Parenthood

[narm]

I feel like a Parenthood stalker.

It got renewed and moved to Thursdays. So, that's good but I know nothing about the Thursday night line up, so I wonder how it will fare.

Against Scandal? Is NBC determined to kill it?

In Canada it was always on Monday nights, a day early, which I liked because there was little on Mondays that I watched. I hope Global keeps it there.

I'm just glad it's renewed, and for a full 22-ep season!

[narm]

Oh wow! I didn't catch that about the 22 epis! That's good. There were like 9 this last year. Kind of annoying. Please, please let Sarah take a bit of breather.

Double posting, because, seriously, my greecies? Why do y'all smite this show so hard?

I love Kristina, and I loved revisiting The Punch Heard 'Round the Market. Hottest Adam has ever been.

[Mugsy]

So what did you think of the latest ep?
Ray Romano is doing stellar work here, and big surprise, he's an aspy himself.

Of course Sarah's latest potential guy is a super humanitarian and a doctor! Yet, he lives in her middle class building? Sure.

Hate how they are killing Julia and Joel. I know each couple needs a storyline, but I figured adopting Victor and adjusting to their new roles as working dad and stay-at-home mom was enough. But no, Julia has some problems with Victor adjusting and she falls apart and turns to another guy. Ugh.

Zeke is a pig. He better clean up his mess before Camille comes home. And he better not go to Italy because I don't think she wants him there. She wants to travel with him, which he rejected, but this trip is with her art friends.

Here I have been badgering folks to watch it, and I haven't watched this week's episode! The kids have seemingly commandeered the tv for Christmas break, but I'll be remedying that tonight.

I know exactly what you are talking about though. I did wander on over to TWOP and read the little recaps. The recapper's utter disdain for Sydney makes me laugh, even though I feel like a Bad Person for doing so. But seriously, all my peeps that watch can't stand the character. Poor kid. She can maybe be a Nelly Olsen type someday. They did make her pretty insufferable.

But... but.. she wasn't even in the episode?!?! Oh wait, it's television without pity. My bad?

Did they really need to have Julia's "other man" be drunk at a school function? Wouldn't it be sadly awkward enough without that?

Ray Ramano killed it with his self-revelation.

It really is a shame no one's watching this. I really hope Monica Potter wins that Golden Globe. She really did deserve an Emmy nomination for last season's work.

I used to watch it regularly and I think that the actors do the best with what is written. I just got to the point where I hated the ENTIRE Braverman family and, since they are not my family and I don't have to deal with them, I stopped watching.

[narm]

Finally got caught up, including last night.

The whole Joel and Julia thing rang very true, until last night's ep to me. Not sure why. I do agree that they did not need to make Eric drunk. Poor guy. And sorry, but I think Julia was totally feeling it with him.

I'm so sick of Sarah's careers. I'm sooooo glad that Ray Romano called her out, because that whole business back when she wrote a play? And it totally got performed and all that? They kinda lost me there with Sarah in general.

SETH!! I love John Corbett.

Eric? Do you mean Ed, Julia's non-affair guy? I hated how they have ruined Joel. He is such an ass to his wife, and for no reason. Since they adopted Victor, he has become a completely different person. His reaction to Julia's "confession" was hateful and over the top. And the catalyst is supposed to be them disagreeing about Victor's education problems, but that seems to not be an issue any more. Yet, Joel acts like Julia ruined Victor, then ruined their marriage.

Like Jasmine and that Oliver guy together, very Odd Couple.
