American Dreams

[angelic1]

By far the best show on tv.. (in my opinion).. its actually a quality show.. which is hard to find now on tv...

I was sad to see tonight that next week is going to be the season finale.. is anyone else hooked on this show like I am??

there are so many storylines going all at once on so many social and cultural issues..

I used to watch it more often last season, and I haven't been keeping up so much ever since JJ went off to fight in the war.

Saw the previews for tonight's episode, and it should be intense.

Plus, that JJ is a damn hottie.

i catch it on occasion... when I remember that it's on.

I enjoy it when I do watch it though. Especially when they bring in current pop stars to play the parts of bandstand stars. Always fun.

I am SO hooked!!! It's second only to ER to me!!

I'm so glad that Beth is keeping the baby - and of course, I'd like to see her & JJ back together again. Was it me, or did Meg look MUCH better than she's been looking lately tonight? Like her colors really looked good on her.

i've been hooked since the first episode!

i hate that after next week, i'll have to wait for a few months to see it again.

I thought I was the only one who liked this show. It's a nice way to come down off the highs of Alias. My only complaint is that the show is becoming SO predictable lately.. like for instance (SPOILER ALERT)







I saw that Nathan was going to be getting a draft notice coming a MILE away. I also saw it in Perez's eyes that he was going to kill that new corporal, and that eventually it would end up being some big cliff-hanger while we wondered whether he would kill J.J.

I saw the budding relationship between Meg and Sam coming ever since Nathan came back and joined the Nation of Islam. It'll be interesting to see how that plays out, especially since -- for a (welcome) change the interracial relationship is played out against a Northern backdrop, rather than in the South.

I saw it last night too. It's kind of nice to know that Jack's softening up a little. I wonder if Beth would tell JJ about her pregnancy? Maybe that'll get them back together (fingers crossed!!!!!)? I'm also wondering what'll happen with Beth and school. I'm assuming that her parents were paying for her education. I guess it's not going to happen now that she's been disowned (and not to mention that an unmarried pregnant woman running around campus would have been seen as bad at the time). One more episode to go...for now. It's going to be a long summer.

For some reason I thought they were cancelling this show?

[Taualumna]

Nope. There's at least one more season!!! Next year'll be a full season, with 22 episodes rather than 19 like this year.

spoiler.. sort of..

My mom said that she saw Beth on I think the today show or something the other day. She was talking about being on the show and how she was on the cover of a bridal magazine..

then she mentioned how her friends called her after seeing the cover asking if she was getting married.. but she said that it was bc her character on tv was.. so I guess that means they are going to end up getting married soon??? I dont know though since last week is the last episode of the season.. maybe she will tell him about the baby..

i thought it was great how the pryor acted towards beth and the baby.. its there only connection right now to JJ..

I have to agree as well that he is a real hottie.. enough reason to watch the show

Love American Dreams. So sorry to see that the season is ending so early. So much of what is happening either was on my TV, happened in our family, is really a part of my growing up. Hope that the show continues. Not only are the story lines great, but so is the music!

I love this show, too!

The rest of my family and friends hate it, but they know better than to bug me on Sunday nights at 8 PM

JJ... mmmhmm

Ditto on that I also think Jimmy Riley's a hottie too

[jess_pom]

I missed last night's episode! What happened?

[angelic1]

Maybe someone can add more details.. but here is the main things I remember (I wash shaving my brothers head while watching.. what our big sisters for)..

JJ took over command of his platoon as they were heading back to where their staff sargeant was. They needed more help and were running out of ammo. Since they were under so much fire, JJ gave Perez his gun back. He ended up shooting a VC to save him from attack. Later needing a way out he risked his life running into a tunnel to see if there were VCs in there. When it ended they were still under heavy fire.

The Pryors were under a lot of pressure from the church to lie about Beth being married to JJ. They talked to Beth about it at first thinking it was a good idea with people talking and Jack running for office. The Pryors invited Beth's parents over so that they could talk, but her parents were still unsupportive. The Pryors were also hosting a coffee at their house the preacher got up to talk about the family saying that Beth was married to JJ and having their kid. Jack ended up telling the truth.

Meg went to a protest with Sam at Penn. When police were coming instead of leaving they stayed. They ended up being arrested at the end.

Also Helen sees the guy she works with with his boyfriend.
