So, I think I want to write something about one of the greatest TV shows that I personally have ever seen and it’s called Brothers & Sisters.
Now I remember watching this show years ago when it aired initially and I recently came across it again on the TV (yeah I don’t really have a life) and I realized how much I loved it and how much I missed it. So I did the most obvious and sensible thing one can do in such circumstances, I found myself a link online for the show and watched all the seasons, each and every episode, all over again and OMG, it was such a rollercoaster ride of emotions and it brought back so many wonderful memories!! How can you not love this show?!?! Why are they still not airing new episodes?? Don’t you see, I really need to know what’s going on in their lives!! Ehem… like I said, I don’t have a life of my own at the moment…
Ok, so I rarely have any opinions, forget strong ones, but just casual regular opinions, but I strongly feel that this show is AWESOME!! It’s impossible not to fall in love with this show and the characters. It’s so well-written that every character’s personal storyline will take you on a journey and make you fall in love with them. Sometimes you wouldn’t agree with every decision they make and you might also end up shouting profanities at the TV screen, secretly hoping they can listen to you. Yeah, I think I don’t need to repeat the – me not having a life – part again.
Personally, the best character hands down for me has to be the matriarch of the family Nora Walker, which is played by Sally Field. I have always had a soft spot for her ever since her Mrs. Doubtfire days. She shows incredible strength in the show not just for herself but also for the family and is a rock during all their ups and downs. I remember watching the show all those years ago and then now again, I couldn’t help but feel that I see a lot of my mom in Nora Walker’s character and I guess that just made the show all the more special for me. If I have to pick a favorite brother or sister from amongst the five, I don’t think I could choose just one. I am a fan of every one of them right from from Sarah, Tommy, Kitty, Kevin and Justin. Every character right from Saul, Scott, Holly Harper, Rebecca, Robert and all the others have such interesting personalities and storylines that somehow you end up falling in love with each and everyone of them.
Watching this show after so long brought back several wonderful memories. I remember waiting every week for a new episode to air and once it was over I was already waiting for it to be the next week so I could watch what happened next. When the show ended I was a bit upset for obvious reasons but I was quite happy to have been a part of such a wonderful journey with the entire Walker clan. Strangely, every time I watched an old episode again, I couldn’t help but relate to something new. Something that I did not notice or pay much attention to the first time round but now seemed so relevant that it allowed me to watch and experience the show on an all new level and that is just what made it such a delight.
If you have watched it too, I would like to know your opinion about the show. Tell me if you like it or not and which is your favorite character and why?
