It was way ahead of its time! I cannot think of the last time tv viewing included so compelling and riveting a character as Lucas Buck in recent memory...Wow!<BR/><BR/>I just have two questions:<BR/><BR/>In a world where realty tv is king, how did we go from the artistry of American Gothic to the flat out crass and embarrassing viewing of reality television?<BR/><BR/>Second, is there ever a chance of the series being rekindled?<BR/><BR/>I suppose the trend of television must be signaling the "end times"...JudiranAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-1149994668477679872006-06-10T22:57:00.000-04:002006-06-10T22:57:00.000-04:00An interesting review of the episode.

An incredibly talented actor, Cole was excellent and I mourned the cancellation of the series which I recognized upon first viewing as adult, fascinating and incredibly well acted/produced. Naturally, it couldn't last long on American network television.<BR/><BR/>Thankfully, I now own on DVD The Complete American Gothic. How I wish it could have lasted longer.DawnofAquariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187998492135191683noreply@blogger.com
