Poland, NH?
"The Brotherhood of Poland, N.H." was probably the best television drama Kelly E. Kelly produced. It is unfortunate that only a few people found the program! First of all, the title was somewhat strange! CBS gave it a time slot of doom! After 4 or 5 airings, it was gone, & Mr. Kelly did not fight for the show, which is sad. The program could have developed into one of those long-running family dramas. A couple of brothers & their families experience life in a small New England town. The brothers are average middle-aged guys with average middle-aged wives and average kids. The program goes beyond average in tackling above-average issues. The ratings were less than average, & CBS did little to promote the show. The opening music was beautiful, & not one of the episodes was disappointing. I think there were only a total of four shows to make it to t.v. The brothers & their families interacted with each other in attempting to make ends meet, fulfill their dreams, and deal with modern issues. Sounds a little boring when someone could be voted off an island somewhere!
Pissed!
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.
An enjoyable dramatic/funny show.
This show is about three brothers(Randy Quaid, John Carroll Lynch, Chris Penn) deal with life in a small town, and trying to keep there marriages together. I saw two episodes, I really find this show enjoyable. It shows these brothers are very insecure about issues, sometimes it gets funny and sad most of the time. I hope this show will be on a while!
It's only getting better.
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 Want This Show Back On The Air!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
