shargApr 20, 2007october road is the best new show!

MatthewMar 17, 2007Completely unbelievable characters and dialogue. Tries to be endearing but comes off as annoying.
-
-
AllisonWMar 20, 2007This show was so good I love everything about it from the acting to the music it all just works for the show. And Nick will u marry me

sfMar 30, 2007Awful. Sloppy plot. Undeveloped characters. The old "friends" all run together. Predictable and lackluster.

mercye.Oct 10, 2007love October road- this was one of my favorite mid season shows! love the actors- and the love stories! it's like a good book that i hated to put down. can't wait to see it on the air again!

AngelaB.Nov 3, 2007I love October Road and couldn't believe it wasn't brought back. I want to know the rest of their stories. The critics don't know everything. ABC needs to bring it back.

AngieG.Dec 5, 2007I love the show. I was ticked when I found out that October Road was not coming back. I could not believe the first show that I had enjoyed watching in quite some time was not returning. I don't care to see another reality show or one more crazy murder show. I cant wait for more! love the Mushy stuff! I enjoy sitting down wrapping up in a blanket and going to Knights Ridge for more.

JeffNMar 15, 2007The music is from the wrong decade, the dialog doesn't work. It's like the town had all taken trained with the Verbal Advantage. A pretensious writer and photographer got together with a cluless producer and was directed by someone with no sense of time or a grasp on reality. It's a failed attempt at the series for eveyone from 6 to 60.

KateMar 19, 2007This was a great show. People who say it was bad are just being cynical and critical. Whatever happened with good old love stories unfolding and not being judgmental about them. This show makes you want to see more!
-
-
sarawMar 24, 2007Conventional, boring and predictable. A complete waste of time. Complete lack of originality.

JackieHApr 19, 2007I DON'T agree with the critics! I absolutely love this show. I watch it each week, and hopefully will be able to watch it in the Fall.
-
-
TammyLApr 22, 2007I enjoy watching the characters renew their friendships. Yes, the show is basically unbelievable but isn't that why you watch tv to escape reality.

cheriekApr 25, 2007I enjoy the show and hope its renewed

ericauApr 3, 2007great show!

KVApr 30, 2007I really like this show. Finally, something even my husband will watch with me! It's nice to see something that isn't gory and full of violence that I can't let my kids see. And I like the music, too.

LaurenBApr 5, 2007I can honestly say that this is one of my favorite shows of all time (four episodes in). The purpose of TV is to take your mind off reality. It doesn't need to be believeable or realistic, just entertaining. Great cast, good looking cast, and wonderful story line. I love it!

stepahnieeMay 14, 2007i actually enjoy it

JacobMay 14, 2007I don't understand how the critics don't like the show. I really do think it's the best new show we've been thrust upon. Kind of expected it to be much higher. In the green. ...Huh. Well anyway, I really like it.
-
-
angelicag.Jul 8, 2007I really love this show!! i cant wait till its back on. the story line has a lot of real life issue's and the actors are great i hope hope i dont miss any episodes. its the only show thats worth staying up past 10pm to see..

-
NicoleG.Sep 12, 2007Why must it come out midseason???? Love This Show!!!!!
-
-
TerrieT.Sep 6, 2007Wondering when it will start up again, It's one of the best shows on. All actors are rated a10 in my book.
-
-
KayJ.Feb 12, 2008One of the best shows on TV! Hope it stays on for awhile
-

AlexAMar 10, 2008Some critics are right, This is a almost a chick show only that it is for guys,... Regardles of what they say, I must admit this has been one of the best show I have seen...Call me crazy but I'm sure there are more guys out there like myself that some how in one way or another can relate to what goes on in the TV show..... I like it...
-
-
PamelaC.Apr 18, 2008I absolutely love October Road. Sometimes I think the critics are half-asleep when they write this stuff. I suppose once your mind has been constantly stuffed with forensics, back-stabbing housewives, over-dramatic doctors (did I leave anything out) ... you don't know a good thing when you see it.
-
-
MichelleJ.Apr 18, 2008I don't know what show the critics have viewed, I completely disagree with them. This show is a joy. It is entertaining and fun and it is a wonderful change from the copy cat shows that are flooding the air waves. LOVE IT!

juleek.Nov 13, 2007This tv show is terrible. Such bad writing. Incredibly cliche, mushy, predictable, mediocre . It is truly unwatchable.

