Just found this series a few weeks ago on Roku. So what happened to the family? How can you leave us hanging? What fool closed this down? How can we go on this way? Oh so many questions

betsybearden17 August 2020It is very difficult to find a program that the entire family can watch together on a Saturday night. This is more important now, than ever, with the Coronavirus keeping us closer to home making us unable to go to the theater like we all used to so we can watch a movie. Television really needs to step up with more family-oriented programs. We recently subscribed to Hallmark Movies Now. and I came across "Legacy." It' hard to go wrong with any Hallmark movie or TV series. This was made around 1998-1999. It's a good show, but there are only 18 episodes with no closure. It was discontinued right in the middle of everything. I realize that much time has passed, but you would think someone could come up with a few final episodes that bring it all up to date and then provide closure. This is a good family show and it had a lot of potential of going a lot longer. One word of advise if you do plan to provide final episodes, aside from the theme song, please find music more suitable to the times and environment that what the show currently provides. It just does not work. Thanks so much.

magical-kingdom24 January 2016I was so totally involved in this drama,couldn't wait to see what would happen next.Just finished watching 18 episodes and totally loved it. We need more shows of this caliber. Happy to have viewed it but not being aware it was an abruptly canceled show with an incomplete ending was aggravating. What kind of inconsiderate, irresponsible network drops a series prior to a decent conclusion.
Legacy is a family western drama led by patriarch/widower Ned Logan (Brett Cullen)running a prestigious Kentucky horse farm who has a legacy to uphold no matter the obstacles,his son's failed engagement,a devastating barn fire, the addition of an orphan but he is a very honorable man determined to defend the family name. He believes in a solid foundation of love/support and helping others less fortunate. They are a proud,close knit family working to maintain their values among a society driven by power,greed,self-centered neighbors who only pretend to have integrity.
Ned's eldest son Sean (Grayson McCough,) handsome, charismatic with a promising future. Clay (Jeremy Garrett,), passionate, hot-headed son. Alice (Lea Moreno) a mature conflicted teenager very willing to accept the responsibility of running the household and Lexy (Sarah Rayne,) the youngest, who is mature beyond her years. All are prime examples of the best parenting.
This is an excellent, wholesome TV series, with exceptional actors/actresses. There is plenty happening to keep a viewers interest and anticipation to what may happen next. Although evil is around every corner the series is minus violence and killing,maybe that is one reason it was canceled. Go figure today's audiences. The most violent movies create best box office.
Agree, with a previous reviewer regarding giving almost anything to find out if the "wicked stepmother" got what she deserved. -
Ceirdwyn5 January 1999I admit it... I had never even seen this show before last week. From the previews last fall, it looked like its target audience was 10-15 year old girls who love nothing more than horses and attractive young men. Then UPN made a smart move and did "Legacy" Week during the Christmas to New Years holidays when every other station was showing reruns or hokey specials. So I decided to give it a try... Hey at the very least it DID have attractive (albeit young) men.
But you know what? This show is GOOD. It is completely underrated. It has great storylines, plots, and it's not wrapped up in that romantic notion of what being a horse-breeder or a farmer is all about. I was pleasantly surprised and by Wednesday found myself eager to get home from work so that I didn't miss the show...
The premise is a family in Lexington, Kentucky post civil war but pre-famous for the Derby. We have a widowed father; his two sons, one of which is trying his hand at tobacco; two daughters, one of which carries the burden of being lady of the house amidst her teenage hormones; an orphan who is trying to find his place in this family; and a host of other characters that intermingle with the family. The interpersonal relations are intriguing, the twists and turns unexpected, and the sense of wholeness that this one family exhudes is staggering.
I highly recommend this show... It's more than mere entertainment but it doesn't stoop to armchair psychology. It is a perfect balance of people interacting in their pre-technological environment. -
tverkaik-2053226 December 2017Wonderful show! My family found this show on the Hallmark channel. We were so disappointed that it had only one season. There is so much garbage out there...and a wonderful show like Legacy gets cancelled....I don't get it.

celticromancequeen13 November 2019I just saw this on the Hallmark Movies Now streaming channel. I binged it and loved it. It's a good show and it so sad it only had one season. I loved this.

