Sisters is an Emmy
Award-winning television drama which broadcasted on NBC for six long seasons,
from 1991 to 1996. The series was created by Ron Cowen and Daniel Lipman, who
also created the Showtime series Queer as Folk and wrote the much-admired Emmy
and Peabody Award winning drama An Early Frost, also for NBC.
The show made
first appeance on May 11, 1991 for a seven-episode test run and was then
improved for the 1991 fall schedule. Sisters was the first primetime network
television series to center particularly on the lives of women, and the matters
regarding them. It was also one of the first 'demographic' hits owing to its
strong female viewership. Other series about women would ultimately follow, but
at the time it was regarded as being innovative.
