I saw commericals for this show, and had to at least check it out, and i'm glad i did. This show is really great. The cast works very well together. Though i don't think rating are good on it, i hope it doesn't get cancelled i really enjoy it. I suggest it to everybody.
Ever since Picket Fences went off the air, I've been waiting, ever so
freaking patiently, for another great melodrama to come along
from David Kelley. And though Boston Public started off alright, it
sank, rather quickly.
So I'd given up by the time I heard about this one, the Brotherhood
of Poland. And I thought, "What an unappealing title for a show."
But, I found myself home the night it debuted, and figured since
there's nothing good on tv anymore, I'd watch it. And I did. And,
Brotherhood left an indifferent impression on me. It wasn't great
enough to get me excited and hopeful, but it wasn't terrible enough
for me to disregard it completely. So I've kept watching.
And last night, the fifth episode aired, and it's got Picket Fences
Deux written all over it. And I love it. It's blatantly similar to Picket
Fences but that's just fine with me, I've been waiting for this for
years. The actors seem to be connecting more, and the writing
seems to be getting a little less awkward...maybe Brotherhood just
needed to stretch its legs for a few weeks before it started to pick
up some steam? I really don't care if it's 'inaccurate' as far as New
Hampshire towns are concerned, I don't mind that reality seems to
get checked at the door (that makes it better, if you ask me); it's a
fun and quirky show with smart humor and all the melodrama of a
Sirk movie. And wow, Randy Quaid did some fine acting last night;
I've never really seem him in serious roles, and never thought he
could pull them off, but last night he actually impressed me with
his skills. Give this little show a try, it's only been getting better.

I loved the show and all the characters! They never gave it a chance! Im positive that if given a full season that people would have grown to love it like I already did! All of these stars had big potential I always had hopes of someone bringing it back! New Hampshire has a lot of Great possibilities for interesting storylines! Bring it back and give it another go..Purty Please!..lol.
One of the best shows I have seen in a long time. There is a lot of junk on the tv these days. I never missed an episode of this show...then they took it off. Too bad some people can't see a winner when it is right in front of them. PLEASE GIVE THIS SHOW ANOTHER TRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am really tired of reality shows...they suck. I want humour like Bob Newhart, Friends, According to Jim, Red Green, and the new Canadian show Corner Gas. When I sit down to watch tv I want to be able to shut out the real world with a little humour, something that has unrealistic reality. That was what I found in The Brotherhood of Poland, New Hampshire.

Since the show of 10/22 had "Carter Pike" all it needs now is "Douglas Wambaugh" and it will be great. Seems like a continuation of Picket Fences, maybe the other side of the mountain so to speak. As for NH realism, that isn't important to me or probably most of the viewers. After all it isn't a documentary, just a TV program for entertainment. Thank you David E. Kelley.
