Time of Your Life is an American drama series starring Jennifer Love Hewitt. The series is a spin-off of Party of Five, and features the character Sarah Reeves Merrin whom Hewitt portrayed on Party of Five.

Plot

The show centers on the new life of Hewitt's character in New York City as she tries to find out more information about her biological mother's life in New York City before she bore Sarah, and search for her biological father. Along the way, Sarah moves into her mother's old apartment and makes a new group of friends.

Cast and characters

Debut and cancellation

Time of Your Life first aired on October 25, 1999; it was canceled in the middle of its first season, on June 21, 2000. Despite Hewitt's popularity at the time, the show was not well received and had poor ratings.[1] The original pilot for the show was completely re-shot and largely rewritten before Fox would air it.[2]

Fox tried to save the show by putting it on a hiatus that lasted five months.[3] Fox promoted the return of the show in June 2000 as part of its "Summer of Love," a reference to Hewitt's name.[4] However, despite the promotion, ratings for the series' return episode remained low, and it was immediately canceled, with seven episodes remaining unaired in the United States; they were later broadcast in several European countries.

After Fox cancelled the series, TBS finally aired the seven remaining episodes, also known as "Time of Your Life: The Final Seven", from March 4, 2006 to April 8, 2006.
