I bought dvds to this show with an open mind. Wanting to be sucked in to be impressed but sadly I wasn't ..I couldn't help myself compare it to another tv show that i truly love which is desperate housewives...it seems like the same plot has been used but with not such amazing story telling, the cast isnt likeable and it just doesn't have the certain magic ingredient to make it a hit show...a true guilty pleasure....i did like two things about the show i liked roxy cause she was interesting and likeable...i loved the music i can almost say the music was just as good as one tree hill's but thats where the praise ends... this show could have been better if some originality was brought into it maybe if the way it was told was different, it the stories were made interesting and better actors were casted that brought something to the table...I'm honestly kinda surprised how this show made a whole season...where decent enough shows are quickly taken off air ..it totally isnt worth the watch...at least not good enough to be purchased as a whole set of dvds..!!..the show has a old vibe to it and not the good kind…

I am writing to the shows final episode! That was a disapointment to the show! I have been a fan of the show since day one and as a real life Army wife know the hardships we all face but this show took a turn for the worst tonight and lost my support. I think they have brought one characters and actors that have not done the show justice and think that this show is on a spiral to the dead zone.

Sorry folks but this is one show I asked everyone to watch and now have lost faith in the show.

I know everyone wants the show to come back, but I don't think it will. If it does come back, it won't be anything like the old show because some of the characters will be missing. In fact, Roxanne, must likely won't be there because she is coming out in a Lifetime Movie Channel movie shortly.

To many things left up in the air. The teenage daughter running off with the solider. In real llife it wouldn't happen. No way. Enlisted personnel and officers do not mix, especially teenage daughters.

Enlisted wives and officer wives don't mingle either. I just don't see Army Wives coming back, what do y'all think?

I have been hooked on Army Wives since the very first episode. It brings reality to the war as well as the struggles that real Army Wives go through day to day. With the story unfolding as the episodes go on, you can't help but wonder what will happen next! If this show was a soap opera that came on daily, I would be ready to watch everyday! I love it! What does the future hold for the wives on post? If Pamela goes through with the divorce, she will have to leave post and what will she do then? They will probably write her off. I believe that she is an important piece to the show and I don't want to see her go! I guess we will all have to keep watching to see what she will do.

I love armywives...its hard to watch though bc i was marring into the army but we ended up just being friends...but he is in training for war right now so its hard...but i still watch it every sunday night!!although the show has a few parts are totally made up for the whole tv point of everything but it does show what military families have to deal with every day of this war...yes officers wives dont take to or hand out with enlisted wives (or husbands for that matter)but i do like how the show shows that ther are army husbands too!

Hi

I am currently a military spouse and I have to disagree with rss0162. It depends on the base where you live. My neighbors in OH were enlisted and my husband was an officer. I being a wife and not the active duty member can hang out with whomever I want and through playgroups I have made great friends with enlisted wives. So that part of the Army Wives show is very realistic. You won't though see the husbands hanging out as much. There is a somewhat fine line between enlisted and officer when it comes to the active duty member. So on a whole I think the show is very realistic and has shown some issues in the military I have seen -- now grant it some are dramatized for tv purposes.

OMG -My sister got me HOOKED on this show while we were together in our fathers last month on this earth. Coming from a military family, we both could relate to the issues presented here. And to you GUYS out there---It is NOT just another chick-flick!!!!! -I may even try to watch the back episodes of Army Wives. I hope that Catherine Bell can continue on the show, she kinda puts a Military feel to the show after starring in JAG, but one can not forget her role a a GOOD witch in the Hallmark series. -Army Wives way to GO!!!!

I love the show Army Wives. I have a lot of family that is in the military. Some family members are in the Navy. Some are in the Army or Marines. Everything they show on this television show is just like real life. I was so caught up in the last episode. I can not wait until the nest season to see is the one mom character is going to make it back from war to see her baby and husband. Then that one couple is really on the rocks, I do not know if they are going to divorce or work out there differences. I really can not wait until next season.

Poor Roland.... His plans of a enjoyable evening for him and Joan takes a turn for the worse. Even though they were ill, I could not stop laughing...



So what kind of shape is Chase in? Only next week will tell. Pamela was ready to lose it and not afraid to take some casualties if she could not find out Chase's status. Claudia Joy is afraid to let others see her week. Unfortunately, this may cause more damage than good for herself and those that are around her.



So is the life of a recruiter, Trevor attempts to find a couple of recruit to make his monthly mission. However, regardless of what he tries, even with the assistance of Roxie, it does not look good. But it appears that it may be taking a turn to the good when he tries to chase down the track team.

