Snakkle Looks Back at the Cast of Eight Is Enough, Over 30 Years Later
Eight Is Enough (1977-1981), was a full hour-long and with a laugh track, making it a tough show to categorize. While often quite funny, almost every episode was "very special," one of TV's first "dramedies." For five seasons—not enough—audiences watched the Bradford family "fill their lives with love."

Dick Van Patten (Tom Bradford)
Now: Van Patten has acted on numerous TV series, everything from The Love Boat to Arrested Development. He also founded the pet food company Natural Balance and published a memoir, Eighty Is Not Enough. Now 83 years young, he is STILL acting, making appearances on TV shows like That 70s Show [natch] to Hot in Cleveland in 2012.
