5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Ghost of Television's Past, September 17, 2004

This review is from: Party of Five - The Complete First Season (DVD)

This engaging character study of five children who lost their parents in a tragic car accident was one of the most worthwhile shows on television. It sounds difficult to have a show that details the intermingled lives of five individuals who have very intricate relations with not only one another but others in their lives. This show managed to familiarize us with each character in depth while showing their strenths and weaknesses as a family unit.

The first season gets us acquained with the Salingers as a family and as individuals. You find yourself relating to one or several characters but empathizing with all due to their circumstances. I truly hope that the next season will be offered on DVD soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brave, moving and thought provoking, June 3, 2004

This review is from: Party of Five - The Complete First Season (DVD)

This has to be, without a doubt, one of the bravest tv shows aimed at the teen market, especially when you consider this season is from 1994.
Its about 5 children (between the ages of 24 and 1) who try desperately to keep their family together after the death of their parents in a car crash, and the problems they face on a daily basis and how they deal with them in the absence of their parents. The show is beautifully acted by all, and you really feel their pain. The show covers so many topics with dignity without being patronising; teen sex, drug abuse, under age drinking, sex, homosexuality, death, infidelity, HIV and so many more.
Its a brave show, the best 22 hours of TV I've watched in a very long while. I have missed many of the following series as I live in the UK, and I can't wait to catch up!!! (Hurry and release the follow up series' PLEEEEASE!!!).

The DVD extras - adequate. A couple of commentaries and a 'look back', with interviews from some of the cast and writers.

A brilliant, inspiring show for teens and upwards (I'm 33!).

This review is from: Party of Five - The Complete First Season (DVD)

This was the best tv series of the early nineties (ally mcbeal being the best of the late nineties), it is a crime to see that the following series' have not yet been released. How can they release as much rubbish as they do on dvd these days without releasing ALL of the party of five series'. It must be to do with the fact the 1st series has not sold as well as expected, but I can't believe that.
Who are these people that refuse their release, and where do they live?
ITS JUST RUDE!
