teddy, frankie, alex, georgie...kirby!

I am a huge supporter of getting the cheesiest possible shows from the 80s/early 90s released on DVD. I've long lamented the fact that Blossom has yet to be released. (Remember when Phylicia Rashad guest-starred in a dream sequence as Blossom's mom, and baked her a cake to teach her about her menstrual cycle? Frosted fallopian tubes = awesome!). As my roommate and I were reminiscing about our childhoods via email, another candidate for DVD-worthiness came up: Sisters!



Where were you at 10pm Saturday nights in the early 90s? Well, I was too young to be doing anything interesting, so I was totally watching this show. NBC's Saturday night line-up around this time were just full of awesomeness. Golden Girls (xoxo ladies!), Empty Nest, Nurses...and I think even at some point the freakin' Torkelsons (which is also another show I would love to see on DVD. "Oh, man in the moon...").
Sisters was chock full of soap opera-y goodness, yet I can't really remember exactly what happened. That's why I need the DVD. I know Teddy was my favorite. I read up on Wikipedia and there were a few things that slipped my mind about this show. First of all - I forgot that the Clooney was on it! FALCONER! I think this was the last of the Clooney's impressive run of guest-starring roles before he hit the big time. Anyway, he was hitting it with Teddy.



But the most disturbing lapse of memory...how could I forget KIRBY? Alex's daughter's husband? PLAYED BY PAUL FUCKIN' RUDD??? I mean, he's my number one imaginary boyfriend. Shame on you, Desiree, shame shame shame. You don't deserve the love of the Rudd.



Gosh, he's dreamy.

So I demand: SISTERS on DVD. Thanks.

this comment is about two years too late, but i found this post when searching "sisters tv show on dvd". haha. weeeird.

i just had to tell you that we had VERY similar tv childhoods! i was all about blossom, golden girls, empty nest, nurses, the torkelsons, and especially sisters! (and i can't forget just the ten of us and all the shows that were on tgif!)

i'm so sad that sisters is STILL not out on dvd! :(

anyway, it's just always nice to find someone else who watched the same shows; most of my other friends never watched that awesome saturday night line-up!
