Ryn | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 06:19 am     Thanks to Wilsonmd for catching this!!! http://www.tvweek.com/news/web060203.html Return of 'The Family' ABC is bringing "The Family" back. A two-hour episode, "The Family Recap," explaining what happened in the first three hours of the show will air from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Wednesday, July 30. Starting Wednesday, Aug. 6, new episodes will air from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. Six new episodes have yet to air. "The Family," which features a middle-class family living together in a Palm Beach mansion and competing to win $1 million, originally debuted in the spring, but was pulled from the air after it tanked in the ratings. |
Bracken | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 06:26 am     Thanks so much for the info. I'm writing it in my daytimer in case I forget, the end of July seems so far away right now. I'm so glad we finally get to see the outcome of this show. At least they didn't wait as long as they did to return the Mole. I'm rooting for Robert (the cousin), is that his name? It's been so long I can only remember the Aunt and Uncle, lol. Well, the recap should refresh my old and tired memory. |
Marameko | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 11:30 am     Yes Brack,I think you are correct. While this show was cheesy, I really enjoyed watching. That Aunt Donna is scary. |
Tatyana | Wednesday, June 04, 2003 - 06:18 pm     I think the cousin is Mike isn't it, the bald guy who nobody else in the family seems to like very much, but I like him. HOpe he wins and glad it's coming back. |
Texasdeb | Wednesday, June 04, 2003 - 06:28 pm     I'm glad it's coming back too. They sure left us hanging. Don't remember too many positive stand outs. Maybe the plump female cousin. Sure didn't like the aunt or uncle. Maybe cousin Mike was a positive too - just can't remember. Like the idea of the recap so we can all catch up. |
Scorpiomoon | Friday, June 06, 2003 - 02:31 pm     WHAT???? HOW COOL IS THIS!!! YAY! Someone at ABC finally took their head out of their butt! |
Jhezzie | Friday, June 06, 2003 - 09:35 pm     Oh, goody! This show cracked me up. |
Pamy | Friday, June 06, 2003 - 09:50 pm     Can't wait! Can't wait!!! |

Hummingbird | Thursday, July 03, 2003 - 05:08 am     Why does ABC start a show then take it off the air, then bring it back starting from the begining? They did this with Mole 2. This network seems so unorganized and unsure of itself. I know it is all about ratings but I think they lose out in the long run because you don't want to start in on something and then have it pulled abruptly. If anything needed pulling it is that dopey, bogus Paradise Island. |
Pamy | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 11:21 am     OWL...I think it is getting close enough for a countdown, don't you??? |
Hippyt | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 05:13 pm     Oh,wow,I missed this thread!!!!!!!! How cool!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!! |
Realitynut | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 11:34 pm     Hi - I'm new here, and I stumbled onto this place. I have been looking for a place to read and post about The Family since it first aired. I love that show and I'm so happy it's coming back. This was my favorite new reality show. I sent two emails to ABC voicing my complaint about their sudden withdrawal of the show from the line up and I did receive replies both times. I love Cousin Mike cause he was nice to the servants. I hope he won it, and now I can't wait to see it! Unless the action picks up on BB, this will be my summer hit. |
Scorpiomoon | Monday, July 14, 2003 - 02:08 am     Welcome, Realitynut! Yep. I have to admit, I have missed Dawn. Remember the previews of where we left off? Someone in the family drove a golf cart right into where George Hamilton was sitting! I can't wait to see that! |
Realitynut | Monday, July 14, 2003 - 10:35 am     Thanks for the welcome, Scorpiomoon! I was laughing so hard in the previews when they ran into George Hamilton, I couldn't wait to see it. He is so funny and I love the way he is able to poke fun at himself. I'm so afraid there will be another war or something to pre-empt the show. I just want it to hurry up and air. |

Seamonkey | Friday, July 18, 2003 - 09:43 am     Well, we have riches for the summer but I'm still looking forward to this family again |
Realitynut | Friday, July 18, 2003 - 01:44 pm     Well, as they say in Boarding House - I am stoked for The Family to begin! I am so excited to see cousin Mike. He is a babe. During BB on Wednesday, they kept interrupting the show to talk about a fire raging out of control up north. I'm like - hello? Tell us on the commercials please! There had better not be a war or a raging fire when The Family is on or I am going to come unglued. I have waited so long for this show to air and finish. I love the snippy social secretary too. He is a riot. |
Theowl | Friday, July 18, 2003 - 03:58 pm     12 DAYS AND 2 HOURS!!! HOOO HOOOO!!!!  |
Pamy | Friday, July 18, 2003 - 07:21 pm     YEAH!!!! Owl is the best! |
Laura11103 | Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 08:29 am     Wow, they actually are bringing it back, YES!!!! |
Theowl | Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 11:02 am     8 DAYS AND 6 HOURS AND 58 MINUTES!!! HOOO HOOOO!!!!  |
Marameko | Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 11:14 am     Yipppppppppppeeee, sure this show is cheesy.... *Aunt Donna is scary *Uncle Mike thinks he is cool *Cousin Mike is lovable *Cousin Dawn is.......well Cousin Dawn. ABC did the right thing in bringing this show back. |
Realitynut | Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 03:39 pm     I can't begin to tell you how excited I am. I love this show. When it was on before, I didn't know anyone besides me watching it, so I was begging all my friends and family to watch it and have a report after, but it went off the air too soon. Now they are all committed to watching it. I can't wait. The only thing I'm afraid of (and was at the time) is that Aunt Donna and Uncle Mike are going to fix it so that Cousin Mike is eliminated so they can keep the money in the 'family', since they don't feel that Cousin Mike is really one of them. |
