Product Description

From Amazon.com

Rick (Billy Campbell) and Lily (Sela Ward) are fortysomething parents with two kids; both are still feeling the repercussions of their failed first marriages; both are haplessly single and consumed by their family identities (plus, let's just face it, both are gorgeous beyond belief). Dropping off their respective kids at school in their respective SUVs, they spy each other across a crowded driveway. Granted, it's not terribly romantic, but sparks fly and tentatively, embarrassingly, like teenagers, they embark on a first date--awkward conversation and fumbling make-out sessions in cars included. So begins the acclaimed TV series Once and Again from producers Edward Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz, the guys who brought you über-sensitive dramas thirtysomething and My So-Called Life. And like those award-winning shows, Once and Again mines the mundane and ordinary to find extraordinary drama, tackling both midlife crisis and teen angst, as Rick and Lily's kids (most notably heartthrob Shane West and blooming wallflower Julia Whelan) navigate the perils of high school while their parents traverse the mine field of adult romance, with ex-spouses and disapproving family members lurking in the shadows.

The first season takes Rick and Lily from first date alone to first date en famille, in which their respective broods finally meet and confront the fact that their parents--gasp!--like each other. Along the way, there's amazing writing, pitch-perfect direction that takes scenes from comedy to drama in seamless swoops, and a tight-knit ensemble that hits all the right notes. Ward won an Emmy for this first season as the anxiety-ridden Lily, but she's equally matched by the quietly stunning Campbell, and their interaction is touching, funny, sexy, and heartbreaking--everything you could want in a romance, and more. --Mark Englehart

Video Details

Starring Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winning Sela Ward and Golden Globe nominee Billy Campbell, Once And Again explored brave new territory with the compelling story of two families blending at the seams. The second marriage of Lily Manning (Ward) to Rick Sammler (Campbell) pushes both to the limit as they try for domestic normalcy while navigating divorce, parenting, financial hardship and many other life lessons.

From the creators of thirtysomething and My So-Called Life comes the complete first season DVD Collection. Enjoy all the moving moments and memorable performances of a brilliant supporting cast, including Shane West (A Walk To Remember) and Evan Rachel Wood (Practical Magic) once and again.

GREAT show! Sep 16 2003

Format:DVD
I'm one of those who missed it when it was aired on television, but fell in love with it while watching the reruns on late night Lifetime channel. I just had to purchase this DVD set. I even got my war-movie loving husband hooked!

Sela Ward shines...and the stories are so true-to-life! Such amazing writing! I cannot understand why this show failed after only 3 short seasons.

I only have one question...WHEN ARE THE 2nd & 3rd SEASONS GOING TO BE AVAILABLE???!!! I can't wait!

LOVE this show! Want the entire series on DVD! Jun 29 2004

This is a most wonderful series for all ages. It appeals to adults as well as teens. My sons and I watched every episode and we miss the series but we watch the Season One DVD together. We hope they release the remainder of the seasons soon. Anyway....If you haven't seen this series, it is great. It deals with real life problems and has real life characters. Not one character is "perfect" and they all deal with their flaws as best as possible or remain in denial. There were so many issues I could personally connect to. This was a great series that got cancelled way WAY too soon. Guess we will just have to view the 3 seasons over and over and over again....Once and Again. Sigh...Once and Again...we miss you like an old friend taken from us in your prime!
