Les soeurs Reed

A brilliant series about four very different sisters and their relationships - often shadowed by the "Child Within" flashbacks of their childhood relationships. The Cast Summary should have started out with the LEADING ROLES: Sela Ward as 'Teddy'; Swoosie Kurtz as 'Alex'; Patricia Kalember as 'Georgie'; and Julianne Phillips as 'Frankie'. Their mother, daughters, husbands and lovers added to a brilliant cast of regulars and cameos. The intricate writing of difficult situations and the childhood reflections, make this more than entertainment, but a sensitive way of understanding and loving every one of these characters. Even the philandering father, who wanted a Son so bad he named all of his daughters with male nicknames - tho deceased in the timeframe of the series - carries an important and forgivable role.

Sisters is an awesome show. It blended drama and comedy with theatrical nuances (unheard of at the time). They covered and was ahead of culture on many issues with their storylines. Famous alumni of the show include George Clooney, Paul Rudd, before they were big names. All the actors were superb! I'm one of their biggest fans. I have a group on Facebook - Sisters TV Show Fan Group. I started and completed a successful campaign to get Sisters on DVD. Now we're working on getting it streamed. While collecting signatures I saw how impactful this show is, from all over the world!

This show was the best! All of the characters were well thought out and it was an incredibly funny show. The story was enticing and you couldn't wait for the next week to come to see what happened next. I would absolutely love to watch it again but I can't seem to find it anywhere. This show was an Emmy winner. It deserves a spot on a streaming service somewhere. I beg of whatever studio has the rights to this show to release them to someone so those of us who love this show can watch it again and immerse ourselves in the drama of pre- Desparate housewives. Why isn't it streaming anywhere??? Please stream it!

The series was about the lives and the friendship among four sisters. Patricia Kalember (thirtysomething) "Georgie" was the backbone of the family and a home maker. Swoosie Kurtz, (Liar Liar ) "Alex", was a typical stereotype of a doctor's wife. Sela Ward (Runaway Bride) "Teddy" had more problems than the other sisters. Everything happened to her. Julianne Phillips (Allie & Me) "Frankie" was a business person climbing the career ladder. The series was interesting because when they recollected the past, there were scenes made with kids that played them as children. That going back to the past and back to the present gave a lot of physiological impact to the characters. That was a nice touch! I started watching the series because I have three sisters. I could identify with the characters. Then the show turned into a typical American soup-opera where everything happened to one character. They get married, divorced, blinded and cured, crippled, raped etc., and we decided that we did not like the series any more and stopped watching it. Some now famous actors played in the series such as: George Clooney (ER) "Detective James Falconer"; Ashley Judd ( Ruby in Paradise) "Reed Halsey Philby" was the rich kid who was sent to boarding school in Europe. But overall it was a very well done television series.

This was one show that I never missed. I enjoyed watching life unfold for the four sisters in Illinois. All were so different in temperament, yet they managed to always be there for one another regardless. It was also neat to see them as children and adults which added more understanding to the characters. The mom had a saying and it was something like people will come and go as will friends but you will always have your sisters (or something to that effect). As an only child, I really longed to have a sister but it was fun to watch the Reed girls every week. A great show!
