Brothers & Sisters

 

A great new drama series with Calista Flockheart (Ally McBeal) and Sally Field. I'm a fan :wub:

 

Brothers and Sisters is a compelling, new one-hour primetime drama from executive producers Ken Olin and playwright Jon Robin Baitz about the California-based Walker family. In the series, we meet a collection of incredibly intertwined and somewhat damaged adult siblings who embrace one another unconditionally while striving to reflect the perceived perfection of their role model parents. In the days ahead, they will navigate waves of temptation, deception and grief.

 

Brothers and Sisters follows the Walkers through the maze of American life today -- the pressures, limitless options and the struggle to grow beyond our backgrounds into ourselves. Through these fascinating siblings -- Sarah (Rachel Griffiths), the corporate VP struggling to balance motherhood with career; Tommy (Balthazar Getty), the loyal son and seeming heir to the family business; Kevin (Matthew Rhys), the gay lawyer cautiously learning about love; Justin (Dave Annable), the baby of the family, grappling with war trauma and addiction; and Kitty (Calista Flockhart), right-wing radio host turned TV pundit who has always been Daddy's little girl -- the show explores what it means to be a family in the 21st century, and how these brothers and sisters balance their own lives as they strive to accept their parents as people -- flawed, contradictory and forgivable -- rather than just as a father and mother.

 

The parents are Tom Skerritt as William Walker, the larger-than-life patriarch and president of the family business, and Sally Field as Nora Holden, the opinionated wife and mother to the five Walker siblings. Then there's Ron Rifkin as Saul Holden, Nora's brother and the company's second in command; John Pyper-Ferguson as Sarah's husband, Joe; Sarah Jane Morris as Tommy's wife, Julia; and Patricia Wettig as the mystery woman who could bring the Walkers and their company down.

 

Brothers and Sisters stars Calista Flockhart (Ally McBeal) as Kitty, Rachel Griffiths (Six Feet Under) as Sarah, Sally Field (Norman Rae) as Nora Holden, Ron Rifkin (Alias) as Saul Holden, Patricia Wettig (thirtysomething) as Holly, Balthazar Getty (Alias) as Thomas, Dave Annable (Reunion) as Justin, Matthew Rhys (Titus, Love and other Disasters) as Kevin, John Pyper-Ferguson (Unforgiven, Nightstalker) as Joe, Sarah Jane Morris (Felicity) as Julia, Emily VanCamp (Everwood) as Rebecca Harper and Kerris Lilla Dorsey as Paige.

 

Ken Olin (Alias, thirtysomething), Jon Robin Baitz (The Substance of Fire, The West Wing) and Greg Berlanti (Everwood) are executive producers. The series is produced by Touchstone Television.

 

 

 

 

i've heard about this :D

 

but i always thought Calista was a pretty awful actress all round really. Ally Mcbeal was good when it first started, but then got c**p.

 

dont think i will be checking this out in a rush. :(

Thats a shame as its really good.

This looks really good, it's on on Wednesday between two episodes of BB, and then the second is on after BB and the third after that on E4. :lol: I rarely/never like the look of an American show, so I'm quite looking forward to this. :D

This had some mixed reviews :o Im going to watch, Calissa Flockhart is hot :P

I watched the whole season since it was over with in May here. I actually enjoyed it a lot and I don't normally like a new show (it was on after Desperate Housewives so why not?). :lol: It became one of my favorite and one of the few shows I watch on TV regularly. ^_^

I'm gonna watch this, it looks good :D

On tommorrow :w00t: I really want to watch this, looks good. What a line-up of stars, Sally field :wub: Calista flockhart, Rob Lowe and loads more :o Looks great ^_^

MAY WATCH THIS TONITE LYKK

Im pretty excited, it will do nicely to tide us over whilst Desp Housewives is off the screens. Calista is hot :wub:

 

This is really good! The 3 main actresses in particular are all absolutely brilliant.

Brothers and Sisters

i actually liked it. i thought i wouldnt but it was alright. what better way to start a series than killing a main character :w00t:

Always goes down well doesn't it? :lol: I'm looking forward to the next episode, it seems like quite a calm show for an American one. Actually calm isn't the right word... just more, well realistic I guess.
