EIGHT IS TOO ROUGH
MAD #201, September 1978
w: Lou Silverstone
a: Angelo Torres

Dramedy about a family that, as you can guess from the title, has eight kids. The father is Tom Bradford (Dick Van Patten) and in this parody he is married to his second wife Abby (Betty Buckley). One of his daughters is Elizabeth (Connie Newton) and his youngest son is Nicholas (Adam Rich)

Abby is studying for her PhD. It was not Tommy (Willie Aames) that replaced the role Mark Hamill had in the pilot (that was the Star Wars joke), but older brother David (Grant Goodeve).

Tom Bradford was a columnist for the local paper. The older brother mentioned before has his own apartment.

A recurring character was Dr. Maxwell (Michael Thoma) and his wife (Virginia Vincent). The parody has the same punchline as their Jeffersons parody a year earlier.

The actress that played Susan on the show was one of MAD's celebrities of the month.
