'Brothers & Sisters': Cast wonders if Season 5 will be their last
ABC's reduced order of an 18-episode Season 5 rather than the typical 22 for "Brothers & Sisters" have raised some red flags. Apparently, even the cast seems confused as to what the smaller order means."In my negotiation," Rachel Griffiths, who plays Sarah Walker, tells TV Guide. "I asked, 'does 18 mean it's the last season?' I would love to know. I feel like this is the last season, but I don't know for sure."
It's no secret that the series has been trying to cut costs for next season. So, that may be why the order was cut to just 18 episodes. It was rumored that they were going to be cutting the fat on the show by killing off at least two characters in the finale. Rob Lowe may have made death No. 1 easy by leaving, but is Patricia Wettig the rumored cost-cutting death No. 2?
Regardless, even Walker matriarch Sally Field seems open to the idea of Season 5 being their last.
"We'll be real ready," Field says. "We're tired!"
Do you think it's time to put "Brothers & Sisters" out to pasture?

i love this show. :(
Not surprised, I used to love this show, but it's been struggling for a while. A final season to see them out would be good, especially if the producers know that fact in advance.
This show is past its best. If It ends it ends. Its better to bow out gracefully than to go on and on like the X Files.
NOT AT ALL!!, this show is one of the few well made, great acting, and very interesting show that hasn't yet "jumped the shark", 5 seasons just ain't enough of the great Walker family. I think it's got legs for at least 6-7 seasons.
I fell in love with the show.i hardly don't want to believe that this could be it.This is the first series i have watched that has brought out so much that happens in our day to day lives.It captures its audience in a way i never felt before.The aspect of appreciating gays,politics,HIV,cancer etc is just amazing.a big shout out to the entire crew,the cast......everyone.
I and my friends cant wait for season 5.Please make it happen.from KENYA,AFRICA we love you!!
what great actors its such a joy to watch its much more entertaining than we get in ENGLAND
I have one thing to say... this show ends... my life ends!
im obssesed
Show canceling would be a bad thing. Why not get rid of the weak comedy part and make the show a really dark one with murders and such. Rachel Griffiths' talent is wasted on these weak writers. She's probably the best dramatic actress in the biz. Same with Sally. I would think any drama would want to grab either of these academy ranked actors. Come on writers. Give us something good.
This is like one of maybe two shows actually still worth watching on TV.
Can anyone tell me the name of the actor who is currently playing Calista's love interest? I just can't locate him anywhere on the internet.
