Summary: Love this show!
Review: I never saw this series when it aired on Showtime.
Well if you didn't have Showtime when this aired, you are in for a treat.
"Soul Food" shows the positives and negatives about Black family life. It's great to see the trials and tribulations that they go through and how they are handled.
I hope that the other seasons of this awesome show are released at a decent price so I can pick them up!
This and Roots are two box sets that must be in your dvd collection.
I also plan on getting Sex In The City eventually.

Summary: LOVE IT!!!
Review: I really enjoyed Soul Food the movie, and when I found out SHO was going to have the show I was upset I would miss it being I don't subscribe to premium channels. Thank you for the invention of DVD players and DVD's!!!!! I got to see 8 episodes one after the other. Yes that's right, I spend 360 minuets watching Soul Food. You start watching this series, and you can't stop!!!! I can't wait to watch the other three DVD's (once I get them from a friend of mine), then I plan to buy my own copy because I know this is a series I will watch over and over again!!! The show touches on some good topics. When will the rest of the season's be released? I'm ready for season 2-4!!!! NOW!!!!

Summary: Soul Food
Review: I was so happy when finally the word came out that Soul Food's first season was being released. I did not subscribe to Showtime when it initially aired and missed the entire season. I was however, very troubled by the high price of the set. On every dvd site I've checked, Soul Food's price for a 5 dvd set surpasses other hour long dramas with 6 dvd's (eg The Sopranos, Once & Again, Felicity). I suspected that the price was set high to DISCOURAGE purchases and in effect justify the non-release of subsequent seasons.Anyway, I bought a used set and am quite satisfied with it but hope that if they release Seasons 2-5, they keep the price in line with other series ($35 for a 5 dvd set is reasonable, $80 IS NOT!!!!!) And to that poster from the lovely, racially enlighted state of KY: you seem to be someone who did not really watch this series and is a caucasian who does not know any African-Americans personally. It is 2004 - we are doctors, lawyers, professors, investment bankers, business owners - in other words, we are just like you. So why is it unbelievable to see a family where there is a lawyer, two business owners and a stay-at-home mom venturing out into the workplace? Would it have been more believable to you if they were all unemployed & on welfare, selling drugs and shooting each other?? You need to open your mind and refrain from making such stupid/uninformed comments about people that you obviously know nothing about.

Summary: Definitely food for the soul.
Review: I'm a 29 year old African American working professional like the character Teri, whom I relate to the most. I purchased the box set last summer and I watched it so much that I had to buy a new set just recently. When I first purchased Season One, I told myself that I would watch one episode per day. I wound up spending the weekend watching the the whole season. Not since the Cosby Show have I seen an African American family on TV that I just fell in love with. The situations are real and relatable. Soul Food: Season One is a must have. I recommend these DVDs to all people of all races. Everyone can relate to the storyline regardless of race. I only pray that they release the other seasons as well. I would be the first in line to purchase them.

Summary: Love the show BUT
Review: I've been a SF addict ever since season 1, and hate to see it go forever after the next episode. It's a VERY well-done show, even managing to surpass the film, as great as that was. That being said, however, it's not without its flaws. First, Kenny & Tracey, the price is obscene. Stop being greedy. The two of you are supposed to be caring and "real" people, then ask this kind of overblown price? Did you guys vote for Reagan and Bush, too? The second thing is, in a way, I have to agree with that guy from Kentucky in one aspect.... in some ways, the show is unbelievable. This has absolutely nothing to do with race, but with realism. Sorry, ladies, but the guys tend to be FAR more believable than the women. For one, while Bird and Maxine frequently talk about money and the need to be careful with it, every single time you see them in the show, they're wearing something new, expensive, and often too dressy for what they're doing. How many stay-at-home moms dress like Maxine to cook and clean the house, other than Mrs. Cleaver? Seriously. Second, while Bird keeps talking about respect, she manages to look cheap in almost every show at least once, thanks to her hootchie outfits. And third, while Teri can easily afford her outfits based on her job, how many high-level corporate lawyers wear outfits like she does at the office? Low-cut tops, mid-thigh minis, very tight pants? And she apparently doesn't own one pair of pantyhose. That's just not realistic. Enjoy the show for its entertainment value. It's excellent in that aspect.

Summary: SOUL FOOD Has It All!
Review: I've been to different types of African-American movies and have seen the positive and negative potrayals of African-Americans. I always thought, "When is Hollywood going to show something closer to home that I know about?" When SoulFood came out I said, "It's about time!" I loved the movie and had a grandmother similar to Momma Joe, with the exception that she had my brother and I in church almost 24-7. The movie was good, but I feel that the series was even better. Some of those things really do happen in life. Out of all of the characters I think Lem is the most real. Once you've been to jail, it's hard to get out and find work. For those who say that Soul Food is a fairy tale, then I feel sorry for you. It's obvious that you didn't grow up with the type of family stability portrayed in the series. But most African-Americans from down South have grown up with Momma Joes around them all of their lives. I highly recommend this series, because it is educational, informative and entertaining for all adults, young and old. I am anxiously awaiting the release of Season 2 on DVD. Even though I've seen most of it, I'll be able to see it again and again and again...

Summary: ONLY A FAIRY TALE TO THE IGNORANT AND UNINFORMED
Review: Just as there are people who can relate to shows such as Good Times and Sanford and Son, there are those who can relate to Soul Food. I happen to be one of those people. It is important that all aspects of the lives of African-Americans are explored in movies and t.v., be it in the 'hood or suburbs. Because like all other races and ethnic groups in America, we have different beliefs, goals, dreams, and lifestyles. I applaud Soul Food for FINALLY letting the FACTS be known.

Summary: Must See!
Review: Over here in Germany we did not have this TV show and I borrowed the CDs from a friend and watched it. This is a true reflection of african-american way of life and how it is amongst families. I can hardly wait to see how it goes on after the last episode. It's truly family entertainment!!
