Meet the Bankstons
This was Robert Mitchum's only attempt at a television series up to this point and
it didn't quite work out. Only 9 episodes of A Family For Joe were filmed before the
series got the ax.
Mitchum reprises his role as the faux grandfather for the Bankstons who without his presence in the home the kids would be split up to foster parents or orphanages. The two older kids have a wider age spread with the two younger kids here than in the film. The kids are David Lascher, Juliette Lewis, Ben Savage, and Jessica Player the only one to repeat her role from the film.
The movie had some sweet and poignant moments in it. This series is your typical family situation comedy.
Never thought I'd see Robert Mitchum with a laugh track.
