All's Well That Ends Well : Aired Wednesday, May 3, 2000

After initial hesitations, Bailey goes to Wharton Business School at UPenn in Philadelphia, Julia accepts a job at NOW in Washington DC (and Justin transfers to Georgetown to be with her), and Claudia goes to New York to Julliard. Daphne is miserable in Texas, so when Bailey decides to leave, Charlie asks Luke to be his partner. The Salingers sell their family home.

Woah. Claudia is hot.

and developed as well.

Used to watch this show all the time but towards the end kinda slacked a bit. And to tell you the truth...I had pretty much forgot about it.

I bumped this thread because Netflix just added Party of Five, and I couldn't find any episode discussion threads. I decided to revisit this show 20+ years later.

Yes the show was always bad in one respect, but it was the 'good' bad in that it was an addicting show. It is interesting to watch a show that came out before the 'Cable Drama era' when Regular TV still ruled. I will say this that these episodes are easy to breeze through as some Cable Dramas today are just a chore to watch for some reason. I felt that way when I watched Freaks and Geeks on Netflix as there was something innocent about Traditional TV dramas of the 90's where they couldn't curse, no nudity, etc, and had to get creative in other ways to keep you interested.

I loved this show, almost afraid to revisit to ruin the nice little bubble capsule I have in my mind of it.

I totally get that, as I never watched the show with a sense of loyalty in the 90's. I think I started watching it around Season 3 after I saw Neve Campbell in Scream and had a huge crush on her and bailed around Season 5 so I'm invested to see how it ends.

You also have to reprogram yourself to the pre-internet/pre-smart phone days when watching it now. Every episode is littered with everyone not being able to find certain people, so it was a great suspense plotline back then. One episode Charlie is looking for Julia and calls her from a payphone, as you just couldn't do an episode like that today. And the 90's Grunge feel to it sort of brings me back.

And I have to say that Claudia (The girl from MeanGirls) is a hell of a great kid actor as she pretty much steals every scene in the first season.

She's a staple in Hallmark Christmas Movies now!!

I think Winnie Cooper from 'The Wonder Years' is too so I guess that's where all 80's/90's child stars find their 2nd act!

They died

So 16 years ago, what was IC FReeze's other account?

Hey some go to Pop TV...

I remember liking Party of Five at first, as they often had realistic results to the crises they faced; they didn't always win. But for some reason, the show runners thought that meant the viewers only wanted depressing stories, so they just had the Salingers face one bad situation after another. Everyone got cancer, died, etc. It was too much.

Claudia did grow up hot though.

From what I remember, they hit every dramatic storyline with Julia as she was a total trainwreck
