Synopsis

Just the Ten of Us is an American sitcom starring stand-up comedian Bill Kirchenbauer as Coach Graham Lubbock, a teacher and the head of a large Catholic family with eight children living in Eureka, California. The series is a spin-off of Growing Pains, in which Kirchenbauer portrayed the same character on a recurring basis. As the series progressed, Coach Lubbock's four eldest daughters, the teenagers Marie, Cindy, Wendy, and Connie, became the primary focus of the show. Just the Ten of Us aired on ABC starting with a trial run on April 26, 1988 and ending on May 17, 1990. After the first four episodes in an abbreviated first season were aired, the show was renewed for two more seasons, eventually ending after 47 episodes on May 4, 1990. The show was most notably a part of what would become that network's TGIF programming block.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
johnpburkhardt First saw this show after slogging home from my 11-hr shift at the gas station working with illegals from India. Was drinking heavy at the time, which was my only solace in life, along with the occasional crack-binge.This show gave me some fantasy-type relief. I liked Marie the best because she was the oldest, too hot for regular TV, and on top of that she was sexually and morally conflicted. Must of been one hell of a date - a bomb ready to blow. I started watching the show for Cindy and Wendy, but by the time Marie took off her glasses and her pants in the singing episodes it was obvious that she was the slammin' one.The show was totally different from my life. It wholesome, fun and dumb and too good to be true, except for the silly-putz-fascist father and the overwhelmed-pious mother.After I quit drinking I became more comfortable in reality and my obsession with the show and Marie faded to a more healthy level. I don't know if I could stand watching the show again, maybe with the sound off.
Caramon94 The show was great. I think they should start showing re-runs or something. I mean there's no reason they can't. They should at least put it out on DVD or something. Maybe even put the episodes up on youtube. Heather Langenkamp did a great job. It was a pretty major shift in roles. From A Nightmare on Elm Street to Just the Ten of Us. All of the actors were great. There wasn't really anything I didn't like about the show. Anyway there should be a petition to bring the re-runs back on the air. Well there really isn't that much more to say about it. it was a great show that was canceled to quickly. The actors were great and like I said they should do something to bring it back.
StreetAngel I absolutely loved this show. My favorite characters were Wendy and Cindy. I wanted to be just like them(I was about 7 at the time) A couple months ago, I was serching thru a old box of mine and found a tape full of J.T.10.O.U on it. While I was watching it, I felt like a kid again. It is a little ridiculous, but thats what made the show so great. they didn't take themselfs to seriously, like most Sitcoms do today. It's a shame that this show went off the air. I loved the Lubbock Babes!
Op_Prime Just the Ten of Us was a wonderful show. It had that thing that makes shows and movies so special. It was way better than Growing Pains, the show that spun Just the Ten of Us off. Bill Kirchenbauer was the funniest of all the cast. I recall he was going into one of his classes and was coming from track practice. He had the starting pistol and when the class wouldn't be quiet, he fired it into the air and everyone rushed to their desks. So funny.
