Just like new May 19, 2009
Diana Mulholland
I am glad I did not spend any more money in buying this set of videos because the quality of the ones I got is like new. None of the CD's is scratched or has any problem. The set came shrink wrapped and the whole packaging looked brand new. Very happy.
American Family September 13, 2008

I remeember watching this series and thought how great it was to be able to see my life on tv. The families are all the same for most Mexican-Americans and other ethnic, color and so on.
Its the first season and I am just down to 2 disks, I saved it to watch on the weekends so I can relax without being disturbed. But I have looked, searched for the 2nd season, the final season apparently. I had hoped to order before I finished the 1st. Can someone tell me how to find this?
This is something I can leave my grandkids to watch someday and know who they are and where we came from.
great family drama September 18, 2007

as a big fan of hispanic director gregory nava (i too am latino), i saw this series from beginning to end and i wanted more shows. edward james olmos is excellent as the family patriarch as is esai morales as the ex-con/firefighter son. the rest of the cast is outstanding. great writing and directing make this series top notch. it IS unfortunate that this show did not air on network television.
after watching this, not only will latino people identify with the characters, so will asians, caucasions and african american. as each family has the same types of people as is portrayed in the show--ex-cons, junkies, loving moms, feisty teenage sons who are driven.
I wish there was more!!! August 15, 2006

 Good Series ruined by stupid producers August 19, 2005

This series was enjoyable and interesting for a while. The life of an extended latino family in modern Los Angeles seemed to have a lot of potential. It totally lost me however, when they made the episode showing the family in black and white film having adventures in the days of Pancho Villa. One of the producers had some old photographs of the period and thought it would be a fun thing to do. This sort of uncalled for self indulgence ruined the whole concept. Why take the time and effort to build characters that people understood and enjoyed and then all of a sudden demonstrate that they are not real characters at all, merely puppets on a string that the producers can do anything with that they like. Anyway, that was the last episode that I watched, even though I bought the DVD set. It was that irritating.
