They’ll be back, but first, some out-of-sequence repeats!
September 30, 2007.
That’s the date to mark on your calendar, the date when the re-runs go ‘way and the brand-spanking-new episodes of Brothers & Sisters return to your screen.
That leaves nine Sundays to go. And 11 more episodes to re-run, if ABC were to show a re-run every night and go exactly in sequence from last week’s “Sexual Politics.”
So, of course, they’re not.
That episode of “Something Ida This Way Comes” that was scheduled for this Sunday? It’s gone, banished like a bad memory. If you’ve been trying to think of drinking games involving siblings guzzling wine in closets? Your work is all for naught. Save it for the DVD.
No, according to ABC press releases, this Sunday’s showing will now be the perfectly wonderful “Valentine’s Day Massacre,” which had originally been scheduled for August 5. Taking its place on that first Sunday in August will be “The Other Walker,” leapfrogging “Love Is Difficult.”
It will be nice if this schedule-shifting indicates a commitment by ABC to then run a re-run every single Sunday until the second-season debut. They’ve got just enough now, and “Matriarchy” will be a nice springboard into whatever’s planned for the Walkers going forward. Do we dare trust a network? Naaaah.
Brothers and Sisters, ABC, scheduling, re-runs
