Blurb reviews for Experience is the Teacher

From Cheryl Everette, Gist.com:
This week the focus is on Grace (Julia Whelan), who is getting ever closer to her drama teacher, Mr. Dimitri (Eric Stoltz), much to the dismay of her mother (Sela Ward) and father (Jeffrey Nordling). The relationship is also putting Dimitri's job in jeopardy.

Zap2it best bet:
Grace continues to pursue a relationship with her drama teacher (guest star Eric Stoltz), which is none too good for his career.

From Mike Duffy, Detroit Free Press:
Death watch. In case you missed the news, ABC announced the cancellation of this superlative family drama late last week. It will leave the air far too soon -- following an April 15 finale episode. On tonight's episode, Grace (Julia Whelan) foolishly continues to pursue a relationship with her English teacher (Eric Stolz) and his career is jeopardized.

From Charlie McCollum, Remote Patrol, San Jose Mercury News:
It's official: ABC has pulled the plug on "Once and Again'' after three wonderful seasons. So only three episodes remain for TV's finest family drama, starting with tonight's (10 p.m., Ch. 7). But at least, if the show has to come to an end, it's going out with a bang. Tonight's installment is a beautiful piece of work that wraps up the story line involving Grace Manning and her teacher. Like most of the best "Once and Again'' episodes, this one avoids the obvious and substitutes complexity for the easy way out. There's also marvelous acting from the luminous Julia Whelan as Grace, Sela Ward as Lily and Eric Stoltz as Grace's teacher.

TV-Now Top Picks:
Grace (Julia Whelan) further pursues a relationship with her drama teacher (Eric Stoltz), to the detriment of his teaching career. In case you haven't heard yet, ABC shut this fine drama down. It ends on April 15. Enjoy Sela Ward and Bill Campbell while you can.

David Bianculli, NY Daily News:
Fans of this series, brace yourselves. In two weeks, ABC will present the final installment, with a last-minute episode that will bring the story, and this wonderful show, to a close. So enjoy tonight's show, and tape it, while you can. Sela Ward, Billy Campbell star. ABC.

Boston Globe:
Tragically, "Once and Again" has been given notice by ABC, and the series finale will air on April 15. Meanwhile, "America's Funniest Home Videos" lives on. Ah, well. Tonight's third-to-last "Once and Again," at 10 on Channel 5, zeroes in on Grace and her teacher.
