8 TV Shows That Prove the 90s Were the Golden Age of Teen Dramas
Teen dramas have been a staple of American television for decades, but they were never quite as varied and realistic as those of the 1990s.
Party of Five
What if you took the standard big family show, where the home serves as a microcosm for the rest of the world, and removed the parents? Instead of having kids of various ages encounter their unique problems and slowly realizing their parents don't have all the answers, they have to quickly learn how to figure this stuff out on their own. That's what Party of Five is about. At the time, if a family existed without parents, it was seen as a tragedy that the outside world is meant to pity or rescue the children from. Instead of falling into that tired trope, the show depicts how to work through tragedy together. It's a positive and important message that other shows simply took for granted.

It’s definitely one of the best IMO

I haven’t watched any new episodes since the beginning of last year

Found this in an old Chicken Soup book for the teen soul today at the school I work at

Idk if I’m the only one who grew up reading those books too

But this is definitely a time capsule flashback from the past if you look at the right side

26 Best ’90s TV Shows We Still Love Today
Party of Five (1994–2000)
The sad and serious story of the Salinger orphans was the polar opposite of network mate 90210‘s glossy Spelling-curated lifestyles of the rich and famous. When their parents are killed by a drunk driver, eldest brother Charlie (a pre-Lost Matthew Fox) is forced to come home and become an instant parent to Bailey (Scott Wolf), Julia (Neve Campbell), Claudia (Lacey Chabert) and infant Owen while fighting insurance companies, paying bills and dealing with his own alcoholic demons.

The other kids in the Party of Five clan dealt with their own dilemmas and depression as the years went on, seemingly hitting all the hot-button issues du jour, including date rape, peer pressure, grief, abortion, college applications and illness. It was a heavy watch, but unlike many teen TV shows, the Golden Globe winner didn’t infantilize its young audience, was conscientiously acted and was written like a prestige drama.
