Good Morning to Sally Field

by Terri
Sally Field on Good Morning America

Well, shoot. I really meant to catch Sally Field’s appearance on Good Morning America this a.m., or at least the appearance on Live With Regis and Kelly that came after, and totally missed them. Following a drought of Brothers & Sisters hype, we suddenly seem to be swimming in TV appearances and articles and “Must Sees.” I used to scour Google News reports for B&S mentions, and now I realize I’m way, way behind.

Fortunately, Sally’s GMA segment is available on the show’s site. They talk, of course, about The Speech, and she admits that she didn’t mean to say the G word before the D word, but was flustered by the audience’s response. When asked by Diane Sawyer whether awards shows were an appropriate place for political commentary, she responded that she felt she owed it to the character she plays — a mother waiting for a son to come back from war — to pay tribute to other mothers like her.

There was a clip from the Emmys and a clip from the show and a nice plug for the new season starting, although Diane seemed confused about just which season it was. Wouldn’t it be great if all this PR work really turns into some meaningful ratings come Sunday night? B&S feels like a show on the cusp of being The Next Big Thing. Time to push it over.

    Disgusting, let the door hit me on the way out. I am gone, will not return.

    I left so fast the door could not hit me.

    Last year was acceptable.

    Current language should get an immediate acceptance in to hell.

    That is where she and rest of the show are headed. Good by.
