I have tried to watch this

tried and tried

god they are whiney the rich people

also got annoyed beyond redemption at 'look at me I am Calista Flockhart do a poll about me so I can get stressed and self-obsessed' storyline

gave it up

convince me to go back if you can

also watching Sally Fields load a dishwasher the woman has never done it in her life

I cried the whole way through the twins episode, I was exhausted.

They also seem to meet each other all the time for coffee lunch brunch etc and LA is so big and sprawly how is that possible?

Also is Rebecca evil?

It reminds me how much I loved thirtysomething.

Didn't they get over their dads death very fast even beofre they found out he was an embezeller and cheated on his wife.

The druggie brother annoys me sometime with his slack jaw shocked look.


I think Sally Anne Field is shot thorugh gauze.

Can't be doing with Flockhart and Fields in the same show - can barely deal with them being in the same hemisphere.

All the straight men except The Senator are wet and awful.

I often fastforward through the bits involving Sally Field.

The best bits (and I say that as a world class Ally McBeal Hater, are badinage between Senator and Kitty)

Loved Games Night episode.

But it is so sssssllllllloooowwwww.

The whingey women singers who pipe up at significant moments are v annoying.

The cake fight was silly. Particularly when they broke into tears and laughter and got all soppy over DeadShagPigHubby

I quite like it, mainly because it reminds me of Thirty Something. I've not watched it for a
while, as I got bored of watching them all smugly quaffing red wine out of those enormous glasses.

Sally Ann Field's character is the most annoying. The mistress the least annoying.

I love it - but not the randon Games Night episode. I mean, come on! Talk about stretching the bounds of reality.

And how they are always going on about how "dysfunctional" they are. As if! Apart from asshole dad who had affair with actress bint they are a perfect family (well, normal anyway).

Can't stand Calista Flockhart though she has grown on me as the series has gone on.

Yes Rebecca is evil.

LOVE the Senator
LOVE Justin

I get distracted by Sarah's thick neck.

Have watched it every week waiting for it to get better. And next week is the finale for this series (although series 2 has started in the US, so more on its way)

Disappointed but can't stop watching.

I know I am in the minority here but I LOVE Brothers and Sisters. Do spend large amounts of time waiting to see if Kitty's forehead will ever move or crinkle (have yet to see it happen!!), but love Kevin and the Senators characters, love to hate Holly and Rebecca and found the last episode with the twins almost impossible to watch was blubbing so much.

I think Brothers and Sisters is great - all you have to do is suspend your disbelief just a little more than usual, and when Rob is on remind yourself it's not West Wing!

The slovenly husband who plays guitar and has recently kissed a young woman over the strings - looks like he's not slept for two weeks.

I like Sally Field, Calista and Rachel

can't stand the brothers bar Kevin

don't care about the Tommy twins thing (nympho pregnant wife yuck)

stupid musician husband should just leave

cannot dislike mistress because she reminds me of thirty something.

otherwise quite entertaining in a mindless amusing sort of way

Rebecca is a "piece of work", I d say.

Oh Sally Field and her writing class/professor/old people dating ugh ugh ugh.
She is such an annoying actress.

On Ugly Betty I fast forward through any scenes at Betty's house, tiresome Latino shtick and back to bitchy magazine stuff.
