Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Great Film overall

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

I was fortunate to have gotten the entire series & just watched it from beginning to end. (It was hard not to!) I had forgotten how good this series was. I found myself laughing and crying - all within the same episode. The chemistry between all of the characters was magical. Was it the writers? the actors? the director? .... all of the above? I particularly enjoyed the relationship between Joe (Richard Kiley) and his grandson David. When this series first came out, I appreciated that it was one of the only thing on TV worth watching. When it was abruptly canceled, there was no explanation to be found anywhere - though I recalled Richard Kiley remarking that it was "political". Perhaps this was the reason why it was never shown as a rerun nor likely to be aired again? In any event, I have the complete series ... and it's definitely a keeper!

I remember liking this show a lot when it was on the air. It took me awhile to find the name of it because I was looking for the name through Jason Robards. I kind of remembered him as playing the father. But I finally located it through Sarah Jessica Parker. I was around 16 or 17 when it was on the air, so the details are a little vague almost 20 years later. I sort of remember the father being disappointed in one of the sons for some reason and I thought there was a little trouble between the son and his wife played by Sarah Jessica Parker. For some reason, I thought they weren't together anymore but that she was still close to the family. I do remember being disappointed that the show was canceled. I was hoping I could find this show on DVD and am upset that I can't. If anyone can help me out with this, please contact me at

I agree that this was a simply wonderful, heartwarming and intelligently written show. Richard Kiley was at his best. How it lasted only one season just shows that networks care more about shows appealing to a mass audience -- just witness the endless reality TV shows on now.If anyone has tapes of this show I would TOO love to see it again. I had taped a few episodes when it aired but my NO CLUTTER sister tossed them when she "helped" me move -- it was like a free-for-all with stuff leaving I didn't even know what was going out the door.Another quality show that came and went quickly and starred "Early Edition's" dreamboat Kyle Chandler was "Homefront."

This started out as a mini-series and then ran as a regular series for a short time. I would like to see it again in either reruns, or it should be remade. As I recall, much of the music that was a part of each episode was popular at the time, so that may be one of the reasons why we do not see it in reruns. Never-the-less, the storyline was very good and the cast of characters were a good blend. Fans of Sarah Jessica Parker would enjoy seeing her in her role as a free-spirited young woman involved with a rather conservative young man. If it is being shown as a re-run somewhere, please tell me when and where. Thank you.
