I cannot believe that you think that "Brothers & Sisters" is not a good program. Everyone at the office where I work loves the show. I guess when you are a TV critic, you see things different than just the plain old people who like shows because they are entertaining and enjoyable. If "Two and a Half Men" and "Reba" can stay on TV, then surely "Brothers & Sisters" should.

I am so tired of "CSI"-type shows and "Law & Order" and all the other shows that just show violence. Or, on the other hand, we could watch all the tasteless, stupid reality shows -- what a waste of TV space. "Brothers & Sisters" portrays the life of a dysfunctional family that is enjoyable to me. As a senior citizen, I'd like to see more shows that have a family-oriented theme: sometimes funny, sometimes sad and sometimes very touching.

I am often at the whim of my wife, who exposes me to such tripe as "Brothers & Sisters." If there is one thing more aggravating than a pseudo-soft comedy that isn't one damn bit funny, it's one that feels it's much smarter than the viewer. I am not sure what these producers think the real world sounds like, but it ain't this.

I read your interview with Sally Field, where she stated, "I haven't seen anybody really explore this territory -- certainly not in American film or television ..." Apparently she never saw "Judging Amy." Tyne Daly brilliantly portrayed a woman with issues involving adult children, aging, her own rich life, etc., and the writing was topnotch, at least in the early years. I think Sally Field is an excellent actress, but in this case she's not breaking new ground.
