Clevercell Very disappointing...

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

ShangLuda Admirable film.

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Mercy Bell (mercybell) What a beautiful series. Gregory Nava is a genius, and PBSshould be given an award for taking it on. It blends a culturallytraditional undercurrent with a modern and hip style, and utilizesinteresting filming techniques that wraps you into the story. Thisseries is vibrant with culture, color, and life, and can sometimesbe staggeringly emotional.Heartfelt, eccentric, and sometimes rib crackingly funny, "AmericanFamily" brings a very misunderstood side of American life to thelimelight and paints an intriguingly entertaining representation of adysfunctional yet incredibly loving family.... and does it brilliantly.

Coqui1219 Wonderful thought provoking show. The Mexican-American family shown in a true and honest way. Story lines that remind one of family and how important they are in our lives. Great to see a Latino Cast in a wonderful ensemble show.

celluloidmuggins I just happened to come across this show and stopped because Edward James Olmos was in it. This is an excellent show, at first I thought it was a movie it was so well done. BOO CBS, for dropping such a wonderful show. Thank goodness for PBS, once again they save a meaningful program that illustrates the diversity of America.

Peter L. Wargo After hearing the creator of the show interviewed on KPBS, I had to watch it. This show was piloted for CBS, but they ended up rejecting it. PBS picked it up, and I'm glad they did. This show is considerably better than most of the pap served up on the major networks, and has an incredible cast. This is a beautiful story about a family that is both funny and dramatic at the same time. (Much like life!) This show is truly worth watching.
