Brothers & Sisters (2006)
Could this show be any worse?
I am at a loss for words. If this is the standard for network drama then don't invest in that big screen or plasma because there won't be anything worth watching in the next few years. The writing is so poor I almost feel embarrassed for Rachael Griffins after her tour de force in Six Feet Under. This poor girl has talent but to have to utter those awful lines must affect her sleep at nights. Sally Fields should not have come out of retirement. It appears that she went right from Smokey and the Bandit to this abomination and all of the good stuff she did never really happened. When you can lay there staring at the ceiling and finish the lines of dialog from these transparent sappy characters you know this is a "stinker". When will they put it out of it's misery?
Wojeck (1966)
Great Canadian Drama
Modelled somewhat after the flamboyant Chief Coroner of Toronto in the 60's Dr. Morton Shulman, Wojeck delivers a no nonsense look at the job, the politics, the effect of the job on relationships and the mood of the times. John Vernon was never better and his performance in this series belies his comedic take in Animal House, this guy can act. Great support from a host of Canadian and American actors and good writing. Might seem a little dated for the genre by todays standards however worth a look if you can catch it. Followed on the CBC by Quentin Jergens M.P. starring Gordon Pinsent (father of Leah) also worth a look.
