This is a show that has stuck with me for years. I still miss it. And I totally agree with other comments, the network KILLED it. I loved it, I wanted to watch it, but for the life of me, I could never figure out just when or where to watch it. Even the fans couldn't find it how could it find new viewers? It seems to be a trend in the networks, killing off the good ones because it doesn't meet their demographic, or they monkeyed with the time slot till it died. Especially this year with the writer's strike, so many shows got cancelled, not because they weren't good, but because of mismanagement. I would buy Homefront on DVD if I could find it. Anyone out there have it on tape and willing to share?

This was a fabulous show that was cut short in it's prime! To add to that horror they are claiming that it isn't financially prudent to release it on DVD! Now is the time! First of all it has a large fan base, made up of original watchers of the series. They are crying out, calling, and petitioning their hearts out! Secondly, there has been a renewed interest in this time period. This has been made possible through the release of time period marketing for many products used today! It has also been helped greatly by other period movies that have been released, including but not limited to: The Notebook, Pearl Harbor, The Black Dahlia, and The Aviator! All well marketed, successful films, with big star names acting in them! Finally you add in the war buffs and those that are currently on the homefront and waiting to see when and if their loved one's will come home, and wondering what will it be like when they get here! This series fulfills all of that! It is a story of tragedy, hope, failures, and successes, as well as showing everyone that we would all be better off if we looked out for each other instead of back stabbing and climbing over them to get ahead! I hope for everyone that they finally agree to release this on DVD. As for the claim that the music royalties are pricey... well it must not be too bad, because there sure seem to be a lot of new "hep cats" that are remaking and releasing the same songs! The interest is there... they just need to fill it and we will fill their pockets!

I recently obtained a complete set of Homefront on DVD from a company in Canada. Quality is very good to excellent. I had forgotten the exceptional quality of the writing and acting of this series. It should be running on one of the mainstream cable networks. I grew up in the late 40s and early 50s. This series captures the era better than anything I've ever seen on TV. Many of the actors are still seen on shows ranging from Crossing Jordan to Scrubs, Young and the Restless, Becker, and many others. The only comparable series that comes to mind is American Dreams...and, of course that ended prematurely, too. Why must we tolerate the mindless garbage of "reality TV" when writers can craft scripts of this quality.

I absolutely loved this show. My son of 18 at the time told me to watch it. I declined as usual because every show I started watching at the time was canceled within 13 weeks. I did finally give in and watched it later in the season. I was hooked. I did watch the summer reruns and the next season. I was heartbroken when it was canceled. I have been looking for it on reruns ever since. Last year I found it on Cable GoodLife TV and have recorded every episode. I watch it over and over again. I think if it had lasted another year it might have caught on. I do not understand why has taken so long to come out on DVD. Should be in everyone's library. It is well acted, well directed, well cast and as short as it was great history of the times. Would love to see it on a more popular cable station as well as DVD.
