Picket Fences Audience Reviews

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Lawbolisted Powerful
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
jpyrrho Picket Fences was a excellent TV show. It brings out polemical issues on a day-to-day life in that little town called Rome. It makes us think, and think a lot. Religion, sexuality, abortion, drugs, poverty and other aspects were carefully written in there. Sometimes I watch an episode, in 2013, and find it extremely polemical and I just imagine how would that cause back in 1992. Crimes are brought up just as much, and the characters have their stories and evolve beautifully. I just find it terrific.Unfortunately, only the first season has been released in DVD, I truly don't get why the other's haven't. The Brock family looks so real in there, which makes it even greater. It is definitely worth-watching and I wish it became more popular in this new generation (me included)! I made two of my friends watch it, and they do not regret it.
ashcrda I watched this show during its original run and have always looked for it on DVD. As another commenter noted, there's a lot of schlock out there on DVD while this excellent show languishes in the digital files. My favorite actor was Fyvish Finkel; mostly because I read that he had been acting since the days of Yiddish theater in NYC. How's that for tradition? He reminded me of many of the central Europeans I got to know when I lived in Cleveland,Ohio. I was also much taken by Tom Skerrit and have watched for him ever since this show ended. I loved the issues raised by the show because they were real ones that nobody wants to address; nothing is black and white, one or the other in human life. The show had the integrity to say that. In this current time of right wing/left wing, nothing in the center, Picket Fences reruns are soothing and reassuring.
dennlarr The TV series "Picket Fences" continues to rank as one of my best-liked TV shows, and from some of the other reviewer comments I've read, it is also a favorite with many, many others. So I am disappointed that 10 years after its cancellation, "Picket Fences" seasons are not yet available on DVD. Other David E. Kelley series are also not available on DVD (e.g., "L.A. Law", "Chicago Hope", "The Practice", "Ally McBeal", and "Boston Public"), so I'm convinced that the issue with the non-release of "Picket Fences" is not so much a studio problem as it is a Kelley problem.To whomever can influence the DVD release of ALL episodes/seasons of "Picket Fences": Please -- PLEASE -- stop the disputes and let the public once again enjoy this terrific drama. For the rest of us, keep sending in the positive reviewer comments, lobbying the studios, and getting others to support the drive. Let's continue to be as patient as we can. (Hey, Michelle Pfeiffer, can you please have a talk with your husband about this?! Thank you.)
djcwaters Visit tvshowsondvd.com and vote for Picket Fences to be released on DVD. I just discovered this site, and it's awesome. You vote, and they let the studios know that there are THOUSANDS of people interested in buying a particular show on DVD. I've read in the comments that there's a planned release for 2005--I hope so, but it can't hurt to vote anyway, and the web site has hundreds of other shows that you're sure to want to see released.I remember watching Picket Fences when it was on, and it seemed to be the prototype for all the David E. Kelley shows I fell in love with later: Ally McBeal, Boston Public, The Practice. In its zaniness and its drama, Picket Fences has no peer.
