I'm a little late to the game here. Never watched this when it was on the CW. Most of those shows weren't my cup of tea. I like to watch a good show before I go to sleep at night and discovered this on Prime/IMDB TV. Hooked me right away. Good family drama - even if a tab bit ridiculous at times.

My only complaint is that, since I live in Colorado, there's not one single mountain town that remotely resembles the fictitious town of Everwood. The houses these people live in are no where near houses in any mountain town I've been to. These are huge country/city type homes. The streets look like Park Hill in Denver. I guess if you're going to do a show that's set in a Colorado mountain town, you'd want to at least make it look like a Colorado mountain town. Also - there's no such thing as Colorado A & M. That made me laugh. AND 25 minutes from Everwood no less.

Ignoring The obvious fauxpaus of the town, it's an enjoyable escape.

This is what I look for in entertainment, it kept my attention throughout all four seasons. They tackled several "hot topic" issues, and presented both sides. A lot of love and a lot of family issues. There were some episodes where it angered me to see the disrespect of these wealthy kids towards their parents, but who knows, maybe that's the way it is in real life. But all in all, the intro music, the life situations presented, and the ending were all VERY entertaining.

The characters are interesting, and draw you in from the first episode. Well written and very clever humors at times. Quite relaxing and worth watching.

Everwood. The story of a man and his family, whom upon a tragic death, uproot their life in New York city and move to Everwood, Colorado.

Treat Williams pulls off a fine display as Dr. Andrew Brown, a single father trying to restart his life after an emotional loss. Andy tries hard to fix things, be it a local marriage, the town's awareness of STDs, or his less than perfect relationship with his son, Ephram, played by Gregory Smith. Ephram, a gifted pianist, has his own troubles to deal with... notably his "new guy" status and the connection he makes with Amy Abbot, daughter of his father's medical rival and girlfriend of the local 'Mr. Popular'.

All in all, the series plays out wonderfully. The lush setting of Everwood keeps it far from the fancy glitz often seen in today's television, and gives the show a home feel to it. The developing characters weave together a complete picture of the mountain town. A place where everyone knows one another, and community is hard to avoid.

In my personal opinion, Everwood is one of the best shows on television today. With as much emphasis as there is being put on bright lights and big city, it is refreshing to find a down to earth realistic show that doesn't scream for attention through forced drama and scandalous plot.

Personal rating: 10/10

I started watching Everwood at the start of the second season. I cried so hard during that first episode I watched and I knew I was hooked.

I watched the show faithfully for the last three years and I fell in love with the little town and it's citizens. I laughed with them, cried with them, felt betrayed with them, and got through tough times with them.

When I found out the the show was canceled I nearly cried again. I couldn't believe that they would get rid of such an awesome show.

The series finale was a great send off for a brilliant show, and like that first episode and many others it left me in tears.

Everwood is a great show with real characters who bring you into their homes and you can't help but let them into your hearts.

One of the best series ever performed. A pity it has ended after just 4 seasons. Talented great actors, beautiful photography, a complete and amazing drama, full of sentiments, sensations, fun. It makes me smile, makes me laugh, makes me cry a lot too. But leave a great message, life is hard, could be really really hard, but friendship and love are stronger.I'll be expectant of Everwood complete series DVD's!!! A message to WB: repeated it complete at nights or weekends!, I cannot get it during working hours and i really wanted to watched it again completed, since the very first beginning chapter. Thanks for this 4 years of Everwood. Keep it alive!!!.

I like the series, but the teenagers are too bratty with too many cute phrases. Love both of the doctors and Dr. Brown's nurse. It is pleasant, does not take a mental giant to watch it.

A gem. Truly one of the greatest shows ever. Always nice to visit Everwood.

So I am old enough to have seen this when it first aired on tv. I never watched the entire thing, and thought recently that I should change that as I had fond memories of the show and wanted to find out how it held up today.

And the first season actually holds up pretty good. A father brings his family to a rural town after his wife dies, as he tries to become a better father to his children who he has sort of neglected for most of their lives. Ephram (the son) already starts out annoying, but you can sort of understand his anger at his father trying to be a family man a bit too late.

We get introduced to the other doctor in town, who actually ended up being one of my favourite characters of the show along with his son Bright, who starts out feuding with the main character as he starts up a competing practice in the small town.

Fun characters, realistic drama, you have your impossible love triangle with a surprising twist and beautifull scenery. Yep, Everwood is up to a great start.

It's in later seasons where the show's entertainment value takes a drop, when both Ephram and Amy become absolutely insufferable ungratefull drama queens. They really are made for each other, as I could not stand either of them by the end of the show.

I honestly don't understand how the series shows them as being the couple who you should root for (the Ross and Rachel of the show so to speak) when they are shown to be absolutely horrible human beings. Same for the father and his interest in his neighbour. I did not care for either of them either as they likewise progressively became bad people due to their actions.

All in all I am glad to have seen the entirety of Everwood, but I wouldn't really recommend it besides the first season. The show does have a proper ending if you do decide to watch it all though.

Everwood has been my favorite show since it aired in 2002 and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future. Anything and everything surrounding this show is impressive and imersive, and I would highly recommend watching if you are a fan of classic tv shows that manage to still be relatable. Also us Everwood fans would love something like a 4 part follow up just saying.

If any guy acted like this in real life girls would avoid him like the plague. Talk about emotional labor. He's incapable of communicating, he's constantly sullen or behaving like a dick to his dad or girlfriend. Because he's so dark and mysterious.

