If you love this show as much as I do, send an email. See below.
- "American Dreams," Wednesdays at 8 on WHDH (Ch. 7). NBC's "American Dreams" deserves a reprieve and a fourth season because there is no other show like it on the air.
Sure, the stunt casting (Paris Hilton as Barbara Eden!) is delicious. And who doesn't love seeing Third Eye Blind as the Kinks or Usher as Marvin Gaye.
Practically every singer on the Top 40 and every "American Idol" winner has stopped by "American Dreams" to impersonate a musical counterpart from yesteryear.
Set against the backdrop of "American Bandstand" and the tumultuous '60s, the show is a throwback to another television era - a time when there were quality one-hour dramas that could entertain the entire family. This season, the Pryor family deftly tackled everything from teen romance to corrupt local politics to civil unrest.
The series may be loose with the decade's time line, blending the era's significant events conveniently into the family's lives, but TV needs a show that understands how important the results of a high school essay contest are to a daughter, and a son's struggle after returning home from the Vietnam War. This dream should live on.
