Show Summary

Edit Summary »

Sisters introduced us to a group of sisters, Alex (Swoosie Kurtz), Georgie (Patricia Kalember), Teddy (Sela Ward), Frankie (Julianne Phillips) and Charley (Jo Anderson & Sheila Kelley). They dealt with life, love, children, death, divorce, marriage and virtually everything else. All through they were held... more »


The show became a hit with viewers. In the first episode we saw Teddy write the word 'Slut' on her sister Frankie's car, and in the last episode we saw the sisters deal with the death of their mother. The audience got to know and love these sisters...


During it's run, Sisters earned one Emmy, which went to Sela Ward in 1994. In total, it received 5 Emmy nominations. Sisters was nominated for two Golden Globes during its six season run: in 1993 (for Best Series-Drama) and in 1994 (for Best Drama Actress-Sela Ward). Kurtz was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award in 1995 and Ward was nominated in 1996.

    Does anyone know if there are plans to put Sisters out on DVD?:question: I would snatch them up in a second. I loved the show and I have been thinking about all the old shows that have some out recently and am hoping it will be released also.;)

  • Sisters on TV

    I wish a network would air reruns of Sisters. It was my favorite show from Day One. I was so sad when it went off the air and even more sad when I couldn't find it on reruns anywhere. If anyone hears of it on TV please let me know!

    Bring it to dvd!!!

    I looked forward all week long for this show. I was so disappointed when it went off the air. A wonderful cast, great story lines and very enjoyable to watch. hide « show »

    Bring it to DVD - Please!!!!! They have brought shows to DVD that were on TV in the 50's.... what's the hold up? I am an only child and although this was fiction it was a source of entertainment and it gave me a much needed break from being a new mom. The story lines were believable and heart breaking at times as well as funny and heart warming. I didn't have a favorite character or story line; they were all great. I can say that I was especially entertained by John's character. All in all, I miss the show terribly and would very much like to purchase the series on DVD.

    The 90's version of brothers and sisters hide « show »

    This show represents exactly why 90's tv was so good.I was so young when I started watching this show I dont even know how old I was.I use to sit down with my mom and dad and watch it while they watched it.Years later they played the repeats on lifetime and I use to watch them everynight.This show covered everything.Family,love,death and all in a gracefull eliquent way.The scripts and acting were superb I have no idea why this show is not on dvd yet I doubt its because people forgot about it,it is an unforgettable show about an unforgettable family.

    It is a show about 4 sisters very close to each other , but very different from each other..Men may come and go, parents pass away but your siters are with you from cradle to grave.I have never had a show( T. V. or movie ) touch my heart like this one has hide « show »

    I love this show even though it has been 14 years since it was taken off the air..I will never forget how it made me feel I laughed & cried in almost every episode..It was the story of 4 sisters very close to one another , but very different from each other..It is heartwarming and funny and covers all kinds of subject matter from death, cancer, rape and sisters marring other sisters ex-husbands and more done in only a way Sela Ward, Swoosie Kurtz, Patricia Kalember & Julianne Phillaps can do..Please release this show on DVD..
