SYNOPSIS Coach Lubbock and Cindy decide to go on a diet together, but it's tough going. Coach Lubbock is the "braggart type," over-confident that he can quickly lose weight if he tries to. He doesn't make it through the first day, in spite of Elizabeth's efforts to make food hard to find: she distributes his picture all over town with instructions to tell him, "I love you, Lard-butt." He and Cindy eventually track down food. It makes him feel awful, however, and gives him new resolve to stick with the diet.
QUOTES ELIZ. What other secrets do you have?
COACH I'm losing my hair.
MARIE What can I say, crossdressing amuse me. Is it a sin? Probably. Oh, no... (exit)
COACH When she finally cracks, I hope there are a lot of nice people around to help her.
God, I loved that episode. How hot was it when the redhead (I forget the character's name) goes into the pantry to try to get the dad not to start bingeing and instead they both end up in a feeding frenzy. That girl was smokin' hot. Hearing her say "mmmmmmmmmm" along with that look on her face was greater.
shareHer name is Cindy on the show. The girl who played her is Jamie Luner. Just thought you might like to know!!!!

That episode contained one of my favorite jokes...and one of our most bizarre. We hired an extremely thin actor, Jimmy Brogan (who went on to become Jay Leno's head writer for many years), then padded his legs and butt so that he was very skinny from the waist up and fat from the waist down. He was on a scale when we spotted him, after which he got off and excitedly said, "I'm halfway to my goal!!!"
I remember that scene vividly, and it was pretty hilarious, although obviously a little bizarre. I think this was also the episode where Coach Lubbock goes to the convenience store to try to buy some junk food, and non-chalantly asks for things like porn magazines, tampons, etc, and then throws in the junk food at the end to try to sneak it by...
shareI remember that joke! That was funny! I, too, loved the diet episode (it was probably my favorite) and I wish someone would put it on YouTube -- or, better yet, I wish this series would come to DVD!

Rock 'n' roll comme ci, rock 'n' roll comme ca, rock 'n' roll que sera sera!
My fave part of this ep was when the mothr made Cindy and Graham tripe and veggies for supper, while everyone else was eating fried chicken and all the fixings. Graham threw his tripe to the dog under th tabkle, next thing you know there is a coughing sound and it comes flying back up on the table. Loved it!

I would to see the epidsodes you have could post them on youtube. I was a big fan of this show...........If you can post I would love to watch them. The epidsode you are missing the dinner test is on youtube. I saw it today. Please post you epidsodes of Just the ten of us........If you decide to post please tell me, my email is [email protected]
shareI sure do! The part I remember vividly is when they are at that meeting getting weighed in and theres this guy with a scrawny torso but plump thighs and legs and he says "I'm already halfway through my goal!" I also never saw Jamie Luner as fat, so to put her on a diet episode seemed odd to me
shareYeah, that was a good one. Early on when they were being weighed in, and following a statement that those present were not fat, but "physically abundant", the person was trying to balance the scale for coach's weight. Finally, the coach reached up and shoved all of the weights to the far end of the scale, looked up at the person and said "Abundant enough for ya?"
When he wanted to buy that pie, but first asked for "a box of condoms, some feminine hygeine spray, etc. THEN the pie, the clerk got on the intercom and asked for a price check on the pie. There was a pause, then a voice boomed back over the intercom "Is there an overweight bald guy out there?" Also, when he offered the kid outside the fast food place $5 to go in there and buy him a cheeseburger, the kid reached into his pocket and pulled out the coach's picture. He looked up at him and slowly shook his head "no". Hilarious!
Yes. This definitely was one of my favorite episodes. So much so that I still have the original recording on tape. So much so that at one time I copied it on to cassette tape to listen to it on my walkman when I was going to go on a road trip from San Diego to Tucson.
Also from what I remember, this is the only episode of the series that allowed the audience to hear the closing credit music in it's entirety without those crummy annoying ABC voice-overs on it's first run.
Of course this is when tv was fun & there weren't any annoying network logos or ads for other shows plastered on the tv show you're trying to watch, & more importantly more show & less commercials.

Wow, a copy of the original ABC broadcast of that episode is likely very rare. It probably clocks in around 24 minutes without the commercials. The one I saw was on USA network in 1991, but was slightly cut by then. Any ideas what was cut out for syndication? I'd like to hear about it even if I can't see it!
I agree wholeheartedly with your feelings about the network logos and other ads displayed during the shows, and shoving the end credits over onto about a third of the screen to show us even MORE commercials then too! All that despite the fact that the shows themselves have likely been cut down to around 21 minutes by now! Will it EVER be enough? Watching the old shows from the 50's through 70's on TV Land is almost pointless now, since they've had to have so much cut out from the original broadcasts that sometimes plot holes develop! Watching the old shows on uncut DVD's is an entirely different experience, and sometimes there is some pretty good material absent from syndication that was obviously deemed less important than the almighty advertiser's dollar!
Hutsman,
I'll look into seeing about finding the episode in my vcr tape " vault ". Of course unless I can find a retape version from those shown on the USA network, I may not be able to determine what specifically was cut out of this specific episode.
Moving on: YEP !!!! TV shows are 21 minutes now without the commercials & includes the short time it takes to fast forward. In Daytime, it's even more. For example in 1996, " All My Children " would take 45 minutes to watch. Now, it's 39. Up until recently " The Bold And The Beautiful ", currently the USA's only half hour soap took 21 minutes, now it's 19.
Going back to primetime, when we used to get those 24 minutes of show plus commercials, we'd get 28 minutes if you don't count the 2 minutes given to the affilliates at the end of the show, I would just let the commercials run, especially when it came to ABC. The first break was typically 55 to 70 seconds long, in most cases much shorter than the opening theme song. I may be sappy when it comes to this, but boy do I miss hearing a theme song lasting from a minute to a minute & a half.
Can you imagine " The Brady Bunch " with an " amputated " theme song, or with none at all ???? Based on what I can remember, ABC always had longer theme songs & were the first to hack them & then take 'em out completely.
I remember discussing my favorite tv shows as a kid to my co-workers years back. I remember saying something to the effect of " I can't believe this is the same ABC that aired the first season of ' Wonder Woman 'clocking with a 1 minute & 40 second theme song ". I believe the " Happy Days " theme song " Rock Around The Clock " was about 1 minute & 36 seconds give or take a few seconds.
Well sorry I made this long, but I'll get with the bulletin board as soon as I find and view the episode. I'll even tell you the commercials aired in it's original broadcast.

I remember this show vaguely but from what I can remember is when Coach is trying to get some junk food or any type of food to eat and he is going from one place to another.
That is all I can remember of the episode since it has been so long since I have seen this in syndication on USA Network in the early to late 90's.

Yes, what happens is they took the dog to the vet because he wasn't feeling well and it turned out they were feeding him table scraps that made him sick. The vet thought that since Coach was eating similar food, he should diet. Cindy was already dieting at the time, although I don't see why she had too. There were good jokes, like Coach trying to get food and everyone has a picture of him given to them by Elizabeth saying not to feed this man.
shareDid they explain why the daughter was on a diet?
I'd like to see this episode sometime, too. I just found some other ones.
No, I guess they wrote that in so Coach wouldn't be there by himself. Also, Lance Slaughter, who played the Stop-N-Run clerk, appeared in the episode where a guy with Wendy tries to hold up the place, plus, he appeared as a Stop-N-Run clerk in a Growing Pains episode.