MyrnaR.Oct 17, 2007Love it, very heartwarming, a change from all the crime series. Hope it comes back for another season.

MatthewS.Nov 8, 2007I beleive that this series is well written and wonderfully casted, the sound track is right on.

GregMMar 16, 2007I liked it a lot. Interesting characters and the story is kind of intriguing - wonder what happens next.
-
-
BarbaraBMar 16, 2007Loved it! Enjoyed seeing the characters "then" & "now" as welll as the lovely scenery of the town. Plot holes where main character "disappears" for 10 years, but is only in NYC; also doesn't hear about pregnancy of HS sweetheart, even though he was having sex with her. COME ON!! The rest is fun and enjoyable, esp. the sound track!

PhilipBMar 16, 2007A good beginning for what promises to be a good show that will keep my interest as it progresses & the characters develop. I'm looking forward to the next episode.

FrediaBMar 16, 2007Great show loved the story line loved the characters especially the little boy who plays Sam.. Slade Pearce great little actor.

[Anonymous]Mar 16, 2007Pilot was pathetically predictable and loaded with cliche after cliche. dialogue was awful. The only thing this show has going for it is its shot in town with pretty homes.

RobUApr 26, 2007The insipid "air guitar practice" bit ALONE should have kept this show from ever being aired. Hackneyed in every way, this show is an insult to anyone who's ever actually labored to write something worthwhile. It's toxic, everybody involved should be embarrassed.
-
-
krisbApr 26, 2007please bring this show back! it has great potential. abc didn't even give it a fair chance on succeeding. this show has real story lines, unlike most shows now a days. please don't make a mistake by getting rid of it. =((((((((((

mistihApr 30, 2007i gave up ER to watch this show, it really is that great, and i hated that it has already ended for the season. i loved bryan greenberg on One Tree Hill and love him even more now. i am looking forward to the new season and hope that October Road comes back!!!!!!!

StellaApr 4, 2007Cringe-worthy dialogue, unlikable main character, predictable, cheesy and asinine storylines. And it's all been done before.

DeannaJMar 11, 2008I think the critics think everyone wants reality.(Crictics get it wrong most of the time any way) We get reality everyday, I want a fun show that makes me laugh, with simple storyline. The people watching this show are sick of reality and over done drama. What's wrong with a little dose of over done fiction? I Love October Road!
-
-
DanielleMar 24, 2008October Road has its problems, but at its core is a story worth visiting week after week. Critics forget that no show comes perfectly wrapped. Remember how Seinfeld began? I enjoy visiting Knights Ridge and checking some nostalgic tunes and great characters. I hope it gets picked by CW if ABC drops it.

MariaG.Apr 18, 2008This is an amazing show. Much better than all the blood and violence that is on.
-
-
JaneZ.Apr 18, 2008I have to say that this is the first show in a long time that I really love. Enough so that I've gotten involved in the campaign to save this show. Something I've never done ever in the past. So much for critics, really people like me love this show.

AliWApr 19, 2008October Road is such a great show! Far more realistic than Desperate Housewives or Grey's anatomy. Don't tell me about towns of beautiful people. October Road is fresh and a lot more realistic than all the other horse puckey out there. Please ABC, renew October Road!
-
-
CarolApr 8, 2008I love this show! The characters, the storylines - they're great. I look forward to my weekly visit to The Ridge. Hope it gets renewed!!

DitaTMar 31, 2007High school boy from happy town has sex with girl who loves him. He goes to Europe and becomes famous write. Writes extremely successful best selling book: TURTLE ON A SNARE DRUM. Readers must have bought it for the title. If the fake novel is half as good as the writing for this television fiasco, then you will find many copies of the book in the remainder bin at Books "R" Us.

LisaHMay 13, 2007OR has grown and improved with every episode and is now the family favorite over "Grey's" (which is getting too dark). OR has some character in its ensemble that everyone can identify with, great music and reminds us of growing up. Nick-names and air guitar -- oh yeah, been there. Eddie/Janet is the real reason to watch. Hope it's renewed.
