I didn't see this show advertised. I didn't know it was from the creators of Sex and the City and Friends. I just happened to flick to the channel. It wasn't the pilot, it was about 4 or 5 episodes in. And it was entertaining! Its funny and cute and I think it has a lot of potential. Maybe the first episode wasn't that great, but most series start off slowly. Friends and SATC were much better by the end than they were in their first seasons. So no, I haven't seen the first few episodes, but I'm watching every week now. All I'm saying is to give Related a chance. Every episode has at least a few great moments and it'll only get better with age. Go in with no expectations and enjoy!

I must first say that I wasn't looking for a new show to watch. My T.V. schedule was full with other shows; however, I kept hearing about this show called "Related". I decided to give it a chance, a friend had all the episodes so I decided to watch the first four in one sitting. I was very pleasantly surprised. It is well written and the actors know how to act. There is enough diversity that you can relate to at least one of the characters if not bits of each them. The story lines are good and make you interested in seeing more. I really love the interactions between the sisters, as well as their interactions with the men in the series. Related is a show about family relationships (father/daughter, the new step mom-to-be/the girls, husband/wife, and of course the sisters), as well as relationships between potential boyfriends and the women. This is a show which you can laugh with the characters, as well as cry. I am glad that The WB has added this show to their Monday night line-up to hopefully give it a chance to survive.

Meet the Sorelli sisters. Ginnie, the oldest, is a lawyer and lives with her husband Bob. She is maternal and caring and raised her sisters, since their mother died when they were young. Ann, the next sister, is a psychologist who recently ended her long-term relationship and is feeling unstable. Marjee is the wild one, quick with a witty comeback and sarcasm, but also lots of love for her sisters. She works as a party planner. Rose, the Sorelli baby, is in college and is juggling acting ambitions with medical dreams and two prospective boyfriends.

Related is the kind of show that I find myself wanting to mock, but can't because it weaves the mushy sister moments with irony and humor.

Jennifer Esposito, Kiele Sanchez, Lizzy Caplan, Laura Breckenridge, and Callum Blue make up the kind of cast that anyone would hope for.

Let's just hope it makes it to another season.

Come on who wouldn't like this show (other then men)? I think it's a delight. 4 different sisters with 4 separate lives who are best friends and worst enemies. Sound's like a chick flick hey? oh well. Why not? It's good! My favorite is Ginny. She's picture perfect but shows her insecurities and her sensitivity in the show a lot. She is the symbol of women everywhere really. Then there's Anne, the sweet one who is the most responsible. Then Marjee, The crazy little party girl who needs to grow up. Then the actress, Rose. She the youngest and most naive one. These four clash with each other but yet they wouldn't have it anyother way. It's just a cute show. Don't cancel this one either TV!!!!!!!

I really like this show.

People have complained that because it's from the creators of Sex & The City and Friends, that it should be amazing. No one will remark that the first four episodes of those shows were groundbreaking. But for someone looking for a replacement of those great shows, you will be disappointed. Someone looking for a great show about family, you will be pleasantly pleased.

Related is ensemble cast driven, giving fair time to each actress. I think the story lines are funny, thoughtful and have a lot of room to expand for many seasons. I like that the four sisters have distinct personalities and dialog. The highlight is Jennifer Espisito. She plays a very warm, caring older sister. It's much different than what I've seen in her before, and she does it well.

I am a girl that grew up with all brothers and when I watch this show, I instantly connect with the images I have had my whole life of having sisters.

Related is great!
