Ron Cowen and Daniel Lipman were like Lynn Marie Latham and Bernard Lechowick in that they wanted "Sisters" to be unpredictable, so that the average viewer wouldn't know what to expect from week to week. First of all, that isn't exactly how (primetime) television shows work. Most shows, no matter how well-written, are designed to be at least somewhat predictable for any number of reasons (episodes have to hold up to multiple viewings, they need to be produced as efficiently as possible in order to keep down costs, viewers' innate need for comfort and familiarity, you name it). Second, unless you're Edward Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz, and you maintain a very firm grip on all aspects of your shows, including the characters and storylines, your show will become too uneven for even hardcore viewers to keep up with.
