I was very impressed with the high quality of acting done by every one of the cast members. All three seasons that I watched had me wanting to see more. It held my interest throughout and had me guessing who the "Plummer" was up to the very end. I sincerely hope that the program goes on for more seasons. There certainly seems to be enough of a story line to support it. I am highly recommending this program to my friends and family to watch. I think the quality of the sets and the costumes were good. I loved seeing all of the classic cars. The family values and way that people showed respect for one another does one's heart good to watch it is a very refreshing change from the majority of programming one is subjected to these days on TV.

I have now watched all 3 seasons of Granite Flats and I was impressed overall. The third series came to a very good climax although I did guess who the "Plummer" was long before he was exposed. Very thought provoking program. Was Lee Harvey Osward programmed to kill President Kennedy? I suppose we'll never know the real story behind that but who knows what dirty dealings went on then and still do to this day. Granite Flats shows the good and bad in all people. Here we have characters who do a lot of stuff they think is for the good of mankind but deep down they regret what they do. Certainly a family type show but the storyline might be too complex for the under tens although I may be underestimating the intelligence of many of them. My main criticism is how the story switches about so much it's often hard to tell what's happening. In between series two and three we learn that Arthur's mother is dead and he is suddenly not very friendly with Timmy and Madeline and we realize how much we have missed because of the huge gap between each season and I wish we could have had more episodes. I was hoping that Arthur would be reunited with his father and I'm not sure there will be another season. Shame if there isn't because there are still a few loose ends. Very enjoyable viewing.

Episode 1 of season 3 was enough for me to turn it off forever. Terrible writing. Loved how it was developing till then. Never seen writers/directors/producers turn a show into a different direction so quickly abruptly and senselessly. Seasons 1 and 2 had rough moments as actors grew into their roles but the storyline was engaging. Bringing Christopher Lloyd in was great. So 5 minutes into season 3 episode one, I realize the show is scrambled. I look up on the internet to confirm. Yes, they have purposely complicated the series. No reason other than the screw with the audience. I realize the kiss at the end of season 2 is the end of the series and I turn this show off forever.

Completely enjoyable for all ages and non Mormon's need not fear this is a proselytizing tool. While the show is wholesome and honors Later Day Saint moral standards there is no direct or indirect Mormon content in the production. The plot is interesting and holds your attention, young and old. You should note that it is a serial and needs to be viewed in sequence. The cast and writing work well and any unevenness is easily forgiven when you accept that this is after all a University production. If you enjoyed shows in the past like Sky King or Lassie and lament that TV has lost its sense of innocence you will love this. The episodes are free to watch on the BYUTV web page so you can give the first episode a test run and see for yourself what I like about this production.
