I really liked this show for two reasons:
(1) Dorothy Jane was so philosophical and so easy to relate to, despite our gap in ages. I really admired her.

(2) Steven Floyd was just really cute. I had a crush on him.

im so glad other people know about this show. Every time I mention it to other people they look at me like i have a arm growing out of my head...I remember every Tues at 5pm id grab a drink and a blanket and hop in the recliner and watch

i love this show it was one of my favorites on the disney channel. i used to watch it all time.

I loved The Torkelsons. The first season has about 20 episodes and they were all great. Even when the show was renamed to "Almost home" and they changed up the cast, the show still had potential. Too bad it was cut short.

It went off the air, then they brought it back and called it "Almost Home" but they cut a bunch of the kids from the show. It was kind of funny, seeing them go around acting like they never had their other siblings.

this was my favorite show when I was little. I remember it came on at 5pm on Tuesdays on the Disney channel. I cannot find it on DVD, like most old shows due to getting permission from the music writers/composers. I wish they had a channel for retro shows so older people can enjoy their youth again!

I found this on DVD at ioffer.com. I LOVE IT! SOOOO CUTE! My favorite episode is the one where they are selling jam roadside and the local grocery store manager is pitching a fit and has the shut down. So funny!

Yeah i loved this show i watched it all the time!!! I had the biggest crush on Dorothy jane i thought she was so cute and loved her acent!!

OMG.... I REMEMBER THIS SHOW.... IT WAS GREAT...

it sucked it was only on a yr but it was a cool show

I remember episodes in which the daughter whose name I think might've been Dorothy jane or something bought a second hand prom dress. and then there was an episode where some snobby girl has a sweet 16 party and the dorothy girl's friends all ditch her to go to it. or something to that extent...

I remember Britney Murphy's character...and the one episode I remember is when Joey Lawrence guest starred as this dude who was the manager of some chicken joint and the two girls got into this water fight and ended up ripping Joey Lawrence's shirt off...it was crazy but thats what I remember...ha ha ha good times
