Anyone just watch American Dreams?
God, I'm a weepy mess. This could be the last episode ever, as they're thinking of cancelling it.

If you love this show as much as I do,

    ``American Dreams,'' Wednesdays at 8 on WHDH (Ch. 7).
    NBC's ``American Dreams'' deserves a reprieve and a fourth season
    because there is no other show like it on the air.
    Sure, the stunt casting (Paris Hilton as Barbara Eden!) is
    delicious. And who doesn't love seeing Third Eye Blind as the Kinks or
    Usher as Marvin Gaye.
    Practically every singer on the Top 40 and every ``American
    Idol'' winner has stopped by ``American Dreams'' to impersonate a
    musical counterpart from yesteryear.
    Set against the backdrop of ``American Bandstand'' and the
    tumultuous '60s, the show is a throwback to another television era - a
    time when there were quality one-hour dramas that could entertain the
    entire family. This season, the Pryor family deftly tackled everything
    from teen romance to corrupt local politics to civil unrest.
    The series may be loose with the decade's time line, blending the
    era's significant events conveniently into the family's lives, but TV
    needs a show that understands how important the results of a high
    school essay contest are to a daughter, and a son's struggle after
    returning home from the Vietnam War. This dream should live on.
