Time of Your Life is an American teen drama television series starring Jennifer Love Hewitt that aired for one season on Fox from October 25, 1999 to June 21, 2000. A spin-offofParty of Five, the series followed Sarah Reeves Merrin as she moved to New York City to learn more about her biological parents. Co-stars included Jennifer Garner, Pauley Perrette and Gina Ravera.
Time of Your Life debuted on Fox on October 25, 1999, but was later put on an indefinite hiatus that ended up lasting five months due to low ratings. The series returned to the network in June 2000 as a part of its summer schedule, but was soon officially cancelled. As a result, the series' final seven episodes remained unaired in the United States, but were later broadcast in several European countries. GetTV aired the entire series on October 28, 2021.
The series centers on the new life of Hewitt's character Sarah Reeves Merrin as she moves to New York City to learn more about her biological mother's life there before she bore Sarah, while also searching for her biological father. Along the way, Sarah moves into her mother's old apartment and makes a new group of friends. Her first friend is her new roommate Romy Sullivan (Jennifer Garner), a struggling actress.
Time of Your Life first aired on October 25, 1999; it was canceled in the middle of its first season (following a five-month hiatus), 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.
The entire series aired on October 28, 2021 on getTV.
