I don't think Flockhart has gotten any better on "Brothers & Sisters" persay, I just think the show has learned, especially during season 3, how to capitalize on her dramatic talent. I actually don't think she's better on "B&S" than she was on "Ally" or vice versa. Both shows capitalize on different parts of her talent, so for me it's hard to compare the performances. During the late...

I would have voted for Friends, but I'm fine with Ally winning that year, especially with "Angels and Blimps" as one of the show's submissions. Terrific episode, and one of Lucy Liu's best performances.

I think Flockhart has definetly improved as an actress; and i say that as somebody that ADORDED her work on "Ally McBeal", i'm one of her biggest fans; but there's a new maturity to her work on "Brothers & Sisters" that she didn't have on Ally because it can only come from life expierance...

wait, its out on dvd today? which season? Do you know if theres a dvd box set of ALL the seasons? I love this show.

Great first and second seasons. Hilarious and dramatic all in one. Third season was sort of average with a few good storylines and then you have that big shock towards the end. I still remember watching that episode when 'it' first aired and my jaw was on the floor because I just wasn't expecting 'it' to happen. I may be the only person around that felt the RDJr. episodes were just...meh. The show fell so quickly in...

I've been waiting years for this show to finally show up and now that it is has, naturally,like most Americans, I'm currently broke so I can't buy the box set. At least not until near Xmas when I'm sure some website will have it dirt cheap. If anyone could list the episodes the cast members, the directors and the show itself submitted for Emmy consideration each year would be much appreciated.
