‘Party of Five’s Scott Wolf Reflects on How TV Guide Magazine Cover ‘Moved the Needle’ (VIDEO)

Scott Wolf has played quite a few characters over the years that we’re sure fans know him best as. But even if you never watched Party of Five in the ’90s, you likely at least know that was one of his major roles. So in honor of the 25th anniversary of the series finale (May 3, 2000), when Wolf stopped by TV Insider’s office to discuss his Doc role in-depth, we had him look back at a cover of TV Guide Magazine from December 9, 1995, for that family drama.

“This is the throwback of throwbacks for TV Guide Magazine. I’ve talked about this edition for years. ‘The Best Show You’re Not Watching,'” he said, quoting the magazine. “It was this honor, but also this weird honor. It’s like, you’re the best of the not happenings, but we also knew that the whole point of it was to talk about the fact that we were an endangered series, that not enough people were watching and our ratings weren’t high enough. What’s bananas is, this was in 1994, so I want to say we had 13 million viewers every week, but because there was so fewer — all these streaming services didn’t exist, 13 million was just a death knell you were going to get canceled.”
