ThiefHott Too much of everything

Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

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

divadiahann I was so glad to see The Gregory Hines Show on CBS for several reasons. One principle reason was watching a handsome, intelligent but witty widowed father raising his equally handsome and witty young son. I also loved the interaction between the 3-generations of family-grandfather/father/son of which Ben's brother was added to enhance the humor and story lines. Another principle reason I enjoyed the show so much was seeing the genuine love from the male standpoint in an African American family setting. Ben and his son Matty often spoke of the deceased wife/mother in many tender ways and their father/son relationship was heart-warming. Even the tough-love of Ben and Carl's father was laced with the unspoken love and concern for his now grown-up sons. I also liked how in the closing episode Gregory's outstanding dancing was featured in a surreal-dream type way. I sincerely hope that CBS or its syndication affiliate will release this show on DVD-I will definitely add this show to my collection.

dsmithcoyl Does anyone know of these episodes being released on DVD? I've always thought Gregory was extremely talented, but outside of the dance community, never received the recognition he should have. Anything I've ever heard or read, made me appreciate his humanity as well as his talent. I still miss him very much and try to obtain as many different CD's, DVD's and VHS tapes as I can. I am so grateful that I had the chance to see him in person in a small venue. Peg Leg Bates was in the audience, and Gregory had him stand up to be recognized! There were many young tappers there dancing with him on the stage. What an opportunity! One of the teachers here at the high school where I work, danced with Gregory. How I envy her!

bigmarkiestyle This was one of the best television shows on the air!! How nice and beautiful it was to see a TV show that showed three generations of Black males being supportive of and loving one another. Also, here was a show that was not afraid to show those males being affectionate with one another. Gregory Hines was incredibly charming and funny and Brandon Hammond was equally fine. I sincerely hope this show comes to DVD soon. It is well worth revisiting again and again. It is too bad that CBS only saw fit to give us one season of this beautifully done show, but I will be most forgiving if I can at least buy it on DVD (hint, hint!)!!!!

Al Boone I was an extra on this show for nearly every episode so I saw it from various perspectives. First, on the set, I found the principle actors, especially Gregory Hines, Bill Cobbs, Wendell Pierce, and Brandon Hammond to be very generous and personable people. Next, while watching the show, anyone could see each cast member enjoyed their role on this wholesome family show. I'd dare say that none of these actors would so much enjoy being involved the filth being called entertainment these days. We need better family sitcoms like The Gregory Hines Show on television today. If this show comes out on DVD, I'll be one of the first in line to purchase it. May Gregory rest in peace. He was a good and genuine man.
