Blurb reviews for Acting Out

From David Biancuili:
10:00 p.m. (ABC) "Once and Again." This series isn't doing so well on Friday nights-- no surprise there. It's the sort of intricate, intelligent, serialized story that requires a loyal weekly audience, paying close attention, to appreciate fully. And on Fridays, many people have things to do, at least on occasion, or are more in the mood for forget-the-week escapism than confront-your-life realism. The series is doing just fine, and is good as ever this year. ABC's at fault, and needs to move it back to a midweek slot. __NY Daily News (October 19, 2001)

It's bad enough that Grace (Julia Whelan) and Jessie (Evan Rachel Wood) have to live in the same house and breathe the same air now that Lily (Sela Ward) and Rick (Billy Campbell) are married. Add to that the fact that they're both auditioning for the same role in the school play and you have what clinicians call "sibling rivalry." Or step-sibling rivalry, in this case. __Zap2it.com (October 19, 2001)

From Gist.com:
The relationship between Grace (Julia Whelan) and Jessie (Evan Rachel Wood), which was already frosty, isn't getting any warmer now that they're both auditioning for the same role in the school play. As usual, Lily (Sela Ward) and Rick (Billy Campbell) are in the middle. They're also in the middle of the growing, yet nebulous, relationship between Judy (Marin Hinkle) and Sam (Steven Webber).
