Parenthood Season 1


You almost need a scorecard to keep track of all the characters and story lines that get crammed into each episode of this hit NBC series, which is based on the equally popular 1989 Ron Howard movie. Like with the film, it’s the strong cast that helps guide you through the turmoil these rather inept parents go through on a daily basis. And like the movie, it’s the adults who are worth watching; the kids are downright annoying. Lauren Graham deftly captures the humor and sadness of being a single parent in ways that feel particularly fresh.
