everything you have heard about this movie is true.

The first must-see film of the year.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Also on my Hard-to-Find list, seasons 3 and onwards. This used to be a late night show on South African pay channel M- Net, Friday nights after the featured movie. Series is caught between its own corniness and other moments of far exceeding itself. The most memorable sequence to me will always be that very hot chick tied to the bed with Martin's fantasy of licking honey or cream or whatever off her going awry. Fortunately I did obtain that, for it was in Season Two, I think. I remember an episode with strong references to phallic imagery (in the lateral sense, of course, like train rushing into tunnel, rocket launching, etc) which I do not have on DVD, so that must be Season Three. M-Net didn't bother with it further on. Just learned today that it apparently tames down as it progresses, and these elements of naughtiness would be sorely missed, seeing that they drew my attention to the series in the first place. C'mon, I had to wait up for this, often. Without the delightful bits this would not have been worth it. Anybody out there with more info about just exactly what goes on in Season Four glamor- wise, welcome to contact ol' RavenGlamDVDCollector@gmail.com.Hey, I know! This is a shoddy review! Have noticed another reviewer quite fond about the beloved characters. But my experience was that I got really bummed having to wait for tedious, endless movies to finally trundle, trundle past before this began and then it was Martin and company but all too often they got bogged down in silly scenes, and those irritating old film bits made the experience even worse. Years later, on DVD, unaffected by a long wait and bothersome commercials, the show remains, of course, a long way off from FRIENDS. Then, again, if FRIENDS had bare breasts (wow, :) Jennifer Anidton :) wow)... But if you catch my drift, there are lots of very lame- y bits in DREAM ON though I'm not calling it lame in its entirety.

Witty literate sexy well-acted with a "dream" cast & continuously amazing guest stars (everyone who's anyone). Very very funny& and very very clever! No wonder it was overlooked! The prudish hypocrites on network TV can't stand it. Sex on network TV is usually crude, contrived or sneakily suggestive, whereas Dream on's sex was sophisticated and hilarious! I loved the cast and have been rooting for their careers every since. The sad part is how seldom we see Brian Benben. Where is he now - indeed! I loved the TV recollections (actually reminded me of Mystery science Theater's clever quips). Actually, one of the reasons the show is so seldom re-run might have to do with copyright restrictions. MST3K ran into this problem also, and even though they ran for a full 7 years, many episodes still cannot be made into DVDs. Complex negotiations must be completed in order for the films contained within the episodes to be shown. Lawyers! You gotta love em (or not). Anyway, that could be the reason why dream on seems so "ignored" and why it's so rarely shown. It's too bad, especially because the showing of the clips was done with such creative flair!I really miss this series and just might have to pick up the DVD!

Despite having a deservedly strong cult following, "Dream On" seems to have been overall under-appreciated. While mega hits like "Seinfeld", "Frasier" and "Friends" have been lavishly praised, one hears very little about "Dream On" despite its long 120 episode run.Watching it after some 10 years after its original airing, it still works and extremely well. For any sitcom to work the characters have to be completely nailed down with their own personal idiosyncrasies in place. Then smart dialog has to be given to them, week after week after week. "Dream On" accomplished this and managed to maintain its level of comedic excellence thoughout its six seasons.The main characters of Martin Tupper (Brian Benben), his ex-wife Judith (Wendie Mallick), best friend Eddie (Dorien Wilson) and secretary from hell Toby (Denny Dillon) form the core of the series. We become truly fond of this motley bunch, warts and all. Benben at the very heart of the series is wonderful. A comedy actor with perfect timing and physicality too, he also had his emotional moments. He became Martin Tupper for so long, and so well, that it's been tough moving on to other projects, a fate suffered by most of the Seinfeld gang. Then there are the occasional secondary characters of crude boss Gibby (Michael Mckean), son Jeremy (Chris Demetral), overbearing mother (Renee Taylor) and recently turned gay father (Paul Dooley), all making welcome appearances. Many one time characters are played by well known stage and television actors."Dream On" addressed many sexual issues with the kind of unbridled candor sadly lacking on today's television screens. This it did with much chutzpah and a lot of humor. It's unique usage of old movie footage could have been intrusive and downright irritating in lesser hands. This gimmick however was so cleverly handled that one soon takes it for granted and almost waits for the appropriate clip. It's all part of the "Dream On" language.120 episodes is a long run. Thankfully "Dream On" didn't peter out from becoming tired of itself as so often is the case. Until the very end, it was always a guaranteed half hour of really top class television entertainment.

Brian Benben is great in this show about Martin Tupper, a divorced father in his 40 something. This show is like a sex comedy, a little risque but still being decent. He is always looking for new girls to replace his old love Judith Tupper Stone who he divorced. Of course he can't forget her, she still got her own keys to his apartment. And look out for his secretary Toby, who is NOT the best secretary on this planet.Always good looking girls on the show including the most sexy woman on TV today, Wendie Malick. If you can't see the show in your local area, check out Wendie on the show "Just Shoot Me!".It's time Brian Benben got a high profile show on TV again!
