Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The five-disc DVD set includes all 25 episodes from the third season which features guest stars Carroll O’Connor (TV’s All in the Family, Return to Me), Jeremy London (Mallrats, Gods and Generals), and Marla Sokoloff (Dude, Where’s My Car?).
This season presents a whole new set of life-changing and soul-searching moments. Some of the emotional roller-coaster issues include the unpleasant consequences of Kristin losing her Ph.D. after plagiarizing; Charlie’s realization that the good old days of high school might have been more old than good; and Julia dealing with her guilt after a friend’s suicide. In addition, Claudia authorizes a $3,000 plumbing repair, and the family bands together to help Bailey confront his drinking problem.

Lots of changes are in store for the Salinger family in Party of Five: The Complete Third Season. Over 25 episodes, the San Francisco-based siblings, survivors of parents who died at the series' beginning, confront some of the most difficult issues anyone has to deal with, from depression to alcoholism, breakups, dishonesty, separation and much more. The season kicks off with a bang as eldest brother and surrogate father Charlie (Matthew Fox) suddenly finds the mother of his girlfriend Kirsten (Paula Devicq) staying with them for several days due to marital problems. Given that their guest has never given--and still will not give--Charlie a break on anything, the fact that he is more empathetic about her plight than Kirsten is surprises even him. Meanwhile, Bailey (Scott Wolf) tries too hard to have a final adventure with his best friend before the two are separated by college plans. Traveling in Mexico with their girlfriends (including Bailey's longtime date, Sarah, played by Jennifer Love Hewitt), the old buddies have a series of disasters, culminating in the disappearance of Bailey's jeep. While that's going on, Julia (Neve Campbell) discovers her eccentric boyfriend, Griffin (Jeremy London), is back in town and hasn't contacted her for reasons unknown. Not to be outdone, little sister Claudia (Lacey Chabert) claims to have a boyfriend that no one has actually met--until, one day, he shows up at the door.
During the rest of the season, Julia and Griffin will struggle to figure their relationship out, growing apart and then back together, leaving one another far too often, and finally deciding on a permanent solution that makes for a touching finale. Kirsten's career ambitions threaten to throw a wrench into her relationship with Charlie, until her new doctoral degree and teaching job at a Monterey college are undone by the discovery that she plagiarized part of her dissertation. Her ensuing depression makes for dark and lonely times, and ushers in more than one relationship drama for Charlie before season's end. Restless Bailey struggles to find his way as a college man, stooping to some ambiguous ethics and discovering, almost tragically, that he has a serious drinking problem that affects his romance with Sarah and his status as a promising wrestler on the school's team. Little Claudia chafes against the amount of adult responsibility being placed on her shoulders, and a new woman in Charlie's life brings a lot of promise and a lot of emotional confusion. All that, and people still ask the Salinger offspring if they're related to you-know-who: that famous author guy. --Tom Keogh

Sure, you can complain about some of these characters doing dumb things--Charlie trying to bring the depressed Kirsten back with disastrous results, Bailey turning to alcohol for relief, and Julia marrying Griffin, of all people. But they're only human and they make some big mistakes. This is a good exploration of how hard it is to treat depression and get past it, how alcoholism can destroy so many others, and how doing things on impulse usually isn't such a great idea.
Just a few questions about some plot holes: Where did Bailey get the money for his rent? Where did Julia get any money at all? Who watches Owen when all the older sibs are not at home?
Rated by buyers -
Possibly the best written and acted television series of the 90's, Party of Five boasted a strong cast of young actors. Matthew Fox, Jennifer Love-Hewitt, Neve Campbell, Scott Wolf and Lacey Chabert bring the drama in this third season installment of the show.
The five disc set includes all 25 episodes, including the powerful Intervention.
If you were a fan of the series, it hasn't lost any of its punch in the last decade or so. If you missed it the very first time around, you'll find it as moving and relevant as it was in it's day.
A can't miss pick.

You won't find any show left on TV like this one. Real characters, interesting stories, great writing, real acting. Can't wait for the rest of the seasons to come out on DVD! I bought all three seasons as I had only seen a few episodes when this show was on. It is so much better than watching all the stupid reality shows on right now.

"Party Of Five": Quite simply one of the best television shows ever to air. The writing and the acting are very first rate and the fact that it still holds up so well after 10+ years is testament to to the quality of this show. Hats off to Fox for sticking with this perpetually low rated show for six seasons. This is one for the ages.
