The Byrds of Paradise

I wholesome family show that looked a healing from a family tragedy, the duality in Hawaiian culture, and beautiful settings. Timothy Busfield starred, with Seth Green and Jennifer Love Hewett as two of his children. Bruce Weitz and Arlo Guthrie were regulars. Steven Bochco responded to a comment that there were no family shows any more: "I made Byrds of Paradise, and nobody watched it."

I, too, miss Byrds of Paradise, one of the all-time great TV shows-- predictably short-lived. Even though I've forgotten most of the details, what lives on in memory is the Mood of the show! And a view of Hawaii never seen before.

Kinda nice to run across so many folks who actually remember it! I feel as though I'd found members of my endangered species after wandering endlessly around the entertainment wasteland all alone...so very alone...

One of the most beautiful and evocative musical performances I've ever heard or seen was Arlo Guthrie's with a Hawaiian musician (or musicians)on Byrds of Paradise. Don't remember name of episode, name of music, name of Hawaiian musician(s), or kind of instrument(s)(ukulele, guitar, both?). I want to hear it again! Can anyone help?

sadly enough, I remember when this show was one, and have been talking about it for years, yet no one ever remembers it's existance. I'm glad to see here that I wasn't going mad, and that the series did exist. From what I can remember, it was a really great show. I don't remember why or anything......sadly enough. Wish it would make a come back in the reruns.

As far as I can remember this was a great show. Weird to some content, maybe? I call that originality. And believe me that's exactly what's missing in TV-shows today in the same category.. errmm... family soap for teens(?). ;)

If it was up to me I'd rather watch Byrds of Paradise than Party of Five. Don't get me wrong. PoF is watchable for the most parts, but I considered BoP had some real potential... Well, I suppose we get what we deserve.

Check this out if you ever get the chance.

This was an entertaining show from what I remember.

I was about 12 years old and enjoyed it.

I also completely fell in love with Jennifer Love Hewitt so much that I watched party of five even though I did not like it.

She was the best thing a preteen could hope for And still is for that matter.

I started watching Ghost Whisperer for her but kept watching because it is a pretty good show.

Jennifer Love Hewitt is a pretty good actress

I don't know why she does not get offered better roles.

With her body you don't even have to be a great actress
