Summary: Underappreciated
Review: This is a great series to follow, not only for minority viewers but for everyone. While it focuses on some issues unique to people of color, the main focus of the show is on the strength, power, and importance of family; which is a lesson for all people. I am shocked and disappointed that after waiting patiently for close to 3 years, Paramount seemingly refuses to recognize the many fans of the series that span the color spectrum, and thus have failed to release Seasons 2-5 on DVD. Soul Food, at only 5 seasons, was the longest African American drama on television, if only for that reason I would think it deserves the accolades given so easily to other shows like the Gilmore Girls ( a lesser watched gem that managed to have two season on DVD). Additionally, they have priced the DVD so unrealistically that it makes it hard for fans to buy it and gives Paramount a reason not to put out the other seasons. I urge people to buy this DVD and enjoy this wonderful and soulful show.

Summary: Please pick this DVD Up
Review: "Soul Food" the complete first season is a must have DVD box set for the person who missed a few episodes here and there or for those who want to catch the show from the beginning. My only complaint is the steep steep price,my fear is that many people wont' buy it and the studio won't release future seasons. The show is about three very different sisters leading their lives. It picks up where the movie left off but this show is hot and the show only gets better throughout the season. Malinda Williams, Nicole Ari Parker, and Vanessa Williams star in this series which went on to become the longest running one hour African American drama in history.

Summary: For thought
Review: As people have said before, Soul Food is truly a show that everyone can relate to. Family is amazing and so important. Sisters stick together, brother in-laws have no other choice. : ) I have been an avid viewer since the first season and have been waiting for the day Soul Food the series was put on dvd. It is a must have. I can't wait for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th season's dvd.

Summary: A heartwarming series
Review: Every once in a while I would be channel surfing and come across Soul Food on Showtime until once I stopped and watched an episode. I got the first season on DVD right away after that. This is a greatly written series, which presents the events in the life of a normal family. The viewer gets to see all kinds of emotions among the different characters, from love to rage, hope to disenchantment, trust to suspicion, etc.Big Mama held the Joseph family together, and when she died they went through a rough patch, events that are shown in the movie that originated the series. Now, the three sisters and their loved ones have to fend off by themselves through this maze called life. Teri (Nicole Ari Parker) is the successful lawyer, who spends most of her time trying to make partner and who is going through a divorce after her husband cheated on her with her own cousin. Bird (Malinda Williams) is having a baby in the first episodes of the series and looks forward to life with her husband Lem, who has supposedly rehabilitated after being in prison for a short period of time. But Lem is having trouble getting a "regular" job, so his options are running out and he may be forced to go back to his previous activities. The third sister, Maxine, is a stay-at-home mom, with three kids, married to Kenny, owner of his own business. Her oldest kid Ahmad, who is entering into adolescence, is one of the central characters of this story. He is the one that brought the family together in the movie, and now he has the role of telling the story and sharing his thoughts with the audience. All of these different characters have their problems and they usually find in their loved ones the support necessary to resolve them. In several episodes we get to see Big Mama again in the recollections of the different characters about how her wisdom and love led them through life. I wish I had the chance to see the following seasons on DVD, but sadly it seems that is not going to happen, so I will probably have to catch these episodes on TV.

Summary: GOOD OLD FASHION SOUL FOOD
Review: GOOD OLE FASHION SOUL FOOD - THERE IS NO OTHER SHOW OUT THERE LIKE THIS ONE. I PERSONALLY WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THAT SHOWTIME RELEASE SEASONS 2-6. PLEASE!!! IT IS TRULY A BLESSING TO HAVE A MINORITY SHOW ON TELEVISION WITH QUALITY CONTENT, NOT JUST SEX, VIOLENCE, GANGS AND DRUGS - STEREOTYPES THAT SEEMS TO FOLLOW BLACKS AND HISPANICS ON TELEVISION AND THE BIG SCREEN. I AM TRULY A FAN OF SOUL FOOD. THANK YOU SHOWTIME FOR SHOWING THE WORLD ANOTHER SIDE OF MINORITIES- A SIDE THAT DEALS WITH FAMILY STICKING TOGETHER THROUGH THICK AND THIN, LOVE (TRUE), COMMITTMENT, FRIENDSHIP, HONESTY, VALUES, AND MORALITY.

Summary: Can't wait to order..
Review: I can not wait to order my very own DVD copy of Soulfood. This is a story about a family going through many ups and downs in their lives. I have been a fan since the first episode. The writing has definitely changed over the seasons but I still appreciate the way the writers have developed the characters.
I am so tired of the common story of the black kid born in the ghetto but comes to the other side of the tracks to get a better opportunity. Soulfood has characters that have real stories because its viewers can relate to them or they know someone is the same situation. If you get a chance, check out the new season of Soulfood starting next year..

Summary: Soul Food definitely food for thought
Review: I live in England and the series has yet to make it's way here. I had seen 1 or 2 episodes whilst in NYC before purchasing this item and I thought interesting.
After watching the entire series I think it is great and everybody should own a copy. I get all into it when it's playing, getting angry at Terry's audacity and meaness to the other members of the family then getting sympathetic when she shows her insecurities. I highly recommend this product and only hope that Showtime release the other series sometime soon.

Summary: Over and Over Again
Review: I love SoulFood, by purchasing this series I am experiencing over and over again the emotions exchanged from watching this dynamic show! I feel that this is an historic show for our people and we should support it by buying it! It shows a different aspect of Black America that is not represented on main stream media.
