Tonight: Let’s start at the very beginning

Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear. When William Walker was alive. When Holly was just a mysterious blonde. When Kitty was dating a rich Republican who is not Rob Lowe. When nobody thought Brothers & Sisters would last the month, much less the whole season.

It’s the debut so nice they made it twice, ditching cast members and show runners along the way. The second draft, the “Patriarchy” being broadcast as a re-run tonight, is usually tagged as an inauspicious beginning. Watching it now, will we feel like we’re watching a different show? Will we miss the rhythms that the cast fell into over the course of 23 episodes? Or will we wind up saying, “Hey, now, that wasn’t so bad.”

Tune in tonight to find out. And read the recap here tomorrow.
