JOeH.Jun 30, 200710I cannot believe all the homophobic comments! I mean, the gay thing makes me want to watch it more! Especially the kissing!

WallaceGOct 9, 200610I think this is a great show. It really draws out emotions that Im sure most of our society deals with on a daily basis. Its nice to finally have a show that people can truly relate on a real level. And for Valerie C...the song that ended the eposide on 10-1-06 was "Heart of the Matter" by India Arie

MelodyApr 2, 200710The homophobic comments by various other writers on this site are appalling. Terrific adult show with complex characters and relationships.

AndyOct 10, 20069Valerie, the song last Sunday was "The Heart of the Matter" by india.arie. It is a cover of a Don Henley song.

cheryldOct 2, 20069I really enjoyed the first show., but the second one was great and very unexpected. I think people will eventually pick up on the exciting drama. it was a good replacement for grey.s anatomy (in which i am a big fan of.

JeffreySOct 2, 200610This show will bring back the idea of not having enough big names to a show.

danielkOct 2, 200610Very good show, most characters have alot of potential. Sally Field is outstanding. Hopefully ABC will let it grow in it's proven timeslot and not start moving it around like it did with Alias. Speaking of Alias I keep waiting for Ron Rifkin to go into a private room and hatch some evil plot.

ChadWJan 10, 200710My favorite show on tv. Watching one show midseason hooked me. I went back and watched all the others. Sally Field is captivating. Finally a show with real characters and a lack of gimmicks. It is the best thing I've seen in years.

FrankAFeb 10, 200710The best new show on TV (along with UGLY BETTY!)

-
BelindaSFeb 22, 200710Compelling family series. Hope they won't copy Ally McBeal's love stories. It's brothers' and sisters' show after all.

carolaFeb 8, 200710This show is funny, cleaver, and it really holds my attention. I am hoping that it will be continued for another season as it has been my favorite show this season. The acting and the writing have been outstanding. I an particularly glad that it can be watched in streaming videoon the computer.

SahilJun 1, 200710Incredibly Addictive, Very smart, Extremely good acting, Culturally relevant...in short, the Best show on TV. Any review that finds the interactions unnatural has either far too functional of a family, or far too dysfunctional, because the awkward and tense but loving dynamics are pulled off flawlessly. I'm so impressed!

RacheliG.Oct 28, 200810An amazing drama, from the kind we don't have any more on TV. A great acting from all the cast and well scripted show. I cant wait for the next episode, especially now that Justin and Rebbecca are together.

KadeKOct 5, 20069Excellent show and thoroughly enjoyable. I think it'll work out the kinks that others might find to be negatives as time goes on. It is about time a show with real problems came on. Brothers and Sisters is a great addition to the TV airwaves, as opposed to all of these pseudo-reality shows.

ValerieCOct 5, 200610I love this show, it's so real to everyday family life. I am looking for the name of the song that ended the show on 10-01-06 (last Sunday)

KatherineCSep 25, 200610I really enjoyed the premeire although it is a soap. I though it had great production values and a terrific cast. I'm looking forward to the next episode.
-
-
KenHSep 26, 20069The first show had a lot of exposition, which is necessary with a big cast/multi-storied undertaking. I'm very hopeful that the seasoned professionals on this show will make this appointment viewing.

DevonSJan 30, 200710Think of how high the average would be if STUPID homophobes would stop posting on here.. Well, heres my thought on you homophobes, dont watch the show, oh and by the way THE BIBLE says not to judge, but it is all you people EVER do.. This show is a great show, and definitely the best family drama EVER...

LauraMay 22, 200710I am absolutely in love with this show. The Walker family is one to watch, see how they grow and love each other through everything. Witty, emotional, and real.

veronical.Jun 7, 200710brilliant show -- just wanted to say that jeff w's homophobic review is so sad. i not only admire but also enjoy the gay storylines on the show, and i hope that one day folks like jeff realise how normal homesexuality is, and get over their prejudice.

GuyDJul 19, 200710Who are all these sad old fashioned out-of-touch pitiful homophobic people...? why are they so scared?? It's a good show, well acted, and incredibly entertaining.

-
AnneNMar 25, 200810Loved it! Absolutely great cast. Didn't think I could ever watch Rob Lowe again after his sex debacle with the 15 year old, but i get past it. Sally Fields carries it, I think. She is just so wonderful to watch perform. And, Glover, ain't bad.

-
jenniferNov 7, 20069I love this show. Finally there is a decent drama on television. It is almost like a glimpse into the daily lives of this family instead of some fluffed up silly comedy drama. It is a much needed change of pace.

-
LaurieWDec 22, 20069This is going to end up being one of my favorite shows. I would have rated it a 10 except that Callista gets on my nerves a little too much in some of her scenes. Sally Field is great in this. I hope that this one stays in the line-up.
-
-
JaneLDec 28, 20069I have only a few programs I watch regularly, and Brothers and Sisters is one of them. It's not too heavy, entertaining, and very real.

markpSep 29, 200610Really love this - Calista and Sally are a great casting choice. I can't wait to see where it goes.

60On the glossy surface, it’s an earnestly predictable but impeccably produced soap opera. [13 Sep 2006]
-
50The pilot was reshot, and it shows--the timing lurches and scenes grind into each other. [22 Sep 2006, p.90]
-
30The show seems as if it desperately yearns to be a worthy companion to "Housewives" but lacks the requisite bite, despite political references meant to feel edgy that prove mostly banal.