richardstark2 September 2006Legacy, one of the few Western series to grace American television screens in recent years, was set on a Kentucky horse farm soon after the American Civil War. The Logan family, headed up by patriarch Ned (Brett Cullen), dealt with a series of domestic and romantic crises, such as the arrival of 17-year old orphan Jeremy, and Sean Logan's interracial affair with the daughter of a former slave. Although Legacy had lush location footage and an appealing cast, the ratings were not impressive, and after one season the show became one of many series thrown on the scrap heap by UPN.
A number of cast members such as Grayson McCouch and Sharon Leal went on to find success in other daytime and prime time series.
A family-run horse farm nestled among the rolling blue grass hills of post-Civil War Kentucky provides the picturesque backdrop for LEGACY, a family drama series that chronicles the proud and close-knit Logan family as they struggle to maintain their deep-seated family values of hard work and integrity in a society increasingly driven by money, power and self-indulgence.
"My grandfather came to this country 100 years ago and built an incredible life for his family out of nothing. This land means everything to us... He left us a legacy - to give others less fortunate than we are a chance to turn their lives around." - Ned Logan.
The family is led by patriarch Ned Logan (Brett Cullen, Young Riders, Falcon Crest), a widower and horse breeder who strongly believes in the "legacy" passed down by his Irish ancestors - to build a solid foundation of love and support for his family while giving others less fortunate a chance to make better lives for themselves. Yet, in a rapidly changing world, it is this very noble and "old-fashioned" belief that creates conflict within his family and within their community.
Beyond stables of horses and acres of farmland, Ned must keep sight of his family, whose lofty ambitions, romantic entanglements and mischievous adventures ensure the Logan's notoriety within social circles. Eldes son Sean (Grayson McCough, Armageddon) is a handsome, charismatic young man with a promising future and a secret love that could threaten his dreams; Clay (Jeremy Garrett, Sweet Valley High), the passionate, yet hot-tempered son, who often feels that his father's compassion for others does not extend to him; Alice (Lea Moreno, Doomrunners), an upright and conflicted teenager forced by her mother's death to play the maternal role in the family, but still searching for her own identity; and Lexy (Sarah Rayne, Teen Angel), the youngest and most willful of the offspring, who often demonstrates wisdom beyond he years.
Adding drama to the family's already delicate balance is Jeremy (Ron Melendez, Perfect Body), a street-wise and troubled 17 year-old orphan from New York who is taken in by Ned Logan. With a history of dishonesty and petty crime, Jeremy finds himself a fish out of water as he builds both relationships and rifts with the rest of the Logan family.
Raising children in a world that measures a person's success by his or her material possessions isn't easy, but Ned Logan is determined to overcome any obstacles to keep his family together and strong. After all... the Logans have a "legacy" to uphold. -

junesanborn3 July 2021Good movie promoting family. No language, mild violence & no nudity. Only one bed scene & both are in historical under garments.

I discovered this show recently on Hallmark movies now and couldn't wait to see each episode...I was so disappointed though that there was only one season and it left us hanging! There was so much potential for further seasons and I'm disappointed that we'll never know whether Ned wises up and tosses Charlotte to the curb before something drastic happens! I'm surprised the actors aren't more well known because they were all so talented...I think someone should do a remake of this series and finish developing the storylines. We could really use some more wholesome shows like this! The setting was beautiful and I loved the time era!

debizhere18 June 2018So disappointed and upset. Who cancels a show with no ending?! 18 episodes were great (altho a bit confusing...one episode has two of the major characters kissing/in love and next episode he's hitting on someone ekse...next episide the original 2 are back together. That's only one example). But to just end it and leave evryone hanging?! Ridiculous.

cluedoctor30 April 2009I enjoyed watching this show when it was on and missed the last one so I never saw what happened with the new wife. It was a shame it was canceled. Initially, I never thought it would be as good as it was. I was surprised to see a cast of mostly unknown actors and actresses, but the acting was well done.The scenery was beautiful, gorgeous horses and of course,Loreena McKennit's title song "Mummer's Dance." I know I video taped most of the episodes, but I may have missed one or two. I was ready for a second season and was dismayed to see it didn't make the cut. Sure wish it would come out on DVD. Does anyone know if there are plans to bring it to DVD?

rosiecap17 August 2000Hello, my name is Rosangela and I'm writing from Italy. Three week ago I saw the first episode from the tv serie "Legacy" and it was love at the first sight, but this morning I've discovered that the drama was cancelled more than one year ago! It's a pity 'cause it's one of the very few drama made well. If there's anyone who wants writing me i'll be really happy.

