We spend the holidays with the Rayburns in Ashmore as they have their first Chanukah. Tattie, who hates the holidays, tries to celebrate Christmas.
"State of Grace" explores the humorous and touching memories of Hannah Rayburn, a 47-year-old journalist who reminisces about her childhood with her overprotective Jewish parents and the remarkable friendship she once shared with a soulful and spirited classmate named Grace McKee. The adult Hannah… More Rayburn is the off-screen narrator (voiced by Frances McDormand) who remembers coming of age in 1965 North Carolina. Hannah embarks on a new adventure in her life when she and her family move from Illinois to North Carolina, where she is enrolled in an elite Catholic school. Hannah feels like a fish out of water until Grace, an intelligent, vivacious, and independent girl from a wealthy background enters her restricted life.
A good show..basically i just wanted to be the first to post something. :)
I love this show and was hoping to find episodes of it. I currently have 12 of the episodes and was curious if anyone had any episodes that I don't have that they would be willing to sell? Pls send me a message if you can help. Thanks much!
who sings it?? what's it called?? does anyone remember?
Oh my goodness! I remember 5 years ago when me and my older sister used to always watch this show every week it was on. I was 7 and she was 9. I remember parts of this show so well, and I've always missed it. The two girls, Hannah and Grace were always so adventurous, and Grace was always the daredevil. I loved seeing what wild thing the girls would do every week. This was my favorite tv show, and I really wish that they would play a few reruns once in a while. Just to relive it. I miss that show and I thought it was fantastic. I loved it!
Grace is a Southern WASP. Hannah a Northern Jewish transplant to north Carolina. Hannah is shy and reserved. Grace draws out her playful side and the fun begins. hide show
A great family show. Laugh one minute and cry the next. Beautifully handled tough subject matter such as the Holocaust and cancer. A must see if you attended Catholic grade school in the '60's. A TV show with shades of " Last
Catholic in America. Bring back the sweet memories of the "Sisters" who were as tough as nails,on the one hand,and as
compassionate as your mother on the other.Once again you
long for yesteryear ,of the time when you were 12 years old.
To remember what it was like to be young...to be daring,yet
afraid.That extra sparkle in your eye will return as you are catapulted to your childhood again.
Was it just because I am Jewish or was this show soooo well done? I miss it. hide show
I loved it. I watched every episode. Heck, I taped every episode and watched them over and over again. It was so realistic. I have Jewish parents and they are exactly the same as Hannah’s. It was The Wonder Years meets Seinfeld meets a much funnier and better version of Lizzie McGuire. I just wish it had continued. I guess it never found its fan base; I don’t know if it was ahead of its time or if people thought it had already been done. Either way, this was one of those classic shows. The perfect blend of comedy, nostalgia, and a whole other myriad of emotions and genres. The kind that can make you laugh, make you cry, and make you re-evaluate how you look at your life. All in 30 minutes! You just don’t find that in every show and it should have kept going. The actors/actresses were hilarious and perfectly cast in their parts. I think this show was the epitome of what television should be: something that made you feel good about watching. To Hannah and Grace: We hardly knew ye.
bring it back for good ness sake! hide show
bring it back for goodness sake! this was a great show! I'd come home from school every day and wacth it! it was sooo funny! I cannot believe they canceled it! one day they just stopped showing it and I got really mad! this show had a great cast, perfect storyline, and memorable characters! no power in the verse can stop my love for this amazing, canceled show!! I really hope they put it on DVD soon! ANYTIME!! A S A P! I'm sure every girl would it, if only it could be preserved for future genrations. Send ABC Family letters!
I really loved this show. The cast and everything in it was soooooo good! I wish they would keep the good stuff on:(. hide show
Just like Life As We Know It, Reunion, Everwood, Arrested Development(with Alia Shawkat!!!) and countless others, shows that are truly inspiring are being cut. The producers see a bad show and just because it mayb seem like people love it, they keep it while shows that actually impact us are cut! I think as soon as shows get started they cut them out so shows with no point like Dancing with the Stars and other copies of the show are brought on. Now things are doing down hill and shows are being redone and they probably wish they kept the underdog show on the air. Oh well! So is life.
