1.01 - "Movin' In, Movin' Out, Movin' On"

Airdate: Oct 05, 2005

Originally Posted by TheWB.com From executive producer Marta Kauffman ("Friends," "Dream On") comes a one-hour comedic ensemble drama about four sisters ? the Sorelli sisters ? and the special bonds that unite them.

The sisters are also dealing with the fact that their father, Joe (guest star Tom Irwin, "My So Called Life"), has just announced plans to marry his girlfriend, Renee (Christine Ebersole, Tony Award winner for "42nd Street"), a development that has left the women with conflicting emotions.

i liked it!

callum blue's character is so cute and sweet!!

i'm liking how the girls are interacting with each other.. i like that they're so close.. can't wait for more episodes...

It's early to tell, but I have mixed feelings so far. There were some things that I liked and some things that I didn't like.

As far as characters, Annie stood out the most. She has the best potential IMO. The guy with the british accent got on my nerves, I wish he was the one braking up

Basically, the show overloaded the viewers with characters and information. Hopefully, they start to sort things out in the next few eps and get going.

I could definitely tell the Martha Cauffman influence...Friends Fan here...eps. the shots of NY City between scenes

I'm liking the show so far. The opener was funny, and interesting, I like the quirkiness and comedy between the sisters. Hopefully the forthcoming episodes will get better and better. I have high hopes for this show!

You could tell that the two older sisters relate together and the two younger ones relate better, but they are all so close...it'll be funny to see how that works with their busy lives...it's already cause some drama! lol

Interesting to see the different opinions of the show.

I liked the show! Looks pretty interesting! I'll probably watch next week!

I really enjoyed it...definitely felt real to life and I couldn't believe when Ann and her guy (don't have everyone's names straight yet) were breaking up and her sis doesn't know what's going on. It was just all good. Then when they started telling on one another or maybe some of that stuff just slipped out. God, I'm loving Bob...he's so funny.

i was laughing so hard when all the secrets were coming out at the same time at the party... i'm liking it..

though they changed a lot of the scenes from the promos.. i'm interested in seeing the unaired version of the pilot..

Since the show isn't coming back. I thought each week we could pick and episode to go back and talk about starting from the first episode.

What do you remember about the pilot?

Jess, neat idea!

What do you remember about the pilot?
I remember how funny the ending was where all the secrets the sisters had been hiding came out all at once for everyone to hear at the dinner.

First Impression of the show?
My first impression was immediately: "Now this is a show that I could look forward to watching every week." Due to all the labels that had been put on the show even before the pilot episode premiered (ie. "from the creators of Friends and Sex & the City), I had pretty big expectations of the show. And it didn't fall short of them, IMO. Which is why the news of it's cancellation came as a shocker to me.

Favorite character at the beginning?
I liked Rose, her quirky storyline of switching from a pre-med major to a wild, drama student really appealed to me. Probably because I'm a freshman in university right now too, so I can relate to the confusion.

Least favorite character at the beginning?
Sorry, don't have an answer for this one!

Yeah that was great! I think the most memorable part for me was Rose's hair because it was so BLUE!! I also remember the Pug Party

Yeah they hype that up a lot...actually I think that hype it up so much that people put it at too high of a standard and that might be why it failed. I think many people expected it to be a hit right off the bat. IMO I think it had kind of a slow start it wasn't until a few episodes in when they really found their place and the final was (i think) when they were getting the most comfortable with the show! It's such a waste because I think that the second season would have been amazing!

I'm a freshman as well I've changed schools 3 times and majors about 4 times already It's so hard to pin point on thing that you want to do for the rest of your life now. Ginnie was my favorite at the beginning because I loved how classy she was and I really liked her fashion sense.

My least favorite was Marjee. She's still not a character that I particularly enjoy.
