Party of Five on the CW

[mtnagel]

Probably a long shot, but does anyone know when they start over with episode 1? The guide only gives a generic description, so I can't figure out which show they are on?

It's not on the CW. It's in syndication. Some shows have syndicated websites. Google it.

And I have tried searching for it, but I can't find anything, that's why I tried here. I can find it in the guide on Directv, but it doesn't give enough information to see what episode they are on. I recorded Monday's hoping that I'll be able to figure out which episode it is and then figure how long until the end of the run and then hopefully they will start over with the first episode.

There might be some confusion here. Party of Five may be shown on The CW in Cincinnati but it is not a CW show. CinCW bought the rights to show Party of Five in Cincinnati just like a NBC station in Dallas bought the rights to show in Dallas or an ABC station in Memphis bought it to show in Memphis(used as examples only).

I went to Yahoo tv listings for Cincinnati's CW at it showed a generic listing so I can assume that The CW is not passing on episode info to various listing companies. I can only suggest that you try and match up the episode by watching it and comparing it to the episode guide in this link. http://www.tv.com/party-of-five/show/194/summary.html

What do you mean it's not on the CW? It's playing on Cincinnati's CW (http://www.cincw.com/CinCWschedule2006.aspx). Your CW affiliate may be showing Po5, but that has nothing to do with the CW network. CW provides national content during prime time for 5 or 6 nights a week, and your local affiliate is on its own how to fill up the rest of the time. I would guess that Po5 was picked up by your local station in syndication, which is why you can watch it "on the CW" (but really on your CW affiliate), while my local CW affiliate is not currently showing Po5.

I would suggest you call your local station and ask them when they cycle back to season 1.

I was confused by that.

I will just try to match it up by watching an episode and then calculating when they should start over (hopefully they are starting over).

The CW is a network. It has affiliates, one of which is a digital subchannel in Cincinnati. The network only feeds programming at certain times of the day. The things that are "on the CW" are the things that air from 8p-10p Monday through Friday, and from 7p-10p on Sunday.

Everything else that airs on your local affiliate at all other times of the day is coming from some source other than the CW (usually from a syndicator). The local station (not the network) is negotiating with someone to buy the rights from the show.

Things that might be on your CW affiliate are not necessarily on the CW affiliates in other cities. The owner of the Party of Five reruns did not negotiate with the CW network to air them. They negotiated with the Cincinnati affiliate, and independently with other stations in other cities (who may or may not be affiliates of the CW or of another network).

Thanks for the clarification. More than I needed to know, but good to know.
