Never jumped, I say. If I had to pick something, I'd say John leaving the show, and his marriage with Georgie breaking up. It made me dislike Georgie a lot. I also have to say, that I actually liked the Charley character a lot, especially when played by Sheila Kelley. I enjoyed her much more than Georgie or Frankie. Just my opinion

please put this wonderful show on dvd .I came from a family of 4 sisters and each one of us closely resembled the personalities of these women. We all watched it with our mother and loved seeing it. We still occasionally call each other to have a pop quiz about the sisters names since they are such odd names for women. release this on dvd please

It was funny at first but then it became so freakin' tragedys. (DRAMA).

"Sisters" was a great show. I loved how they portrayed all four sisters as being unique. However, the show started going downhill when Georgie divorced her husband. Also the drama of her carrying Frankie's baby also took a toll on how great the show was.

I have to agree!! Sisters should be on DVD, especially when I discover that Season 1 of The Fall Guy with Lee Majors came out today! The executive directors currently on Greys Anatomy also did Sisters. Perhaps if we were to bombard them with letters of request we would see Sisters DVD's!! I am not sure who else to hound, possibly NBC?? As you can tell, I am also bitter!!

I sure do miss this show. I loved it. I liked each of the original four sisters and I'm always happy to see any of them show up on other TV shows. My favorite sister was Georgie. And her husband cracked me up. And Cat was cool...always taking care of her drunk mother, Teddy, when needed. This show had some really good plots, I think. Why it's not on DVD yet, is what I want to know! For me, it ranked right up there with the likes of Cagney & Lacey, which just came out on DVD. Shows about women rock!

I loved this show but I didn't like when they had Georgie have an affair with her shrink. That was just stupid. Then they had her date that really young guy for a while.

I think the show jumped when Frankee after going through every hoop possible to get a baby desides she rather not stay at home with the kid. This is sort of Henry VIII syndrom, where you spend years trying to get ann boylen but one you have her is no fun. Also its very dated given that high speed internet could solve both the stay at home and work problems

it occurs to me that the sisters' mom was a hypocrite. 1) She always lectured to them that they "were all the had"; their parents will die (one was already was dead when the series began), their kids grow up and move on, and their husbands or lovers will leave them, but not your sisters. "You're the only ones who know each other from cradle to grave." So did mother Beatrice not have sisters? The sisters mentioned having aunts (though some of them could have been on their father's side). If Bea did have sisters of her won, why wasn't she following her own logic? She and the title character's aunts weren't ever there for each other "from cradle to grave", the way Beatrice lectured to her daughters. Or did all the sisters' maternal aunts die before the series began? 2) Bea didn't want to meet Charlie because Charlie was Bea's late husband's illegitimate offspring. Then suddenly Bea is like Victoria Barkley on "The Big Valley", pretending Charlie is one of her children like V. Barkley did with Heath (Lee Majors' character), her late husband's half-Native American offspring. Bea is working as a receptionist or something at Charlie's medical clinic, is teaching Charlie to garden roses ("I'm glad some inherited my love for gardening"), and even naming a rose after Charlie as Bea had done for her four real daughters. "You made a rose for me?" Charlie asks. "You're one of my daughters, aren't you?" No, she wasn't! But the worst part of all was Bea making Charlie the executor of her will. OF course, Bea had to get used to Charlie being around, since Charlie was part of the other girls' family, but all this was going too far. Teaching her to garden and working as her receptionist was one thing, but the whole part about the will was shocking. And another thing about the will that bothered me. Not only did she leave out Teddy, and leave the others things that seemed out of character to them (leaving them all to figure out some puzzling reason for her bequests), but she only left three possessions: the Christmas ornament, her clothes, and her gardening shears. Come on! She must have had more stuff that just those things! What became of all her other things? And why did no one pick up the lamp she'd ordered some time before her death? (Though they probably would have argued over who should have it). And she made no bequests to her five grandchildren or her one great-grandchild. And finally, Bea (In her spiritual flesh) is angry at Alex for wanting to go to Tennessee for six months to build homes for the poor, since it means Alex won't be home for Christmas. Bea is OK with Frankie going to Japan for more than a year to work on some kid's toy, but is angry with Alex for wanting to go away to build homes for six months? Other things that bothered me about the last episode: 1) Frankie leaves Thomas George behind with a babysitter in Japan when his grandma is about to die 2) John returns, but Wade and Mitch are nowhere to be seen. Mitch was rarely even mentioned since his departure. Does Mitch know about Cat graduating from college and becoming a cop? Doe she know his second ex-wife and son are off in Japan? Wade was only seen once or twice after he departed the series--doe she know about his grandchild? And about Cat--she seemed to graduate from college after only three years, then suddenly completed a training camp for becoming a police officer--a rookie and she already has enough for her own apartment? How can she be blonde when both of her parents were dark-haired. This bothered as much as the half-Greek, blue-eyed kids on "Full House."

Sisters was always an undervalued show that never really took off due to its poor Saturday night time slot. But Sisters is essentially the 1990s precursor to Desperate Housewives sans the hype and the only major difference being that the 4 front women are related to each other. Only Sisters did it first - stories of familial dysfunction, mystery, intrigue mixed with a little comedy set against the backdrop of the upper middle class suburbia world of keeping up appearances.

God, do I miss this show!! This show had me staying home on Saturday nights for the first time in a long time. This was quality television due to some inventive writing and the undeniable chemistry between Swoosie Kurtz, Patricia Kalember, Julianne Phillips, and the fabulous Sela Ward. Killing off George Clooney's character was a real heartbreaker but I'm flexible. I have to admit that the show jumped the shark when the fifth sister was introduced. That was totally unnecessary. We had grown to accept Frankie, Georgie, Teddy, and Alex as a unit and bringing someone new into that unit was just unacceptable. Other than that, a quality show that I miss dearly.

Having John Whitzig hang around the house all day in a bathrobe and sing karaoke was unconventional; having him develop a cult following was truly bizarre; but when he took off the robe and became a typical business drone, an otherwise offbeat show started throwing bloody chum into the water; too bad.

When georgie who had always been the stable one had her nervous break down I knew the show would do anything for ratings. I still likes the show until the end though. It was very odd and unrealistic (in a good way) Also the new sister joining after Frankie left was another low point.... in addition to that I have two words for you- Ashley Judd. Putting her in anything is always a mistake but back then we were only beginning to find this out. That whole thing when she joined the cult and was brainwashed was ridiculous. But a better actress may have been able to pull it off....I got a few laughs out of it though. Bottom-line- I loved Sisters even though it jumped the shark about a hundred times.

When I started watching, it was an interesting show about more or less real people. The episode had Georgie running for the school board. As the episodes accumulated, they kept making the plots increasingly melodramatic. My JTS point was when the Sela Ward character started an international fashion business. Uh-huh. It went downhill from there, although watching Swoozie Kurtz work remained a pleasure.

I was an avid viewer from beginning to end with Sisters. But I have to admit, as soon as George Clooney's character Falconer died, it all went down hill. If it were not for Sela Ward, I would have quit watching the show right after the death of Falconer.
