Homefront is an excellent show with an outstanding cast. The storyline keeps you wanting more and supplies a great history lesson at the same time. From depression and war to an economic growth and changing society. The Good, the bad & the ugly all appear while setting new trends. This needs to get on Hulu, Crackle, Netflix or some TV network site. Free viewing to be recommended for all young adults. Learning can be fun and easy & this show is a prime example of a very interesting era in America. I hope everyone has the opportunity to view this program; it will quickly become one of your all time favorite TV programs.

This show was one of my all time favorites and one of the best shows ever. Of course, like a number of past shows on the big three networks, it was rewarded for its excellence by cancellation. This show was a wonderful portrait of mid American life in the post world War 2 period. Not a single performance hit a false note, and the scripts captured all of the social changes and cultural trends of the time. I still remember one episode about labor-management conflict. There was a fascinating montage at the end, showing a meeting of managers and business owners in one room and of labor organizers in the other. In each room, there is just one woman present-to serve coffee. Let me speak frankly. It has been said before, but the collective intelligence of most TV programmers and executives is roughly equivalent to that of gnats. A whole TV network could be fashioned just out of brilliant, but canceled shows. The Westerner, Slatterys People,Channing, My Wotld and Welcome To it, The John Larouquette Show, Nichols, East Side West Side, the Rogues, I'll Fly Away,The Adventures of Briscoe County Junior, T.H.E. Cat, and this- and that is only the tip of the iceberg. Sometimes, I think TV is a device to make us dumb,and that whenever a good show briefly slips through the cracks, and actually tries to , God help us, provoke thought, it is rapidly canceled, unless the writers come up with a clever enough gimmick, like a mysterious Island, or a suburban Mafia family, or a father and son team of defense attorneys. Ah, there are a half million stories from the annals of network stupidity, and this was one of them.

As I have been decluttering I came across some VHS video tapes entitled "Homefront". It all came back to me - not just how great the show was, but how I was so disappointed when it was canceled. And I remember there were a lot of us that joined a bbs group that bombarded ABC with our protest. Rem this was before web browsers and e-mail so this was the only way to communicate with fans and the producers. I put them in right away and immediately picked up the storyline and characters. I ditto everyone else's comments on the plot, characters, writing, producing, awards, hair and dress - the whole genre - WWII, union labor, communism, fuller brushes, post prohibition, red lipstick. Does anyone know where you can get dvds, VHS, whatever of the entire series? I gave up years ago. We need this quality again.

Why no DVD set of the two seasons? I do not understand why none. Each week I check for it. I then buy an other DVD as I wait. I have a space saved for the Homefront series next to my Lord of the Rings films and my AA winning Best Picture collection. (Yes, I also have space for the Hobbit should it be made.) :) If the person who owns the right to the DVD for this series reads this, or you know the person please tell them, "Please release the Homefront series on DVD. It should be seen, enjoyed and not left collecting dust in storage. If you make DVDs, people will come. They will come and buy. They will watch and word will spread." Homefront is a rare treasure. If you have not seen it, search it out. You are in for a real treat.
