"American Dreams" was truly unique to be airing in the first half of the twenty first century, especially since the story lines match the early 1960s. It was a time of a more innocent America when fresh faced families like the Pryor's were struggling to find their own happiness in a world of racism, wars in southeast Asia, and British rock n roll. I was sad and disappointed to see NBC cancel a program such as this that exemplified excellent writing, acting and production value. Let's be honest, did not every kid between 14-18 years of age want to be on "Bandstand?" After buying the first season, I need to see the others released to complete my collection. If you haven't seen "American Dreams", I highly recommend it for anyone who lived through the '60s or wanted to be a part of it. I wanted to be a part... I was born in the wrong decade.
