Review of Grapevine

Grapevine (1992)
10/10
One of my All-Time favourite shows
7 August 2006
I loved this show even though it was booted after only six episodes. It was far too edgy for TV and years ahead of Sex and the City. It was funny, witty, and about real relationship issues. Like the Twilight Zone of years ago, they cast unknown actors: many of whom went on to fame like Dean Cain, Paula Marshall and Brenda Strong. Topics included infidelity, professors having affairs with grad students, interfering mothers, pet conflicts, bedroom toys, and weight issues but always presented with a very funny angle. The show continually broke the forth wall with rapid fire comments to the camera from the cast, their family and supporting characters. It was great! It's the only show I know that was brought back for a second chance ten years later, but the writing wasn't too good and it died even more quickly the second time.
