Summary: GREAT, SMART, FUNNY - A JOY TO WATCH.
Comment: This is one of the most enjoyble evening shows we have seen in several years. This is a not to be missed series, and has earned a spot up next to "West Wing" as one of the shows we wait to see (this has nothing to do specifically with Rob Lowe, although he is a delight to see again in such a great show). Can't wait to add Season 3 to our DVD collection.

Summary: I'm Falling in Love With This Show!
Comment: The second season of Brothers & Sisters offers the same elements that were present in its first, only better. After this second season, I quickly realised that I'm completely in love with these characters and their storylines. Anyone who's close to their siblings will find many similarities in the plot of this show.
The show continues where the last season left off. Kitty is still with the Senator and he is still trying to take his seat at the head of his party. Sara's marriage is still in trouble. Justin is still at war and will become more troubled than before. Kevin is still looking for love and hiding his aloneness with cynicism. And Norah... well she's still the matriarch with so much goodness she causes more harm than good. The family business is in trouble, and many of their relationships as well.
These characters are going through real situations that I found myself indentifying with. There are many gripping moments in this series that just brings you closer to these characters because they often reflect our own. Sure, the show is about a rich Californian family that seems to have all that they want. But the characters are never overzealous, which makes them real.
What I find amazing about this show is the dialogue. When the entire family is together, the dance that takes place back and forth between these characters is so realistic that it sends shivers down my spine. The performances are all strong, even more in this second season. The actors are truly empersonating their characters and they seem much more at ease with one another.
Brothers & Sisters is a real gem. I wish more people would be able to watch and enjoy this show about family relationships and family secrets. I can garantee that after just a few episodes, you'll be completely hooked.

Summary: Technical Information vs. Season One
Comment: Brothers & Sisters Season Two is listed as having a Run Time of "1 minutes" as I write this review; this is clearly wrong. (The Season One DVD set is listed as having a Run Time of 988 minutes.)
Season One had 23 episodes. Season Two had only 16 due to the writers' strike. The Season One collection was on 6 discs. Season Two is on 5 discs. There's no advance information about what extras they added to the Season Two set, but logically you'd expect the price to be about 2/3 of that of Season One. That's not the case.
I won't go into details about the Season Two plot lines involving the faux Walker sibling; others can cover that. But based only on the amount of content versus the price of the set, I've got to say I'm disappointed.
