DAMN YOU, BERLANTI! While other shows have gotten more press attention and attention around here, it's worth noting that (unlike Studio 60), Brothers and Sisters has finally found its footing. After cast changes (Sally Field in, Betty Buckley out) and creative changes (Jon Robin Baitz as solo showrunner, replaced by reviled Buffy scribe Marti Noxon, and now being run by Greg Berlanti), the show's finally firing on all cylinders. We have members of the Berlanti Family Players showing up (Keri Lynn Pratt and Treat Williams) and delivering fine performances, just enough intrigue to move the plot forward without turning it overly soap opera-y, a nice mix of comedy and drama, and one of the best written and performed monologues I've seen on TV this year (Flockhart's 9/11 memories monologue). It's worth checking out. Anyone else watching?
