Married? Single?

"The show was created by Whitney Blake and Allan Manings, a husband-and-wife writing duo who were both actors in the 1950s and 1960s. The show was based on Whitney Blake's own life as a single mother..." I'm sure this makes sense if you know what really went on, but it should be clarified -- the first sentence depicts Whitney as married, the second as single -- did she have the kid before her marriage? After her divorce? GeneCallahan (talk) 07:45, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

It seems clear enough. If she was a single mother and wrote about that experience with her husband, she must have been a single mother before she married him. She could hardly have written the show and then beocme the single mother she'd written about. Her daughter's surname being something other than Blake or Manings makes it clear that Blake had the daughter with someone other than Manings. We don't know whether Blake was ever married to Meredith Baxter's father, but that doesn't matter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.100.203.73 (talk) 07:51, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Theme Song

Does it go against policy to display the theme song lyrics? - NBK1122 20:15, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Syndication

As recent as January 2007, "One Day at a Time" is back on the Comcast On Demand channel. Under "Tube Time" so the information in the article is incorrect. 75.75.176.243 (talk) 02:11, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

First episode & Deja View

Julie's age is stated as 16, not 17 by Ann because she won't let Julie go on a mixed sex camping trip.

Schneider hits on Ann and to which Ann reminds him that he has a wife downstairs in his apartment; so he's married. What happened to his wife?

Reruns just started on Monday, January 5, 2009 on Canadian diginet Deja View. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Macshill (talk • contribs) 08:25, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Schneider's wife was gone a few episodes later. I think she ran off with Richie and Joanie Cunningham's older brother :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.22.115.88 (talk) 05:26, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Premarital Sex

In the article it mentions Barbara dealing with premarital sex but that comes up later in the series. Julie brings the issue up in the first season in Episode 8 "All the Way". 24.22.115.88 (talk) 05:25, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Wasn't the mother a recovering alcoholic?

Hence the title? Ifnkovhg (talk) 06:05, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

As if the saying can't be used in any other way? Really, I've heard it used by a lot of different people in many situations where they have to cope with thigns. Like, say, divorce. :-)108.87.77.177 (talk) 00:09, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
