Summary: Coming Home to Proividence
Review: I was so glad to see that a collection of episodes was made on DVD for "Providence", It was priced lower than most box sets and that was appreciated. I don't subsicribe to the theory that I msut own every episode of a tv show, a highlights collection suits me fine.
That said I think they could have included a few more episodes featuring the Robbie/Heather storyline. Perhaps if they do a "Second set"? If not I can always tape some of those episodes off "Lifetime".
THe DVD product was well done with wonderful commentary by the cast and crew. I haven't gotten through all of it yet, but am enjoying it very much. Good job all around on this production, though I miss the "In my Life" theme song - Sony probably is charging an arm and a leg to include it on the collection.
I'd recommend it to other "Providence" fans.

Review: Nice collection-good beginning, I was so glad when I received the packet-here in germany it is not on sale! It is a wonderful serie, for the whole family. And I would have rated five stars if there where more episodes and specials on the Providence DVD collection.
I hope that there will be released more soon. And no more collection- I think all fans of this serie are waiting for the complete seasons!!!! That would be wonderfull!!

I recommend buying this DVD. It has 12 of the better episodes of this series. Hopefully someday in the future, someone will put together the entire series on DVD. P.S. If you want to watch all the old episodes of Providence, watch Lifetime. It aires at 1:00pm and 8:00pm.

Summary: There are places I remember...
Review: Sydney Hansen, a plastic surgeon from Los Angeles, realizes that she has disconnected from her family after years of building a sucessful career. In an attempt to reconnect with them, she moves back to her hometown of Providence, Rhode Island, after the breakup of a long-term relationship. Syd and her family reunite and over the course of the show stick together through thick and thin, through triumph and tribulation. Providence is a well-written show that was breath of fresh air on television, and now this DVD perseves some of the best episodes. Providence is perhaps one of the most underrated TV dramas of its time. It was a top rated show in the 1999-2000 season, but was snubbed of many, well deserved, Emmy Nominations. Providence is about family, and always has a heart-warming message amidst the humor and drama.

Summary: The Providence Collection DVD ( 4 disks/12 episodes)
Review: The first disk of the four disk collection we received was suppose to have 4 episodes, but our first disk only had 2 episodes. What happened to episodes 3 & 4? We enjoyed the episodes that we did get, that's why we rate it 2 stars instead of 1 star. (Disappointed Providence fan)

Review: The Show is awesome. But the DVD must have the subtitle option.

Summary: When are we going to get all the Seasons on DVD?
Review: This is a great DVD box set but what's wrong with NBC? Do they not think this show is good enough to warrant ALL complete seasons on DVD?
Does anyone have the word on whether they plan to release all the episodes or not? It would be ridiculous if they didn't. I think this show had a strong following and I think they should consider the fans.
Rating:
Summary: Please release the entire series on DVD
Review: This show was, and continues to be quality TV. To release only certain episodes from individual seasons is to not offer this delightful program its due justice. I'll no doubt purchase this DVD, but I'll never be satisfied until I am able to view every episode over and over again.
