Sunday night must-see TV....
I love watching TV on Sunday nights! The combination of "Brothers & Sisters" and "Desperate Housewives" just can't be beat. I'll leave "The Sopranos" to other people, thankyouverymuch.
As far as tonight's "Brothers & Sisters,"I know I should be most excited about another appearance by Kevin's future love interest, Jason MacAllister (Eric Winter). While I look forward to seeing the relationship unfold, I REALLY want to see the big brawl between Nora (Sally Field) and Holly (Patricia Wetting). These actresses have five Emmys between them (not to mention Sally's two Oscars) so I look to them to elevate the catfight to a new level - far beyond the standard set my Joan Collins and Linda Evans all those many years ago. I still remember the Krystle Carrington line: "If ya want a rematch, just whistle...If ya can!"
MEOW!
An hour earlier, on "Desperate Housewives," we will be delighted by another guest appearance by the brilliantly funny Alec Mapa as Gaby's pal Vern. Alec just killed 'em at the GLAAD Awards in LA last month and usually steals every scene he's in so this should be fun to see. The absence of Marcia Cross is really felt on this show in recent episodes but it's nice to see Nicollette Sheridan's character developed a little bit more. And will Lynette (Felicity Huffman) have an affair with the handsome chef at her restaurant? Who could blame her? Hubby Tom has become such a DRIP!

Greg Hernandez has covered the entertainment industry for the Daily
News since 2001. He's considered a bit odd by some for his obsession
with box office numbers, has been known to camp out near the kitchen
at premieres for first crack at the hors d'oeurves, and Greg's never
seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.

Just love Sally Field in Brothers and Sisters, however I'm getting a little tired of Desperate Housewifes (I can't stand Gaby's new man toy), and the story line with Susan and Mike is just getting old. I think she should have stayed with Ian (he's much cuter than Mike). Although I wish Kevin on Brothers and Sisters would find someone more likable along the lines of Scotty (or maybe Scotty himself)
