    • Trivia
      Like The Bradys (1990), Providence was originally intended to be a short run mid-season filler. It proved so popular, additional episodes were ordered and it went on to become a successful series.

      Lynda Hansen: How did I let your sister talk me into that color?

      Sydney Hansen: Well, it is Joanie's wedding.

      Lynda Hansen: No, dear, it's my wedding. She's just the bride.

    Everything you could want in a TV drama
    Providence is a great television drama. It has elements of drama, comedy and romance in each episode, and revolves around the close-knit Hansen family and their fathers vet clinic.

    Some parts of it are Ally McBeal-esque, particularly the dream sequences that almost always begin each episode with Sydney Hansens mother and some crazy thing happening to Syd.

    After watching just a few episodes you really care about the characters and what happens to them and want to keep watching them.

    Some of the parts in the hospital and clinic are a bit like ER but the show is more relationship based.

    This is one of my favourite American TV dramas of all time!
