Magblaster Spoilers.........................Sorry for my really bad english. This show is not only fun. The parents are under a gigantic pressure from all the demands around them in the society. And they dont trust their nearly grown up teenagers. Especially the girls. Give the teenagers some room please. This show grows on me as the episodes goes by. Really hard work to be a parent. And even more hard word to be af teen as their parents dont trust them at all !!!
tupungato Back in the 1960's some wise sociologists affirmed that weekly television sitcoms and dramas were misleading viewers regarding the struggles one has at home, in school, at work, or about town because the scripts involved tame situations and lead characters were resolving problems with friends, spouses, siblings, and co-workers within only a half hour. In its way Parenthood also deludes the viewer. Within an hour one sees two brothers argue about their failing business, a young separated couple attempt reconciliation, the stubborn family patriarch undergo open-heart surgery, and the confused victim of Asberger's disease go through another outbreak. Because the actors perform very convincingly, whether they express passion, rage, or worry in the face of the unappealing situations that people must unfortunately endure, I have found myself identifying with and even rooting for some of the characters. The makers of Parenthood still don't present life realistically, though. For most of us it often goes by uneventfully.
dest-faith What a great series. Watching this show has motivated me to be a better mother and person in general, while reminding me of my strengths in those areas. I find, too, that where we tend to judge people for their decisions in real life, the show gives you an insider view to their decision- making that you wouldn't otherwise have. I'm describing a story, so obviously this cannot be taken literally in the strictest sense; but this has to seriously be the most relatable show character-wise I've ever had the pleasure viewing. If you're a single mom, a married one, a stay-at- home dad, marrying at 40+, moving back in with your parents, struggling with autism-spectrum disorders as a family member or self, in a mixed- race family or marriage, adopting, adopted, male, female, gay, straight, flexible, underachieving, perfectionist...I can go on. It's just great. "Tugs at the heart strings" has never been a truer description in my viewing experience (and I watch way too much TV).Now the show isn't perfect (but almost). A couple actors have been too clearly type-casted (particularly those who play Sarah and Adam). I just started watching Gilmore Girls, and Lauren Graham is the same free-spirited, jittery, out-spoken single mom who has a friendship with her daughter as much as a parent-child relationship. She dates her daughter's pivotal teacher in each series even. She recently becomes more involved with her own parents in each series, having a reunion of sorts, and the kids in each are just getting to know and bond with their grandparents. She has a potential romance with a cynical guy who borders on hating people altogether in each series. I mean, there are a lot of "coincidences," and I'm still in the first season of Gilmore Girls, so I'm sure there are more to come. I guess "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," but when you see one actor play essentially the same character in a different story, it reminds you amid your viewing experience that this is only a story and thereby takes from that swept-away factor. Adam (played by Peter Krause) is basically Nate Fisher (Six Feet Under) in a parallel universe. His temperament and many aspects of his life situation were so similar that I expected Kristina not to make it when she had cancer, just going off Nate's loss in Six Feet Under. There are also minor plot holes, particularly in the final season, which are bound to annoy the fastidious viewer. No big deal in the grand scheme, but again, please sweep me away! I want to forget that this is all fiction for 45 minutes. I can get to appreciating the writing, production and cast later.Overall, I'm very pleased with this one. Very tasteful, endearing, down-to-earth and *almost* perfect.
SnoopyStyle Zeek (Craig T. Nelson) and Camille (Bonnie Bedelia) are the heads of the Braverman clan. They have four children. Adam (Peter Krause) is the responsible businessman married to Kristina (Monica Potter). They and their daughter Haddie (Sarah Ramos) have to deal with Max (Max Burkholder) with Asperger. Julia (Erika Christensen) is a high stress lawyer married to Joel Graham (Sam Jaeger) with daughter Sydney. They seem to have everything. Sarah (Lauren Graham) is the struggling single mom to Amber (Mae Whitman) and Drew (Miles Heizer). Crosby (Dax Shepard) is the slacker music producer who finds out that he has a son Jabbar with Jasmine Trussell (Joy Bryant) which she just told him.These are all terrific actors in characters that are so well written and developed over the years. They may as well be real family off the screen. It starts off with good family drama. It's not really dysfunction although there are lots of that. This family loves each other. The Asperger storyline is terrific and one of the few on TV that is done well. Somewhere alone the lines, this show became cry TV. Between split-ups, break-ups, cancer and general family drama, everybody on this show tends to tear up. The chemistry between everybody is the soul of this show.
