Everwood

Everwood. The story of a man and his family, whom upon a tragic death, uproot their life in New York city and move to Everwood, Colorado.

Treat Williams pulls off a fine display as Dr. Andrew Brown, a single father trying to restart his life after an emotional loss. Andy tries hard to fix things, be it a local marriage, the town's awareness of STDs, or his less than perfect relationship with his son, Ephram, played by Gregory Smith. Ephram, a gifted pianist, has his own troubles to deal with... notably his "new guy" status and the connection he makes with Amy Abbot, daughter of his father's medical rival and girlfriend of the local 'Mr. Popular'.

All in all, the series plays out wonderfully. The lush setting of Everwood keeps it far from the fancy glitz often seen in today's television, and gives the show a home feel to it. The developing characters weave together a complete picture of the mountain town. A place where everyone knows one another, and community is hard to avoid.

In my personal opinion, Everwood is one of the best shows on television today. With as much emphasis as there is being put on bright lights and big city, it is refreshing to find a down to earth realistic show that doesn't scream for attention through forced drama and scandalous plot.

Personal rating: 10/10

I think Everwood is my favorite new show of the season. The only thing they have in common is that they are both on the WB. A better comparison would be "Everwood" and "Gilmore Girls", but I enjoy this so much better because the acting is better, the characters are better, the scenery is better and the dialogue is better and they don't have that "fast talking Comedic formula" punchline that the Gilmore Girls use about 1,000 times an episode. Don't get me wrong, "Gilmore Girls" is a pretty good show, but this show is better. This show is DEFINATELY worth your time, so don't miss it. The characters of Ephram and Amy have great chemistry and Treat Williams does a fantastic job as Dr. Brown.

A great show. A

I have been watching this show since they aired the pilot episode in 2002. And I have been a fan ever since. However don't expect this to be a sugarcoated "fan commentary". If I have to get real, then i will.

I enjoy Everwood because I am a big fan of drama, which Everwood is usually full of. There were eps advertised and you'd think it'd be a 7th Heaven-esque type of episode, but every ep has a point or a twist. Gregory as Ephram is very funny, in his own sarcastic way, very melodramatic. And he's cute to boot. The storyline is fantastic, and the characters continue to develop. I'll admit that sometimes the drama is a little over the top and unrealistic, but that's why we watch TV right? I also enjoy the characters Dr. Andy Brown, Amy, and Amy's father Dr.Abbott. Dr. Brown, for his eccentricity. I look at him as a lost soul, sort of. He seems torn between many things, which makes him interesting. It also gives his character the ability to develop. Amy for her realness. She's in the spotlight, with her father the town's family doctor and her mom the mayor(or something to that effect) of Everwood. However, she's not a goody-goody Lucy Camden. Neither is she the rebellious Mary. She's real. Period. Dr. Abbott for his sarcastic remarks, like Ephram. He hides his true feelings, fears, and beliefs behind a wall of tough love, and somber, yet funny, jokes. That's saying a lot considering I'm 17. The rest of the cast rounds out the show very well. And temporary characters, such as Colin Hart and Madison make for good plot. Overall, the show is entertainment well done, and that's very rare.

If you're missing this show, you're missing out on a good piece of meat. When everyone else is serving appetizers, this shows serves up the entire meal.

I might be saying this just because I'm hungry, lol.

Watch the show if you haven't. And continue to support it if you have. EVERWOOD ROX!

I like the series, but the teenagers are too bratty with too many cute phrases. Love both of the doctors and Dr. Brown's nurse. It is pleasant, does not take a mental giant to watch it.

As the second season of "Everwood" has gotten underway, I have moved this show up in my ranking-it has now become my second favorite show of all time behind "Once and Again". Although "Once and Again" was a superb, one of a kind show, "Everwood" possesses many stylistic and thematic similarities to the prior show. It also boasts excellent acting from its adult as well as teenage cast. "Everwood"'s two core families-the Browns and the Abbotts-are written as real people with strengths and weaknesses, and played by talented actors who bring these characters to life. Greg Berlanti has proven with this show that he has the ability to make a contemporary family drama that can be popular as well as real. "Everwood" is definitely my second favorite show of all time.
