    Great new show! Being a Gen-Xer myself, I was immediatley smitten when the first image was of the late great Cobain. And when the opening flashback scene faded with Boston's "Dont Look Back" just days after the untimely death of legandary lead singer Brad Delp, I couldnt help but think that the next hour would be truely something special. Add a little Three Dog Night and REO Speed Great new show! Being a Gen-Xer myself, I was immediatley smitten when the first image was of the late great Cobain.

Add a little Three Dog Night and REO Speed Wagon to the mix, and what you have is a musical, magical, well written trip down memory lane. Great cast! Great soundtrack! The way I see it, October Road is in diapers!!!… Expand

    Not as bad as they say it is, although it is almost a complete knock off of men in trees, it's still good.

    The 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.

    Achingly sincere, deeply unbelievable.

    [It] feels like a Hallmark movie stretched into series form.

    Alternately engaging and annoying.
