Parenthood season premiere review










Fantastic!!! Absolutely love this show.
yes i think it’s going to be 18 because i remember some NBC guy saying the season was going to be 16 eps.. unless they changed that plan
What!!! the show deserve 22 at the least it should get 24 episodes this season
dfdsf
Terrific! I love the cast, and am a loyal fan, but I’d like to see better writing and storylines. More Craig Nelson and Bonnie Bedelia…..with Peter Krause and Lauren Graham….and all the rest.
yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
Yay! Parenthood is phenomenal. I’m especially excited for this season.
Can we have 4 more?
That is good news. It’s one of my favorites!
Great news! One of the consistently best shows on TV.
It is one of my favorites
Were there only 18 episodes last season because I remember the season ended early and I thought it was rather short. I didn’t realize they were giving the show such short seasons. I assumed it was picked up for a full 22-episode season like most shows.
It was a full season of 22, but they premiered a week early and aired all of the episodes almost consecutively, which is why it ended in April instead of May.
Excellent!
Extend it more ! We want 24 !
Isn’t 16 or 18 too short? It makes for better quality but it also is NBC’s # 1 drama. You’d think they’d order more but… whatevs…
Let’s take bets on the next ratings bottomfeeder NBC will sign for a full season. I say “Prime Suspect.” Leave
it to NBC.
