Prepare to get hooked on Everwood, a family drama-comedy from the WB television network that looks and feels like a hybrid of Northern Exposure and Picket Fences--both shows, incidentally, being major influences on Everwood's talented creator, Greg Berlanti (Dawson's Creek). A fish-out-of-water tale with unusually high stakes in the relationship arena, Everwood gets much of its charge from near-perfect performances by Treat Williams (The Deep End of the Ocean) and Gregory Smith (The Patriot) as a contentious father and son trying to keep their family going after a catastrophic loss. Williams plays Andy Brown, a world-class neurosurgeon whose Manhattan practice caters to the rich and famous; it also keeps him far removed from daily life and big events within his family. After Andy's wife (Brenda Strong) dies in a car accident, he finds himself raising a gifted 15-year-old boy, Ephram (Smith), who hates him because of years of neglect, and the much younger Delia (Vivien Cardone from A Beautiful Mind), who is scared and confused without her mom.

Andy, often seen in the first couple of episodes speaking to his late spouse, decides the best way to honor her memory is to move the family to little Everwood, Colorado, a special place in her memory. Not just a move--more of a wholesale re-invention, beginning with Andy's new salt-and-pepper beard and including a no-charge medical clinic he opens in Everwood's former train station. The free practice puts Andy at odds with the unpleasant Dr. Abbott (Tom Amandes of the syndicated The Untouchables), whose daughter, Amy (Emily VanCamp), develops a friendship with lonely Ephram while she also pines for her boyfriend, Colin (Mike Erwin), long lost in a deep coma. Over the course of the first season, many lines of connection will be drawn between these folks. Andy will be asked to attempt a risky operation on Colin, with ramifications affecting his son, Amy, and others. Abbott's sour relationship with Andy will lighten up enough for the former to join Andy's practice, and other surprises are in store.

The series is filled out by other, sweet and eccentric regulars, including Debra Mooney as Andy's nurse (also Abbott's plain-speaking mom), John Beasley as her husband and Delia's bus driver, and Stephanie Niznik as Andy's neighbor, Nina, a surrogate mother. Surprisingly gutsy storytelling, generally understated dialogue, heartfelt performances, and gorgeous Colorado exteriors keep one coming back for more. --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews

One of those rare gems...
Hi folks:

Here is my review of EVERWOOD (All four seasons, not just season one).

What a wonderful treasure, indeed. A family show that has it all: courage, compassion, love, heart-ache, heart-break, heart-on-the-mend, heart-happy, culture, religion (Jewish/Christian harmony), adventure in all its glorious forms, small town/big town dichotomy, conflict, upheaval, shock, depression, trials of the youth, difficulties of middle-age, and the wisdom of the elderly. All these come together in four fabulous seasons of Everwood TV. The first season will have you flying through a range of emotions and asking many questions about the world and how it works.

Do yourself a favor and buy this fabulous work of art. It will keep on giving the more you watch it. Now, the rest is up to you. Buy this wonderful show, watch it, and then come back here and leave your reviews.

There is something in this show for everybody.

Cheers,
Peter

Everwood
DVD pack came with 3 of the DVD's loose in the packaging so all three were scratched up pretty bad. This was my first purchase through Amazon and was a little disappointed.

where is everwood
Reading the other reviews, I agree and so do the others I know that got caught up with this beautiful story and its characters. But where are the other seasons? Can anyone,maybe even Amazon, put pressure on someone to release the other seasons to DVD???
