Everwood turns 15: The WB drama was This Is Us before its time

Star Tribune

The family drama premiered on Sept. 16, 2002, lasting four seasons. Created by Greg Berlanti before he became a mega-producer, it was the launchpad for such future stars as Chris Pratt and Emily VanCamp, who were siblings on screen and boyfriend and girlfriend in real life. Everwood was also a tearjerker that, despite its devoted fanbase, failed to make the leap to the newly created CW in 2006. PLUS: Everwood stars reunited to mark 15 years, and they swapped Chris Pratt stories.
