Hope Island

I have watched every single episode a few times now and I would still watch it all over again in a heart beat as it has everything a family could want. Why oh why are all the good shows...NO great shows like Hope put out to pasture. Maybe the following at first was not great but now there is a following so why can it not be brought back. Lord knows there is very little on the air worth watching. If the producers do come by these sites then to them I say consider bringing it back as many people love this show. Before my Mother passed away she loved watching Hope Island and she was so upset when it was canceled.The setting on Vancouver Island was the perfect choice and I hope one day to visit the place of filming.

I am not a big TV fan. And, I highly recommend Hope Island for anyone who is tired of the usual network programming. Hope Island is a refreshing alternative to shows that pass for programming on most networks. Hope Island makes up for it's lack of violence, gratuitous sex, mean spirited humor, and offensive scripts with a cast of lovable and believable characters.

I find myself rooting for the `good guys' who seem to struggle with the same questions in life that I struggle with. In a few short episodes, I have formed an attachment to and affection for the characters on Hope Island.

In addition, the show is especially well crafted. For those of you who find the sloppy production that is the norm offensive, Hope Island is a treat. I am especially impressed with the sound editing. I am constantly amazed by the subtle and effective use of sound in Hope Island to convey just the right mood for the scene.

I woke up one morning and buy accident i turned on TV and saw episode of Hope Island, since two weeks ago ,now i wake up every morning at 9 to watch it ,its very nice show , smooth, everyday story about people on hope island, i don't know , i was reading that this show is canceled after 1 season , and that made me feel very bad, show is super. and i have enough on TV of this stupid shows like Bold and Beautiful , As the world turns , etc,etc who are running since years ,and now finally one decent series comes on TV and they cancel it , i hope in future they make more of such a series like Hope Island , its just started in my country so i will enjoy while i can to watch it , drinking in the morning my few cups of coffee and enjoying the series , I give it 10* , its really wonderful show !!

I am so excited about this show. I just started watching it a few weeks ago on Vision TV - in Canada. I absolutely love it! I find the characters interesting and the story line great. It is hard to find shows on TV that are free of swearing, adultery, drugs, etc. This is a great show for the whole family. It is funny, moving, and it has captured my attention. My 11 year old son even likes it. It is easy, relaxing, and a nice break from the other shows out there. Watching it I find I can almost enter their world and forget about all the stresses of my own life. When the show is over I always feel refreshed and uplifted. The acting by all the characters is great. Each character portrays different personalities.

This is the Americanized version of "Ballykissangel" from Ireland (Just like "Three's Company" was based upon a British show). It was a very good series for the family, just like the Irish series. The characters were 3 dimensional and human and the acting was 8 out of 10. Too bad the series was cancelled by PAX-TV after only one season. The similarities between the Irish and the American versions were actually quite amusing. When they cast 'Kevin' the policeman in the American version, they found an actor who could be a brother of the actor in the Irish version.
