Season 1 Ratings & Reviews
Washington Post
Tom Shales
While the pilot is overloaded with calamities, there's an earnestness and an honesty about the show and the characters that draw one in.
Los Angeles Times
Howard Rosenberg
Party of Five is one of the better newcomers, a generally pleasing drama series that draws you in with capable acting and likable, intelligent characters.
People Magazine
David Hiltbrand
It's perverse to put together a high-gloss young cast and then saddle them with enormous responsibilities. It's like hiring the Rockettes and dressing them in space-age-like hazmat suits: It doesn't play to their strengths.
Den of Geek
Carley Tauchert
The legacy of Party Of Five can still be felt today. It proved that you can pitch real issues to the teen audience, that they don't want to be talked down to but to share their experiences.
Paste Magazine
Amy Amatangelo
Party of Five was the This is Us of its day. The series dealt with alcoholism, cancer and domestic violence with grace and reached its primarily teenage/young adult audience by never dumbing down its topics.
New York Times
John J. O'Connor
Chris Keyser and Amy Lippman manage to transcend an off-putting concept by making their young characters quite credible and likable as they encounter the obstacles of growing up.
Sioux City Journal
Bruce R. Miller
"Kids alone" may be the big theme of '94 but here it doesn't come off as gimmick. That's because excellent acting gives it strength... Scott Wolf as the middle brother looms as one of the year's breakout stars.
Common Sense Media
Melissa Camacho
Soapy but heartfelt classic series has teen angst, some sex.
AV Club
Emily St. James
Party Of Five wasn't perfect, and it could be a bit much to take in its insistence that we care deeply about everything it presented, but it was incredibly committed to building a world not driven by murder or calamity or death.
News & Observer (Raleigh, NC)
Bob Langford
"Mom and Dad get killed in a car crash so the kids raise themselves." Verdict: How does it sound? You don't need to be a professional TV critic to figure this stuff out
Buffalo News
Alan Pergament
Party of Five is a surprising Fox show with decency, humanity, sentimentality, genuine emotion and a decent music soundtrack.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Robert Bianco
Chalk this up as the season's most pleasant surprise: a quality family drama built around that most dubious of sentimental premises struggling orphans.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Scott D. Pierce
This outstanding drama takes the most horrible of situations and turns it into an intelligent, entertaining, strongly pro-family series.
