Sat Jul 29 2006I loved Providence! I watched it every Friday night. The family wasn't perfect but they stuck together and dealt with all of their issues as a family. A good messege to give in my oppinion. I must say though that I don't know many vets that are animal rights activists.

Sun Oct 24 2004Quirky, sometimes even interesting take on how things could be. I wasn't a regular, but did take it in from time to time and enjoyed it for the most part.

Fri May 07 2004I typically don't like drama's and I can't stomach hospitals. But I grew up in Providence and I liked the intro when they showed views of the city so I figured I'd give it a shot. Well I ended up falling in love with Melina Kanakaredes and I have to admit, I kinda liked the show.

Thu Mar 25 2004The show was really good and so was the acting. the only thing that really didn't enjoy was finding out about Mike Farrels political postion which is somwhere left of Stalin....

Thu Oct 16 2003Schmaltzy, story lines became very, very weak as the show ran. At the end it was like a soap opera with silly characters and absurd scripts.

Wed Nov 27 2002This is one of the best shows on TV! The relationships in the family are believable and it is just plain good family programming!

Thu Oct 10 2002they took the great Homicide off and replaced it with this crap??!!! some of the worst, unbelievable story lines and acting in primetime. though i must admit to finding melina kanakaredes nose job mildly diverting.

Sat Nov 17 2001Providence rocks ! I can't miss any episode of this wonderful drama : great musics, excellent actors ( unusual nowadays ). Melina Kanakaredes is handsome, closed from her audience. She answered when you send her mail - even though she may not be the one who replies though, you get something -. You go Melina !

Sun Oct 21 2001You've heard of the term Click Flick. It rhymes. Now this: Chick Drama. It doesn't rhyme and this show isn't too good either.

Wed Jul 11 2001I'm 14 and have been watching this show since it started. I may not understand everything that goes on but I do know that the actors really take their parts seriously when it comes to the drama of the series.

Mon Jul 09 2001Good show originally, now bad. What a dysfunctional family. Now the Doctor has turned in to a slut by dating a married man-Gary Condit?

Mon Apr 16 2001The show is uplifting and funny. I particular like the dream scence with the deceased mother. The cast escpecially Melina Kanakaredes is fun to watch. The show is practically the only thing I watch on TV.

Thu Apr 12 2001"Providence" is a good show, but it's quickly losing it's charm and original storylines. Many ideas are now duplicates and run on a formula -- Syd meets boy, boy leaves Syd; Robbie gets into trouble; Jim saves an animal; Joanie works at bakery. The auxillary characters aren't around enough to really appreciate their talent (especially Heather). Many of the storylines are also becoming more far-fetched -- a rare African disease in Providence; regardless that she's smart and beautiful, Syd can't find a boyfriend; Jim does an impromptu operation in the basement and just happens to have the right equipment; old friends suddenly appear in the Hansens' lives for one episode and leave; Syd is gone from the clinic running "errands" and saving people more than she's working there. And people wonder why they don't get nominated for any awards . . . "Providence" needs some fresh ideas and continuity.

Thu Feb 08 2001The characters are so real when you watch this. You really feel like your a part of their lives and they can really tough your heart with the topics they deal with.

Thu Feb 08 2001I love the way you feel when you watch this show. It may deal with some intence topics but I'm 13 and I always seem to understand what's going on. It's like living in a real fantasy world.

Thu Apr 06 2000Aside from Mike Farrell, all the characters on this show are annoying.

Thu Dec 23 1999Enough characters to have different story lines going at once. The son needs to get a job and a life.

Sat Dec 18 1999I really wanted to like this show, but it's the sappiest thing I've ever watched. If I didn't know the city personally, I'd be biased against it just because it would remind me of the show.
