Studio description:
Enter the complex world of the Walkers, and explore what it means to be an American family in the 21st century. Though they live very different and conflicting lives, the Walkers find unity under the family roof. Relationships bend but never break as they strive to find their own identities and embrace each other’s differences. It's 'an encounter to look forward to,' says The Wall Street Journal. Get caught up in one of television’s most reflective and sophisticated dramas. Calista Flockhart, Sally Field, Rachel Griffiths, Ron Rifkin, Balthazar Getty and Patricia Wettig lead a stellar cast in ABC’s critically acclaimed hit Brothers & Sisters. Experience every episode of Season One, including exclusive, in-depth bonus material, in this six-disc DVD set.

Just because you're all grown up doesn't mean your family dynamics get any easier. Luckily for TV fans, the first season of Brothers and Sisters makes for addictive watching while exploring the intricacies of a family, in crisis and in repose. First, let us give thanks for the amazing Sally Field, who has literally grown up on the small screen, and who now plays the matriarch of the Walker family, though not as a power-mad dowager, but as a well-meaning, slightly naive but fiercely loyal California girl gone ever-so-slightly gray. In fact, when this show debuted in the fall of 2006, it was known as the 'new Calista Flockhart show,' but Field quickly became the standout in a stellar ensemble cast.
While the Walkers' problems of money and business deals may seem rarefied to some, the family pecking orders and feuds are universal and handled deftly by the writers and the actors, including Patricia Wettig, the icy former mistress of the dearly departed Walker pere (Tom Skerritt), and brothers Dave Annable and Balthazar Getty. Rachel Griffiths is a tart sisterly counterpoint to Flockhart's flighty Ann Coulter wannabe. In short, anyone with a family should be able to relate. And, perhaps, cringe a bit. --A.T. Hurley

Rating:  - Brothers & Sisters
A co-worker and very good friend tried to convince me to watch this series when it first came out but I told her it conflicted with another series that I was already "hooked" on. Needless to say, she convinced me to buy the first season and I can honestly say I couldn't wait to purchase season 2!!!! This is the greatest TV series I think I have ever had the opportunity to thoroughly enjoy as it is just like family to me!!
Rating: - Brothers & Sisters Season 1
This show is great entertainment. From the story, all the way to the fantastic cast!
Rating:  - A thoroughly enjoyable family drama
I have come to BROTHERS AND SISTERS somewhat late in the game. I had some initial interest in it when Marti Noxon was the show runner during the developmental stage, but after replacing several original cast members and after Noxon left over "creative differences" and persistent rumors from the set that the show was in utter disarray, I opted not to watch it. I had friends who watched it, however, and reading critics I knew that the show had managed to get past its initial problems it had developed ... Read More
Rating: - Why ?
GREAT SHOW! But....Why do we have to see men kissing ? I realy dont like this piped into my living room.
Rating:  - THIS is why the networks are moribund.
I'd give this series NO STARS except I believe that even an egregious piece of dreck must have some redeeming quality or feature. In this case I can't think of one but I will concede I may be overlooking some aspect of production or...something.
A friend of mine wanted to give this show a try and, having read some positive reviews on this site, I thought it would be a shot. We got through the first DVD and I've called it quits. I really don't want to waste any more of my time on this boring, ... Read More
