Relativity was the best show ever. I loved it so much, I can't wait for
it to go on DVD. It was so beautiful and well written, and the acting
was Superb. I cried when they took it off after one season. I would pay
so buy this, and I would probably wear it out and need another one.
Adam Goldberg did a fabulous job as the Love-struck Doug. I love him,
and have seen him do other things not that great, but what made this
role so good was the Hot chemistry between him and Karen. It was the
classic true love that all women dream of. People need dreams, get this
timeless show on DVD. The world, or at least my world would be a much
better place.
Thank you. Rhonda

This show was amazing with lots of substance, character and great
stories and wonderful acting. Something lacking in a lot of the crap
that's on today (and even when this came on there was a lot of junk
on). TVGuide even predicted, in it's annual preview of new shows, that
it probably wouldn't last because it was really good with lots of
substance and intelligence, and they were right. I watched it from day
one until it went off and because I knew it probably wouldn't last with
today's (even back then) unimaginative and dimwitted audiences, I taped
it. I also pray and hope they put it on DVD on day. The romance, the
development of the relationship between the two leads, who were so
amazing together, the reality of a relationship after the pixie dust
wears off a little and how to deal with that, was all handled very
well. GREAT SHOW, FANTASTIC SHOW!! Too bad they don't put stuff like
this on TV anymore, just lots of crappy reality shows, blah!!

This was a charming series, and probably from ABC's perspective
producers Zwick and Herskowitz's "second strike" after the short run of
their MY SO-CALLED LIFE, and before the undersupported but three-season
run of ONCE AND AGAIN. THIRTYSOMETHING, their briefly hit series from
several seasons previously, had been a trendsetter, if a bit precious
to my taste; MY/LIFE, their followup dealing with teens, had been an
improvement, and surely has reverberated with its audience in a way few
series have; RELATIVITY, dealing primarily with a couple in their
twenties and their families, friends, and colleagues, was better yet,
and deserved much more support from network and audience alike. (ONCE
AND AGAIN, the FORTYSOMETHING show which followed, was even better, as
far as I'm concerned, but that doesn't diminish the excellent quality
of this neglected series.) Yes, let's have those DVDs!

I remember this show and I LOVED it... I can only hope someday it will
become a DVD set a-la "My So-Called Life" which I already
own.
Relativity had a beautiful intro, with excellent acting. I just miss it
and
pray someday I can get my hands on it again.

A sweet show. Definitely more of a drama than the nighttime soap-opera
many may have thought of it as, and in a situation that many could
relate (no pun intended) to. The opening episode has Isabele returning
from a trip abroad where she met and started a relationship with a man
other than her fiancé, who was waiting at home. What follows is a deep
study of how old friends and relatives by-proxy remain that way and
intertwine with new ones.
I definitely would suggest it if you can catch it in reruns (I haven't
seen it listed anywhere) and will be buying it as a gift for a friend
who absolutely adored the show.
