I'm a big fan of this show. It's funny, it's romantic, So much drama in it. It somehow shows us that no matter what, Family will always be family. The acceptance of everyone in every condition, helping each other even though sometimes mess things up.If you're looking drama with light story, this should be it. It's a pity that it end in season 5.There are 2 episodes that I think should be highlighted. (Maybe because it's the freshest in my mind right now)Season 4 - Ep 5 "Last Tango in Pasadena" The scene where Luc teaching Justin dance and The siblings watching Luc swimming is hilarious. I can't stop laughing.Season 5 - Ep 6 "An Ideal Husband" This episode is after Kevin know that Scotty cheated. Kevin punched Rob roy and Soctty prevent Kevin from beating Marcus. The big scene is where Kevin said he's in pain and Scotty made him like this and he's supposed to be the one who love him more than anything. Literally the scene made me feel really emo. Matthew Rhys act is melting people's heart here.Nearing the finale of the 5th season, the show made some twisted story, where Nora said she told william the truth to drive him away, It doesn't make any sense at all. They had 4 more children after sarah and remembering the story where She felt betray knowing about Holly Harper is the reaction of loving someone. Not because she stuck in the family.Other than that, I love this Series.

Hello everybody! I have just seen all the episodes of Brothers and sisters and I have to say that I fell in love with Nora and the family. Nothing would please me more than knowing that a new season would be released. It is true that I would rather see Robert than Seth but anything if the series would come back. Please, please, please . . . I miss all of them and there is still a lot to say, share and tell . . . Please, bring back Brothers and sisters . . . I think many of us miss the Walker family!!!!! I know this is difficult by the actors and actresses are amazing and in my opinion you learn a lot about family problems, family values while watching this show. It is important how different point of views are shown and how important is to respect them although you do not share them. Again, I fell in love with the Walker family and I regret not knowing about the series before to have been able to request the channel to continue with it . . .

I watched this show AFTER it had been axed already. I was bored and just decided to watch something that is pretty well-known, but I haven't seen anything about. So I saw "Brothers And Sisters" running on Fox Life. Started from the very beginning and watched EVERY SINGLE episode.This show is everything that I could've possibly wanted! AMAZING actors, PERFECT for the roles! All of the family members grew on you pretty quickly (Can't get rid of them now). It was just such an amazing show. It had drama, comedy, surprises and its sad moments where you had to hold yourself back from bursting out crying.I do have to admit, that I was a bit disappointed how they continued the story from season 5. It almost felt like someone else was the writer for this show, because it felt for me that the characters of some of the main characters had slightly changed. Even though there was a reason, I felt sad seeing some of my favourite characters getting distant. But season 5 was still amazing! You had to get used to it and it grew on you once again. They had some of the funniest bits in that season. And the finale made you wanna scream: "NOOOOO I NEED SOME MOOORE EPISODES PLEAAAASE".I'm still glueless why ABC axed it, a very stupid decision I think, the ratings weren't that bad at all. For me, it's the best TV show I've ever seen and I've seen a lot of TV shows.

I'm giving the show 8 out of 10, because through seasons 1-4, it was excellent TV. I really don't understand what has happened with season 5. First of all, the 1 year time jump, while it worked on Desperate Housewives and to a lesser extent, One Tree Hill, it really didn't work here. The events of the 'year' between seasons 4 and 5 seemed quite interesting, so why not just continue the show as normal and have these events, and others, play out over the season. The following are just some of the things that have recently been annoying me:Why keep Robert on life support for a year, only to have him killed off in the first episode anyway? If Rob Lowe was leaving the show at the end of season 4, have season 5 open with his funeral. Hollys' memory loss was just silly and a waste of Patricia Wettigs' talents. To end up having her leave the show half way through the season as well without regaining her memory just seemed completely pointless.And don't even get me started on the Scotty having an affair debacle! Kevin and Scotty have never been the perfect couple, but for this revelation to be just thrown in at the end of an episode for no apparent reason really p****d me off, and just made me think the writers through a curve ball without really thinking it through. Why not show the event actually happening and bring it up later on rather than just slotting it in for shock value. It happened before with Joe & Rebecca, Tommy & Lena and Kitty and the park guy (can't remember his name).Now, for my main gripe. The budget cuts on the show have never been more apparent than in season 5. There are less and less parties being held or attended, less exterior shots. Cast members suddenly disappear for episodes at a time (most likely joining the child actors in the cupboard). The main thing I have always liked about the show was the big family meals, or arguments, or even the huge phone calls between all of most of the cast at any one time. All of these things that made the show so great seem to have been put to the side in exchange for scenes featuring only a couple of cast members, lacking in drama or comedic value.The writing this season has been lackadaisical, to put it mildly! I will continue to faithfully watch the show as I care about the characters and have done since episode 1. I only hope the show gets another season and perhaps a bit more money from ABC so it can make a creative comeback and perhaps go out with a bang!
