Join Tess, Jenna, Elizabeth and Chloe as they discover their own answers in the nation's longest-running quirky romantic comedy about contemporary Asian American women, their lives and their loves.

It was certainly the best show I've seen all year." * "Thanks for making my visit to Seattle worth every cent" (Denver resident) * "This episode showed great depth, yet was even funnier than ever!" * "The script was so original, funny, and creative - our stomachs started hurting because we were laughing so hard." * "This
is the best thing I've seen in Seattle!" * "We just love SIS and every one seems to get better and better!" * "They're so addicting!" * "cute and clever" * "We really liked the use of video...they were awesome!"
