Brothers and Sisters’ creator fired?
Awhile ago TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello reported that ABC would be firing a major executive from a popular television series considering of relentless backstage fighting and tensions. After Elton is now reporting that Ausiello was probably talking about Jon Robin Baitz, the openly homosexual creato…

(S02E09) “We could wake up tomorrow, and it could all go to hell.”– Robert McAllister
I have to confess: I would have owed Tommy $100. But not for the same reasons as Kevin and Justin. I will get to that in a bit though. Was it just me, or did that episode have some editing glitches? One minut…

“Well, I’m a democrat, and I lost my virginity to “She’s Got Legs.”– Sarah Walker
Did everybody lose their virginity to a song? I don’t remember whether I did or not, but whether you want to share yours, feel free. I loved it when Robert walked in and Nora asked him what song was playing when …

“Well, who’d chain you the radiator and poke you with a stick?” Sarah, knitting.
Meh. that episode was fine. It wasn’t special. It was just kind of… filler. And I don’t mean to cast aspersions on the show at all: That is what shows do main up to November sweeps. They can’t have anything …

“I didn’t want that baby.”– Robert McAllister
I am starting to regret every date I have criticized the show for being too prone to hijinks and slapstick, considering after the past two episodes, I would love to have Robert’s crazy family show up again so they can all jump into the pool. T…

”That shrimp smells rancid.”– Kitty Walker
Oooh, that was a painful episode to watch. In a good way. The writing was absolutely spot on for that episode, and it was just gorgeously played. Some things happened that I expected and some things that I didn’t, which I will get into after the j…
Brothers and Sisters: States of the Union
I tend to separate Brothers and Sisters episodes into light and dark episodes these days, even though every episode certainly has elements of both. final week was pretty dark, and that was a relatively light episode, though, thankfully, they kept the slapstick to a minimum. that episode definitely e…
Brothers and Sisters: The total First Season - DVD review
I don’t know whether you caught the little Brothers and Sisters song-and-dance pre-season-premiere show that fall. I believe you can catch it online whether you didn’t see it on air. I am being a little smarmy about that pre-show considering one of my fears about Brothers and Sisters is that: Their …
Brothers and Sisters: History Repeating

My TiVo didn’t start taping that episode on instance, so I missed about the first three minutes of the show when I was putting my kids to bed. whether I missed something meaningful, please forgive me (and let me know in the comments!).
Tonight was a more Tommy-centric episode, and was addit…
Brothers and Sisters: An American Family
Filed under: OpEd, Brothers and Sisters, Episode Reviews(S02E02) My husband tells me that Heather Havrilesky has written in Salon that Brothers and Sisters is manipulative. She writes, “‘Brothers & Sisters’ is emotional Frogger. Luckily, I loathe these beautiful, wealthy, loving, empathetic huma…
Brothers and Sisters: domestic Front (season premiere)

The Walker family is back, with bells on. Wedding bells, that is. The episode is nicely framed within two video letters to Justin Walker, who is in Iraq. Nora, the fabulous and Emmy-award winning Sally Field, sits before her computer and tells Justin what everyone is up to, which is a nice wa…

Brothers and Sisters: Matriarchy (season finale)
Just like I think that episode was probably so much better in the writers’ heads. Last week was a brilliant, beautiful episode, and I wish they had just stopped with that. I am struggling with a huge bias here though: I HATE slapstick. In fact, in my mind, last week’s episode is just going to be …
Brothers and Sisters: Favorite Son
I was crying about William and soon after I saw the scenes for next week and that just made it worse. that episode was just excellent. Give me a minute to stop crying after that episode. They hit every note.Continue reading Brothers and Sisters: Favorite Son Permalink | Email this&…
