I'm another watcher. Big Sally Fields fan, and I also love the actress who plays the eldest sister, Sarah. She played Brenda in Six Feet Under, also a favorite show of mine. And, child of the 80's that I am, I adore Rob Lowe!! He has aged - ach! make that 'matured' so wonderfully!
And yes, the show IS getting stupider by the week, but what the hay, it's entertainment.
Peace
