kotsw85 Look up the word "quality" and the definition is "American Family".The Gonzalez clan happen to be Latino, but they could be any family in America. Edward James Almos and Sonia Braga are truly brilliant as Jess and Berta Gonzalez [sadly, as is with most quality televison, both were passed over for much deserved Emmy nominations].American Family" is lovingly written with heart, humor and intimacy. If you didn't catch it on PBS, try and find it on video....it's well worth the effort!
anyah_m I've always loved Esai Morales and Mr. Almos. I'd never seen them together until now. What a wonderfully complex family. Thank you for creating a show about real Latinos, happy and successful people with real issues. Seeing brown people on tv and film always behind bars or causing trouble gets old really fast. I will watch this show faithfully!
Mercy Bell (mercybell) What a beautiful series. Gregory Nava is a genius, and PBSshould be given an award for taking it on. It blends a culturallytraditional undercurrent with a modern and hip style, and utilizesinteresting filming techniques that wraps you into the story. Thisseries is vibrant with culture, color, and life, and can sometimesbe staggeringly emotional.Heartfelt, eccentric, and sometimes rib crackingly funny, "AmericanFamily" brings a very misunderstood side of American life to thelimelight and paints an intriguingly entertaining representation of adysfunctional yet incredibly loving family.... and does it brilliantly.
Coqui1219 Wonderful thought provoking show. The Mexican-American family shown in a true and honest way. Story lines that remind one of family and how important they are in our lives. Great to see a Latino Cast in a wonderful ensemble show.