I Love This Show I Wouldn't Stop Watching For Any Reason For Anything Or Anyone I Am Going To Watch Repeats Thats How Much I Love This Show Plus My Hubby Use To Be In The Army So The Show Hits Home In So Many Ways And I Dont Think Anyone Really Sees The Whole Point Of The Show Its Kinda Like A Place For All Of Us Army And Military Wives To Meet And Know That We Have A Friend In One Another, My Hubby Even Like This Show So I Really Hope A Season 3 Does Come Back.

This program gives a unique perspective to army life and what the families of our soldiers deal with, on a daily basis. It explores difficult topics in a sensitive manner. Each of the characters is well developed, by the writers. The actors, playing the rolls, give them great dimension really bringing them to life. Lifetime has always shown a great deal of courage in the shows it creates. Army Wives is one of their best.



The cast is a great combination of familiar faces as well as some that we may not know as well. I am particularly impress with Sally Pressman. It is also fun to see Catherine Bell out of uniform.

i absolutely love this show. i fell in love with it the first time i ever watched it, i have missed some episodes but i think that i am up to date now. i would have to say that i 1) dont like what is going on with the rolands the fact that joan is losing her position because the new 'big guy' on base is friends with mr.connor and i dont like what is going on with the nepthew of betty coming in and tryin to take betty's bar from roxy! but i absolutely love this show! and i will continue watching it. cant wait til next season.

This show touches so many people's hart and there true lives that are involved in the Army today, that I think ever taking this show off the air would make them feel like they are loosing a big part of there lives. It's a grate show and I am shure that it has helped people get through tough times. I feel like some times some of them are living my life. I wish it was on earlier and more than once a week Thanks for bringing this show into our lives I hope it never goes off the air.

I have been watching show since it aired last season i feel that they are tackling some very good issues and things that need to be addressed you see i am an Army Wife and i have felt or known someone who has flet as these wives do... you see the storyline with Denise is something my bestfriend went through i felt alot like Clauida joy i was stuck in the middle my husband had no use for her after her "KISS"!!!! and i feel like roxy more times than not with taking care of the kids and rhw house and work ... all i can say is WOW and thank you lifetime for a great show

This is about my favorite show of them all. I am a 42 year old woman who lives about 20 minutes from where it is taped, and my sister runs a coffee shop near the taping area, and she has talked to many of these actors and actresses. She told me they are just like you see them on television, very personable and friendly. And I can believe it, this show wouldn't be where it is without these very talented people. I wish them all the best and actors should always remember your fans, you'll go a long way in doing so.

Ok, this by far is one of the best shows I have watched in a long time. I can't wait to buy the episodes on DVD. Unfirtunately it will come to an end one day. I love the characters and story lines. It deals with everyday issues and real life stories. I never miss an episode but luckily if I do they show it again Mondays. They could not have cast a better cast if they tried. I give Army Wives a 10.0. Way to go Lifetime. I hope they donot cancel, they will lose and avid watcher. way to go !!!!!!

In spite of trying to pass off Gifey as a good guy. In fact he was a Prediator and stalker. In spite of him saying that he wasn't up to hitting on a married woman. He tried to get Denise to ride with him on the back roads to take her to breakfast and in the supply room the forced kiss. Also when she was having breakfast at the out of the way cafe, he just showed up. Give me a break.

There are things that a man with any honor does not do. Among them,you don't hit on married women who's husband is fighting in a combat zone. That alone makes him a scum bag.

I wonder if he had the courage to hit on her if Frank was there.

I'm glad Frank came back when he did, Denise didn't have to make a decision about the Scum Bag Dr.. Frank needs to change his attitude or she's going to leave him. She's been a prisoner in her marrige and deserves to be treated with respect and some freedon to try different things. He should be open to this and join with her. If he lover her before I can't imagine How great it would be with her now. WOW!

I enjoy the stories about the military, and I do not know why. Maybe it is because of all they do for me. The families suffer along with the troops. This show gives them the credit they truly deserve. It shows that making friends can be both difficult and awkward. Once you gain the friend, it is worth it. I see real emotion played on this show, as well as informative dialogue that teaches me about military life and regulations on base. This is not an easy life to choose, but the friendships seem to last for life. I give this one a real thumbs up!

I started watching this show when a "friend" of mine said how good it was.. when I had seen it on commercial, I thought it looked good, but TOO much like desperate housewives.., but I was wrong!! the four woman and one man beeing the partners of army-people is both fun and exciting..

this shows can remind you of a more "grown-up" show, cause I think my mum would have liked it:P but still it has some great characters and storylines:) and HOT drew fuller:P

favorite characters in order: pamela, roxy, claudia, denise, trevor, joan, roland...

