Brothers & Sisters

By Allison Waldman Fact! Chuck Lorre told Watch magazine's Jim Colluci that a year before The Big Bang Theory was picked up by CBS, the first pilot had a female character named Katie. She manipulated the guys. "It was like shooting fish in a barrel. It didn't work," Johnny Galecki told Colluci. The problem was tha...

By Jason Hughes With Rachel Griffiths appearing this week, it appears that ABC's ban on their actors appearing on Leno's show may have finally been lifted. Unfortunately, she couldn't bring along a clip of Brothers & Sisters, so I guess they're still feeling a little sour. Or NBC doesn't want to promo...

By Jane Boursaw And it's very weird seeing Calista Flockhart, whom I mainly know from Brothers & Sisters, and all of her co-stars, whom I know from other current shows, on Ally McBeal. What's even more amazing is all of the musicians featured on this show: Elton John, Tina Turner, Mariah Carey, Al Gree...

By Brad Trechak It's great to be J.J. Abrams. His newest spec script about a married spy couple is currently undergoing a bidding war that it looks like NBC is winning. On top of that, he's got a new comedy on Fox and he's behind one of the best revitalizations of a franchise in the history of the medium. The script i...

By Jen Creer Filed under: Drama, ABC, Brothers & Sisters(S01E14) I continue to like Brothers and Sisters more and more every week. And one of my favorite things is the fact that the writers constantly give Rob Lowe lines that reference his famous past.

By Jen Creer Filed under: Drama, ABC, Brothers & Sisters(S01E12) Fun episode. I was instant messaging with my friend Susan while we were both watching it, and she kept typing, "Rob Lowe is totally HOTTT!" This may tell you something about our ages.

By Jen Creer Filed under: Drama, ABC, OpEd, Brothers & Sisters(S01E11) While I was watching the scenes with Nora working at Ojai, I kind of hated this show, and hated myself for watching it. Even though I knew that I would be tuning in week after week regardless of whether or not I was reviewing it. But...

By Jen Creer Saul Holden (Ron Rifkin of Alias) is Nora's brother. Kitty (Calista Flockhart) is a Republican, TV pundit, who has a tumultuous relationship with Nora, and was Daddy's Little Girl. Justin (Dave Annable) is a drug addict and Iraqi war veteran.

By Joel Keller Anyway, the reason why I ask is because Variety reports that Lowe has been signed to play a "John McCain-type Republican" senator (do Hollywood scribes write any other type of Republicans?) in at least six episodes of the ABC show Brothers & Sisters. His character will be running for r...
