I loved what I saw of Parenthood for the same reasons, plus Mae Whitman. I just couldn't add another show, without a DVR, so I'm planning to get the DVDs later on.
I love how not!Lorelei Lauren Graham is, too.

Yeah. Her character is a mess and is a mess in a way that makes complete sense.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I like Parenthood too, for those reasons, and also it makes me think of my BFF's family (who is sort of mine too), because all the brothers and sisters are all up in each other's business.
I am so sad about Dixie Carter. I loved her on Designing Women so much-- I wanted to be her and just be able to cut people down with my righteous indignation and cutting wit. I did not turn out to be her.

I didn't realize Dixie was 70. Man, she was still Designing Women era age in my head.
Dinner turned out FAB, though there are tons of left overs. Anyone wanna come over?

I would love some leftovers!
I am in tech week (well it is two weeks because we are doing two plays), but I am actually home because I have 2 good students, and they came in from 10 am - 1 am for me. I am thinking it is good to let go, but I feel guilty. I would much rather let go of the 8 am - noon sewing notes than helping plan quick changes, but still...sleep...

Now tagless for your comfort.
I keep meaning to watch Parenthood but keep forgetting.

My cat is meowing and meowning and yowling. I think/hope it is because I haven't been home (which happens) and not because she is having peeing problems which I haven't noticed because I am not at home.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Parenthood is in Hulu.

Always Anti-fascist!
My favorite was the one she gave Ray Don Simpson, the one about how women like to sit alone, or talk to our friends, without having to worry about them. It was awesome. I did not think anyone would do this in real life, though, until I met Deb G. I think I would like "Parenthood" but I have another show at that time.
