I'm in the UK, so I watch this on ITV.Probably a bit old by the time I saw it 2002. My father died that year and the show kind of kept me going.I felt the those same feelings as sydney and in reverse by brother is like joanie.I would love to have the whole series on DVD, is there anywhere I can buy it? it helped me so muchRegardsLygia

Providence is a great television drama. It has elements of drama, comedy and romance in each episode, and revolves around the close-knit Hansen family and their fathers vet clinic.Some parts of it are Ally McBeal-esque, particularly the dream sequences that almost always begin each episode with Sydney Hansens mother and some crazy thing happening to Syd.After watching just a few episodes you really care about the characters and what happens to them and want to keep watching them.Some of the parts in the hospital and clinic are a bit like ER but the show is more relationship based.This is one of my favourite American TV dramas of all time!

Newly addicted to this show, I came across it this summer on the Fox Family channel and decided to check it out. Now I am hooked. I love the dream sequences between Syd and her mother. They are hilarious. And Jim Farrell is a great actor. There isn't a show like this on television. It's sentimental, sweet, funny, and just plain good television. Many congratulations to NBC for taking a risk and putting out a show that is a little quirky and not quite mainstream. it paid off big time. I will continue to watch this season on NBC and catch the reruns of the eps. I missed on Fox Family.Allison

For a show that purports to show the charm and wonder of living at home in Providence, it certainly misses its mark. Much of the information given about Providence and its surrounding area is highly inaccurate and borders on insulting at times. To top it all off, the writing is poor and the stories inane. For a good look at Providence, Rhode Island, come see our city. For a good Friday night, read a book instead of watching this bilge.
