Brothers & Sisters

MsRubio · 09-24-2006

Okay...so I just watched this show...It definately got my attention...but Michael wouldn't watch it...

....I can't believe a big star like Tom Skerrit was killed off in the first episode...

...and I am not a fan of Calista Flockhart...but I really like Sally Field and think this show has a chance....any thoughts?

The cast

the show premise...
An LA-based Walker family is an ordinary American family. The adult siblings ... Sarah Whedon...works in the family business....along with Tommy Walker...who also works in the family food business... Kevin Walker..the gay brother... Justin Walker...a war vet... and Kitty Walker..a conservative... try to live up to their parents' expectations. Alongside their mother Nora Holden, Nora's brother Saul Holden, doing something shady with the family business...Sarah's husband Joe Whedon...who no longer finds her attractive and they are in counseling... Tommy's wife Julia Walker and mysterious Holly Harper...who starred in "Thirty Something"... Patricia Wettig...the Walkers struggle through their everyday lives.

I watched it Monica. Tom and Sally...just like in Steel Magnolias. I too am not a fan of Calista Flockhart. I think it could have potential

I gotta watch something now on Sunday nite..since they moved Grey's Anatomy

Well it follows Desperate Housewives...and I always watch that show...

...so no need to change the channel....

I didn't get to watch the whole show! But what I did see, I was shocked he died too! Looks like a good show so far!

I watched "Brothers and Sisters." It reminded me a bit of the movie "The Family Stone." But I did like this premiere because there are some good actors in it. I am not a fan of Calista Flockart either. Friday night, Jay Leno interveiwed Flockhart and I was surprised that I liked her in the interview. I was very surprised that Tom Skerritt was killed off on the first show. He's such a good actor. Also, it has been quite awhile since I had watched "Desperate Housewives." It was very good as well. I guess that I will be watching both shows on Sunday.

I gave up on it after the first 20 minutes. Not a Sally Field, Tom Skerritt, or Calista fan.

Wish I had watched it. Would've been more fun than watching the Patriots try to play football.

monte · 09-25-2006

Fell asleep during this show. I guess it didn't grab and hold on to my attention. Now, desperate housewives is a different story

Had no desire to watch it but did by default. I actually enjoyed it. Good cast even though I have never seen some of them before. I too,am on the "do not like Callista Flockhart" band wagon! But she was pretty good. Looked old, though.

I thought she did some great acting in this show. Indeed, she does look more mature. Actually, I think she looks better. Her face doesn't look as emaciated as it did on "Ally McBeal."

I also watched it by default cuz I watch Desperate Housewives so I figured I'd check it out since nothing else was on. I'm not a Calista fan so I was worried that could ruin it. She wasn't as annoying as Ally McBeal days, and I agree she looked a little old. I wasn't surprised about killing the day off cuz I think I read something about the parents not being in the whole season, not sure if Sally Field is going to be on the whole season either. I noticed she wasn't in that cast photo. For the most part I liked it, I'll give it a chance and see where it goes.

I really liked the show and was not surprised dad was killed off on the first episode. On Desperate Housewives, Paul's wife (?) committed suicide early on and her voice is still on the show. Maybe this show will be that way, too.
I am glad to have something to watch after Desperate Housewives and it's especially nice to start it from the get go.

I only watch the Steelers. Not real proud of it at this point, but it's early. They are usually over before Desperate Housewives.

I liked this show even more after the second episode. Sally Fields performance brought me to tears!
