New Series on NBC: Parenthood Premiers 3/2

February 28, 2010 by Momstart 9 Comments

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:

Hawthorne New TNT Series needs more of Michael Vartan

June 15, 2009 by MomStart 1 Comment

So this new series on TNT Hawthorn is Jada Pinkett Smith’s new series, but all I want is more Michael Vartan. I just loved him on Alias, I was so glad he was alive in the end. I knew people that quit watching when he was killed off.

Nurse Christina Hawthorne is the head nurse and putting out fires left and right while dealing with the death of her husband. It just didn’t have enough drooling factor for me, but the storyline is appealing and the characters are well developed for a pilot.

“Pilot” – Premieres Tuesday, June 16, at 9 p.m. (ET/PT)

As TNT’s dynamic new series opens, Christina Hawthorne, chief nursing officer for Richmond Trinity Hospital, races to work to try to prevent a suicide attempt by David, an end-stage cancer patient and best friend to her husband.  It is the beginning of a long day for Christina, a day that happens to be the first anniversary of her husband’s death.  Putting her mourning on hold, Christina turns her focus to Ray Stein, a nurse who gets into hot water when he goes against his instincts and administers a doctor’s questionable treatment; Isabel, a homeless woman who brings a sick infant to the hospital; Camille, Christina’s rebellious daughter who has decided to take a stand for free speech in school; and Amanda, Christina’s former mother-in-law who also happens to be a member of the hospital board.

Watch a special preview here:

The Series Premier of Wedding Day on TNT

June 14, 2009 by MomStart 1 Comment

tnt The “We Know Drama” team has come up with a new idea for a reality TV show, Wedding Day. Actually, in my opinion it’s been there done that, with a twist. I’ve never seen it come together so quickly before. It’s almost like ABC’s Extreme Home Makeover meets TLC’s Wedding Story. You get a heart felt story and the reward is a wedding of dreams. Be careful watching it you might have tears in your eyes.

 

“Holli & Steve” – Premieres Tuesday, June 16, at 8 p.m. (ET/PT)

Just four days before his wedding day in 2007, Steve received a call that his bride-to-be, Holli, had been injured in a near-fatal car crash and had only a 50% chance of surviving.  After six days in a coma, she finally came to, but every day since then has been a struggle to withstand the long, painful road to recovery.  Holli and Steve’s walk down the aisle includes a New York shopping spree, a Badgley-Mishka wedding dress and Manolo Blahnik shoes.  The couple even gets to enjoy a special performance by Boyz II Men, who were moved when they heard Holli and Steve’s story.
