About this product

Product Information

An American family adjusts to social change in this two-time Emmy winning series. Amidst a backdrop of American Bandstand, 1960s era pop music, and other cultural icons, the characters in this story grapple with many issues of the day, including the death of a president, Civil Rights, and women's emancipation. Still somewhat entrenched in the straightlaced ideas of the 1950s, each family member is challenged as old ideas are replaced by new. This first season in the series that follows the Pryor family (Brittany Snow) whose squeaky-clean image is questioned when she becomes an American Bandstand. Her mother, Helen (Gail O'Grady), has recently gone back to school and learns the true price of trying to have it all. Husband Jack (Tom Verica) is considering a career as a politician amidst great controversy and turbulence. Football star JJ (Will Estes) is a high school football star wrapped up in romantic troubles. This season is punctuated by performers Usher (as a young Marvin Gaye), Ashanti (as Dionne Warwick), and Vanessa Carlton (as Dusty Springfield). Hey, even Robby Benson makes an interesting comeback here, as Helen's Professor.

    Nostalgic !!!

    For sure - "My Generation" --- growing up as a kid in the sixties, this series brought back a lot of memories, what a great concept on Dick Clark's idea and well done , especially the camera angle showing the camera view in B/W facing the stage that is in color (live) out of focus -Fantastic , and having the songs of yesterday performed by today's artist's. Handling the sensitive subjects of the time with a great ensemble of actors is very engaging , and the opening song with images of what was going on in this era was sheer Perfection !- especially love the (NBC) Peacock in B/W closing up it's feathers and opening back up in color - WOW ! - I so remember that ... Highly recommend this DVD set , if one is born later , it would be an educational view for what your parents may have ...

  • American Dreams

    This is my favorite show ever. I remember when my sister was watching it while it was on TV. She would stop everything she was doing Sunday night to watch it. She wanted me to get into it, but I would have been coming in on the 2nd season and would need to catch up. I would watch it later. I DID watch it starting a year and 1/2 ago. I LOVED it and was able to discuss it with my sister finally. Unfortunately, the 2nd and 3rd seasons never came out on DVD and I was left hanging. My sister tried desperately to find them for me for Christmas that year, but was unable to. My sister passed away right after Christmas. I continued my search for the show. Amber would have appreciated that. After about 9 months, I finally found someone online that had the episodes burned onto DVDs ...

  • If they could have only gotten the history right...

    "American Dreams" is a period drama set in 1963-64 Philadelphia, and chronicles the lives of the Pryors, an Irish Catholic working-class family. While the initial focus is on the Pryors' eldest daughter Meg and her desire to dance on American Bandstand, the show eventually follows the lives of the Pryors and their friends and associates, as they all travel through the turbulent period of the mid-1960's. "American Dreams" ran for three seasons on Sunday nights on NBC, and this first DVD chronicles the show's first season, running from a time period of November 1963 (just before the assassination fo John F. Kennedy) to June 1964 (the Philadelphia race riots). While the show does try to achieve a sense of reality with references to pop culture icons and mnemonics of the time, and tries to ...

  • TV shows like this arent around anymore...

    It's a shame that this show was cancelled and an even bigger shame that the 2nd and 3rd season arent available to buy! This is about the only show i like that i am willing to sit down with my daughter and watch and not be totally bored out of my mind. This is definitly a family program, and a great perspective of the times back then. I was thrilled when i recieved this season in the mail. I put an episode on right away for myself and my daughter and we both loved it. The actors do a great job on this, very beliveable, and the tension between the races is evident. The struggle with a political evolution is also greatly evident. I love this show. I need the 2nd and 3rd season to add to my collection :)

  • The best show I have ever saw on NBC..missed by many

    This is one of the best shows that was ever on tv..I loved it..my mom and aunt grew up when bandstand was on tv and my mom wanted me to watch the 1st season with her when she got it, I didn't think I would care for it but it turned out I loved it! It is def. one of my all time favorite shows and I sure wish they wouldn't have taken it off tv, it is very educational, teaches good morals, and teaches how a marriage has its ups and downs but is meant to be worked on, too many of us today don't do tjat anymore. This was the good old days!