As the second season of "Everwood" has gotten underway, I have moved this show up in my ranking-it has now become my second favorite show of all time behind "Once and Again". Although "Once and Again" was a superb, one of a kind show, "Everwood" possesses many stylistic and thematic similarities to the prior show. It also boasts excellent acting from its adult as well as teenage cast. "Everwood"'s two core families-the Browns and the Abbotts-are written as real people with strengths and weaknesses, and played by talented actors who bring these characters to life. Greg Berlanti has proven with this show that he has the ability to make a contemporary family drama that can be popular as well as real. "Everwood" is definitely my second favorite show of all time.

A brilliant brain-surgeon moves to a small town with his teenage son and small daughter, when he is widowed. This has excellent writing, with clever and well-delivered dialog(so much of which is quote-worthy and memorable), and smart scripts throughout, and deals with countless problems, and usually in a respectful manner. The values promoted tend to be traditional ones, but this usually doesn't underestimate the issues it goes into. There is a lot of humor in this show, and I can't claim to keep from laughing whenever Tom Amandes speaks one of his utterly perfect lines. The cast is great, and almost all of the acting is marvelous. Vivien Cardone is incredibly talented for her age, Gregory Smith is far from that kid in Small Soldiers, and Treat Williams is impeccable. I could go on. The characters are plentiful, varied(everyone will have someone to like and/or recognize themselves in) and well-developed, and they all genuinely grow throughout the course of the series. This maintained a pretty high level of quality all the way, if it got somewhat melodramatic after the first season(and by the fourth, Bright was kind of the preferred scapegoat when someone had to do or have done something wrong). The guest stars are good. I recommend this to any fan of drama shows with dry comedy. 8/10

When Manhattan surgeon Andrew 'Andy' Brown is widowed, he decides to start a whole new life in the idyllic Colorado town Everwood, but gets more than what he bargained for. It takes an eternity for the city doctor to fit into the small community, which already has popular Dr. Harold Abbott. It's even worse for his son Ephram who falls for sweet Amy Abbott, daughter of the local doctor. Along with little Delia, the family of three deal with emotions, loss, and new relationships.

Treat Williams is great and Gregory Smith is solid as the angry teen. Emily VanCamp is perfect as the sweet love interest. All the characters and the actors are compelling. I love all 4 seasons. It's a teen drama as well as more adult emotional fare.

No kills, no zombies, no traitors, no corrupt politicians, no mafia, no superheroes..., only life, the best costum serie ever (maybe as dr alaska or wonderful years). Magnificent actors, specially tom amandes/dr abbot, and a young chris pratt (yes guardians of the galaxy, jurassic world...). In world full of series, i miss this kind of series.

Everwood is a sweet family-oriented series. The storylines deal with some deep issues, and handle them in a delicate way. My only 2 concerns- 1. Some crass language and 2. Too much sex. Of course, sex is nothing to be ashamed about, but teenagers need to realize there's more to growing up than this one very special and private part of life.

I'm late to this show, currently binging it from Amazon Prime and have made it almost through season two. I don't think I can finish it.

It started promising. The backstory introduced early in season one was an interesting one. The characters were sympathetic and left you wanting to know more. The writing was clever and witty. As the season wore on, though, the cracks started showing.

At this point in my viewing, I find myself fast-forwarding through most of it. Every few minutes is a screaming session. There seems to have been a fighting quota the writers were trying to meet. I've never seen a show in which there's an argument in virtually every scene, one after the other.

And most of the scenes involve kids yelling at or smart-mouthing adults. The cliche writing of the spoiled teenager archetype is so exaggerated you start to wonder if the writers decided to turn this into a comedy. These aren't characters anymore; they're caricatures. And as the show goes on, it feels more and more unserious.

Offhand, I can't think of a show that had more frustrating character interactions. A constant stream of negativity; every scene contentious. The characters' constant misery starts to weigh on you as a viewer. It's just all too much.

Started out promising, quickly descended into a train wreck. Not sure yet if it's the kind of train wreck you can't stop watching or the kind you can't wait to get away from.

It seems that the rumors are true and "Everwood" hasn't been picked up in the merger of UPN and the WB. Now millions of people will never get a chance to know what it's precious few fans already know: "Everwood" is written far too well to have it lost in the cracks of time as the show continues to make us both laugh and cry in almost every episode.

I cannot say the same for any other show on television today.

It's had a great four year run and had it not been for the merger, I have no doubt "Everwood" would have been on the air for at least another four. But I guess we'll never know... That is unless the folks at CW change their minds and pick up "Everwood" as a mid-season replacement, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

This show was better than I thought that it would be. I certainly wasn't anything great, especially from the WB but I would say that "Everwood" was a solid attempt at a show about the relationship between a widower and his two children.

I especially liked Treat Williams' performance as Dr. Edward Brown the brain surgeon who leaves behind world-wide fame to live in a small town in Colorado called Everwood. A place that his son Ephram (played by Gregory Smith, that kid from the Patriot and Small Soldiers who actually surprised me a with a decent performance) does not want to go to.

The first episode was a typical sort of "seeing the new town" sort of pilot episode. It was fairly well done though I did not like Debra Mooney who played the biker-chick/nurse hybrid. I think that she once played a judge on one of the courtroom dramas, probably The Practice, and I could not really look past that.

All in all I would say that I liked this show but I don't think that it has the cast to stick around much past the first season, if that.

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!
