    i was obsessed watching this show, Everwood affected me in such deep way, the theme of the show is still following me, even as a morning wake up alarm, such a beautiful tune. every episode opened with few words, , i cant describe how hooked i was, i just was delighted from the script, the actors who played the roll and dreamt about living in a true town called everwood somewhere in Colorado.

    Somewhere in the middle of the Colorado mountains: Welcome to Everwood, a small town complete with quirky inhabitants and easy-going lifestyle, where everyone knows everyone. But then, a new face appears in town. Dr. Andrew Brown (Treat Williams, with a beard!), a world-famous neurosurgeon and his children Ephram, played by Gregory Smith, and Delia, played by Vivien Cardone.Andy is here to start a new life. After his wife died in a car accident, he realized how little he knew his own children. Now, he wants to reconnect. There's just one problem. His son hates him.Meanwhile, Ephram has other problems. He falls in love with the most popular girl in school, Amy, played Emily VanCamp, who, of course, has a boyfriend. Not only that, this boyfriend is in a coma. So when she hears about a surgeon coming to town, she has new hope.The aforementioned quirky Everwoodians have various reactions to the new residents. There's the town's doctor, played by Tom Amandes, who isn't happy about the new competition as Andy opens an office. There's his estranged mother, played by Debra Mooney, who is married to the only black guy within a 30-mile radius. There's Andy's neighbor, Nina, played by Stephanie Niznik, with whom he always finds a sympathetic ear."Everwood" was easily one of the best dramas on TV. Mostly because it had a lot of drama (Deaths! Comas! Unrequited love!) without ever being cheesy, and just enough comedic elements without being ridiculous.Another strong suit of the show are its characters, whom you just can't help but fall in love with as you get to know them along the way. A lot of that is due to great writing, but just as much credit goes to the actors who craft their characters with a certain fondness. Tom Amandes in particular succeeds in making the town doctor, who seems to be nothing but a funny sidekick at first, into a multi-layered, interesting person.There's one thing you can count on with "Everwood." Almost every single episode will make you cry like a baby, or, at the very least, make your eyes water. It's just that good.

    *Everwood SPOILERS* When prominent neurosurgeon Andrew Brown (Treat Williams, 'Hair')'s wife Julia (Brenda Strong, 'Desperate Housewives') dies in a car crash on her way to their 15-year-old son Ephram (Gregory Smith, 'The Patriot')'s piano concert, the grieving man decides to respect one promise he made to her and moves, with Ephram and his younger sister Delia (Vivien Cardone, 'A Beautiful Mind'), to the charming little Colorado town of Everwood.Here, Andy decides to reinvent himself as a free doctor (he doesn't need the money), much to the dismay of the town's only doctor, Harold Abbott, Jr. (Tom Amandes, 'Brokedown Palace'), whose mother Edna (Debra Mooney) to add insult to injury (according to him) has been hired as Dr. Brown's receptionist.Ephram enrolls into the local high school, where he meets and befriends Dr. Abbott's daughter, Amy (Emily VanCamp, 'Brothers And Sisters') and, over time, her brother Harold Brighton 'Bright' (Chris Pratt, 'The OC'), who are still reeling from an accident that put Bright's best friend and Amy's boyfriend, Colin Hart (Mike), in a deep coma.Andy also meets Nina Feeney (Stephanie Niznik, 'Star Trek'), his next-door neighbor, whom he befriends and over time falls in love with, as Ephram does with Amy...A quirky and heartfelt dramedy, 'Everwood' creates that 'small town feeling' that not many shows can do, and sheds light on the feelings that tie fathers to their children, as 'Gilmore Girls' does with mothers.Everwood: 9/10.

    Well, after having seen some episodes I couldn't help thinking that I had seen most of it already in other TV-series and thus soon dropped it. It simply doesn't work for me! There are too many clichés and too many pathetic phrases in it to be regarded as good as series as Grey's Anatomy or Desperate Housewives, for instance.Furthermore I found the acting not that brilliant and sometimes everything just seemed too exerted. The script lacks word joke although I have the impression that the producers believe it to be good.Nevertheless some might find it quite entertaining and I have to admit that I've seen worse. But according to the quality of other series this one just can't keep up!
