American Dreams #1 - This is our Generation!

I hope it's okay I started this. I found the DVD at Target pretty cheap and it's been awhile. Thought it would be fun to talk about the show. I checked all 50 pages and the thread guide and didn't see anything.

I can fix the OP later on if there is enough interest in the show and the thread.

For those that need a refresher, a great video of the theme song, My Generation by Emerson Hart:

Generation by Emerson Hart
"American Dreams" theme song

You're coming up like a flower
You're coming up through the cracks that live 'round here
Everybody knows we have no fear

We are the wind of change coming
We take a stand where so many never go
We will shout it out to let you know
This is my generation

We want an answer to the questions
We want to knock down all the walls they built for you
We want to know the truth not be lied to

We want to know the face of freedom
We want to make a place where we can learn to love
Build a world that we can be proud of
This is my generation

Cause we just want to dance all night
Live inside the spark of life
This might be the only time around

(Instrumental break)

Cause we just want to dance all night
Live inside the spark of life
This might be the only time around

You're coming up like a flower
You're coming up through the cracks that live 'round here
Everybody knows we have no fear
This is our generation

No worries. I'll get this thread edited into the thread guide.

So when did this air? The name is familiar but I'm drawing a blank ...

It's been a few years.

IMDB has it listed from 2002-2005. WOW! 3 years gone already. It seems longer than that.

Hmmm ... was it a drama? Comedy? I'm really drawing a blank.

Definitely a drama, mixed in with some comedy.

Basically it centered around American Bandstand with a young daughter in a family in the 60s. If you watch the video I posted, there are many clips of the show. Maybe it will help you.

Me too.

Downloaded a dvd capping trial because I wanted icons of a certain ship, so i'm just posting a few. Maybe it will help Karen.

Oh, this is not my fave ship, these are a few caps of the 2 girls on the show, best friends and they're first time being on Bandstand.









I hope the caps are alright. First time making them with this program.

I just bought this show on DVD and I love Brittany Snow. Seriously, they need to release all the seasons on DVD. Like ASAP

Hi everyone. I'm a huge fan of this show as well. There used to be an American Dreams board, but it didn't have a lot of posters, so it got shut down. I've been watching my DVDs though lately, and I miss this show so much!

Does anyone know why the second and third seasons are not being released on DVD? Or if there are plans to EVER release them??

I really want the rest of the show, I was a faithful watcher all 3 season, (plus season 3 contained Milo Ventimiglia lol).
