5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Fantastic Series with Accurate 1940s Detail, July 13, 2006

This review is from: Homefront (DVD)

I have vivid memories of this TV show about life in a small American town, post-World War II that aired on ABC from 1991-1993.
I found myself humming Homefront's theme song, "Accentuate the Positive" the other day & had to look it up to see if it had been released yet on DVD. Unfortunately, it hasn't. Woe to Warner Bros. who has not yet released Homefront's two seasons on DVD; I'm sure they are losing money to people who aren't waiting for the release of the official version.
I still recall the dance competition featured in the first season & the screwball romantic comedy of Jeff & Ginger's relationship. The period-appropriate music, clothing, & dialogue were fun for a kid who didn't grow up in the 1940s to take in. There was a strong ensemble of supporting characters in the Metcalf, Sloan, & Davis families & many admirers of Homefront still place its actors by their work on this show. Homefront has a strong fan base thirteen+ years after the show was cancelled, which says something about its appeal. Voters overwhelmingly agree on the JumptheShark website that this was one series that never made the jump into creative decline or ridiculousness.
This was a star-making hit for Kyle Chandler who later starred in the TV series Early Edition & can be seen this fall as a coach in the football TV series "Friday Night Lights".
If you want to show Warner Bros. what kind of fan base Homefront still has, look for the petition on the HomefrontOnDVD website, where there are production stills, clips, & news articles about this series. After registering, fans can also vote on TVShowsonDVD for their favorite TV series to be released on DVD.
It's a shame that all the seasons of Friends, Charlie's Angels & Dallas are on DVD, but nostalgic 1980s & 1990s TV shows like Homefront, China Beach, & Scarecrow & Mrs. King are overlooked with no announcement of a DVD release date in sight. When there's nothing of interest playing in the theaters, Homefront would be a perfect series to curl up at home & watch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't wait for the DVD!, July 10, 2006

I remember this show very fondly. I couldn't wait for it to air every week. The cast was fantastic, and I loved the period in which the series was set. I just hope this isn't a tease....like the YEARS I've been waiting for them to release the entire Twin Peaks series. Release this show on DVD!

5.0 out of 5 stars Step it up Warner Brothers!, April 13, 2007

This review is from: Homefront (DVD)

This is one of the few, perhaps the only, series to truly deal with day to day life after the soldiers came home from WWII. The home spun characters, the story lines, and the settings all make for a super memorable series, that certainly deserves DVD status. Who can forget Mama Metcalf's with her "mental reservations" when faced with a ethical dilemma and the episodes leading up to the union formation in the factory? DVD, please!!!
