Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

mleacock I would give this television series a 10 plus if i could. The writers were "smack on" and I think the best actors and actresses were a bonus to the show.These characters were so real. One could tell that from the two main actresses Ms. Toussaint & Ms. Potts that their relationship on & off camera was genuine It didn't just end when you hear those familiar words "Cut" at the end of a "Take". The show has thought me a lot about life for e.g. Historical struggles, tragedies and triumphs,relationships,every day situations, every household have same situations no matter who the members are, it really came down to just being a wonderful family show that at the end of every episode, you can just sit on your living room couch and say to yourself "now what did i learn from this particular episode".I must say I have taped most of the episodes and i find myself watching them over and over again.Now you know why I gave it a 10+!!

lri143 The voice of the female singer of the show's theme song sounds so very much like Lorraine. I heard somewhere that Lorraine did sing the theme although the biography information of the show indicates this is not the case. Does anyone else hear this startling similarity?? And, can anyone absolutely dispel my belief that it is Lorraine singing the theme?? I love this show...did not see any of the series when it originally ran, but I now TIVO every airing and watch them year after year. And just as I feel sure I have seen each and every show, there will appear one I have not seen. The casting directors did an amazing job in finding children actors that without question could have been the real characters.

harlan-4 OK - it's finished its run and its rerun run. Now I hope to secure rights to broadcast the series in Rockford, Illinois. I plan to pair it with an interactive reality TV show called "Come Together" which will originate from a dozen living rooms and be watched by a thousand small groups - diverse groups - who will participate in dialogue regarding the "hot buttons" in each week's episode. Dialogue, not discussion - which rhymes with percussion and concussion and is about who wins - whose ideas preveal. DIALOGUE - likened to sitting by a stream - a flow of ideas - suspending your own beliefs (being willing to examine your own beliefs) working for shared meaning. The goal: to bring Rockford, which is polarized, together. I need to know how to get the rights, and I am looking for help in producing "Come Together." Email me if you might help in this project. When it works, it will transform the world - beginning in Rockford. Currently, I'm planning to prepare a simulation of to put on DVD and use it to pitch the concept.

Sunshine14clr ok i didn't grow up in the 60s. i know that there was major racial tension. but come on, do you really think a white girl and a black girl would be best friends back then? a realistic white girl would not even much less talk to a black girl. this show seems to be very liberal. i.e. every white person (except M.E. of course) is a racist creep, rene's parents being loving and accpeting to M.E. yet M.E.'s parents treat rene like a leech, and M.E. has kkk family members. it just seems to be liberal propoganda. but honestly do you think mary elizabeth's politically correct actions of "befriending a black girl" would have existed back then??? people in general just didn't think back then like we do now. for instance i am friends with minorities. as a white person, that would have been un-acceptable. and the show always mentions racism. it is not the 60s any more. our country has matured in that section. these are just some problems i have with the show. the show is very addicting. i love it. it has special values and interests. i watch it whenever its on. i know i sound very irritated with it, i just don't like the propoganda in it. someone correct me if i'm wrong about this.....the flashbacks are a good spice to the show. 7 stars out of 10.