I don't knpw of many who likes this show, or have even HEARD of it.., but it's really good:) very typical american:P lol..

this show has been a different series and i have enjoyed it so much my all time favorite show in the whole world is one tree hill nothing will ever top it but this show is def right under it... i just love all the love and friendship that goes on in it. this show has talk me a lot about what distance between a loved one can do it can make you stronger or tear you apart and in there cases it builds them stronger especially my favorite couple roxy and trevor they have so much love and attraction for one another it is so amazing.... yet other things are so sad like amanda dyeing was a terrible tragedy no mother can really cope with that. this show is continuously coming with new episodes and i cant wait to add to my review when i watch more episodes.. but tonight (July 27) Roxy fired that snob who worked in the bar who tried to hit on her husband and he was gorgeous when he said that she was so sexy for doing that i love them i cant stop talking about them lol!! well i will continue later!!



xoxo....

I love this show. I look forward to it every Sunday. And if I miss the show, please stay away until it comes on again and I watch it. LOL! I recently got out of the Amry myself so to me the show beings alot of emotion. Plus my boyfriend is currently stationed in Iraq. Plus after the last episode, I worked at JPAC as it was featured in this episode. So to me, this show has so much feelings and meanings behind it. I love it and I don't know what I would watch without it. Please keep it running!

My mother made me watch it.

Ok no that's not true, she was just talking about it all the time like it was the best thing to hit tv. I finally decided to watch it when the new season started. Before I knew it I was hooked! I was watching it every Sunday, like my mother and just couldn't wait for the next.

It ridiculous, how I got hooked so fast.

It's a really interesting show. All the action and drama I pretty much thought it was some boring, lame show but it isn't.

I'm still new so I don't know any names but m fav person is the blonde girl with two sons one of which wears glasses.

She's so feisty and has so much attitude but then she's a mom at the same time. She hates the army with all her guts.

Besides her there's the radio host girl, sort of like the narrator of the show who also works as a nurse and just recently got a Motorbike from a patient. Yea the show is pretty cool, you should get to watching it if you haven't yet. There's reruns during the week so if you don't catch it Sunday look out for it in the week.

I love this series because it is a great show. I love everything about this series from the characters to the story lines of the episodes. But the main reason I love this series because it based on real families and people in the army, navy, and so on. For anyone who have not already watching Army Wives,then I suggest you to do so now because it a really good series to watch. Its happy, sad, and funny sometimes. I hope that they keep this series going because it is a really great series to watch on television or computer when you want to watch something interesting.

"Army Wives" is a show that centers on the lives of four Army wives and one Army husband. It provides insight into what life is like for military families.



What "Army Wives" is NOT, is a 'be-all – tell-all' source of information for civilians and newly formed military families. It is not 100% accurate, but that's ok, because this is television.



What "Army Wives" IS, is a show that puts a positive light on military families. It addresses issues that military families face with great respect. This show reveals just how quickly bonds form for our military families. The bonds that are formed are as strong as those that people have with blood relatives, and sometimes even stronger. Brigadier General Michael and Claudia Joy Holden are the senior ranking family on Fort Marshall. They have been married for 18 years and have two daughters – Amanda and Emmalin.



Claudia Joy is a beautiful woman that maintains her composure and poise regardless of the situation. She ensures that all runs smoothly on the Holden home front. She is still very much in love with her husband.



Brigadier General Michael Holden is the Post Commander. When we first meet him, he is a Colonel and Number 2 man on the post. He is still very much in love with his wife and is very proud of her and their daughters.



Lieutenant Colonel Joan and Roland Burton are the second highest-ranking family on Fort Marshall. They have no children, as of yet. They are reuniting after a two-year, forced separation.



Dr. Roland Burton is a psychiatrist at Mercer Army Hospital. He is the husband in the Army 'Wives' group (harem). Roland is a patient, loving and caring man. We see the husband's perspective on what it is like to be married to an active duty, career soldier. He has stood by his wife's side as she pursued her military career. Roland loves his wife, but the two-year, military-induced separation has taken its toll upon him.



Major Frank and Denise Sherwood are the third highest-ranking family in our group of Army wives. They have one son, Jeremy. The Sherwoods love each other intensely, but have a few serious issues.



Denise is an elegant, quiet – almost shy – woman. Her husband and son were her whole world for many years. As the first season unfolds, we get to watch Denise's transformation. Her quiet and reserved manner belies an inner strength that could give Wonder Woman a run for her money!



Major Frank Sherwood is a gruff, 'manly' man. He is madly in love with his wife, but has a hard time showing emotion. He is Army through-and-through. About the only complaint that I have with the Frank Sherwood character is that he refers to their son, Jeremy, as 'the boy'.



