   Summary: Great Gift for Teenage Girls
My teenage daughter is too young to remember when this series was first on the air, but she absolutely loves watching the DVDs of seasons 1 & 2. She can't wait for season 3 to be released.

   Summary: Party of Five - 2nd season
This was an excellent show so I am enjoying seeing them again a few years later - minus the advertisements!

   Summary: Full of heart, truth and drama
I've been waiting a long time for this show to be released on DVD. Party of Five is one of those rare TV-Shows, where you feel every second with the characters - without them being overdrawn or unrealistic. It is an honest show where everyone can relate.
In season 2 the family experience again all the human emotions. From the joy of charlies wedding, to julias unwantet pregnancy, nearly loosing the restaurant, to finally finding a long lost family member.
I can't wait for season 3 to be releases!

   Summary: Extremely Disappointed with Music Changes
Let me start by saying that I was a huge fan of Party of Five when it originally aired, and I still am a huge fan. I have seasons 1 & 2 on DVD and will most likely buy season 3 if it is released. It's a GREAT show. I would say it's in my top 3 television shows of all time.

Serious fans from when it was originally broadcast will know that the careful selection of wonderful music was something that took an already great show to another level. I became familiar with quite a few excellent musicians via the show, including Nanci Griffith, Chris Isaak & Vonda Shepard (this was before she was a regular on Ally McBeal).

Two of the most memorable scenes for me that have music changes are when Julia meets up with Griffin at the coffee shop early in season 2 (I think it was in Dearly Beloved) the song originally aired was Somebody's Crying by Chris Isaak. The second and more unforgiveable change for me was during the surprise ending of the final episode of season 2. I don't want to give anything away, but the song that is supposed to play is Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel. It was just perfect with that scene. If you are seeing Party of Five for the first time via this DVD set, you are really missing out.

I read the reviews here when season 2 was released, and perhaps that is why I did not buy it right away - there is one earlier review that warns about music changes. When I finally decided to buy season 2 I did not remember the warning. I probably would have eventually bought the set, but it would have been less of a shock to see the altered version.

A couple of smaller complaints... There were a few scenes with Carroll O'Connor and Lacey Chabert (Claudia) - I don't remember the exact episode - when the shots from one of the cameras was pretty grainy. It was very noticeable when they switched between cameras. Seems like they could have remastered that. The other complaint is the menu listing episodes. It would have been nice to have a list of all the episodes for a disc on the same screen, and easier navigation between episodes. It was a bit cumbersome to me.

I would still recommend the show, and I hope that subsequent seasons are released.

If anyone's listening who has control over these things - I would be willing to buy a new version of season 2 if they re-released it with the original music, even though I already have season 2 on DVD. At least put a notice on the current version that the episodes are not as originally aired.
