In most respects, the extended-length pilot episode of Eight is Enough bears a close resemblance to the series that follows, with Sacramento columnist Tom Bradford (Dick Van Patten) presiding over a rambunctious but loving brood of eight independent-minded children. Also, the series wastes no time plunging the Bradford clan into a maelstrom of crises: oldest son David has a fight with his father and moves out of the house, youngest son Nicholas needs his tonsils removed, and daughter Elizabeth is arrested on a drug-possession charge! Appearing in the pilot are Mark Hamill as 23-year-old David Bradford, Kimberly Beck as 18-year-old Nancy Bradford and Chris English as 14-year-old Tommy Bradford. But by the time the series' first season "officially" began one week after its debut, Grant Goodeve had taken over as David, Dianne Kay as Nancy and Willie Aames as Tommy. The rest of the series' younger actors were carried over from the pilot, including Lani O'Grady as 21-year-old Mary, Laurie Walters as 20-year-old Joannie, Susan Richardson as 19-year-old Susan, Connie Needham as 15-year-old Elizabeth and Adam Rich as 8-year-old Nicholas. Also retained from the pilot is Diana Hyland as the Bradford children's mother Joan. Tragically, Hyland died on March 27, 1977, after filming only four episodes; her last appearances in the episodes "Pieces of Eight" and "Turnabout" were telecast posthumously. To explain her absence from the remainder of the season, the writers contrived to have Joan "away" from the family on an extended visit; the character would not be officially declared deceased until the opening episode of Season Two. Among those showing up in guest roles during the first season of Eight is Enough are Janis Paige as Tom's freewheeling sister Vivian, an "Auntie Mame" clone; Adrienne Barbeau as an older woman with whom David Bradford becomes briefly infatuated; and Charlene Tilton as Tommy's "dream girl" Wendy.
