara (Bertinelli) deal with real issues that teens in the 1970s were sure to face. Unlike other sitcoms where the biggest problem is having two dates to the prom, this series handles topics such as teen sex and substance abuse with honesty. But if the mood ever gets too serious, wisecracking super Schneider (Harrington, Jr.) is always good for a laugh. This release includes all 15 episodes of the first season, plus the reunion special.
