Ahh. I actuallylove this show.
Not too much of a fan to start with.
But its got great lately.

Only thing is yesterday was the end of the money storyline. So i dont know where they're going to go from here!

I must admit I too struggled through the first few episodes, mainly on the promise that Rob Lowe was going to be in it, but the last few have been brill and finally we have a RL appearance ! Lets hope it is compelling as the West Wing

Yes, me too i am huge fan now. I have seen most of the first season and it just gets better! There some really good storylines coming up.

I love it too - haven't watched last nights one yet though, sky plussed it so don't give anything away! Glad that Rob Lowe is finally making an appearance. Personally can't see anything being as good as the West Wing as I am a little obsessive about that but still loving it!

[penlid]

i have never seen the west wing but i love brothers and sisters. Are they similar? What is the plot?

[Black Noir]

West Wing is set in the white house and story surrounds the president (martin sheen who should actually be president i think) and his staff.

I thought there was a link between the 2 programmes - same writers or something??

[annavc]

I think some of the writers that worked on seasons 5-7 of the West Wing are involved with Brothers and Sisters. Aaron Sorkin and Thomas Schlamme who created the West Wing and wrote and directed seasons 1-4 (the best ones!) aren't involved in Brothers and Sisters. Their new show "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" started on More4 a couple of weeks ago.

Being in the US I have seen the complete first seasons of both Brothers and Sisters and Studio 60. They are both very good. The writing and actors from West W that are on Studio 60 do not disappoint. I was very sad that West W was cancelled. The way the series ended was a perfect spot to continue on with the new administration. Oh Well.
I know many US shows run behind there so I don't want to give anythimg away.

Useless Trivia: The actress who play CJ on WW (Alison Cheney) was on a soap (Guiding Light) years ago as a very dippy, ditsy maid named Ginger.
