Last night's Parenthood was filled with its usually comedy mixed with drama that Jason Katims and the team of Howard and Grazer are known for, but I am disappointed with how low the viewership is for this show. Like Friday Night Lights, Parenthood is a good family drama without the football. It's in a decent enough time slot on Tuesdays at 10pm but going up against CBS's The Good Wife is proven to be a difficult task. But knowing how NBC treats its good shows, Parenthood may not be treated fairly and not given a chance. But, I love this show and here's why:
You have a great cast that clicks so well and how can you not love Lauren Graham! Take how she reacted to being the last to know about Crosby's son Jabbar. It was so well acted and her one liner "it has to be true, you couldn't make up a name like Jabbar" had me holding my side from laughing so hard! It's a feel-good makes you smile dramedy that tackles strong subjects like absent parents or child paternity. Tell your friends about this show, and if you can't watch it on Tuesdays at 8pm, watch the replay on Saturdays at 8pm or online.moreless

- Mark: Amber told me about the paper. Sarah: Oh, she did? I'm really impressed. I couldn't tell you. Mark: And her new paper wasn't half bad, either. Sarah: Doesn't seem like something that came off the Internet, does it? Mark: No, no, no, it sounded just like Amber. There's not a lot of downloaded papers that use the word "suck" with such frequency. Edit
- Crosby: Oh, my God. Julia told you that I have a son. Sarah: Julia knows? Crosby: Adam told you? Sarah: Julia knows? I'm the last to know? Edit
- Adam: Crosby has a son. Sarah: Pfft! Shut up. I thought you were actually telling me something. Adam: I'm serious. Listen to me. He has a five-year-old boy named Jabbar. Sarah: There's no way you could make up that name. Adam: I'm serious. He has a little boy, okay? Sarah: Since when? Adam: Since five years ago. Sarah: No, since when have you known? Adam: Oh, couple weeks. Sarah: Couple weeks? Adam: Don't make it about the fact that you haven't know until now. Sarah: How could you keep that from me? You're the worst liar in the family. Adam: He asked me not to tell anybody. Sarah: And you actually did that? Edit
