The Torkelsons/ Almost Home S2E04 - Sleeping with the Enemy

[@AvecPoesie]

Dorothy Jane got me hooked onto the poetry of Emily Dickinson as a young girl. I am forever grateful to have had a television 📺 character of such intelligence, eloquence, and sensitivity to look up to growing up. Utterly impactful. 💛

[@steveespinola7652]

R.I.P Britney Murphy you were taken away from us too too early but at least you are at peace 🕊

[@Launchpad05]

I'm surprised learn she was in this show. Aside from a few movies, i knew her bast as Lou Ann from 'King Of The Hill', and she had blond hair afterwards. She left this world way too soon.

[@Lillyxxxo]

@@Launchpad05 thats what happens when you are a junkie . You die Sad she was talented

[@caseywyatt3288]

I love how Chucky Lee turns on the charm with the ladies

[@steveespinola7652]

I loved Mrs Torkelson's reaction to Molly's snoring, it was priceless.

[@ladylefteye]

Dorthy Jane is a character that I’ve always been able to relate to. She wise, intelligent and not very popular. She wants popularity because it seems like it’s easier.

[@sha11235]

She is very good. She is a person who has been raised with good values.

[@AvecPoesie]

Dorothy Jane was the most influential television character of my childhood. I fervently believe that character inspired the beginning of my lifelong love for literature/poetry, particularly the poems of Emily Dickinson. I adored her broad vocabulary, her deep thoughts, her sensitivity, and intelligence. Now as an adult, I still appreciate Dorothy Jane, profoundly. 💙

[@Lucailey]

@@AvecPoesie To me she has the voice of a character that makes you think that every moment is some big pivital part of growing up. The only other character ive really seen that with is Kevin Arnold in "The Wonder Years" and he had the voice over helping in that reguard lol!

[@suahannecarpenter887]

The entire torkelson family dresses alot better since moving to the city .

[@CaseyLWyatt-im1to]

Dorothy Jane still has the dress she wore when she met Riley and it was the one Ruthanne wanted which Ruthanne never got

[@jesseiese3976]

This episode makes me laugh when Dorothy Jane spilled the water on Molly for snoring out loud lol

[@sha11235]

I liked the scene where they are talking about the car wreck and the scenes with Dorothy Jane and Molly.

[@jjh1899]

Can we all agree how beautiful Olivia was

[@Lillyxxxo]

Molly was prettier

[@UnashamedCaliforniagirl]

​@@Lillyxxxonot a chance

@@UnashamedCaliforniagirl Its your opinion go argue with someone who values it. Molly was prettier get over it. My opinion

R.I.P Britney Murphy ❣️😢

[@curlyyasmin181]

Molly needs a slap

[@Zay91horne]

I Love Molly She so adorable and funny I wish I was in this tv show so I can hug her so much.

[@FlixCreEightR]

Erin Gray from Silver Spoons. This version of the show had a lot of well known names on it.

[@sha11235]

Molly: This is it, I'm not spending another night in this room! Dorothy Jane: Good, get outta here!

[@Xx_LowNSlow_xX1]

11:58 like if you've always had a crush on Dorothy😍

[@anytzalee4909]

Watched this in reruns as kid, and as a full blown adult I just cried my eyes out when Millicent said “I had that great love of my life too, unfortunately my husband didn’t think that was reason enough to stick around, and that hurt too, a lot.” To love someone deeply and think this is it, and have the person leave you has been one of the most devastating things I’ve ever experienced, so I felt that line.

[@TheMaricelVlogs]

This is such a comfort show 😌

[@sha11235]

This is like on Full House and Fuller House with Stephanie driving Joey's car into the kitchen.

[@alyssarose3880]

I thought Bill was the guy she was grounded for seeing 2 weeks ago.

[@sha11235]

I think the order in which these episodes aired were not the order they were filmed in, so don't go by that.

[@sha11235]

Where Molly would be sleeping, the picture wouldn't be staring down at her anyway. Also, notice the holes in the wall there where the picture is?

[@thebeebz9511]

Molly's Electra Complex part 1

[@sha11235]

Mr. Morgan should've said, "Now then, WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY CAR?"

[@sha11235]

I knew that Dorothy Jane was going to say "She's not twins," when she had to say something nice about Molly. I just knew it! They always do that joke.

[@kristic4472]

but she and Molly look like they could be!

[@UnashamedCaliforniagirl]

​@@kristic4472they really do. ❤

[@sha11235]

Guess the youngest kid hadn't seen Full House, where Stephanie drove Joey's car into the kitchen. Also, wonder where Elmo is?

[@nextbarker2702]

@8:04, isn't that the same doorbell used on the Golden Girls?

[@SnazzyDetritus]

Messed up of DJ's mom to force her to stay up to say nice things to bubbleheaded Molly when DJ needed the sleep for school the next day.

