Eight Is Enough

On the data. THE SPLIT, NOT THE TOTAL, IS WHAT IS DISPUTED. One hundred and twelve episodes is agreed by every source checked. Whether season three has twenty-seven or twenty-eight of them is not: Wikipedia's series overview box says twenty-seven, and Wikipedia's own episode tables, TVmaze and TheTVDB all say twenty-eight. This page carries twenty-eight, because Wikipedia's overall episode numbering settles it against Wikipedia's own box. Season four begins at overall episode sixty-four, and sixty-three is nine plus twenty-six plus twenty-eight. THE LONG EPISODES ARE ALREADY TWO EPISODES EACH. Six or seven broadcasts ran two hours and every source numbers them as two consecutive episodes sharing one air date, including You Won't Have Nicholas to Kick Around Anymore and the pair that closes season three. The hundred and twelve already counts them that way, so a tracker that also offered them as single feature-length entries would count the same television twice. Syndication did the reverse, splitting the two-hour broadcasts into trimmed hours, which is the same television again rather than more of it. THE PILOT IS EPISODE ONE AND NOTHING SEPARATE. It was shot in 1976 with three actors who were then recast, which is why it sometimes gets described as a thing of its own. It is season one episode one. ABBY IS THREE DIFFERENT ACTRESSES. Betty Buckley in the series, Mary Frann in the 1987 film, Sandy Faison in the 1989 one. Nobody explains it on screen. NO CROSSOVERS, AND TWO THINGS THAT LOOK LIKE ONE. Will Geer, Grandpa Walton, guest starred in season two, which is a Lorimar actor on a Lorimar show and not a shared story. And Just the Ten of Us is a Growing Pains spin-off with no Bradford in it, which keeps surfacing because a season three episode has the same title. THE REUNION FILMS' NETWORK IS NOT CLEANLY SETTLED. Wikipedia and a same-day 1989 newspaper listing both say NBC; TheTVDB says ABC for both, which looks inherited from the series. NBC is carried here. No count depends on it.
