That's one lucky guy, that Chris Pratt!!!

I'm still in denial and the finale remains unwatched on my TiVo. I just can't bring myself to watch it. Once I do, Everwood is over.

Maybe it will end for me tonight.

I'm already half way through season 1 again....

There is such a huge difference in the quality of writing from the first season to the last. One of the things I attribute to the demise of Everwood is Berlanti pulling away from the project. The great pilot for the series and my favorite "The Unveiling", were both written by Berlanti.

When Rina Mimoun took over the quality of the show dropped substantially. It went from being a serious examination of the family relationship, most notably father son, to the romantic giggle fest the final season was. It doesn't surprise me any that Rina Mimoun went to Gilmore Girls. There were several scenes with Amy and Hanna, that felt like they could have been from GG. Especially when Hanna went on a speed talk binge.

I was shocked but not surprised that Berlanti didn't have a writing credit in the finale, none of it felt like his style.

The huge disparity between season 1/2 and 3/4 really illustrate Berlanti was Everwood. He went on to do Jack & Bobby, which IMO had a much much better finale. I honestly say that the J&B Finale was the best hour of TV I have ever watched. Talk about a tear jerker.

I am not happy that Everwood ended, but lets hope the real heart of Everwood lives on through a new series by Berlanti at ABC.

Finally watched it.

:(

It ended how I hoped it would. All smiles and warm fuzzies.

FYI - still missingi t.

I dread the TV landscape this fall. Especially next year now that other shows are apparently already getting the axe for the 07-08 season... :(

Everwood on ABC Family - Weeknights
 

Just a reminder to fans who might be interested. ABC Family just started broadcasting Everwood last night, beginning with the Pilot episode. It airs M-F at 6pm EST. I am hoping that good ratings MIGHT spur WB to release the remaining seasons on dvd. Perhaps, this is wishful thinking but you never know.

:( How I miss thee. Fall without an Everwood premier. :(

I know. It sucks.

Is it shown in widescreen on ABC Family? (Oh wait, the first season was shot fullscreen, as I recall..... but does anyone know whether the subsequent seasons will be 16x9?) I don't have ABC Family, but may call the cable company to add a bunch of channels to include that.

I don't know. Unfortunately, I don't have cable either at this time.

Cant believe I had to wait 4 YEARS to see the 2nd season premiere, as I missed it the first time around and didnt really follow it till midway through the season. It just aired this past Thursday and watched the tape last night.

Resolves the big cliffhanger from the end of the 1st season. Which reminds me of all the people who picked up the dvds and are left hanging, since they dramatically asserted NO MORE Everwood seasons for dvd production.

Great show.

It should be on tv.

just watched the series finale again, soo gooood

Random bump, no? However, it's Everwood so I'll let is slide. ;)

Still no word on dvds?

Is ABC Family still showing reruns, or was that a one-off event?

Unfortunately legal DVDs seem to be nothing more than a pipe dream. Personally I think Warner Brothers is missing the boat... even if it was a one-time "Complete Series" with replaced music (they own the rights to the theme song), and no special features - people (fans) would buy it.

I will still never fully understand what legal issues are at play here....WB owns the show, right? They owned the music showcased in the show, right? I mean, they often would promote the albums of the music heard in the show at the end of each episode, so clearly it was WB owned music. What's the big deal? They would be paying themselves for their own music? I don't get it.

When the WB showcased a CD at the end of the episode it didn't mean that they owned the rights to the song. The showcase was a way for them to pay less for the broadcast rights to the music (in other worlds they would make a deal stating they would pay 70% what the music rights holders want for the song, but advertise the CD at the end of the episode).

Unfortunately music rights are a huge issues with a lot of shows and Warner Brothers is one of the few studio (if not the only one) that doesn't like changing music to release the DVDs. Even show's today face some music changes (Look at "Friday Night Lights")... its all a legal game...

Today production companies aren't going to face the same problems as older WB shows. The networks didn't see the TV Show on DVD freight train and failed to secure the rights for DVD distribution. The WB were pioneers of infusing pop music into their shows, and the teen target audience was ripe for this co-marketing.

This was a case of industry growing pains and you can bet the DVD and broadcast music rights of any new show are secured at the same time. It is just too important.

BUMP. Figure the TV area gets more traffic than the DVD area.

That's good news for those who really wanted to see more of Everwood, but would stuck with just season 1 on DVD for 3 or more years.
