Da un giorno all'altro

This ahow 1998-2002. I was 13. Today I am 35. It seems like our country was on the right track in the beginning of the millenium. After 20 years, I thought racism discrimination & hate would have abaded by now, not become worse. I love history. There is always a wholesome message and I always learn something about the 1960's generation. I don't want you to get the wrong impression of this show. When I watch "Any Day Now" I feel happy and safe. It is my way to escape from the world. Afterwards, I always feel uplifted.

Normally, I pretty much dislike anything that comes on Lifetime due to the fact that most of their show's come off as being anti-male. However, this is a wonderfully written show and it is more than just about the relationship of two young girls that grew up in the final days of segregation. Annie Potts is delightful as M.E. and Lorraine Touissant is wonderful as Rene. Touissant's performance on the show is even more incredible due to the fact that she was only a child when the flashbacks occurred. Also, Chris Mulkey is great as Collier. Even though he tries to be a tough talking beer drinker, he still gives Collier a sense of vulnerabillty. This show definitely breaks Lifetime's reputation for "man bashing" and show's that they can produce a great show.

I had never seen the show "Any Day Now" until I did "extra" work on the show last month. I had seen advertisements of the show and was interested in seeing it. While doing the "extra" work I found the cast to be pleasant. Annie Potts is an outstanding actress who shows the quality of a veteran actor. After spending the day on the sets and then viewing the current show I was impressed with the concept of the show which made me want to watch it every Tuesday night. I hope this show stays around and grows into a familiar show to many.

OK, for starters, Sunshine14clr...it's obvious that you are young, and misinformed, as well as undereducated. How would you know what life was like back then, except for what you've read and been told? Please put some SERIOUS consideration into looking up both liberal and propaganda in the dictionary, and be more careful about how you use words; if you don't know the meaning, don't use them! As for correcting you on your "opinion", you're welcome to it, just think before you speak, or you come across as a silly little girl.

To Ann Bowman...are you SURE you were watching Any Day Now??? The show's writers are ALL veterans of the business, and the point was the friendship itself, through all their personal issues, be it the times, family, or just differences of opinion. As for it being based on what's "fresh with Oprah fans", unless it's a DAILY show, it would be impossible to keep up.

To chrish1...call yourself what you want, the flag got burned, people were killed for the color of their skin, and however you word it, racism is racism...and the South LOST..GET OVER IT!!!

and lastly, to rvajs...try watching more than one show...

My mom got me hooked on this show. It's very well done. My mom lived during the 60's... ahem. And I believe she befriended a girl who was black. Though when she stuck up for that person, the teachers docked my mom via her grades. Bad bad bad. This show seems real enough. Right thru the modern scenes. I like what they did with the black and color flashbacks.

The only thing I was disappointed in was the final seasons. The original girls who played Rene and M. E. Were far better than their dull replacments. :(

From the look of it, they replaced them in the final years with better known actresses, perhaps in an effort to save the show. Bad mistake.
