TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

AerosmithBlueArmy This is a fabulous show that did an exceptional job at capturing the events of the 60s and the lives of one family. The min family is Jack, the father, who is a small business owner in Philadelpia. Helen, the mother, who is a stay at home mom who wants to do more with her life. JJ, the oldest son, who is a senior in high school and the star of the football team. Meg is a sophomore and loves American Bandstand. Patty is in elementary school and is very intelligent. Will is the youngest and has a disability with his leg due to a previous illness. They use a lot of real footage from the news and American bandstand that aired during the time period. It shows how people dealt with a decade of change, integration and turmoil. The actors and actresses did an outstanding job. the first season is available on DVD however there is no word yet on the release of season 2.

starryone12000 Can someone let me know if the ending of American dreams was shown? If not any idea when....they put on stupid shows and take the best ones off and NBC wonders why they aren't number 1 anymore? Seems t o me that NBC doesn't much listen to its viewers....everyone i know would be right in front of the TV Sunday nights, reminiscent of the days of my youth when every Sunday night the family watched Ed Sullivan and shows like that. It was a great show and brought me right back to when i was a teenager.. the music was great, the storyline was great, the actors were wonderful, why did they take it off? What good are Nielsen ratings if they don't tell what the American fans are really watching and how greedy is NBC....

patriot217 This is a great show. It is about a hard-working American family during Vietnam. It is also interesting because there are many other conflicts within the plot. Very well done AS A RESPONSE TO THE FIRST POST For number 1 I can't stand it when people bad mouth the USA the MAIN THING is that you aren't even American. So shut your trap. My father was in Vietnam and fought for this country. and when our vets. came home they were treated like..well never mind. Yes, America is proud of what it does right or wrong. we have to stay together and support our country. Just because I dislike our president doesn't mean i dislike my country.USA

tweety_bird3001 I absolutely love this DVD box set, it is amazing. All of the episodes from the first song, Uptight, are full of energy with excellent acing, and strong dialogue. One of the best things about the series is the key issues that are dealt with in this decade of change. 1963 is when this series starts and the Pryors and walkers are propelled into the turbulent sixties with the death of the beloved president JFK.here is part of the review found on my fan website..."I was ecstatic when I heard that first season was coming out on DVD!. The box set is a set of 7 CD's each having 4 episodes on them, except for disk 7 which only includes the season finale, "city on fire." Looking back at the first season is amazing, you would not believe how young Patty and Will looked, they were so adorable. The extras were okay and I especially enjoyed the two commentary's. There are three commentary's for episode number 100 (the pilot) and the season finale (episode 125). The first one is by the producers Dick Clark and Jonathan Prince, the second the entire cast and third Meg and Roxanne. I recommend listening to all three. They all provide insightful information on the production of the show and each member offers their take on character development and the show. The commentary on the season finale also is enlightening as they show the connectivity between the first and last episode and how JJ and Meg matured and existed the innocence of the 1950's. The 30 minute time capsule hosted by NBC's new anchor Brian Willson is very insightful and connects the show to the turbulent years. Moreover, there are back to bandstand clips with actual footage of American Bandstand. However, that is peaty well it, except a music video staring Meg and Roxanne. I hope that when second season comes out some outtakes/deleted scenes will be added as well as more commentaries as they were great! None the less, I highly recommend buying the box set, it is a great addition to any fans collection!" The DVD is a great way to relive the memories of the sixties and this Emmy award wining show.
