Parenthood: NBC Banking on TV Version of Hit Movie about Family

March 2, 2010 by Lance Somerfeld

Cast of NBC TV show Parenthood

If you watched the Winter Olympics on NBC, you could not help notice the barrage of advertisements for one of their newest series’, Parenthood. This show is being produced from the dynamic powerhouse duo of Brian Grazer & Ron Howard. Are all of the ads and internet buzz worth the hype? Tune in tonight for the SERIES PREMIERE: Tuesday, March 2nd 10/9c.

What is the show about?
According to their site, “Parenthood is a one-hour drama inspired by the box-office hit of the same name (Directed by Howard in 1989 with Steve Martin). This re-imagined and updated production introduces audiences to the very large, very colorful and imperfect Braverman family. Sarah Braverman (Lauren Graham, “Gilmore Girls”), a financially strapped single mother, is packing up her Fresno apartment and uprooting her two inconvenienced kids, Amber (Mae Whitman, “In Treatment”) and Drew (Miles Heizer, “ER”), to make a big move back home to Berkeley to be closer to her family… Meanwhile, Sarah’s sister and complete antithesis, Julia (Erika Christensen, “Traffic”) is a successful corporate attorney trying to juggle work and motherhood, alongside her stay-at-home husband, Joel (Sam Jaeger, “Eli Stone.”).”

Should be interesting! If not, we can always check out their other new show – The Marriage Ref…
