Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

CybrTygr I came across this show because of Edward James Olmos. And although I'm not Latino, I still find the show has many aspects that many people will find hit home. Each character in the show brings something from the different points of view in life. I'll admit I mostly lean toward Olmos' character and what he goes through to what he feels is right for the family. After all, it's not easy being a father (or admittingly a mother either). It was also saddening to see Conrado die doing what he felt was right and trying to make a difference. I think most people who see this can relate to at least one character in this show, and I hope PBS will be able to keep it going.

Mercy Bell (mercybell) What a beautiful series. Gregory Nava is a genius, and PBSshould be given an award for taking it on. It blends a culturallytraditional undercurrent with a modern and hip style, and utilizesinteresting filming techniques that wraps you into the story. Thisseries is vibrant with culture, color, and life, and can sometimesbe staggeringly emotional.Heartfelt, eccentric, and sometimes rib crackingly funny, "AmericanFamily" brings a very misunderstood side of American life to thelimelight and paints an intriguingly entertaining representation of adysfunctional yet incredibly loving family.... and does it brilliantly.

celluloidmuggins I just happened to come across this show and stopped because Edward James Olmos was in it. This is an excellent show, at first I thought it was a movie it was so well done. BOO CBS, for dropping such a wonderful show. Thank goodness for PBS, once again they save a meaningful program that illustrates the diversity of America.

Peter L. Wargo After hearing the creator of the show interviewed on KPBS, I had to watch it. This show was piloted for CBS, but they ended up rejecting it. PBS picked it up, and I'm glad they did. This show is considerably better than most of the pap served up on the major networks, and has an incredible cast. This is a beautiful story about a family that is both funny and dramatic at the same time. (Much like life!) This show is truly worth watching.
