American Dreams - Season One (2002)

One of my all-time favorite shows

Ahh, I love American Dreams. I rewatch all three seasons every year around the holidays because they're such feel-good shows, especially the season 3 Christmas episode. Like everyone else, I'm dying for seasons 2 and 3 to be released on dvd, but to pacify me until then I bought "unofficial" copies from fellow "tvaddicts" online. I prefer the widescreen format as it originally aired, so I also downloaded it from certain fan websites.

As to the Season 1 dvd, it's a nice collection. It's packaged well and there are suffient special features. It would have been nice to have a behind the scenes featurette, but also the absence of one makes the Pryor family seem more like a real family and less like actors playing a part. Great show! I wish I were a Pryor! November 4, 2008

The best

This is precisely what a television show is supposed to be. It was so beautifully done. Superb writing, actors, and of course, music. Broke my heart when it was cancelled. Shows like AMERICAN DREAMS just don't happen. It had something to say, with a truly original and entertaining way to say it. I still miss it and watch SEASON 1 over and over. It still makes me laugh, cry, and feel the emotion of the times and the characters.

It is time to release SEASON 2 & SEASON 3, please... October 29, 2008

This show is great... however...

Ok, I won't relist all of the discriptions again or tell you about the show, see all the other reviews ... all I will say is this is an amazingly good show. I never saw it when it originally aired, but decided to buy it on DVD and take a chance, and for the most part I'm glad that I did... my only warning is = I never saw season 2 and 3 and now I have been left waiting for years with what looks like no hope in sight of ever seeing the other two seasons. So if you have never seen this show, you might want to pass, or you'll get hooked on something great and may never get to see the rest... September 23, 2008

Awesome Series

A great show at a great price on Amazon. It is really unfortunate that the other two seasons haven't come out and its even more unfortunate that they most likely won't come out. September 17, 2008

The Way It Definitely Was!

This was a spectacularly superior show. Superb casting, writing, and direction: Watching it was reliving my childhood days in the tumultous '60s exactly all over again. OK, they took a few liberties with some of the music, chronological datewise, but they were very close. But the pervasive atmosphere, social mores, and superb use of cameo TV show spots and pop songs (a surprising number the actual hit versions rather than redos) make this as close to how it really was back then as you'll ever get. With 80% of today's public feeling that America is on the wrong track, this show provides a refreshing glimpse at a time when a troubled America was on the RIGHT track! I would highly recommend this DVD. WHERE ARE SEASONS 2 AND 3 ON DVD??? August 18, 2008
