This was a great show and should have had more time to find its audience. The storyline and cast were very memorable. If the network had given it a chance they would have had a hit for the target market.
Relativity was the best show ever. I loved it so much, I can't wait for it to go on DVD. It was so beautiful and well written, and the acting was Superb. I cried when they took it off after one season. I would pay so buy this, and I would probably wear it out and need another one. Adam Goldberg did a fabulous job as the Love-struck Doug. I love him, and have seen him do other things not that great, but what made this role so good was the Hot chemistry between him and Karen. It was the classic true love that all women dream of. People need dreams, get this timeless show on DVD. The world, or at least my world would be a much better place.

This show was amazing with lots of substance, character and great stories and wonderful acting. Something lacking in a lot of the crap that's on today (and even when this came on there was a lot of junk on). TVGuide even predicted, in it's annual preview of new shows, that it probably wouldn't last because it was really good with lots of substance and intelligence, and they were right. I watched it from day one until it went off and because I knew it probably wouldn't last with today's (even back then) unimaginative and dimwitted audiences, I taped it. I also pray and hope they put it on DVD on day. The romance, the development of the relationship between the two leads, who were so amazing together, the reality of a relationship after the pixie dust wears off a little and how to deal with that, was all handled very well. GREAT SHOW, FANTASTIC SHOW!! Too bad they don't put stuff like this on TV anymore, just lots of crappy reality shows, blah!!
A sweet show. Definitely more of a drama than the nighttime soap-opera many may have thought of it as, and in a situation that many could relate (no pun intended) to. The opening episode has Isabele returning from a trip abroad where she met and started a relationship with a man other than her fiancé, who was waiting at home. What follows is a deep study of how old friends and relatives by-proxy remain that way and intertwine with new ones.
I definitely would suggest it if you can catch it in reruns (I haven't seen it listed anywhere) and will be buying it as a gift for a friend who absolutely adored the show.

This was a charming series, and probably from ABC's perspective producers Zwick and Herskowitz's "second strike" after the short run of their MY SO-CALLED LIFE, and before the undersupported but three-season run of ONCE AND AGAIN. THIRTYSOMETHING, their briefly hit series from several seasons previously, had been a trendsetter, if a bit precious to my taste; MY/LIFE, their followup dealing with teens, had been an improvement, and surely has reverberated with its audience in a way few series have; RELATIVITY, dealing primarily with a couple in their twenties and their families, friends, and colleagues, was better yet, and deserved much more support from network and audience alike. (ONCE AND AGAIN, the FORTYSOMETHING show which followed, was even better, as far as I'm concerned, but that doesn't diminish the excellent quality of this neglected series.) Yes, let's have those DVDs!
