Party of Five

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 generally hate to see TV reboots for shows I loved, like the original party of five;however, the re-envisioning provided by this new version allows it to pack all the emotion, drama, and portrayal of family of the original series. While it is always hard to tell how a show will go, after watching the pilot, I think this show has incredible potential.

Well, I watched about 20 mins hoping for somthing good and was let down. Again this is another show to turn into a political brainwashed , just like the recent reboot of Rosewell.

The five Acosta children, Emilio, Lucia, Beto, Valentina, and baby Rafael, are forced to live on their own after their parents get deported to Mexico.

This is a reboot of the 1994 TV teen melodrama. The major difference is that this version tries to incorporate the immigration debate to the show's detriment. In the original, the parents died and that is a large part of the premise. The kids are alone. In this version, the parents are omnipresent. Right off the bat, this show is destroying the original's main premise. On top of that, these kids are really annoying. The original's kids can be bratty at times but they end up together because they have no one else. The little sister is not always whining about going to her parents. It also doesn't make sense that the parents would leave the baby with the other kids. Basically, every change in the show makes it worst and it all adds up to an inferior show.

I was a huge fan of the original from the 90's and was so excited they were bringing it back. And I'm not disappointed! I love the new spin they put on the show making it about a Hispanic family who deal with their parents being deported along with everyday struggles as teens and young adults. The characters personalities are very similar to the original cast members Lacy Chabert, Scott Wolf, Neve Campbell and Matthew Fox. I hope a lot of people check this show out and it gets picked up for a season 2 the first episode is great so far!
