Too many fans seem to be blown away

From my favorite movies..

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Always a decade or two late to good views, I have just finished an extended watching of this series. (I don't say bingeing any longer, it is too crude.) I fell in love with this cast and crew, and with the acting that made the characters seem so believable. The writers were especially adept in investing each character with good and bad qualities, and with propensities for deep love as well as destruction. I can't say enough good things about Everwood, so I will say no more, except that I look forward to the day when I have forgotten enough to make rewatching with new eyes another treat. (Oh, dear, I did make that pun. Quite unintentional. Sorry.)

Everwood. The story of a man and his family, whom upon a tragic death, uproot their life in New York city and move to Everwood, Colorado.Treat Williams pulls off a fine display as Dr. Andrew Brown, a single father trying to restart his life after an emotional loss. Andy tries hard to fix things, be it a local marriage, the town's awareness of STDs, or his less than perfect relationship with his son, Ephram, played by Gregory Smith. Ephram, a gifted pianist, has his own troubles to deal with... notably his "new guy" status and the connection he makes with Amy Abbot, daughter of his father's medical rival and girlfriend of the local 'Mr. Popular'.All in all, the series plays out wonderfully. The lush setting of Everwood keeps it far from the fancy glitz often seen in today's television, and gives the show a home feel to it. The developing characters weave together a complete picture of the mountain town. A place where everyone knows one another, and community is hard to avoid.In my personal opinion, Everwood is one of the best shows on television today. With as much emphasis as there is being put on bright lights and big city, it is refreshing to find a down to earth realistic show that doesn't scream for attention through forced drama and scandalous plot.Personal rating: 10/10

One year after CW turned down Everwood for it's new schedule I checked the TV ratings for 2007. The show that stole Everwood's place on the CW schedule averaged little over 3 million viewers per week. This is below what Everwood used to average. The top rated CW show was at #112 out of 142. CW overall rounded out the bottom of the list, including the 10 bottom rated shows. Good going CW. Hope you have a very short life. Rumor is Everwood will again be on the fall schedule for ABC family. I encourage everyone to watch and see what a high quality, family drama should look like. You can also see the former stars of this great show on other quality networks and in movies such as American Pastime.

Well, after having seen some episodes I couldn't help thinking that I had seen most of it already in other TV-series and thus soon dropped it. It simply doesn't work for me! There are too many clichés and too many pathetic phrases in it to be regarded as good as series as Grey's Anatomy or Desperate Housewives, for instance.Furthermore I found the acting not that brilliant and sometimes everything just seemed too exerted. The script lacks word joke although I have the impression that the producers believe it to be good.Nevertheless some might find it quite entertaining and I have to admit that I've seen worse. But according to the quality of other series this one just can't keep up!
