Three Sisters (TV Series) (2001) is a comedic exploration of the intricate dynamics among three sisters, narrated through the lens of the man who married one of them. When Steven Keats tied the knot with Bess Bernstein-Flynn, he unwittingly became part of a larger, more complex family unit. Bess, portrayed by Katherine La Nasa, is a perfectionist who juggles her roles as a daughter, sister, mother, and working professional. Her life is further complicated by her newborn baby Charlie and her husband Steven, who often feels like he married the entire family rather than just Bess.
Bess's sisters, Nora and Annie, each bring their unique challenges to the mix. Nora, played by Vicki Lewis, is the sarcastic middle sister who returns to city life after two years in Africa and a divorce. She navigates her new environment while trying to find her footing as a documentary maker. Annie, portrayed by A.J. Langer, is the youngest sister who seems perpetually stuck in her teenage years, struggling to find her path in life and maintain a steady job.
Their mother, Honey, played by Dyan Cannon, adds another layer of complexity with her past as a former Playboy bunny, which has caused significant issues for the sisters. The series also features Peter Bonerz and Edward Kerr, with Brian Scolaro and Paul Hipp joining the cast in the second season as Gordon and Elliot, respectively.
The show aired for two seasons, comprising 35 episodes, and was noted for its refreshing take on family dynamics and its ability to retain audience from its lead-in show. Despite its critical acclaim, it faced scheduling challenges and ultimately went on hiatus, never to return. The series was filmed at Universal City, CA, and produced by NBC Studios.
