I like many others, think that Parenthood continues to be robbed year after year when it comes to award nominations. What other show is as true to life as it is? This show -- on a weekly basis -- makes me laugh and cry, all in the same hour of TV. The cast is second to none. I WISH I was part of the Braverman family.
This show continues to hit on issues that have been lacking from many shows: teen pregnancy; a Marine returning from Iraq; a mom with cancer; Asperger's; adoption; bullying. Not to mention the "normal" topics it hits on exceedingly well: marriage woes; sibling relationships; kids going off to college; grandparents; teenage romance; dating your boss; divorce; mothers-in-law. They talk about all of these topics and they do it with humor and realism, allowing you to truly become invested in the characters. Parenthood really does it all, but yet, still no award nominations and an increasingly shorter season each year. I love this show and I love the Bravermans.
