Rachel Griffiths Jokes About "Brothers & Sisters" Cancellation

Although the fate of "Brothers & Sisters" is unknown after the show's May 8 season finale, the bubble show's actors aren't necessarily expecting good news for their five-year-old series.

Rachel Griffiths made a surprise appearance at Australia's Logie Awards show last night (the equivalent of the Emmys) where the Aussie actress joked about heading down to the country's welfare office because she'd soon be out of a job.




According to Aussie TV blog TV Tonight, she told the Logies host, "I'm soon to be unemployed so I checked in with Centrelink ... and said, 'Looks like I'm out of a job and wanna sign up.'"

TV Line reached out to ABC for official confirmation of a "Brothers & Sisters" cancellation, to which a rep replied "No decision has been made."





They'll have to decide quickly, though, considering the network is scheduled to announce its 2011-2012 programming slate at a May 16 upfront presentation.

Rob Lowe left the ensemble show last year, while Calista Flockhart cut back on her episode commitment. The series hasn't been getting the same Nielsen ratings it once was, so this year could be the last time we sit through a wine-fueled Walker family dinner.
