RETURN TO TOP

In its second season on The WB, this engrossing series has proven itself to be much more than the average family drama. Unafraid to tackle any subject, the first season of Everwoodconfronted topics such as teens with sexually transmitted diseases, a husband who was living a lie by hiding his homosexuality from his wife, a minister who was facing sudden blindness and a frightened 18-year-old girl who had decided to have an abortion. Set in a breathtaking small town in the Rocky Mountains, the series' emotional center is the visceral and often heartbreaking relationship between a father and son. Andrew Brown's (Treat Williams, Hollywood Ending, The Late Shift) own life changed forever the day his loving wife died. Up until then, he was a world-renowned neurosurgeon whose career always overshadowed his obligations as a parent. When he was faced with the daunting task of raising his two kids, pre-teen Delia (Vivien Cardone, A Beautiful Mind) and teenage Ephram (Gregory Smith, The Patriot) by himself, Andrew traded in the New York skyline for the breathtaking vistas of the Rockies to settle in Everwood, Colorado, a charming and picturesque little town tucked in among majestic snowy peaks.

When Dr. Brown opened a free clinic for the citizens of Everwood, popular opinion was that he had lost his mind, but that didn't stop one local character, Edna (Debra Mooney, Tootsie), from applying for a job as his nurse and office manager. While Edna and her husband, school bus driver Mr. Irv (John Beasley, The Apostle), welcomed Dr. Brown, the person most disturbed by the new clinic was Edna's son and the only other doctor in town, Dr. Harold Abbott (Tom Amandes, television's The Untouchables). Dr. Abbott quickly forbade his teenage children, Amy (Emily VanCamp, Glory Days) and Bright (Chris Pratt) to have anything to do with the Brown family.

Despite Dr. Abbott's attempts to keep the families apart, Ephram Brown fell for Amy Abbott the first time he saw her. He soon learned that she was obsessed with her boyfriend Colin Hart (Mike Erwin), who remained in a coma after a traffic accident left him with a serious brain injury. For Amy, the arrival of Ephram's father - the country's most respected brain surgeon - seemed like a gift from heaven. Dr. Brown finally agreed to use his skill to try and repair Colin's brain damage and bring him out of the coma, and the results seemed to be a true miracle. It wasn't long, however, until Colin was suffering from seizures, and Dr. Brown knew that another surgery was needed. This second operation would be even more dangerous than the first, and, as Dr. Brown explained to Colin and his parents, the odds were not good.
