Brother & Sisters has added two new recurring faces to the cast for next season, one of which could become Sarah's new love interest.

While producers are keeping mum on which of the actors will emerge as Sarah's new fling, let's just hope it works out this time.

The Loop Wow, considering last...

The LoopWow, considering last night’s main plot point, I’m gonna have a little trouble keeping this thing PG-rated. What’s that you say? You missed the episode? Well, suffice it to say it involved Sam suffering a groin injury and a treatment method that prompted Lizzy to ask, “You want riverboat-style or regular?” That’s the line, folks. I ain’t crossing it. Besides this little bit of naughtiness at the hands — ha! — of the smokin’-hot Sarah Mason, last night’s ep was so-so, mostly because the show seems to be repeating itself. Sure, all TV shows have a formula to which they adhere pretty consistently, but the whole “Sam screws up big, then saves the day completely unintentionally” thing has officially become old.

The Loop There are many reasons...

The LoopThere are many reasons why I like this show, Sarah Mason's booty dancing on the bar being only one of them. But oh, what a reason. Fanboys, you with me? Of course you are — I've read the message boards. Fangirls, how about you? No? OK then, moving on…. Week 2, ladies and gentlemen! I say Sam and the gang deserve a hearty round of applause for making it this far — mad props to Fox for keeping a non-megahit on the air — it's pretty refreshing. More importantly, it allowed us to answer the age-old question: If I were made entirely of smoked-turkey cold cuts, what would I look like? The answer: disgusting, yet attractive to wild felines. Sully's turning out to be the Gob of the piece, which is definitely not a complaint — someone's gotta deliver th read more