Jeremy Sherwood is an only child. He is a troubled child. He has anger issues, which, in part, stem from his father's continued absences. In the first few episodes, it is revealed that he had begun to physically abuse his mother.



The show only skimmed on the abuse storyline. I would like to see it played out more. Abuse is too important of an issue to just cover briefly and then move on.



Chase and Pamela Moran are the highest-ranking enlisted family in our Army wives group. They have been married for several years and have two children, Katie and Lucas.



Pamela is a vivacious redhead. She is outspoken. She is a former Boston Police Officer. When we first meet Pamela, she is very pregnant with twins. However, the twins are not hers. She is a paid surrogate. Pamela and Chase have not made that fact public. By the end of the first episode, though, four others will be sharing their secret!



Chase Moran is in Delta Force. He is constantly gone. When he is home, he can be called away at a moment's notice. Pamela never knows where he is or how long he will be gone.



I was not overly impressed with Chase Moran in Season 1. In the first few episodes, he came across as selfish, and, at times, childish. It wasn't until the middle of the first season that I warmed up to his character.



Private First Class Trevor and Roxy LeBlanc are the last of our core Army families. They are newlyweds and have two young sons – T.J. and Finn. They had only known each other for four days when they got married, but are very much in love with each other.



Roxy is a pretty and very spunky woman. She was married once before and has a child by her first husband. The marriage ended after he had 'sucker punched' her when she was six months pregnant. Her youngest son is from a brief encounter when a friend had come over to 'console' her.



Roxy tells it like it is and is no stranger to controversy. She is very new to the Army way of life. She has many rules and regulations that she is learning and several that she just does not understand. Roxy gets a job as a bartender/waitress at a bar off post – The Hump Bar. She gets the job because money is extremely tight for the newly formed family. The Hump Bar is considered a 'Jody Bar' – a bar where the spouses go to hook up with someone that is NOT his or her spouse.



Private First Class Trevor LeBlanc is a sweet and hopelessly romantic man. He has a heart of gold and is a wonderful husband and father. He knew that Roxy was his soulmate the moment he laid eyes on her. He loves her sons so much that he adopts them.



Our Army 'wives' have their first encounter with each other at a promotion ceremony dinner.



Based on the interaction between Claudia Joy and Denise, you can tell that they have been friends for many years. Claudia Joy and Denise were carrying on a conversation in the ladies' room when Roxy came out of one of the stalls in her bra and thong. She had taken off her dress to clean a spot where a drink had been spilled on it. Needless to say, Claudia Joy and Denise were VERY surprised at the sight of Roxy!



Unbeknownst to the trio, Roland and Joan were in another stall 'getting busy'. After the three ladies left, Roland tells Joan that the men's room is downright boring compared to the ladies' room!

The next time the group encounters each other is at a charity fundraiser tea party hosted by Claudia Joy. When Roxy arrives, she quickly realizes that she has just committed a major faux pas by arriving in her 'work' clothes. As Claudia Joy and Roxy are working their way through the yard, Roxy makes a comment to Claudia Joy about how the wives are going to be talking about her for a LONG time.



Claudia Joy pairs Roxy up with Pamela. Both ladies are considered 'black sheep' or undesirable for various reasons. The two women proceed to get to know each other.



Pamela tells Roxy that she is supposedly a drug dealer. As if that's not bad enough, she gets escalated to an even higher scandalous perch by allegedly getting pregnant by the chaplain!



Roxy gives Pamela a run for her money, though. Roxy tells Pamela that she has two kids and neither one are from her husband. She says that including that day (day of the tea party), she has only known her husband for 17 days.



Pamela tells Roxy that she is impressed. During their conversation, Pamela's water breaks. Pamela goes into a panic because she does not want to have the babies at the post hospital.



As Pamela's labor progresses, she reveals to Roxy that she is a paid surrogate and that no one can know about it. Roxy recruits Denise to help. Since it's Claudia Joy's house, she gets involved. Roxy, Denise and Pamela commandeer Roland's vehicle so that they can get Pamela to the hospital. Before he has a chance to drive off, Claudia Joy jumps in. They get as far as the Hump Bar before they are forced to stop. Denise delivers the twins on a pool table!



As the first baby arrives, everyone is taken by surprise when they see that the baby is African-American. In unison, they all turn to look at Roland and he says, "Well, it wasn't me!" When Roland says, "Let's just say childbirth is disgusting as it is miraculous," had me cracking up!



From that experience, a wonderful, special and unique bond is formed.



