Quality Show!

State of Grace was a fabulous show and one I thought had more depth than Wonder Years (although I was a big fan of Wonder Years also). Perhaps I liked it so much because I am the mother of 2 daughters, perhaps because my daughters are the result of a mixed religion marriage. At any rate, the acting was sublime: both my girls and I adored both Hannah and Grace. The interactions between Hannah's parents and the growth of Grace's mother (played WONDERFULLY by Faye Grant) made the show a delight for parents as well. My little one still gets teary when she hears "Do You Believe in Magic?" Trust Eisner to f*&^ up again.
