Brothers & Sisters - The Complete First Season (DVD, 2007, 6-Disc Box Set)

When the show first aired in a difficult time slot, it was billed as Calista Flockart's show. This series about the complex relationships between the Walker family trying to run the family business after the death of the patriarch is held together by 2 time Oscar Winner, Sally Field. And it's good to see her working steady again. It is now more Ms. Field's show and she won the Emmy to prove it this year.

The storylines are filled with subplots and fine acting by a relatively unknown cast. Thanks to good scripts, direction and of course Ms. Field, this prime time series is well worth the watch on DVD. The transfer is clean and contains the entire first season.

Field who started in TV was typecast from her "Gidget" and "Flying Nun" series and it took her many years to prove what a consummate actress she really was. In the Made For TV "Sybil" she played a woman with 16 personalities that won her an Emmy and led to 2 Oscars. Due to the Industry's age discrimination, she has been seen less and less in movies and on TV. She had a recurring role as the schizophrenic Maggie on ER that garnered her another Emmy and inbetween when good work wasn't available she turned her talents to directing--a TV holiday movie and the well-received theatrical release "Beautiful". Up until this series she was only seen briefly in a summer replacement "The Law" and on TV commercials. It's a shame Hollywood neglects the professionals due to their age (particularly women). Field is 60 years old and looks much younger.
Welcome back Sally!

this is one of my favorite shows, and so happy I found it on here! The speed, the delivery was amazingly quick, that I could barely believe it. Thank you!

I bought this item because the price was very reasonable then the other offers that they had. The shipping was very fast on the dvd and I was really happy with the condition that the dvd season was in.

I got this dvd set it is in good shape. They got here quickly. I went with this person they had the best deal on shipping!!!!! I will use this person again.

Finally able to try disc and seems to be in perfect condition. One of favorite shows on tv. All the cast is amazing...

This show is just incredible...I love it. It is so a great depiction of a modern family. It's very exciting, funny, and full of interesting plot twists. Watch it. Sally Field (as always) is amazing. So is the entire rest of the cast.

Funny shows. I saw them once and wanted to see them again without commercials.
They were just as good the second time.

Original show. Just a pity that producers will continue producing more seasons till all originality has dissapeared completely; as was the case with Six Feet Under and Desperate Housewives.

great DVD collection awesome to recap the previous year and catch friends up so they can enjoy the show as much as I do

like to watch brothers and sisters. i did not get to see all of first season and wanted to watch whole season.

This show is EXCELLENT! I bought this for my sister who has to work evenings and keeps missing the show! We all love this show! Great acting, great stars, great, fun drama!

I bought this dvd set because I like to collect different sets as I am a movie freak, I love this show for the season 2 and I wanted to see just how this show was in the first season. Which I can honestly say that I still do not know what it is like.

Why did I watch Brothers and Sisters? I don't know who Clarissa Flockhart or Matthew Rhys, but I do know Sally Field and a lot of her movies. I didn't know what the premise of the was about until I watched it.

It is a great series. Sally Field really nailed her role and if I may add, deserves her Emmy win! However, it is the issues and the ideal politics that I could relate with. From the homosexual issue to the Robert's stance on the issues of today to the family secrets. What family does not have secrets?

It is a great series, terrific cast, and really current with our time. It's worth watching, especially Nora and Kitty's politcal spats. Or the family spats. Great series! Watch, everyone!

True family....fight among themselves, but heaven help the outsider that tries to put down one of the members. Sally Field is terrific as the mom. The food fights, family gatherings, you name it, so nice to see and laugh about!

Absolutely the best series on TV today. There's nothing out there that can beat the diverse and interesting group of characters in Brothers & Sisters. This collection of characters will bring you into their home and within the time constraint of an hour will make you laugh and cry. The writers of this show have hit the nail on the head! I don't think there are enough good things to say about this series. It is a must watch for this generation and those to come!

"BROTHERS AND SISTERS", beside having one of my favorite female leads, Sally Field, also has diversity. Oppositional positions held within a very close, involved family that include straight and gay love interests; faithful and unfaithful spouses, and lovers; adult conflicts between parent and adult children; jealousy and support between family members; different addictions face some family members; and a difference in extreme political perspectives, are only a few of the issues and themes of the show. The family is like a small village, where everyone knows or learns what is happening to everyone else.
When I saw 2 of the 1st 5 shows, I found so much variety overwhelming and the family unbelievable, and I wondered what other character type will appear next. Then I began to watch regularly and began to really like the family members. It is obviously produced for television audiences. It is not the quality of "DEADWOOD", but it was a nice escape, and the female actresses - mother and 2 daughters, were very believeable. Sally Field's brother also was part of the family and the family business, and he was believable.
I decided to buy season one because I missed a few of the first 5 or 6 episodes. I also got it at a very good price on ebay.

I have been looking for this DVD and was very happy to receive it with a good price. The product was shipped very quickly.

What I disliked - the fact that I have never received it and have had to file a complaint with paypal - a procedure that moves at pace way beyond slow.

What could be missing in a wonderful cast like this? Absolutely nothing. I watched all the episodes in about 4 nights, feeling as if I was a part of this wonderful, normal if disfunctional family. I missed them when it ended, and can't wait until the next opportunity to visit them again.

I recently bought Season One of Brothers & Sisters. Wow! I was really surprised at the quality of the acting, the writing of the script, and the mix for the music. Every aspect is spot on! Sally Field is phenomenal and the guest actors are superb. I definitely won't be selling my copy of this series.

I've watched the dvd and it works great; it was a great price and I received it very quickly. I would definitely buy something else from this person.
