When I first heard about Parenthood, my husband was telling me of a re-cast for the show and it hadn’t even started. Maura Tierney was supposed to be in the show, NBC postponed the show for her Breast Cancer Treatments, but then she resigned and they reluctantly re-cast her. I believe the recast went to Lauren Graham; the role as Sarah. I like both actresses, I think I like Maura more because she was on ER. You know, even my grandmother is looking forward to this show. She likes Lauren more because of Gilmore Girls. Never would have picked my grandmother as a Gilmore Girls fan.
The song, Forever Young, used in the movie in a few different places is a tear jerker. It’s not my favorite version of it but it still brings tears to my eyes when I hear it. Wishing to stay in that perfect moment forever, I ask my kids to stop growing up.
NBC sent me a screener of Parenthood and it’s defiantly a show I could get into. After spending a long two weeks with my family, I find myself wishing I was in the Braverman family. Man, the grandparents are the most understanding people I have seen. They let their now single daughter, with uncontrolled children move into the house. They have meals together completely civilized. Now, maybe all this easy going stuff is just for the trailer right? Or is that what America needs, maybe we are finally going to be getting a show that goes back to love. There will be drama, current relevant family drama, but the rest is going to be how a family unit comes together and fights their problems as one. I’m sure this is going to be a show that will have me in tears often. I was crying just watching the premier.
I think NBC is trying to reach out to all the audiences out there with a single mom of two teenagers getting into trouble and the good son with a child diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, grandfather who favors tough love but falters when his kids needs him, a woman so excited about becoming a mother that she purchased sperm, and an unprepared man who has suddenly become a father.
Here is a Sneak Peek:
That sounds like a great show, but it seems like every time NBC has a great show they take it off the air.
I am looking forward to this show. I love Peter Krauss, he is one of my favorite actors. Thanks for the reminder when it starts.
I am so ready for a new good show to get into.
It looks like I am going to enjoy this one.
I hope I do
I wonder if this is based on the same characters from the movie? It’s been a long time, but I recall being entertained by the film. Plus, it had Keanu Reeves in it, which is an automatic must-watch for me. 😉
I am soooo excited to watch this show. I keep hearing commercials for it on the car radio as I drive my kids around to school and such, and every time I just smile! Hope it is as good as it sounds!!
Can’t wait to watch this show…hope it lives up to the hype. Thanks for the reminder!
I have seen the previews but did not watch it last night (American Idol and Lost were on!!!!) But if they re-show it, I will definitely give it a try. There were parts that looked funny and heart warming too. Maybe a good family show. Let’s see how long NBC keeps this one. Thanks for the review.
i like both actresses too!
