Everwood (2002)

A widowed Manhattan neurosurgeon moves his children to a small Colorado town, and his son Ephram, a gifted pianist who resents every minute of it, carries the teenage half of the story. Greg Berlanti's series is gentler and more tearful than its WB neighbors, giving family arguments as much weight as first love. Choose it when you want something that feels like a warm sweater rather than a cocktail party. Four seasons make it a manageable rewatch.
