October Road is a powerful drama about friendship, love, and change that ended too soon--luckily, the closure that fans have craved since the series was cancelled in 2008 is finally here. Who knew it was possible to successfully wrap up all those loose ends in a mere 10-minute bonus feature? The second season of October Road opens just after Nick (Bryan Greenberg) has confessed his eternal love to Hannah Jane (Laura Prepon) and follows Owen's (Brad William Henke) desperate flight to New York in response to his wife Allison (Elizabeth Bogush)'s affair with his best friend Ikey (Evan Jones). Nick and Eddie (Geoff Stults) set off to bring Owen back to Knights Ridge, though even if they succeed, things will never be the same between Owen and Allison or between old friends Nick, Eddie, Owen, Ikey, and Physical Phil (Jay Paulson). As the season progresses, Big Cat's (Warren Christie) marriage proposal to Hannah stirs up all sorts of internal and external conflicts about everything from the long-kept secret of Sam's (Slade Pearce) father's identity to a brewing custody battle between Big Cat and his ex-wife Christine. Owen and Nick embark on an uncomfortable pilgrimage to help Owen face the details of Allison's affair and the holidays come and go, bringing with them difficult memories, varying expectations, and unexpected truths. And then there's the unlikely relationship between Eddie and Janet (Rebecca Field)--a virtual rollercoaster ride of emotion and self-doubt. The Commander's (Tom Berenger) surprise bout with bone cancer inspires introspection, reflection, an impromptu night of old-style "living" with the boys, and a new commitment to the here and now. It also demands that Nick decide whether he'll run away from his problems as he's done in the past, or stand his ground to do what he ultimately knows is right. What's crystal clear throughout the entire October Road series is that every action has far-reaching repercussions and that true friendship is both powerful and limited. While fans will likely never be truly satisfied with anything less than several more seasons of October Road, the 10-minute bonus "Road's End: the Final Chapter," created specifically for the DVD, offers the next best thing: a closing mini-episode that answers the questions: the identity of Sam's father, the fate of Nick and Hannah's intense relationship, and a look at how the whole gang is doing seven years down the road. Other bonus features include three minutes of bloopers and a six-minute behind-the-scenes guided tour of the sets. --Tami Horiuchi

Product Description

Before he left town, Nick Garrett told his high school girlfriend, Hannah Daniels, he s be back in six weeks. Now, ten years later, he has returned, and the jilted-but-never-married Hannah, has forgotten Nick s unfulfilled promise and moved on with her life. She is a single mom raising a nine-year-old son, the bright and charming Sam. Hannah is involved with Ray Big Cat Cataldo, the former high school bully, whose mission in life has previously been to bestow misery on Nick and his friends. While Nick sorts out his life, he moves into his childhood home with his father, a widower affectionately referred to as the Commander. Nick makes a new friend and potential partner in Aubrey, a pretty college student and fledgling writer, whose bohemian style intrigues him. Nick realizes he has several reasons for staying in Knights Ridge, especially making amends to those close to him. He has broken promises and portrayed them unfavorably in his successful book. Nick also sees undeniable coincidences surrounding Hannah s son, leading him to believe he might be Sam s father. Although Nick does not regret fulfilling his mother s dying wish of experiencing life outside Knights Ridge, he finds himself oddly compelled to staying in town. He realizes the road ahead is rocky, but embraces the familiarity of his former life, and is willing to confront the struggles and challenges to be included again among those he has let down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Show! March 20, 2009

By Alain R. Ptak

Format:DVD

I have been waiting for season 2 to be released and finally its coming! But the big disapointment is that it got cancelled after 2 full seasons! Not many people like this show but there is something about this show that I can relate to. Its a down to earth show and I like the actors on this show. What got me to buy season one was that the actor from One Tree Hill (Jake) starred in it and I got my attention. Since then I have gotten hooked on this show, and I only wished that it could have gone further.

I am SOOOOO excited to get this....I hear an October Road Marathon coming this weekend...will have to watch it all over again and then get to the "Truth"!! I miss this show terribly....still sad that it is gone....need a good show to watch. Had so much room to grow....

Ok I received them both and had an October Road marathon to be able to watch the 10 minute wrap up....made me miss the show more than before...watch the 10 minute wrap up and go on...watching it all over again only makes you want it back even more!!! LOL Because even tho wrap up answers the major questions it cannot take the place of the process..

5.0 out of 5 stars Good show..gone too soon~ April 11, 2009

By april k

Format:DVD

Yes! I too have been waiting FOREVER for the second season of "October Road" to come out on DVD. When I just saw it just now my heart skipped a beat...hee hee. But then it fell cause I remember that my "Road" isn't coming back anymore and that makes me sad. I really loved this show and I wanted to see them grow and find out who was the Father of little Sam and see if Nick could ever find his own way. I hate it when really good shows never get a chance to find there wings to truly take fight... This show was great and will always have a special place in my heart. It wasn't over the top and overly done like some shows nowadays..to me it was simple and well written with a great cast. Rest in peace October Road. you will be missed!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Gem of a Show!!!! May 28, 2009

By CMM

Format:DVD

I was heartbroken when ABC cancelled this show, but I was SO happy to receive my season 2 DVD. I will forever be thankful for the producers/writers of the show, along with the DVD company for putting our "wrapup" extra show on this DVD. This show can be enjoyed by both men and women and young and old alike. There is a little something for everyone when it comes to October Road. The thing I like best, along with the quirky intelligent writing, is the wonderful choice of music for each episode. If you have not seen this show, buy your season 1 and season 2 dvds....you will not be disappointed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good cast but predictable story lines December 23, 2009

By Paul Roese

Format:DVD

Just discovered the show like many when one hasn't had a TV in awhile. The cast is good and they all do journeymen work but the story is such predictable hollywood fair. it would have been much more true to life AND interesting if the Nick Garrett character had come back to indifference from his old cadre of pals and they in fact had all moved on without him. and Come on! with the old girl friend bit! jeesh! i can't imagine my old girl friends from 10 or 15 years ago pining away for me and all it would take is a brief encounter to reboot the relationship. if i thought all my past relationships were stuck in some form of stasis i'd be creeped out. people do grow up and move on.

5.0 out of 5 stars October Road - We Miss It ! July 31, 2009

By leelee

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

I was so happy to FINALLY see the 2nd season of October Road come out on DVD. It was great to see this show again. I MISS the show and was EXTREMELY disappointed when it was cancelled. I don't think it was given enough time on the air and feel ABC should have tried much harder to keep it going longer. Like so many other fans of the show we all felt a big loss, especially since it left us hanging with unfinished storylines. Season 2 did have a "very quick scene" answering the question about Sam's father. Although I was very happy to see this, I still felt cheated regarding the other stories. Watching this again was both exciting as well as frustrating because it makes me miss it even more! At least it's available to buy so we can watch it and I'm thankful for that.
A NOTE TO ABC: FANS OF THIS SHOW WANT IT TO COME BACK !!

5.0 out of 5 stars October Roads 2nd Season -------- Great Buy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! June 22, 2009

By B. Glowacki

Format:DVD

This show was terminated to soon; Season 2 had great episodes, however the extra episode to clean up the series was way to short, it should have been a lot longer and it didn't tie up all of the loose ends. Over all loved the show.