We get to watch as the five friends work their way through deployments, gossip hounds, PTSD, infidelity and physical abuse. There are light-hearted moments and some major gut-wrenching ones in almost every episode.



This series brings attention to some of the most under-appreciated people – the husbands and wives of our military forces. It does so in a respectful and tactful manner.



For me, this show is OUTSTANDING. The actors and actresses breathe life into these characters. They make the character easy to identify with, which, in turn, helps us to become emotionally invested in them. You can tell that the actors and actresses truly care and work hard to 'get it right.' That is why I give this show a 10 out of 10!

First of all, I am done with all these shows about Wives. Desperate Housewives, The Starter Wives, plus 10 more. And you can tell these womens looks were based after the ones on Desperate. I've seen thousands of previews for months and it looked really stupid, So I thought, meh, I'll give it a chance. I couldn't stand it! Bad acting, unclear plot, and the camera man certainly can not keep the camera still, I about had whiplash. I will never watch this show again. It is much to stupid and overrated. and, they should really get some real actors. Horrible!

Army Wives is one of the best shows on television. It follows the lives of Claudia Joy Holden, Denise Sherwood, Pamela Moran, Roxy LeBlanc, and Roland Burton as they deal with the deployment of their spouses in the military. Each actress or actor, and character, are vastly different yet the show would not be the same without a single one of them. Claudia Joy is used to being a general's wife, so she knows the army almost as well as her husband. Denise tries to balance her husband's deployment (and subsequent return), their son, and work, unable to just stay at home anymore. Pamela's husband is in Delta Force, so when he leaves Pam has no idea where he is or when he is coming back. Roxy is new on post, having just married Trevor and moving to South Carolina. Roland is a psychatrist and his wife Joan has just come home. Through one event, all five are bonded and turn to each other in times of turmoil. Roxy and Pamela, who have become fast friends, begin to see a different side to Denise and Claudia Joy, both of whom have been married for almost 20 years and know the code of the army. Roland is the most misunderstood; he is neither a wife nor a soldier. Still, he understands all four women.



Through all the tears and laughter, at the heart of this show is true strength and love. These women depend on each other when times get hard, and they know beyond a shadow of a doubt who their true friends are. "Army Wives" shows an accurate picture of what it's like to love someone in the Army; neither advocating the war or slamming it, the show simply offers a glimpse into the people who are also fighting a difficult battle; those behind the soldiers, loving them and supporting them. This show has truly brightened up the television screen, and I hope it will continue to do so for many more seasons.

This show hits home so much with me being a military spouse. It is so nice to see a show portray military spouses and the everyday stress we endure. Hopefully some people will begin to realize the sacrifices we make every day.



This show isn't just about the war, it is about the strength that military wives and spouses must have to live and survive. Some people wonder if once the war is over, if the show will end. Military families go through more than just the war. We deal with being single parents during deployments, unaccompanied orders for 1-2 years depending on the job and assignment, the every day gossip on the base, the pay that is not available to cover all the expenses of the outside world, and the lack of support we get from the outside world in regards to the media and politicians. When people think of military, they think of war. This show shows that there is more to it than just the war. I think it is long overdue for a show like this. I hope that it continues for a long time.

All winter I waited for this show to come back, I figured I knew already that Amanda died she was afterall standing next to the bomber. Then I sat down and watch and there was Claudia Joy and her daughter on campus, pretty beaten up but alive and I was so happy. Not a tear was shed, oh I could feel Roxy's pain been there done that years ago. It did not make sense to me that the Commander came home during the middle of the day but after seeing the two on campus I figured the younger daughter was upset because she lost her sister to school. Being an old military wife I find it fascinating to see the wives of officers with the enlisted wives in true life this would not be allowed but I like the mix on the show. Roxy going up against the Lt. Col. that took guts and in real life it would have meant trouble for Trevor but in TV land I was proud that the Lt. Col. put Roxy at ease. Then Roxy found the cd and the tissue box came out for me and did not go away until well after the show. What wonderful writing. I was so caught up in the whole thing I never realized it was all a dream that Claudia Joy was having while she was returning from her injuries and she got to say goodbye to her oldest child.



I can hardly wait to see what next weeks episode brings I am sure it will be as good or better as this last one and that is going to be hard to do. Is there some reason we can't get tv like this on all the channels and get rid of some of these reality shows.

ok so life time did it again. I had tears rolling down my face watching the season permier. They touch on so many heart warming and heart breaking stories when it comes to the lives of army wives. And you feel for the people involved with the store lines. You wish you could be there to hold there hand and feel there pain with them. Finally a show that shows the real side of what being an army wife feels like and is all about. They have a real winner here! I hope they continue to bring this wonderful show back to us :)
