Show Summary

  • Ended
Everwood tells the story of a widower, Dr Andy Brown, who leaves his successful job as a top Manhattan neurosurgeon to live in a small Colorado town, bringing his 9-year-old daughter Delia and 15-year-old son Ephram with him. He chooses the town of Everwood because his late wife had told him of her emotional attachment to it. Many of the story lines deal with the conflicts of adjusting to a new setting, as well as getting along with new people. Dr. Brown, simply called Andy most of the time, at first finds some animosity towards Dr. Harold Abbott, with whom his professional opinions differ. However, Dr. Abbott's cranky demeanor and Andy's passive, cheerful attitude prove to mesh well and the two begin a friendly rivalry. Ephram continually struggles with his emerging adolescence, his studies as a classical pianist, and his crush on Amy Abbott, Dr. Abbott's daughter. As the series progresses, so do the love stories. Amy and Ephram become a couple in Season 3 but experience problems along the way. Meanwhile, sparks fly between Andy and his neighbour, Nina. From executive producers Greg Berlanti, Mickey Liddell and Rina Mimoun. Produced by Berlanti/Liddell Productions, Everwood Utah, Inc. in association with and distributed by Warner Bros. Television Productions Inc.moreless

  • Comic-Con 2010: No Ordinary Family

    Hey, they premiered the entire first episode! And it’s good. Certainly not groundbreaking—it is, after all, a lot like The Incredibles—but definitely entertaining. read more

  • Heroes creator goes back to drawing board

    Let's face it: Heroes needs some fixin'. Ratings are plummeting, critics are tearing it a new one, and Mohinder may have the wackiest story in the history of history. So how does one duct-tape up this mess? Add a hunk… read more

    (re-posting since my old account access became lost)

    This was a really good show. In my previous review I indicated all that need to be said. Upon reconsideration I found 2 main flaws.

    First, Linda Abbott. The whole plot around her was weak. Her background was weak. Her character was weak. She was merely spliced into the show and just as quickly taken away without any indication. The impetuous direction for her to run away during an episode and coincidentally meeting Dr. Brown at the train station is far fetched and barely plausible for an acceptable parting. There was no emotion, no sense of "character loss".

    Second, the Madison fiasco escalation in S3E17 was absolutely unnecessary. It stood as a major impetus for creating a fourth season, but overall merely stood to classically destroy the joyful moment in the lives of everyone in contact with Ephram. There wasn't even the slightest delay in time of happiness before everything was ripped away and a false sense of hope and guilt-ridden joy overtook the minds of everyone around the young protagonist. Though it did stand to set a new extreme for Ephram's raging defunct mannerisms. It attempted to highlight personalities he shared with his father but overall created a sense of false disdain and scorn in 1 person, changing essentially the whole dynamic of the Brown family. Things worked out in the very end, especially the final episode, but the audience never had a chance to enjoy and live the final stability that settled into the air over a quick 4-5 episodes that had its own jagged story line.

    Great show, but it had some major flaws trumping even soap opera scandals. In the end, aside form all the abrupt stories plaguing its final season just like many shows before it, Everwood was a good watch. In a grand sense, it revels the microcosm of a small life that each of us have at some level.moreless

  • A wonderful decent show. WHY IS IT OVER??!!

    9.4
    "Superb"
    "Everwood" is the kind of show that's different than so many other. It's the kind of show you'd want to watch if you want to be emotionally comfortable. What I like about this wonderfully decent show is that it's so real. The characters are so incredibely close and you feel connected with them and hung on that you want to know whether or not Ephram's going to end up with Amy or not.

    --"Everwood" is an absolute special. You cannot find a better drama than Everwood. Why is it over!! please bring it back! It's awesome, and I love it! Everwood is just simply...special in its own unique way.moreless
  • Very good family show.

    9.7
    "Superb"
    What I love about Everwood is that the characters have flaws. They're not perfect, but some characters still happen to be some of the most charming characters on television.

    Everwood deals with real issues and tends to show every side. The plots can be controversial at times, and never sugar coated. Each episode has the ability to bring you to tears.

    This show is an extremely underrated, quiet show, and if you're not watching you're missing out on a touching story with great acting and a whole lot of heart.

    Everwood will always have a place in my heart for being one of my favorite family shows ever. I say this not based on the story-lines themselves.moreless
  • What can i say. I'm still depressed the cw cancelled it.

    "Perfect"
    Theres really so much to say about this series. It's A Classic. The Relationship between Amy & Ephrem, The Dynamic between Dr. Andy Brown and Dr. Harold Abbot. The great Edna and Irv. It's one of the few shows the whole family can sit down and enjoy. It's so hard to write a review when there is so much quality stuff to write about it. This show ended way to soon especially with some of the garbage the cw still airs. This show had a chance to be here a long time and it ended far too soon. It's a shame. What a Classic.moreless
