    NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
    WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
    Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
    Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
    paoguy118 Come on. They only showed two episodes of this series. I believe the show the audience deserved more than that. The two episodes I saw showed a lot of promise. I liked the cast, but everybody needs more than two episodes to prove themselves.The network really missed an opportunity to promote this show on 80s and other retro-style radio stations. The 80s are in, and this show could have done well had it been given a chance.The world, they say, will never know.
    denvermichaels let me first say that i am biased. i had just arrived in los angeles to pursue my career in acting in july 2002 when i realized that being an extra would be a good, easy way to get my first taste of the biz. i was disheartened to find that extras are treated like dirt on most tv shows. even more depressing was that the overall environment of even the most successful shows (like ER) is filled with stress and unhappiness.when i started working on 'that was then', it restored my faith in showbiz. all the actors and crew had such great time working together. there was so much pride and optimism in everyone's work. they really thought this show could be the next big thing...i watched the first two episodes. i thought they were both great. well acted all around. they had the poignancy and humor of cameron crowe and john hughes. james bulliard and tyler lablane were both fantastic (and, i might add, wonderfully friendly people on the set). kiele sanchez was mesmerizingly beautiful (and a very sweet girl in person as well). once i saw the show, i realized why the actors and crew were always so nice and happy. they were making a very good show.and then my heart sank when i found out that the show was cancelled. i was actually working on the show the day before abc canned it. and by then, everyone knew that the ratings were bad, so the atmosphere was a little less optimistic and happy. but everyone was still nice, got along well, and worked hard. the next day, they were all unemployed again. abc said that it was a good show in a bad timeslot and they were looking to put it somewhere else. seems that those plans have been scrapped. it is months later and i still wish i could thank the actors on this show for being the ONLY actors i ever encountered who would take the time to talk to the extras and even eat with them during lunch. i wish them all the best of luck.
    matlock-6 This show, along with Push Nevada, are two of the best new shows I've seen in years. What a shock that the networks would actually invest time in something other than another unamusing, irritating sitcom.The fact that network television has no clue about what is good and what isn't is the reason I'm not surpised that both of these shows have already been cancelled.That Was Then was not given a proper chance. You can't properly judge a TV show after three episodes. I suppose anything other than a sappy evening drama or yet another cookie cutter sitcom doesn't agree with the modern TV watcher's attention span. I'm seriously considering giving up on network TV altogether.
    jeffs1962caddy I just saw the the first episode tonight and I was real impressed.I thought the show was great.I always wanted to turn back the clock and change my life.As we all know we cant.I will continue watching this show untill the day it is cancelled.
