6. The Byrds of Paradise (1994)

From Imdb:

"A teacher named Sam Byrd and his family take up residence in Hawaii after his wife dies. Harry, Zeke, and Franny each have their own problems accepting the new arrangement and coming to terms with the loss of their mother."

It wasn't nearly as depressing as the description, and starred Timothy Busfield, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Seth Green. It was really good but got the ax after one season. Bummer.
