Party Of Five


A very welcome blast from the past with the release on DVD of one of my very favourite shows (and that is not a broad category) of the 1990s - Party Of Five.
It was weird watching the first couple of episodes today but also good because I used to always make time to watch. For the uninitiated, Party Of Five is about a family who are orphaned and left to fend for themselves as family services try to split them up.
It starred Scott Wolf as Bailey, Neve Campbell as Julia, later Jennifer Love Hewitt as Sarah (Bailey's on-off girlfriend) and Matthew Fox (Jack from Lost) as Charlie, the eldest of the group.
OK, so it was at times a bit depressing to watch. They were always having troubles of some kind but it still also made you feel good because at the heart of the show is the importance of family.
I'm going to enjoy reliving this show and I hope they hurry up with season 2 and beyond (I do note that season 3 is out in the USA but they get everything first).
