Editorial Review:
Enter the complex world of the Walkers, and explore what it means to be an American family in the 21st century. Though they live very different and conflicting lives, the Walkers find unity under the family roof. Relationships bend but never break as they strive to find their own identities and embrace each other’s differences. It's "an encounter to look forward to," says The Wall Street Journal. Get caught up in one of television’s most reflective and sophisticated dramas. Calista Flockhart, Sally Field, Rachel Griffiths, Ron Rifkin, Balthazar Getty and Patricia Wettig lead a stellar cast in ABC’s critically acclaimed hit Brothers & Sisters. Experience every episode of Season One, including exclusive, in-depth bonus material, in this six-disc DVD set.

Description of Brothers and Sisters - The Complete First Season:
Just because you're all grown up doesn't mean your family dynamics get any easier. Luckily for TV fans, the first season of Brothers and Sisters makes for addictive watching while exploring the intricacies of a family, in crisis and in repose. First, let us give thanks for the amazing Sally Field, who has literally grown up on the small screen, and who now plays the matriarch of the Walker family, though not as a power-mad dowager, but as a well-meaning, slightly naive but fiercely loyal California girl gone ever-so-slightly gray. In fact, when this show debuted in the fall of 2006, it was known as the "new Calista Flockhart show," but Field quickly became the standout in a stellar ensemble cast.
While the Walkers' problems of money and business deals may seem rarefied to some, the family pecking orders and feuds are universal and handled deftly by the writers and the actors, including Patricia Wettig, the icy former mistress of the dearly departed Walker pere (Tom Skerritt), and brothers Dave Annable and Balthazar Getty. Rachel Griffiths is a tart sisterly counterpoint to Flockhart's flighty Ann Coulter wannabe. In short, anyone with a family should be able to relate. And, perhaps, cringe a bit. --A.T. Hurley
Brothers and Sisters - The Complete First Season Reviews:
Why hadn't I watched this show before? I was missing out! 
2009-10-24 - I am a huge fan of the 90's show "thirtysomething" and didn't realize, until two weeks ago, both Patricia Wttig and Ken Olin were a part of this show. Once I did, I got this DVD set and started watching! What an amazing show! I spent the last week watching one episode after another not wanting to leave these characters and wanting to see what happens next. Sally Field is wonderful as Nora! And, who doesn't like see Rob Lowe on screen?
The women on this show really shine. I have to admit, I'm not a total fan of the actors who play Kevin and Tommy, but they are given great storylines.
My only slight criticism is that, at times, the writing does seem weak. But then it comes on so strong. I found myself crying at the loss of the baby and when Justin left for Iraq.
I will never miss an episode of this show again.

Brothers & Sisters
2009-09-22 - Excellent - got me hooked on the series. Have since ordered season 2 and three.
Fabulous show!
2009-09-12 - What a great show! With a cast such as the one assembled here it couldn't help but please but the writing is excellent as well. All of the story lines come together smoothly and each episode leaves you looking forward to the next. Brothers and Sisters reminds me of the 80's when we were treated to such outstanding productions as Sisters,China Beach and Thirtysomething. Definitely a winner and each season gets better and better.
