    I fell in love with the show the moment I watched the first two episodes on a cold winter night. And now winter is here again, and lord how I miss Brothers and Sisters! Yes, the show deals with issues a lot of other shows deal with, but it's like that with every show.
    I haven't yet seen a show with so much warmth out there, and I am afraid I never will. If you expect fast paced drama and some shallow "who-slept-with-whom" issues, then you will probably want to stick to Gossip Girl and the likes. This show is for those who want to relax and enjoy quality TV. You will laugh and cry with the Walkers and if you're open to it, they will trap you and make you a part of their family (or at least make you feel bad for not having four other siblings).
    The bottom line is, if you didn't watch it when it was on, find a way to watch it. You will not regret it.moreless

  • Love it!!

    I really loved to watch this show. Love the cast, almost felt like one of the family. Sorry to see it go. Like many other shows it leaves some room for improving but not enough to get rid of the show. I did feel like I had missed parts of the story line even though I know I had watched every episode and had a hard time hearing some of the dialog as well. Sally Fields has been a part of my life for years I am a huge fan. I will miss seeing your face in my family room. Hope you do something else really soon. Love Gilles Marini, what a hunk.moreless

    I checked this show out because I have enjoyed the movies that Sally Field has done. From the very first episode I didn't like the show. It looked like the writers took a piece of different hit shows and placed it in one show, thinking that it would be a success. For me, not only didn't it work but it was a complete disaster. For starters, the character Sally Field plays is (to put it nicely) nuts or seems like she's gonna have a nervous breakdown any minute. Kitty is fighting with Mom and (of course) Daddy's little girl. Sara and her husband are in counseling. Justin is gay oh and a lawyer. This whole setup bothered me from the beginning because there wasn't one idea in the episodes that I watched that were new. I'm surprised this show was/is on for five years, but for me I quit.moreless

  • Tell me, am I the only fan who is finding this show to be more and more predictable...with the same story arcs and supposed "ironies" occurring again and again?

    By Rhonda_D, May 16, 2011
    Am I the only one who was able to predict everything in this episode before it happened? As soon as they cut to the PTA meeting, I KNEW there would be a conflict between Sarah and her new guy...since there would be no reason to have this scene if there was just going to be more harmony between them.

    Then, of course, Sarah tells everyone it's over and they argued etc, and NOW there's just no way he'll show up at dinner...

    At this point, the writers might as well have just had Sarah say "Gee, I KNOW he'll show up for dinner NOW...So we can all feel warm and cozy about how I was proven wrong cuz' there REALLY are men who want strong women...and now he's here to rescue me from all my cynicism...and oh gosh, even my family thinks he's perfect and it's all just so freakin' perfect...I'm just so bat-sh!t wacky about him..."

    Well, you get the idea.

    Of course, Kitty changing her mind 10,000 times about whether or not she'll run for office is par for the course...and having Robert find out by 'overhearing' everything is more of the same.

    I used to be SURPRISED by this show once in a awhile & now that's no longer the case.

    Either I'm becoming psychic or this show has become incredibly predictable.

    Am I the only who can predict where each episode and story arc are going??

    Here are my predictions as of 1/18/2010:

    1) Of course, Kitty will run for office...and WIN...and Robert will be home with the baby. At first it will all work out great. But after time, Robert will see how difficult and sometimes monotonous it is to be home all the time with a baby.

    This will cause conflict. There may even be a scenario where he starts 'bonding' with a single Mom who's less career-oriented, and she'll help him feel more masculine since he'll practically feel castrated by Kitty's success.

    (the writers will think this is SO ironic and original since Kitty spent time with a single Dad when Robert was Mr. Work-a-holic. Oh my, the roles have reversed...ugh, again, all this role-reversing has become so commonplace that it's NO LONGER ironic...can't the writers come up with other themes???)

    2) This to me is blatantly obvious...the girl having Scotty and Kevin's baby will want to keep the baby at some point. Her 19 year old boyfriend will encourage her to do so...he'll want to marry her too. She may or may not keep the baby in the end, but all the drama will revolve around her decision. If she decides to 'do the right thing', there will be a giant dinner of course, lots of tears and rejoicing. No doubt, there will be the obligatory scene, where Nora has a conversation with her, says the magic words and turns it all around...now Mommy can be the hero once again. Kitty might even pay her a visit and give her some sort of dramatic lecturing the way Kitty always seems to do.

    If she DOES go ahead and keep the baby, it will crush Scotty and Kevin, jeopardize their relationship and cause endless drama.moreless
