Everwood

I tend to get caught up in these "teen" dramas. I didn't want to start watching another "teen" drama like I did with 90210 and Dawson's Creek, but one day a few episodes into the first season I caught an episode. It was good. Figures. The thing different about this, than Dawson's Creek, was a larger focus on the adults of the show. Other shows would have adults and sometimes they would be a big focus, but they weren't every day characters. I like how "Everwood" is like that. I didn't get into this show for a while because I was still watching the creek. Finally after an "Everwood" marathon, I said forget it I am going to watch this. I caught up on missed episodes and watched this season fresh.

The show is about a family (The Browns) who move to Everwood, CO from New York after the death of their mother. The father was a brain surgeon and one of the best in the country. He didn't spend much time with his family, so after the move there was allot of rebuilding. There were many fights between Andy Brown (father) and Ephram Brown (son). There is also Delia Brown (little sister). Andy starts a free clinic and competes (so to speak) with the only doctor in town, Harold Abbott. There is Ephram's odd relationship with Amy Abbott. I am not going to go into it all because there is really allot, but I wanted to give a basic idea.

This show does a good job of exploring both the teen and parent lives. It has high quality episodes that are good for all ages and tackles important topics, like all "teen" dramas do. I would recommend this as a good show for all people to watch. Just because it is a "teen" drama doesn't mean you have to be a teen to enjoy or understand it.

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

"Everwood" is far and away the best show ever to have been on the WB, and is probably the best show currently on television. It deserved a slew of Emmy nominations this year that it didn't receive because the Academy has an anti-WB bias. It's a shame,because if the Academy were to pay the show some mind, they would find it's the most tender, touching, and achingly real family drama since "Once and Again". Amy's depression and the way it slowly started to tear apart the Abbott family was one of the most powerful story lines I have ever seen on any show, thanks in large part to Tom Amandes, Merrilyn Gann, Emily Van Camp, and Chris Pratt, who play the Abbotts with such passion and energy. It's a shame this show doesn't get the attention and recognition it deserves. It's a real treasure.

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.

This is a great show. Superb acting, good story-line and characters that are flawed making them more than just shallow stereotypes.

Great writing and it brings on topics that affects all of us, no matter where in the world one might be. OK, it does get a little too "cute" and "sappy" at times, but that's alright because every other episode I watch actually makes me care! And that has to count for something.

It's got laughs, cries, anger, resentment, jealousy.. All of which are trades of being human. I love these kinds of shows. MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE! YEAH!

A great treat (pun intended).
