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.

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.