fldiane-6708014 February 2024I loved this series & binged watched it for two days only to find out there is no other seasons to give closure to the show. Excellent show for families, which we really need now a days, but then to just leave it hanging like this is just not acceptable. Please consider bringing the series back. It was an excellent show with a good plot & all of the actors were exceptional. I really enjoyed every episode but then to find out there was no ending was disturbing. Who can I contact on this? Would it be the network or the writers? How many others agree with this? I'd love to see this show continue.

savessouls9 March 2024This is such a good homesome and family oriented show and they cancelled without closure. I saw one episode and binge watched every single one of them. They need to bring this show back maybe years passes and they can continue as there older and give flashbacks but it's a shame you start a show and not at least give the viewers closure. I hope whomever written these shows or episodes would consider bringing back a few more seasons. It would be fantastic to see where it goes. I hope some other station picks up and continues the series.
Hellooooo anyone please continue at least give us closure. -
elainalvschrist215 October 2016Really liked this show after the first 2 episodes. Found it very interesting and was drawn in by the entire cast and plot. Unfortunately, episode 3 (Blood Relative) left me with a bad taste in my mouth. One particular scene involving one of the main characters and a mysterious woman, was highly inappropriate. I am very disappointed that a supposed "family" TV series included such a scene in the episode. Furthermore, there were a couple of unnecessary comments made concerning women earlier in the episode. I cannot recommend this TV series to any family, as I have not watched any episodes beyond this one. If you intend for a show to be "family-friendly", then please don't throw in adult situations into the mix. Truth be told, it's false advertising.

alderink-9573811 April 2024I stumbled upon this show only recently. I had the rare opportunity to do some binge watching - I watched all 18 episodes in 3 days. In 1998 I did not have much time to see any TV. I am at a loss as to why this show never continued. It should be revived. While it may be somewhat misleading on details (as a couple of other reviewers mentioned); I found it engaging, intriguing and entertaining. It is entertainment, not a historical documentary. It has certainly left me hanging. Please reconsider and revive this show. We need answers to all these storylines and I have no doubt the writers can come up with a few more.

judygh-6647112 January 2024When are TV and movie companies going to stop pronouncing Louisville incorrectly!! ? If you are going to make a show about KY then do your research!
The only show that I have ever seen that did things most correctly was Justified.
If you can't even pronounce Louisville like a Kentuckian then you aren't believable.
There are other inaccuracies about the show that make it unbelievable but I won't get into each one.
And NONE of the characters have a southern accent. Kentuckians have a very distinctive southern accent all their own.
The storyline of the show is good but the inaccuracies make it so unreal it is hard to watch. -
deliverator3 September 2003Like the previous poster, I thought that this was a prettified version of the family Western made to appeal to the UPN/WB generation, which I did kinda fit into at the time age wise so I came to it late.
I regret not keeping up with it. The stories were pretty well written and balanced character wise and not everything was cliched. The different relationships took me a bit to keep straight but I figure if any one can follow "One Life to Live" you can follow anything.
I have only one episode that I accidentally taped and it was when one of the sons found out about the "wicked" stepmother to be and that she lied about who she really was and tried to tell it at Logan masked ball but was prevented. I never did find out if she got the ranch/farm away from the family. Every time I see it I go "Man! I'd give a plug nickel to know if she got hers in the end..." -
katia-531 December 1998A very good tv show with lots of exceptional actors and actresses each having a character and portraying it well. It just goes to show you life was hard back then.

"SPEC"26 June 1999brett cullen's presentation is 1st quality with sincere parental characterization. the star team was most compatible to the story so well formulated by chris abbott. the entire production company ,actors and cast extras were genuine community and caring group .including santa claus galore and gifts for handicap children on set stage. the show was not adequately advertised by network and that which they used was not effective for the theme of this series. they should have existed longer with it. good to hear tonight that on july 9.16.23&30th will be aired the last 4 episodes at same stations and 8 p.m. slot. all should be sure to view this time and let u p n t v network and atlantis ,los angeles, ca. know of your interests to return it to the screen pronto. there is a steady growing fan base that relates so much to show that several have written terrific follow scripts ,of which chris abbott has seen. all get on board.
