A gem. Delightful story lines, not too sappy and exciting enough the whole family can enjoy. Acting is top notch. It has humor, heart and wholesome values. Why this was not a mega hit is puzzling. It seems like a third season would have finished the story lines nicely. As a die hard Alcott fan, I appreciated the accuracy and authenticity that were true to the classic novel. Nick, (finely played by Spencer Rochfort) was a great addition to the series version. Jo and Nick's developing attraction was a delight to watch unfold. Family values at its finest. Plus the musical score was superb.
