American Family

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!

What a beautiful series. Gregory Nava is a genius, and PBS

should be given an award for taking it on. It blends a culturally

traditional undercurrent with a modern and hip style, and utilizes

interesting filming techniques that wraps you into the story. This

series is vibrant with culture, color, and life, and can sometimes

be staggeringly emotional.

Heartfelt, eccentric, and sometimes rib crackingly funny, "American

Family" brings a very misunderstood side of American life to the

limelight and paints an intriguingly entertaining representation of a

dysfunctional yet incredibly loving family.... and does it brilliantly.

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!

I came across this show because of Edward James Olmos. And although I'm not Latino, I still find the show has many aspects that many people will find hit home. Each character in the show brings something from the different points of view in life. I'll admit I mostly lean toward Olmos' character and what he goes through to what he feels is right for the family. After all, it's not easy being a father (or admittingly a mother either). It was also saddening to see Conrado die doing what he felt was right and trying to make a difference. I think most people who see this can relate to at least one character in this show, and I hope PBS will be able to keep it going.

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.
