I cannot believe how hooked I am on this show. I watched Thirtysomething and My So-Called Life but Once and Again is by far the absolute best one ever. I LOVE it and I truly will NEVER forgive ABC if they do not give this show the proper spot for success. Why oh why do they do these tease "6 episode" things for a brilliant show when they litter every other night with really lame lame stuff (Wasteland?). I truly will riot if this is not picked up as a permanent show.

What a way to escape the grueling grind of day-to-day life. This show is excellent. I watch very little TV - my entire family laughs at the fact that I go to bed at 8:30pm every night - that was until ONCE AND AGAIN. I don't require 9 hours of sleep on Tuesday's any more - I wonder why?

Once and Again is by far the best show on TV Sela Ward is a wonderful actress she will be a welcomed new addition to this year emmys for female leading ladies for drama, as well as Once and Again getting a Nod for best Drama, they have my Vote this show is great. They also have a great supporting cast, and the story possibilites are endless. Both of the Exes are so believable and I love how they both are still a big part of their childrens lives.

I absolutely LOVE this show. I am the same age group as the characters and in essntially the same situation. It is very realistic, very sexy and funny at the same time. It's nice to know that obviously others are going through the same thing in life if they created a show about it.

I think the show is great and have seen every episode so far. The characters are very realistic. ABC will be making a big mistake taking this off till January. You won't get me watching another cop show, and then when this comes back who knows if I and thousands of others will even remember to look for it. DON'T DO IT.

I think the show is getting better and better. This past eposide was really great and had some wonderful acting. I really enjoy the character of Eli, Shane West, was wonderful last night in dealing with all of this. I really think Eli and Jennifer make a great couple. Grace just leaves me confused, much like herself. Yeah I know what it's like to be her age but she is just over the top.

i think the show is very realistic, except for the fact that Rick lets his son have sex in the house with him knowing it!! my parents would never let me do that!
- Karen


I think this show Is AWESOME!!!! My favorite story is Jennifer Eli and Grace They are interesting fun to watch teens which have semi realistic stories. Like Eli and Jennifer theres the jealousy fear love it reminds me of when i was 16(not that i'd ever wanna be again) But Kimberly McCullough and Shane West are awesome. Keep up the good work

I love the show. It's easy to get drawn into the character's lives. I especially like Lilly's reactions to life, dating, and daily situations. It seems very real, in part because of her great acting. I really like when she (or he) reflects on the past, or looks at the parallels in theirs and their kids lives, and realizes or decides how or if to take the next step. That moment of realization is a powerful moment.

I watched Once and Again for the first time this week, due to the fact that I kept hearing all of these great things about it. I think it is easily the best new show of the season and on top of that-it is a must see for me from now on. The characters are real, the actors are phenon, and the storyline easily draws you in, and there's no easy fix. It's one of those shows where you can love almost everyone, you can see everyone's view point and that's a rarity. I really don't want this show to go on hiatus I'm sure I'd go through withdrawl LOL. Great tv is such a hard find.

I love this show - the best new one on. If you have ever begun "dating again" after a divorce, this is so real! I love Selma Ward - she is so natural. And the guy is a hunk - not conceited, just nice. I'm hooked - can't believe it will end this mo. till Jan. - big mistake, ABC.

HI. I watched both the first and second episode so far and immediately was struck by the raw honesty of the show's subject matter. The writers are doing a great job so far and the actors were well cast (great to see Sela Ward on the small screen again) and have terrific chemistry. Well done! Keep up the good work.

I watched Once and Again for the first time this week and thought it was very well acted and presented real life situations that you could feel with the characters. However, I was very disappointed at the conversation between father and son about when to have sex with his girlfriend. Don't get me wrong, I think parents and children should discuss sex and real life situations, but I felt the father was encouraging his son to have sex when his girlfriend was ready. I think this is misleading to young people today. I am a Christian and feel sex outside of the marriage relationship is wrong. Even if one doesn't feel that way, there are a lot of reasons to abstain, unwanted pregnancies and std's to name a few. As a mother of three sons I would gladly listen and talk to them but never encourage them to have sex outside of the marriage relationship. I felt the show was off base in doing so.

This show is great! This is what real life is about. It is hard to find a show that pertains to the middle-

The show seemed to be going in the right direction until the last 15 minutes of the second show. The nudity was un-called for and the scene could have been done without the bare butt full length backside. The show had some redeeming values expecially the father-to-son scene talking about having sex. I do not believe in premaritial sex but if it must be done for the sake of television, it was good to see father and son that can communicate. I will not watch another episode until it is cleaned up--My favorite is still 7th Heaven.

I thought that it was very well written and directed. The only thing was that I thought it was a little boring. I couldn't relate to any of the characters well, and for me to like a drama I think that's a necessity. I will keep watching it and give it another chance (mainly because Frannie will make me :-)

"We need a lot more shows like this one...even my 12 year old found it interesting...Bravo to you ABC...for having the best show of the season...I'll be glued to my set every Tues. at 10..."
- Jackie


"At first I thought: Oh, it's the same kind of thing. I recognised WG Snuffy Walden's music. It started without opening credits, like the first episode of "My So-Called Life." And there was the device of having black & white reflections by the characters, similar to the voice-overs in MS-CL.
"But by the second commercial break, I was hooked. I can't wait to find out what happens next week. They introduced a bunch of characters, we learned a lot about them AND got involved in their lives. I actually thought it was better than the pilot of MS-CL, in my humble opinion.
"I definitely hope this show succeeds ratings-wise. I can see where I will be looking forward to it every week."
- Gary


"I hope people like the series. We saw the pilot (which will be the first episode) and loved it. You can tell this show is semi-autobiographical, for at least one of these writers! The show accurately depicts what it's like when your original set of parents, separate, divorce and begin trying to date again (before you end up with another set of "parents") - from the kids' point of view, and from the parents' and their ex-spouses' points of view also. (I should know. I've been there myself.)
"If it stays this funny and fast-paced (just like the lives of single parents with kids), it just might find an audience."
- Shane West's mother
