which is better and why?
For me this is a tough one, as i loved both shows, but i would have to go with popular, by just a little bit, only because popular was able to balance comedy and drama and at the same time still be true to it's purpouse which was to first entertain, and then deliver a message, wheras with party of five i think that they tended to focus a little to much on delivering a message, and often forgot about entertaining, although there were times it managed to do both, and very well i might add, ei- the classic INTERVETNION episode, and the classicly written and protrayed depression storyline and the exellant cancer story. The reason that these stories worked is because that they happened to and were responded to in a way that stayed true to what the characters had stoode for up until that point! Towards the end the show often forgot to do that, like with that whole, ridiculous abuse story, first of all It completely condridicted everything that Julia had stood for, after everything she had gone through julia would never let a man push her around like that!
