A sizable ratings hit in its debut season of 1975-76, One Day At A Time followed the formula established by producer Norman Lear in his other memorable television series (like All in the Family and Maude): It broke ground by discussing real-life social situations within the context of a friendly and funny sitcom. Bonnie Franklin was top-billed as Ann Romano, newly divorced after a 17-year marriage and raising two teenage daughters (newcomer Valerie Bertinelli and Mackenzie Phillips, then best known for her turn in American Graffiti). In addition to the everyday struggles for financial stability and open communication with her children, Ann wrestles to achieve her own independence--which includes standing on equal terms in a relationship with her upstairs neighbor, David (Richard Masur). Making matters slightly more complicated is her apartment super, Duane Schneider (Pat Harrington in an Emmy and Golden Globe-winning performance), whose incessant snooping and blowhard talk are a source of considerable irritation to Ann.
One Day at a Time navigated the challenge of presenting comedy and realistic drama in the same program thanks to its talented cast and creative team, who addressed the social issues in a thoughtful manner without seeming preachy, and delivered genuine laughs that never stooped to slapstick or 'hot button' issues (though the show's laugh track is particularly grating). All 15 episodes of the premiere season (which debuted as a mid-season replacement and rose to twelfth place in the ratings for the entire network year) are included in this double-disc set; longtime fans will be pleased to note that not only are the episodes uncut, but the One Day at a Time Reunion Special, which aired in 2005, is included as an extra (it's mentioned nowhere on the box cover art). All of the principal players contribute their memories of the show's successful run, including some honest discussion of Phillips' much-publicized drug problems. -- Paul Gaita

Rating:  - "So Hold On Tight, We'll Muddle Through, One Day at a Time!"
Back, when I was a kid, growing up in the '70s, my family and I pretty much loved most of the Norman Lear produced comedies, that were on the b**b tube at the time. "All in the Family" was king in our household, but a close second for us, would have to be the groundbreaking sitcom, "One Day at a Time".
For those who don't know, "One Day at a Time" featured Ms.Ann Ramano (Bonnie Franklin) a middle aged mom, who is newly divorced after a long time marriage. This is truely the first time in her life, that Ann hasn't been dependent on a man. She is now facing an uncertain new future, which includes finding a job and raising her two battling, teenage daughters, Julie (Mackenzie Phillips) and Barbara (Valerie Bertinelli) the best way she knows how. Along for the ride is both the meddling, wise-cracking, apartment building handyman, Dwayne F. Schnieder (Pat Harrington Jr.) and the teddy bear-like, divorce lawyer/love interest, David Kane (Richard Masur).
This was the first successful show on TV to really broach the topic of divorce and how it affected both women and kids alike. The scripts were sharp, sometimes moving and quite funny. The show made stars out of the four main cast members (I had a huuuuge, pre-teen crush on Valerie Bertinelli!), who really invested their characters with both personality and chemistry.
This DVD features all 15 episodes of the first season. The remastering is fine, but nothing special. The one extra included is a wonderful 40 minute, ... Read More

I never saw the show before but it looks good. I wonder if they will ever release any more seasons?
Rating: - Please sell dvds of all seasons! Thank you!
I'm glad I bought this set so I could see the earlier shows that I didn't see and hopefully I can see the rest of the series on dvd because I haven't seen these shows since they were on network tv.
Very enjoyable! I hope the next season includes the rest of the Reunion special. I'd love more bonus features!
..classic Norman Lear production! Intelligent and emotional dialogue with relevant storylines. The stories and characters were endearing and sympathetic. Also love the clothes and interior sets!
