This show was better than I thought that it would be. I certainly wasn't anything great, especially from the WB but I would say that "Everwood" was a solid attempt at a show about the relationship between a widower and his two children.
I especially liked Treat Williams' performance as Dr. Edward Brown the brain surgeon who leaves behind world-wide fame to live in a small town in Colorado called Everwood. A place that his son Ephram (played by Gregory Smith, that kid from the Patriot and Small Soldiers who actually surprised me a with a decent performance) does not want to go to.
The first episode was a typical sort of "seeing the new town" sort of pilot episode. It was fairly well done though I did not like Debra Mooney who played the biker-chick/nurse hybrid. I think that she once played a judge on one of the courtroom dramas, probably The Practice, and I could not really look past that.
All in all I would say that I liked this show but I don't think that it has the cast to stick around much past the first season, if that.
