First Look: Brothers and Sisters Season Three

BuzzSugar — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 16:33:40 -0700

Last Spring, we did some talking 'round here about the Justin and Rebecca situation on Brothers and Sisters, and it looks like those of us who were a little uneasy seeing the two of them together will have lots of chances to get used to it in the coming season. From the looks of things in this ABC promo, the two are definitely more than just ex-brother-and-sister when the show's third season premieres Sept. 28.

Of course, we know promos can be misleading, so take what you see in this one with a grain of salt. But in general, things appear to be mostly the same as ever for the Walker clan. And I'm not saying that's a bad thing, because for this huge and dysfunctional family, that means a lot of fights, awkward family dinners, occasional romantic interludes, and a whole lot of lies that always come out in the worst possible ways. "Certain members of this family are keeping all kinds of secrets," Calista Flockhart's Kitty exclaims in the promo — and I wouldn't want it any other way.

I'm excited for this soapy show to be a fun diversion on my viewing schedule again. What about you? To check out the promo, just

TV Tonight: Brothers & Sisters

Brothers & Sisters hasn't been gone as long as some of the other shows that went off the air during the strike — we spoiled fans of the Walker family got to see an original episode in February, after all. But when the show went off the air, it seemed like a lot of big things were about to happen, so I'm frankly relieved that it's finally returning.

While I'm excited about many of the upcoming developments in the B&S universe, I'm a little worried about others — particularly the dynamic the writers have been setting up with Rebecca and Justin, though they recently assured E! that the resolution will be better than viewers imagine. (For some reason, I have shades of Shonda Rhimes promising Grey's Anatomy viewers that she wasn't following the rules of TV right before bringing Meredith back from the dead — once bitten, twice shy?)

On the other hand, I've been loving most of the other Walker siblings' stories — especially the ever-lovable Kevin and his dating issues. (There are plenty of juicy spoilers out there about where his story might be going, and while I won't mention them here, well, go here and scroll down.) Plus, watching matriarch Nora Walker wade into romance again has been a great argument for showcasing interesting, complex middle-aged characters in primetime. That sounds like it will continue tonight, as Nora reacts to a life-altering offer from Isaac.

Is it just me, or have there been a lot of weddings on TV this fall? Wilhelmina on Ugly Betty, Karen on Dirty Sexy Money, and, soon, Robert and Kitty on Brothers & Sisters.

The planning for that last one is in full swing on tonight's episode, with Kitty and Robert trying to figure out the songs — and the steps — for their first dance. The wedding itself is supposed to happen in next week's episode, but when you're dealing with a presidential candidate and the Walker family, aren't things bound to get messed up? In the meantime, you can check out a preview clip that will tell you more than you ever needed to know about Nora Walker's sex life if you just

TV Tonight: "Brothers & Sisters"

I haven't written much about "Brothers & Sisters," but over the course of its first season, it's become a show I can't wait to watch every Sunday. The show has only gotten stronger over the past few episodes, with the introduction of Emily VanCamp (formerly of "Everwood") as the Walker family's previously unknown half-sibling. Sally Field is delightfully inappropriate as matriarch Nora, and I'm amazed at the show's ability to juggle a number of plot lines (at least one per member of the Walker clan) without getting too overwhelming.

I'm especially intrigued by tonight's episode because of the cliffhanger set up a couple of weeks ago: Rebecca claimed that her half-sister Sarah's husband, Joe, kissed her during a guitar lesson. The kiss wasn't shown on TV, and I'm not sure if Rebecca's story is true; regardless, it's certain to put even more stress on Joe and Sarah's already screwed-up marriage. But "Brothers & Sisters" always throws a lot of lighter moments in among the heavy stuff, and this episode should be no exception: To see a cute scene of Calista Flockhart's character, Kitty, giving her boyfriend/boss a massage,

In tonight's "Brothers & Sisters," Justin and the Walker family aired their dirty laundry during therapy. In the meantime, Kitty mulled over an interesting proposition from Senator McCallister (Rob Lowe).

Brothers & Sisters Recap: Episode 10, "Light the Lights"

BuzzSugar — Mon, 11 Dec 2006 12:44:46 -0800

Last night's episode of "Brothers & Sisters" tried to pack in as many plot lines as possible, perhaps in order to wrap everything up - and quick! - before the winter hiatus. The episode included some great lines, and some nice moments, but it had a rushed feel, with a lot of information all at once. I mean, I know it's a big family and everything, but sometimes it's hard to care about everyone all the time.

The episode starts with the Paige story line, in which she's grappling with her religious identity. Noting that her mother is Jewish, she wonders why the family never celebrates Hanukkah, only Christmas. Jewish grandmother Nora doesn't really have an answer, except to say that Santa is "just so much fun!" She also adds that they are secular humanists, to which Paige says, "Secu-what?" Ultimately, it comes out that Paige is anxious about her spiritual self because she needs God to listen to her prayers so she will be cured of her diabetes. Somehow, this statement makes Nora go slightly crazy, and she goes on a mission to bring Judaism to the Walker household immediately and forcefully.

Meanwhile, Saul, Sarah, and Tommy try to trick Holly into selling the property she received from Nora's late husband William for far less than it's worth, so they can keep that money and save the family business. Holly, however, smells a rat, and Saul suddenly gets his conscience back and comes clean about the whole deal. This is a pretty weak part of the episode: If Saul cares for Holly as much as he claims to, he would never have deceived her in the first place. Holly, rightfully angry that he tried to swindle her out of $10 million, ends her personal relationship with Saul. But that's only a taste of the action, so

On tonight's episode of "Brothers & Sisters", Page questions her religious roots, so Nora goes a little overboard in trying to make the holidays (that's Christmas and Hannukah) bright. Meanwhile, Saul, Tommy, and Sarah make a major mistake when they try to save the family business.

I'll post a full recap tomorrow, but for now, let's discuss: What did you think of tonight's holiday episode?
