I must first say that I wasn't looking for a new show to watch. My T.V. schedule was full with other shows; however, I kept hearing about this show called "Related". I decided to give it a chance, a friend had all the episodes so I decided to watch the first four in one sitting. I was very pleasantly surprised. It is well written and the actors know how to act. There is enough diversity that you can relate to at least one of the characters if not bits of each them. The story lines are good and make you interested in seeing more. I really love the interactions between the sisters, as well as their interactions with the men in the series. Related is a show about family relationships (father/daughter, the new step mom-to-be/the girls, husband/wife, and of course the sisters), as well as relationships between potential boyfriends and the women. This is a show which you can laugh with the characters, as well as cry. I am glad that The WB has added this show to their Monday night line-up to hopefully give it a chance to survive.

I saw a preview for this show last summer, and it looked interesting so I checked it out. While it took an episode or two for me to begin to understand the characters, I began to adore them! Each sister's character is well-developed,which is definitely a highlight of the show. I appreciate the WB for creating a show that is not necessarily for young people. I think this show captures a much larger age range, and the writing is getting better as the season progresses. While it is a Drama, it does have a lot of humor as well. Give this show a chance, I love it! I think network television should be trying to develop more shows like this, rather than reverting to reality television to fill every time slot.

Meet the Sorelli sisters. Ginnie, the oldest, is a lawyer and lives with her husband Bob. She is maternal and caring and raised her sisters, since their mother died when they were young. Ann, the next sister, is a psychologist who recently ended her long-term relationship and is feeling unstable. Marjee is the wild one, quick with a witty comeback and sarcasm, but also lots of love for her sisters. She works as a party planner. Rose, the Sorelli baby, is in college and is juggling acting ambitions with medical dreams and two prospective boyfriends.

Related is the kind of show that I find myself wanting to mock, but can't because it weaves the mushy sister moments with irony and humor.

Jennifer Esposito, Kiele Sanchez, Lizzy Caplan, Laura Breckenridge, and Callum Blue make up the kind of cast that anyone would hope for.

Let's just hope it makes it to another season.

I really like this show.

People have complained that because it's from the creators of Sex & The City and Friends, that it should be amazing. No one will remark that the first four episodes of those shows were groundbreaking. But for someone looking for a replacement of those great shows, you will be disappointed. Someone looking for a great show about family, you will be pleasantly pleased.

Related is ensemble cast driven, giving fair time to each actress. I think the story lines are funny, thoughtful and have a lot of room to expand for many seasons. I like that the four sisters have distinct personalities and dialog. The highlight is Jennifer Espisito. She plays a very warm, caring older sister. It's much different than what I've seen in her before, and she does it well.

I am a girl that grew up with all brothers and when I watch this show, I instantly connect with the images I have had my whole life of having sisters.

Related is great!

Come on who wouldn't like this show (other then men)? I think it's a delight. 4 different sisters with 4 separate lives who are best friends and worst enemies. Sound's like a chick flick hey? oh well. Why not? It's good! My favorite is Ginny. She's picture perfect but shows her insecurities and her sensitivity in the show a lot. She is the symbol of women everywhere really. Then there's Anne, the sweet one who is the most responsible. Then Marjee, The crazy little party girl who needs to grow up. Then the actress, Rose. She the youngest and most naive one. These four clash with each other but yet they wouldn't have it anyother way. It's just a cute show. Don't cancel this one either TV!!!!!!!
