What happens at this party will force all members to reevaluate their lives and those of their siblings. On Brothers and Sisters, long-held secrets are revealed and tragedy is overcome. Cast Member Looking To Reclaim Former Glory: Calista Flockhart makes her first return to TV since FOX hit "Ally McBeal" was canceled. Similar in Theme to: The Danish, Dogme 95 film, “The Celebration�, directed by Thomas Winterberg. Time Slot Competition: Without a Trace, NBC's Sunday Night Football Likelihood of Second Season: 33% Final Word: Brothers and Sisters hasn't received a whole lot of critical attention, and not much can be gleaned from the synopses. Will Brothers and Sisters be a dark, unpredictable family drama? Or will it be another melodramatic, cookie-cutter family soap? It has a great time slot following Desperate Housewives, so if Brothers and Sisters delivers the goods, success may soon follow. -Oscar Dahl << Return to 2006 Fall Preview: New Shows 11-23
