A Year in the Life (1987–1988)

This show never received the attention it deserved

[3 June 2002]

This was a mini-series that became a television show. It was a great series that I felt was not given a fair shake by the network. I loved watching it, but the time slot changed about three times during a six-month period which made it difficult for even faithful watchers to keep up with.

It was a warm, well-written dramatic series that also had it's funny moments. It was about a family and their daily lives. I am a big fan of the series "Family" and felt that same sort of warmth toward this show. It was so well done and it seemed criminal that it really wasn't given a chance to gain a following.

I love this movie

[3 June 2002]

I saw this movie late at night when I was about thirteen, and loved it. Like the other reviews have said, it had quite an effect on me. I am now forty years old and took the time to look this movie up on IMDB, so it seems to have made an impression. I have seen it several times since the initial viewing (always at about three in the morning) and have enjoyed it each time. I have always been a fan of Season Hubley and enjoyed the relationship that developed between her character and the Jeff Bridges character. The whole senselessness of the two feuding families that used to be good friends always seemed so sad to me. I would love to see this movie come out on VHS or DVD as well.
