Party of Five

PARTY OF 5 (1994) was a great TV series. It lasted 6 seasons. I'm beginning to think no one has a brain full of imagination anymore.. OR the powers that be that write or decide what to air are just too lazy to write or find an original story line. I would rather go back and watch the original than to allow someone to force their political agenda on me by changing the synopsis of a great show from the past.

You people out in Hollywood need to understand that with all the new technology out .. your viewers are not so naive anymore.. If you are going to do a remake.. that's fine.. Want to variate a little or enhance the story line... that's all good... but don't start infusing a "CAUSE" into the script... This will turn your viewers away faster than you can bat an eye. We get preached at, lied to, and fed false information so much within a day, the last thing we want is to have the same thing happen while we are trying to enjoy our down time. If you want to push the issue of immigration.. then make a TV show about it.. but don't hide it inside a well known much loved 90's TV series that everybody loved just the way it was written. Your remake will not be a success....

I actually like the show. I grew up watching the original party of five but I like how the writers gave this show a similar flavor. It appeals to a my younger crowd but I've found myself looking forward to waiting for the next episode each week.

I actually think this is a great series, that shows what many families in USA are going through, if you think it's sending the wrong message you clearly don't understand the main problem, it's easy to judge when you are living in a fairytale, don't tell me you wouldn't do anything to give your family a better opportunity, this tv show is all about that, a family looking for the American dream and unfortunately it took a bad turn. It really shows you the grieve that thousands of kids go through everyday all over the United States

I'm totally okay with reboots if done well. This so seems to be a fairly good drama with good characters and good actors. Of course, it has to deal with a current issue in the US. I do like that it shows the law and the legality of the issue. My only question is, if they were going to make this take on it, then why didn't the kids just move with their parents? They could all stay together that way, no matter what. So, this doesn't make sense and the reason for my rating.

I saw the comment that it should have stuck with the original premise. That would be just too much like the original. No one wants that. And why is real life too much for people? You get diversity in color/race but, not in that color or race expressing their truth? It's not about being political. It's about what is real. And this is real for some people. We can't knock the experience of others because it makes some uncomfortable. It's a great show with a great premise. And I can't wait to see how their story unfolds.
