Sisters

A brilliant series about four very different sisters and their relationships - often shadowed by the "Child Within" flashbacks of their childhood relationships. The Cast Summary should have started out with the LEADING ROLES: Sela Ward as 'Teddy'; Swoosie Kurtz as 'Alex'; Patricia Kalember as 'Georgie'; and Julianne Phillips as 'Frankie'. Their mother, daughters, husbands and lovers added to a brilliant cast of regulars and cameos. The intricate writing of difficult situations and the childhood reflections, make this more than entertainment, but a sensitive way of understanding and loving every one of these characters. Even the philandering father, who wanted a Son so bad he named all of his daughters with male nicknames - tho deceased in the timeframe of the series - carries an important and forgivable role.

When I first saw the preview for this show called Sisters I thought it was a new show. It started airing in the new prime time season (where I live) and so I assumed that it would be prime time. But it was shown just before prime time. Later I learned that it was actually reruns of an old (well, not that old) show. I would always watch the end of the Sisters episodes, being right before prime time. And I liked it so I started watching the episodes from the beginning and made it part of my television schedule. Sisters is a wonderful drama about... well, sisters. Four of them, with boys names: Teddy, Alex, Georgie and Frankie. I missed a lot of episodes (including the pilot) but I still got the hang of it and I love it! One thing that is great about Sisters is that the four sisters always remember themselves as teenagers or young children. It is kind of hard to explain what the younger versions are for, but in a nutshell they remind these siblings of the past, of what's important and can give them a whole new perspective on things. At few times it tends to get a bit too mushy but it is still very enjoyable. The acting is superb. Some of the best acting I've seen in a drama series. Sela Ward (who can now be seen in a show which still hasn't aired where I live, Once and Again) is great as Teddy and probably the character with the most life. Swoosie Kurtz, (Alex), Julianne Phillips (Frankie) and Patricia Kalember (Georgie) are also all wonderful, most the supporting cast is great, which includes the then not so famous Ashley Judd. I'd highly recommend that if you see Sisters in your TV guide that you watch one episode, worst thing that can happen you turn the TV off, though I'm pretty you sure you won't.

I haven't seen this show in ages! I would love to binge it one weekend for nostalgia. Where and when can we stream this little 90s gem?

Sisters is an awesome show. It blended drama and comedy with theatrical nuances (unheard of at the time). They covered and was ahead of culture on many issues with their storylines. Famous alumni of the show include George Clooney, Paul Rudd, before they were big names. All the actors were superb! I'm one of their biggest fans. I have a group on Facebook - Sisters TV Show Fan Group. I started and completed a successful campaign to get Sisters on DVD. Now we're working on getting it streamed. While collecting signatures I saw how impactful this show is, from all over the world!

This show was the best! All of the characters were well thought out and it was an incredibly funny show. The story was enticing and you couldn't wait for the next week to come to see what happened next. I would absolutely love to watch it again but I can't seem to find it anywhere. This show was an Emmy winner. It deserves a spot on a streaming service somewhere. I beg of whatever studio has the rights to this show to release them to someone so those of us who love this show can watch it again and immerse ourselves in the drama of pre- Desparate housewives. Why isn't it streaming anywhere??? Please stream it!
