Very Entertaining and Very Real, 26 January 2000
Author: Lisa-92 from Canada

The aptly titled "Get Real" is just that. A very true reality of the average family today. Okay, maybe not 100% average, but close enough.

When I first started watching mid-season, I was extremely drawn to the relationship between siblings in this show. They get along amazingly, but in a strangely believable way, and every time I watch this show I find myself longing for the same relationship with my own sister. The Green kids mix just the right amount of friendship with fighting, and I love the writers for displaying their rapport with one another so well.

For those of you who have never seen "Get Real", I find it to be very similar to "My So-Called Life", but with many more points of view since this is very much an ensemble cast -- there is truly not any one or two true "main" characters, there's just the whole group of them. And unlike so many other television shows today, "Get Real" has not succumbed to including the token gay best friend or the teen pregnancy that we are all so used to. When they introduce issues into their shows, they do it without calling attention to them. It is already apparent that Kenny's newfound deaf girlfriend will simply be Kenny's girlfriend by the next episode. The writers don't dwell on these things like so many other shows feel the need to do.

All I can say is, this show deserves a long run. Anyone can find themselves in these characters, and I hope that the writing stays at this level for a very long time.

One of the best shows ever cancelled, 17 November 2002
Author: Matthew J, Beeman from Raleigh, NC

This is one of the only shows I ever watched religiously and would go to great lengths not to miss. I loved it because it was real and was not overdone with sappy dramatic and romantic drama that doesn't really happen. I could connect with real feelings and real emotions. It should still be on, but typical of network executives, they didn't think about it and cancelled it.

i had a huge crush on anne hathaway, 26 April 2005
Author: matthewmasao from United States

this was the type of short-lived show that you love while its on, are heartbroken when it gets canceled, and forget about it quickly, but every so often it pops into your head somehow and you wish you could remember its name. i was like 13 when this show aired and i was in love with it. if they put this out on DVD i would pick it up in a second, and hopefully it wouldn't disappoint, cause i had pretty low standards at 13, but i would like to see it again. i am surprised to see that so many people remember this show and are demanding to have it released. i think that with 22 episodes this series is worthy of a DVD box, and it looks as if it would be worth the while of fox, but unfortunately i honestly don't see it happening. hopefully someone thought to tape them all and will have them up on ebay.

It's ok, 25 January 2003
Author: sydneybristow from Holland

Here in Holland Get Real just got aired. I like the show, although I know there won't be new episodes. I don't think the show is very funny, and it's too "perfect". But the acting is nice and so are the lines. I love Kenny's bra-obsession, I suppose that's real. It sucks that the show has been cancelled, but I suppose it's understandable. I like it, but I understand that others don't. I didn't like Anne Hathaway in The Princess Diaries, but in this show she's very cute!

Hello, 2 August 2007

Author: FireangelH20 from Canada

I loved this show and i still talk about Eric he was the best in the show i was obsessed with him in the show and it was one of my favorite TV shows at the time i wish it would have stayed on the air. well i loved the show a lot and i never wanted it gone off the air and i was all mad when it was taken off the air.

the show was a good one, i think it should come back on, i watched it every night on TV and back in 1999, was a really good show, Eric was a awesome and fabulous actor very talented.

also why do we have to write so much on this thing .. all i wanted to say is that I miss this show and Eric is hot and i loved the show also.

get real show, 1 March 2006
Author: QueenCobra1 from United States

i just read the comment from mathewmasao and i totally agree. i just remembered to finally look up the name of that show that was on for one season and that i was really hooked on, and then quickly took off the air. i just saw "princess diaries 2" on cable TV and was able to find out ann hathaways name. i remembered seeing her on it. i don't really remember now what the show was about, but i always wonder why they took it off. i just really remember me being the only one hooked on this show in my house. guess it didn't appeal to that many people. i'm glad there's such a thing as imb to look these things up. can't tell you how many bets i've won with my husband about which actors were in what movies. thanks imb!

This is a great show!, 17 February 2006
Author: auxmpetrosky2003 from United States

I saw all of the episodes of this show, and it was great! The situations were real. What situations happened in the show were actually happening to real people during those 2 years it aired. I think it was a great show, and it also emphasized how being close to your family is important. For those people who have not seen this show yet, and have the opportunity to, I would highly recommend watching it! The first 4 episodes go a little slow, but that's because each episode tells the important information about each characters traits and lifestyle. Some parts of the show are serious, while other parts just make you want to laugh. The surprise is, if you get to see all 20 episodes, how the characters act in the first 4 episodes isn't how they still are by the end of the show.

Wish it hadn't been canceled so soon..., 3 August 2001
Author: Gizmo76 from Stockton, CA

I started watching this show from the first episode, and was hooked... it was funny, heart-warming, realistic, and creatively written. The cast was incredibly talented (especially the actors who played the three teenagers), and they really interacted like a true family. The quality shows are becoming more and more rare lately, so it's always a shame when the good ones don't make it!

CAN`T BELIEVE IT!!!!, 24 July 2001
Author: Marcus from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

WEll what can i say, i live in Brazil and the show is only now avaiable. Then i found out that it´s been cancelled. :o( which made me sad cos i really like this show. i Can´t understand why a show fresher than Dawson´s Creek could have been cancelled b4 itself. I really can´t...Get Real is a simple and extremely well written tv show...u can identify yourself with one of the characther just like that. this is One of the good things about Get Real...it has deep emotions, deep stories, drama, comedy, romance, friendship, love and most of all SENSE OF FAMILY. i mean how to be a real family. That´s what i a most indetify myself with this show. Seems like my own family except that i only have one brother ...The show gives u such sense of family that really attachs u to the story that is being told. It´s a real shame that the show has been cancelled. I leave here my protest.

Awesome Show, 21 April 2001
Author: Goonieschick3 from missouri

I have no idea why the people canceled this show! I mean this was the best show I have ever seen, it's too bad people in our society today can't see a good show when it's right in their faces. Hopefully some TV station will pick it up and play the only season's reruns then maybe people would realize!
