deedeerbug I am constantly looking for this series on DVD and have had no luck finding it. I absolutely loved this series. It is where I first saw one of my favorite celebrity crushes Kyle Chandler. I would love to own this on DVD. Why isn't it on DVD??
ekimap This is a show that has stuck with me for years. I still miss it. And I totally agree with other comments, the network KILLED it. I loved it, I wanted to watch it, but for the life of me, I could never figure out just when or where to watch it. Even the fans couldn't find it how could it find new viewers? It seems to be a trend in the networks, killing off the good ones because it doesn't meet their demographic, or they monkeyed with the time slot till it died. Especially this year with the writer's strike, so many shows got cancelled, not because they weren't good, but because of mismanagement. I would buy Homefront on DVD if I could find it. Anyone out there have it on tape and willing to share?
jrh-20 Why did this series get lost in total obscurity? It's taken me forever to even find a mention of it online. I couldn't remember exactly what year (s) it was on, and I still can't figure out what network it showed on. Was it ABC? Does anyone remember? It was one of the few series I've ever seen that actually had some serious value to it. There wasn't (hardly) any sex, no violence, but plenty of well written dialog and some excellent story lines. About the only thing that comes close is "The West Wing" nowadays. I agree - it needs to be released on DVD! Come on WB!!JRH
gambrino5 This was/is an incredible series that continues to be my all time favorite. I do stay up until all hours of the morning to watch a re-run when I can on Sunday night where this show is still being aired on GoodLife television. I really hope someone will wake up and release this series on DVD while the market is hot...they are releasing so many TV series, HOMEFRONT deserves to be on the shelves so we can get it back in our homes! While it was a difficult exercise in "tv-guide" navigation trying to figure out when homefront was being aired, it always proved to be worth it. The songs, the story-lines, the characters were truly captivating. Who can we write to about its being released to those of us who truly enjoyed this program?