[@billieboybuddha4238]

The Chuckster is so smooth :)

[@Launchpad05]

Wow, Greg is aware of speculator bubble. A shame Jason Marsden isn't in The MCU.

[@needles1987]

It was funny when the hot lady laughed when asked if she has kids.

[@sha11235]

So Chuckie Lee didn't wake up from the car crashing into the wall? Never mind, he comes in in the end of the scene, so he and Gregory must've been looking at the car.

[@TacoFlavoredKissesMwah]

What happened to the other two kids from the first season?

[@mysky]

They disappeared without explanation.

[@nicoleackerman205]

Chuck Cunningham syndrome.

[@sha11235]

They were written out. I guess they felt since they were going to have Mr. Morgan have two kids they didn't need to have Millicent have all five kids now.

[@s.richardson364]

It definitely makes me crazy that they didn't even attempt an explanation for the removal of the other two kods

[@sha11235]

@@s.richardson364 I guess they felt that since not a lot of people had seen the earlier version, they wouldn't notice this.

[@Cassandraxxxxxxxxxx]

what happen to Ruth Ann and Steven Floyd

[@MizzConceited69]

HIS DATE LOOKS JUST LIKE Millicent's FRIEND FROM SEASON ONE THAT TOLD HER DORTHY JANE'S POEMS WOULD BLOW UP IN HER FACE

[@sarahdixon9254]

cool

[@EmilyGloeggler7984]

This should have been the end to the series, honestly. Having Millicent reaffirm that she already had the great love of her life, even if he was a cad and abandoned his family and she didn't want anymore. For some people in real life, one love in their life is all one needs. I'm the same way. If something ever happened to my husband Frank, he will never be replaced by anyone trying to become be a spouse or partner in future. ^_^

[@abba4life37]

I appreciate the beauty in having "one-true-love," its a theme throughout the show in both seasons, but of course I would love more episodes of The Torkelsons: Almost Home! :)

[@nikkijo9999]

I never understood why they would ruin a good show like the torkelsons.

[@Catgirl2021]

Dorothy’s mom reminds me of my own mom.

[@marliem.5575]

The ending was so funny, I totally took Millicent's side.

[@kayliemercer1273]

12:27 pig snort

[@jennyoneill8879]

Damn dorothy got her own room again

[@sha11235]

The episodes didn't air in order in which they filmed them, so there are discrepancies here. If you go on wikipedia and look at the list of episodes, look at the production codes for season 2. The way to know the order is to start with 201 and keep counting up. Notice they are not in order because it is listed by air date.

[@natvan29]

I know and Mary sue had to share a room with their mom I am guessing chuckie Lee got his own room as well cause we know on the first one he wasn't sharing with the other boy and if they did have to share then Molly and Dorthy Jane should have shared as they were the same age they were both 15

[@matthewbaduria]

It's so similar to Who's The Boss.the storylines are similar to Who's The Boss.but same.

[@tnawcwvictoria]

Like WOW, Erin Gray from Silver Spoons and Buck Rogers in the 25th Century She was and still is gorgeous Millicent Torkelson meets Kate Summers Stratton, where's Ricky Schroeder, Joel Higgins and Alfonso Ribeiro when you need them?

[@sha11235]

Alfonso was on Fresh Prince, playing midget Carlton.

Yes, Kate Summers Stratton dating Cody Allen from Riptide NBC back in the 80's had awesome shows

[@liquidninja6654]

Damn Erin Gray is smoking hot here. Tissue time!

[@alyssarose3880]

Dorothy Jane is so stuck up. I can't stand her sometimes.

[@FlatOnHisFace]

You sound pretty snobbish. Why so judgmental? Did she not offer to share her room with a girl that barely tolerates her out of the goodness of her heart? I fail to see how you could interpret her as being stuck up.

[@ladylefteye]

FlatOnHisFace thank you. Dorthy Jane is a nice person. Molly is the one who thinks she better. She’s always insulting Dorthy Janes looks. From the very beginning Dorthy Jane tried to be nice to Molly.

[@SnazzyDetritus]

@Alyssa Rose That says a lot about you. Does she bother you because she calls out unintelligent idiots like Molly?

[@beyourownmuse8297]

Nobodies perfect

[@sha11235]

She is not stuck up. She is a very bright person with good values. Compare her to Molly, who could be a Kelly Bundy type.

[@curlyyasmin181]

The father is so boring. Could they not find someone better like uncle Jesse from full house?

[@Wildcock23]

Curly Yasmin Perry King is a very good, underrated actor. Check out his movies “Class of 1984” and “Mandingo”

[@tnawcwvictoria]

@@Wildcock23 Perry King is also best known for playing Cody Allen on another NBC Show-The Detective Series Riptide and that was another underrated show Perry King Co-Starred in the classic 80's series on NBC with Joe Penny of Jake and the Fatman and Thom Bray of the FOX Series Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
