The Walkers return April 20

by
Grapes 3

As Scott mentioned in the comments a few posts back, we now have official re-entry data for Brothers & Sisters: Our show will be back on April 20, and we’re getting four new episodes before the season’s done.

Hooray for that! And boo for this: Of the returning ABC dramas, B&S looks to be getting the smallest number of remaining episodes. According to a TV Guide round-up, Ugly Betty and Grey’s Anatomy are getting five more, Lost is getting at least five more, and Desperate Housewives has five more plus a two-hour finale.

Now, it’s true, B&S has probably burned more plot this season than all those shows put together, so perhaps four is all they need to wrap things up. And I’d rather have four great ones than five stretched. It may well turn out to be a creative decision, based on plot pacing and actor availability and other production concerns. Still, I’m gonna hold a grudge against ABC just on principle.

    Ha, I’ll join you in holding a grudge against ABC on principle. ;)

    I would like to think this was a creative decision, in the sense that it would be better to produce 4 episodes at a more comfortable pace than try to cram in a 5th and potentially strain them all.

    Here’s hoping this final string of episodes ends the season on a strong note.

    Amen to that! Would love to see:

    St. Patrick’s Day episode: Walkers are half-Irish, after all (and aren’t McCallisters Irish, too?)

    Savage Sarah, with Graham or guest (Noah! and Tom Everett Scott needs to be rescued from Cashmere Mafia)

    Getaway road trip to Borrego Springs, California during wildflower season (Attended very romantic wedding there in 2005)

    Better writing for Jason! The whole Malaysia thing-oy. And lose the halo!
