Emotionally distressed Isabel Lukens (Kimberly Williams-Paisley) is alone in Rome. Fellow American Leo Roth (David Conrad) sees her LA Clippers cap and they strike up a Roman holidays fling. Back in the States, Isabel has to deal with boyfriend Everett who is beloved by her parents and looking to propose. She has two sisters; Jennifer with volatile poet boyfriend Dean and Karen married to Alan. Leo has his roommate Doug (Adam Goldberg) and his dysfunctional family. His sister Rhonda is a lesbian. His father Barry lives with his grandpa and younger brother Jake.This is a beautiful looking couple. Their romance could be more magical. It has Italy but it needs more romantic epic. Everett is not that big of a villain. In fact, their relationship is probably the third or fourth most compelling of the show. Doug and Karen is the most interesting. Jake has a great one episode Romeo&Juliet epic romance with guest star Holly Marie Combs. Even Jennifer's rotating love-life is competitive with them. This is produced by those who made 'Once and Again' and 'My So-Called Life'. There are some great episodes, an appealing central couple, and lots of great side characters.

A sweet show. Definitely more of a drama than the nighttime soap-opera many may have thought of it as, and in a situation that many could relate (no pun intended) to. The opening episode has Isabele returning from a trip abroad where she met and started a relationship with a man other than her fiancé, who was waiting at home. What follows is a deep study of how old friends and relatives by-proxy remain that way and intertwine with new ones.I definitely would suggest it if you can catch it in reruns (I haven't seen it listed anywhere) and will be buying it as a gift for a friend who absolutely adored the show.

Relativity was the best show ever. I loved it so much, I can't wait for it to go on DVD. It was so beautiful and well written, and the acting was Superb. I cried when they took it off after one season. I would pay so buy this, and I would probably wear it out and need another one. Adam Goldberg did a fabulous job as the Love-struck Doug. I love him, and have seen him do other things not that great, but what made this role so good was the Hot chemistry between him and Karen. It was the classic true love that all women dream of. People need dreams, get this timeless show on DVD. The world, or at least my world would be a much better place.Thank you. Rhonda

This was a charming series, and probably from ABC's perspective producers Zwick and Herskowitz's "second strike" after the short run of their MY SO-CALLED LIFE, and before the undersupported but three-season run of ONCE AND AGAIN. THIRTYSOMETHING, their briefly hit series from several seasons previously, had been a trendsetter, if a bit precious to my taste; MY/LIFE, their followup dealing with teens, had been an improvement, and surely has reverberated with its audience in a way few series have; RELATIVITY, dealing primarily with a couple in their twenties and their families, friends, and colleagues, was better yet, and deserved much more support from network and audience alike. (ONCE AND AGAIN, the FORTYSOMETHING show which followed, was even better, as far as I'm concerned, but that doesn't diminish the excellent quality of this neglected series.) Yes, let's have those DVDs!
