Summary: Wonderful television series
Review: Excellent series that had a three year run. Herskovitz and Zwick of famed "thirtysomething", "My So Called Life", and "Relativity" fame brought this to the screen and it was a true gem. It's basic premise was Lily, 40, just about to go through a divorce, with two girls, and the in's and out's of it all including, and mostly what the storyline dealt with dating again and finding love. There were secondary stories with the ex's and sisters and families and the kids. It dealt with everything that was and is now, and echoes most of our lives that we are living out there.

Upon hearing the cancellation of the show, the viewers pulled an all out campaign to save it....to no avail. But with these upcoming editions on DVD Once and Again is sure to live on in our hearts and minds for everyone to watch and learn and dream.

This show was a true work of art and most fans look forward to the next show that the creators put together. When they put the three seasons out on DVD, hopefully with extras for all us true fans that worked hard to keep the show on the air, I would recommend giving this show a chance, it truly is a gem.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: And again (Season 2) and again (Season 3), please!
Review: Although hyperbole comes naturally to some of us Amazon reviewers ("the best ever!"), I have to say this is truly one of the best television dramas ever. What sets it apart is the wonderful heartfelt acting by a stellar ensemble cast and the intelligent, astute writing. The characters are fully brought to life and made real.

The writing and acting have such depth and nuance that you'll laugh with recognition and nod your head as every true note is hit.

Sela Ward deservedly received her share of awards from her role, but Billy Campbell -- who is just as exceptional -- unfortunately did not. But again, this is an ensemble cast, and every one shines.

When DVDs first came out, I did not expect to be buying television shows in the format. But "Once and Again" shows why the format is so perfect for this medium: You get to see the whole arc of a show's season at your own pace, and the quality of the image is perfect. If only there were some extras -- but then, "Once and Again" stands on its own.

Hopefully, we won't have to wait long for seasons 2 and 3 to appear on DVD.

Summary: I loved this show!
Review: I just recently purchased Season One and I am so glad that I did. Watching all of the episodes again reminded me of what a great show this was and how sad it is that it's not on anymore. These characters felt like a part of my life. The show was so well done and so real, that I actually felt like I knew these people. I haven't seen acting of this caliber on TV since the show was cancelled. We just don't have any quality shows on TV today that are targeted towards adults.

I emailed Buena Vista and asked about Seasons 2 and 3 and I never got a response. Let's just hope they realize there's a market for the remaining 2 seasons. I would so love to have the entire series on DVD to watch once...and again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Series - ended way too soon
Review: I enjoyed this series about two families dealing with divorce, re-marriage and blended families. The show was very real and very touching. For those of you who like me were anxiously waiting for seasons 2 and 3 to come out on DVD, you can go to: http://www.oandafans.com/ for information. Right now it appears they won't be releasing them, but maybe if enough people sign the petition, they will reconsider. It's worth a try.

Summary: Let's hope they release the *entire* series
Review: "Once and Again" was a wonderful, brilliantly acted series, that ABC thoughtlessly cancelled earlier this year, presumably to make room for quality shows like "The Bachelor" (a joke) -

Sela Ward, Billy Campbell and especially the younger actors continually amazed me with their work on the show.

As a fan of the late, great "My So-Called Life", I found this show just as effective in showing what its like to be human.

About the only storyline on the show that bored me, just a little, was the one that featured "thirtysomething" hold-over, "Miles Drentell", but even then, actor David Clennon managed to show us the humanity behind his character's weasel exterior.

Shane West, and Julia Whelan (who resembles Claire Danes) both were stunning as the older children, and Meredith Deane, and especially Evan Rachel Wood, as the younger ones, were brilliant.

Wood was robbed of an Emmy nomination for her work on the show's third season, where she heart-breakingly portrayed her character's confusion over her burgeoning sexuality.

Finally, Susanna Thompson kicked out the jams during the "accident" storyline, and she, too, was robbed of an Emmy nomination.

A great series, that deserved another chance.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Terrific Edition to our DVD Library!
Review: I absolutely loved "Once and Again" and was so disappointed when the network cancelled it. I hoped against hope that the public's outcry to bring it back on the air would spark Network Execs, but to no avail. Fortunately, Buena Vista DVD brings to our DVD screens once and again, the trials and tribulations of this extraordinary storyline. The episodes included are the first 22 including the Pilot episode where Lily first meets Rick...and the romance between the two of them ensues. The quality of this DVD series is wonderful. The pictures are crystal clear. The only thing missing is more interactive materials available on so many other DVD sets (i.e. interviews with the cast, outtakes, etc.). But maybe they are saving that for the next set (hopefully there will be another set - the next season). I believe the price is relatively good considering the fact that you are getting 22 episodes. And the boxed set does come with plastic inserted compartments for the DVD's themselves. Very nice packaging.

Overall, I give this selection 5 stars, and would recommend it highly!

Enjoy!

Summary: The best series
Review: This series was so good! I can't believe more people didn't watch it. I just love all the life issues that it dealt with! I can't wait until the second season comes out on DVD!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fabulous show!
Review: I am eagerly awaitng the remaining seasons of this wonderful show however, according to my friend at tvshowsondvd.com since the first set didn't sell well *because BV made the set so damn hard to find!* he said BV had killed any plans for the remainder of the series. This is Buena Vista's fault!! It took me hours of driving to find any store that even had this release on it's computer yet they had all the other shows released that day! I finally found it in Media Play... I've written BV many times.. but, they don't care.. why should they? They're part of Eisner's Disney profiteering. Hey, if you only care about money Disney?! Guess what.. release the whole series and you'll have more!

Summary: Everyone Rally for The 2nd and 3rd Seasons
Review: We all have to put the pressure on Buena Vista Home Entertainment to get them to release the remaining seasons on dvd. ...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: When will the other seasons be released on dvd??
Review: It has been about a year and a half since this was released on dvd and I am sure many would agree that this is a wonderful wholesome and real series. It was great to 'live' through the entire romance of Lily and Rick in 2002. But what about the other seasons? Are there plans for the second season, and the third at that, to be released on dvd? There is most certainly a market for them. I am sure that I am not speaking for myself when I say that we want them...so please make them. Thanks.
