    I must be among the minority

    Regarding the TV series "Going to Extremes" I didn't realize so few people liked this series. I loved it for the message it gave to me. Some may view me as simplistic, everyone's entitled to their opinion, but I must say I was greatly surprised more people didn't love this show. I'm looking forward to owning the series on DVD so I can continue to enjoy the shows. It would be good to know what is it that was so unappealing about this show. Perhaps if someone was to enlighten me, I would then be able to see it from another point of view. You won't be able to change my feelings about it, but I'd like to hear from you and get your view point. To me, the characters were totally believable, the situation regarding American students having to travel to an island to complete their medical education for a lesser cost is totally feasible, isn't it?? After all, the cost of education in the US is huge and I thought that the reasoning was sound. It's a shame it was so very short and there aren't many episodes - still if possible, I aim to own them all!! I know, I know - I'm hopeless!!

    great premise...

    Solid show that didn't last long enough. Basically it was Northern Exposure set in the Caribbean...quirky characters, doctors, and all. Definitely deserved a better fate, or at least a better time slot.

    Also Loved This Show

    I am also part of this minority. I loved this show along with its very quirky characters. The island setting was beautiful. The different situations the American students found themselves in made for some pretty funny and at times educational situations. They should release the series on DVD. I remember one episode where the students were trying to get an appliance repaired. Each time they went to the repairman's place of business, he was out or away. He kept some pretty strange hours. the shop would be open only on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday or something and since he was the boss, he made his own hours. Not uncommon in the Caribbean. :)
