Allow me to add my voice to the mounting chorus...
...demanding the release of the remaining seasons of "Everwood." It is indeed trite to declare profound affection for a television show, but the fact that Everwood elicits such passion from its viewers serves as testament to the quality of the writing, acting, and direction. I have watched many television dramas over the years, and I can honestly say that I have never--never--seen one that captured the human condition so authentically. As other reviewers have rightly claimed, Everwood never pandered, never condescended, never simplified, and never compromised merely to reach the lowest common denominator in viewership. Ultimately, I suspect this accounts for its untimely cancellation; it was simply too genuine and too smart for an American audience.
Those of us who realized what we had, however, deserve the opportunity to preserve this timeless jewel for ourselves. I encourage others to fill this review board, contact Warner Brothers and/or ABC Family, and ratchet up the pressure to deliver the remainder of this series on DVD.
