Dharma & Greg was an unusual cross-generational situation comedy created by Chuck Lorre & Dottie Dartland. Dharma Freedom Finkelstein-Montgomery ( Jenna Elfman , " Townies ") is a free-spirited yoga instructor with an incredible knack for looking on the bright side. Raised by hippie parents, she was taught to shun convention, trust her wildest instincts, and find the joy in everyday life. Her husband, Greg Montgomery ( Thomas Gibson , " Chicago Hope "), is a conservative, Harvard-educated attorney and the yin to Dharma's yang. Married on their first date, they have remained committed to each other from day one, despite the obstacles presented by the world around them. Among those obstacles are Dharma's counterculture parents, Abby ( Mimi Kennedy ) and Larry ( Alan Rachins ), who recently brought another bohemian bundle of joy — baby Harry — into the world. On the other side, literally, are Greg's uptight, blue-blood parents, Kitty ( Susan Sullivan ) and Edward ( Mitchell Ryan ), who've slowly but surely come to accept the fact that their son married outside the country club boundaries.

Executive producer Chuck Lorre made minor television history by taking advantage of the fact that many fans didn't see the show at the time of its broadcast: for those who videotaped the show, each episode's end credits reveal a special message from Lorre on a vanity card. These are currently being added and can be found under the "Notes" section for each episode. Dharma & Greg is now in active syndication in the United States and Canada.

Did anyone else watch this? or do you still watch the re-runs on Living?

I love this show, it was so funny and weird :-p I loved the relationships between all of the parents, just because of how different they are and how they would never really get together, and that the only reason they do is because the kids got married...

I've never seen this before, but i'm thinking of maybe watching an episode just to see what it's like. Mainly cause it has Thomas Gibson in it, and i love him in Criminal Minds. Is it good.

Personally I think that it is good, it was different at the time, and I can watch it now and still find some of the episodes very very funny, whilst finding some of the moments in the later seasons heartbreaking all at the same time. I wished they had made it last for just a little longer than it did...

I watch it on Living TV. I find it refreshing to watch, it's not like a lot of these american sitcom things. It actually makes me laugh and most of the situations are believable ones. Dharma is amazing, I'd love to have a friend like her.

Another thing I love is Greg's parents lol - just the ways they think they are so upper class. And then you got Dharma's parents who know they are lower to middle class and act accordingly. So fun :)

Ooooh and the fact that they got married on their first date lol! The very first episode is one of my favourites! I was really disappointed that they cut it so short.

I watch Dharma and Greg. I love it. Dharma reminds me a lot of my friends and I, so I can relate to some of the wild and crazy things she does. :)

Dharma and Greg make a great couple as well!

Season one is available but from the looks of it only on Region 1 which is quite annoying... it's another one of those times I'm very tempted to go get a multi region dvd player :-p lol but it's probably not worth it!

I've just found the complete season's 1-5 on dvd at www.tvdvdplanet.com for $93.99, but for shipping they add on $44.99... total being $138.98 (which converted to pounds is about £70.50 - been thinking about it alot today) ... so when my last months uni work money goes into my back account I know what I shall be buying :D (this weekend me hopes :D)

I just watched the first 2 episodes on Living today, I'd never seen them before, so funny, just seeing how they got together and everything... I was laughing so much when the parents met each other for the very first time :-p!

I'm going to see if I can catch an episode on the net, see whether I like it. I've only ever seen Thomas in Criminal Minds, so It'll be good to see him in something else. Can't wait.
