Customer Reviews of American Family - The Complete First Season
This may be your only chance to see this wonderful series! If you haven't seen "American Family" you are missing a wonderful display of incredibly talented people at their best. Greg Nava's direction is masterful. The actors give so much depth to their roles. Oh, Mr. Olmos, please make them bring you back again. This is a great series, and I fear that DVD is the only way to keep it around.
The characters are sturdy and heroic, and so humanly flawed. The world is not a simple place for them. How rare to see this kind of television. Now, alas, it appears that American Family will only be available on DVD in the future. Do not pass go. Do not miss this event.
Alexandra Barreto was awesome!
People have overlooked actress Alexandra Barreto's performance in this series. She is an up and coming actress with an amazing acting ability!
PBS was right to do this series
I haven't watched every episode of this Hispanic family drama that takes place in Los Angeles, California, but every episode i have watched has me wondering why CBS passed on this show. Then again CBS would have probably cancelled and basically I thank PBS for making this into a series. The show stars Edward James Olmos as the head of the Hispanic family. In an early episode, his wife dies. The drama focuses on many characters including the two sons and two daughters and the grandson and the eccentric aunt played by Raquel Welch. one of the sons (Esai Morales who is most known as teh captain on NYPD Blue)is an ex-con trying to put his life back together by being a firefighter and one episode focuses on him teaching gang members how to be firefighters. One of the daughters is played by Rachel Tichton who is married and with children while the other daughter is a lawyer working for a non-profit group. The youngest is a teenage boy and he is always videotaping the family and putting the video up on a family website which leads to one episode where the family members aren't happy at what he done and also it is shown many people visit the website. The grandson is in the care of Edward HJames Olmos (and the woman who plays his wife). The kid is the son of the ex-con and the mom is a junkie. Anyway, the head of the family (Olmos) is a local barber. One episode focuses on his experiences in the Korean War while a couple of episodes tell the tale of how his wife came to the USA. The episodes in this series cover many different stories including the housekeeper who gets deported and can't get back to her son to the lawyer daughter going into a Latin America country searching for a friend only to discover what the military is doing to the women there (and it isn't pretty and that is why there are rebels).
American Family is one of the best and most complex and well written family dramas I have seen in a long time. It tells about the Hispanic community in LA for one and it is refreshing to see a drama with Hispanic characters instead of your usual white family and black family dramas. It is shame that network TV didn't pick this series up, but I'm glad PBS saw how great a show this would be. If you want a series that is worth getting on DVD, this is the one.
