    Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
    SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
    Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
    Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
    Chris Johnston (cljohnston108) Yeah, I bought my copy yesterday and as I was watching the Pilot, I was remembering the next line to be said, as if no time had passed since the original CBS airing. That's how often I think about this show.Watched the first 5 minutes of the next episode on the DVD, then angrily ejected the disc... because there's THREE episodes missing!!Whose BRILLIANT idea was it to place a 3-episode gap on an incomplete DVD compilation for a series with a running storyline, where discontinuity is LETHAL?That's kinda like the game CBS played when they refused to re-air the first two episodes after an angry public forced them to resurrect EZ Streets from a four-month hiatus!All the great moments we're missing...• The "Illusion, Allusion" discussion between Jimmy and Fivers in the burned-out restaurant.• The "Pop-Up" shower scene with Jimmy and Theresa.• Theresa getting frisky at church.• Theresa joyfully waking up, then retrieving her pager from under the covers and returning Jimmy's call... Jimmy: "Why won't you give me your home phone number?" Teresa: "Because I love it when you call me this way."• The "Dog-face" discussion that ends with Jimmy heaving a glass at Mickey's head: "What kinda dog?"I could go on...Oh, and I really want the chance to see if there really IS a mailbox in Theresa's apartment building with the name "B. Fraser"!
    peyton0072001 This series was so amazing!!! CBS killed an incredible piece of art. Paul Haggis is a god!!!!!! WHY IS THIS SHOW NOT ON THE AIR TODAY? WHY? CBS sucks! There are NO excuses why this is not on TV today. It is a total tragedy! If anyone knows of where I can get copies of this show, please email me!!!! We should be able to buy this on Vhs.
    Willie-12 There isn't much to say here, except that I agree with just about every user comment on here. This was an exceptional series that hooked me from the very beginning. It is a shame that we were given a taste of the brilliance of "EZ Streets," and then it was taken away from us in the blink of an eye. "What might have been" another comment says. Well quite possibly one of the greatest television series' ever. I am sure there would have been many Emmys, Golden Globes, etc....but we'll never know...we'll never know what might have been.Updated on 9/15/08: There are a few more things I'd like to say about this series. First, I believe that this was still one of the finest television series' that never got to come to fruition. I also believe that it was ahead of it's time. I honestly believe that if this series had been brought to television today, it would have succeeded. I just don't think that, for whatever reason, people were ready for such gritty, dark, and violent material to occupy a spot in prime time television. Especially on the three main networks. Today Haggis would have had the opportunity to take this show to another network that isn't afraid to push the limits (i.e. FX, Spike T.V., or even HBO). I thought about purchasing the DVDs, but now that I know that there are episodes missing, I think, for the time being, I'll just continue to remember this show the way it was when it first aired. And I'll continue to think about what might have been.
    dcasey04 I know no one visits this page.......but just in case......if one of the finest t.v. series ever made, unaired episodes, the pilot, ANYTHING about this drama becomes available, please email me.......I'd like to talk to the idiots that canceled this show......thanks.......dave
