The Byrds of Paradise

I wholesome family show that looked a healing from a family tragedy, the duality in Hawaiian culture, and beautiful settings. Timothy Busfield starred, with Seth Green and Jennifer Love Hewett as two of his children. Bruce Weitz and Arlo Guthrie were regulars. Steven Bochco responded to a comment that there were no family shows any more: "I made Byrds of Paradise, and nobody watched it."

This was an entertaining show from what I remember.

I was about 12 years old and enjoyed it.

I also completely fell in love with Jennifer Love Hewitt so much that I watched party of five even though I did not like it.

She was the best thing a preteen could hope for And still is for that matter.

I started watching Ghost Whisperer for her but kept watching because it is a pretty good show.

Jennifer Love Hewitt is a pretty good actress

I don't know why she does not get offered better roles.

With her body you don't even have to be a great actress

As far as I can remember this was a great show. Weird to some content, maybe? I call that originality. And believe me that's exactly what's missing in TV-shows today in the same category.. errmm... family soap for teens(?). ;)

If it was up to me I'd rather watch Byrds of Paradise than Party of Five. Don't get me wrong. PoF is watchable for the most parts, but I considered BoP had some real potential... Well, I suppose we get what we deserve.

Check this out if you ever get the chance.

I think I started watching this show because Timothy Busfield was in another show I enjoyed (30 something) His character is much less whiny in this show. To this day (2016) every time I see Seth Green in a movie I ask if people remember him from this show. To this day, I haven't found anyone else that does.

Jennifer Love Hewitt. What else can I say. A talented beautiful actress. She got my attention and is a name to remember!

Being set in Hawai'i was something different than the average show. Something beautiful to look at besides the regular LA fare (BH90210?)

I guess including a somewhat authentic feel of life in Hawai'i was too foreign for most viewers and it didn't catch on. Add my vote for seeing this series being made available for download or on a DVD !

I'm glad I'm not the only person that remembers this show. I loved that it took place in Hawaii. And the cast was actually quite well picked for this show as far as I can remember. It was also one of the first series' that I would actually wait all week for the next episode. I was so disappointed when it was canceled. It was a great show, and i thought it would have survived longer than that. I wish they would have some reruns of it. Though I guess because it was only one season that will never happen. I can't believe it has really been 12 years since it first aired. If anyone can find this on DVD or tape, I would definitely encourage them to check it out.
