Amazon.com: 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
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.
Season 3- FINALLY I absolutely love this show and have finished season 3- would love some idea of when season 4 may be released. By far, one of the best drama series of the 90's!!!
Great Season This is a great season. A must have for any fan! Very worth it.
Worth it for Ben Browder & Jennifer Love Hewitt I only bought this DVD because I'm a Ben Browder fan. The acting is very good, but most of the characters are very whiny (fault of the writers, obviously). Often times, you just want to slap them--especially Lacey Chabert's character, and I was so happy when Paula Devicq's character was written out. Again, I must stress that this is obviously the fault of the writers. The best character, by far, is Jennifer Love Hewitt's, as she's exceptionally sincere and sweet (but not in a sickening way). I don't plan on purchasing any other Season, and if this were on TV, I doubt I'd watch it. If you're a fan of the actors, then this would be a worthwhile purchase, but if you want something with exceptional writing, character development, and compelling stories, then I suggest looking to David E. Kelly's work (especially the sublime Picket Fences)
Party of Five Season 3 Yay!!!!!!!!! So glad it was finally released, just wondering why it took so long. Can't wait for season 4; keep 'em coming Sony!!!!!!!
FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT THE SHOW'S GO THROUGH REAL LIFE UP'S & DOWN'S. HOW THE KID'S TRY HARD TO KEEP PEACE WITH EACH OTHER.
