In response to "Unintentionally hilarious" by silent doug_1

My sister HAD to watch the show every week, and it a misery. I'm so glad my dad could see it the way you did. He riffed the show and made it hilarious.

It was just a terrible, dry, Sears Roebuck attired saltine cracker of a show.

There was nothing redeemable about about any of the characters. Even today, when we come across bland unappealing 'acceptable' in a social way families my brother and I nudge each other and mutter, "Apple's Way People".

Trivia
"Apple's Way" was a mid-season replacement for "The New Perry Mason." The series did not gain the ratings CBS had hoped for, partly because it had to compete with NBC's long-running Top 20 hit "The Wonderful World of Disney" and ABC's popular crime drama "The F.B.I." The concept was "re-booted" in the second season to focus on plots that dealt more with such issues (such as freedom of speech, drug use, terminal illness) as opposed to the more rural-specific plots of the first season. The second season was produced by successful veteran producer-writer John Furia Jr, who hired Worley Thorne as story editor. The series was canceled during its second season and replaced with "Cher."
