Parenthood ended its way too short 18-episode third season last night, and I desperately hope that we all watched it. DID WE? If you didn’t, you f’d up because all of the plot lines we’ve been dealing with for the entire season were wrapped up and you missed it, like a jerk. If you did see it: WHAT DID YOU THINK? Are you mad that Crosby and Jasmine got married, even though they have a kid together and it was very sweet when they told their kid about it? Ugh, Jasmine. Why didn’t you just marry that doctor?! He was so nice! AND HE WAS A DOCTOR! Crosby! Why didn’t you keep dating that cellist?! She was so nice! AND SHE WASN’T JASMINE! How do you feel about Adam not selling the Luncheonette for so much money? Are you happy that Sarah is maybe back together with Mark, but you aren’t sure if she’s going to marry him because he’s in commercials for some other show now, which you assumed meant he wouldn’t be on Parenthood anymore? Aren’t you so happy that Amber decided to keep her job rather than date that politician? Can you even believe, first of all, that Julia and Joel really didn’t get Zoe’s baby, and second of all, can you believe that they have VINCE now? Adorable, non-baby Vince? OH! And I can’t believe Drew did it with his girlfriend! GUYS! Let’s talk about it. What did you think? CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT IT?

What about the best part? Billy?! FNL crossover!
I WAS pretty upset; their marriage actually made me gnash my teeth in anger. Crosby is still too young to be married!
Steve Martin was pretty funny.
Can someone explain to me in under 25 words why this shoiw is worth watching? This isn’t a critique, it’s a blind spot in my TV knowledge and I’d just like to know if it’s worth my time. Winner will get a $25 gift card to a establishment of my choosing.
Lauren Graham’s face.
Oh, sorry, this was supposed to be in reply to your questions about what to do with all of your soup.
Burn! #literally #unlessitsvichyssoise
Access to water cooler conversations.
Because if you close your eyes it sounds like you’re in a Starbucks.
Three points to Jeb-byndor.
It’s great if you like dramas about families who spend way too much time together and are always poking their noses into each other’s business. And also it’s got Anne from Arrested Development and Nate from Six Feet Under and Wallace from The Wire (second season only) and sometimes John Corbett shows up and plays Lauren Graham’s a laid-back rock star alcoholic ex husband. In other words, it’s great!!
It’s just a really nice and simple family drama with believable plot lines and likeable fully realized human characters/relationships.
Because it’s better than counting to one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen sixteen seventeen eighteen.
Adam turning down that offer was a really sweet sentiment, but DAMN SON! You gots to get paid. Who turns down over 2 million bucks, especially when they have financial problems and can’t afford to send their daughter to the ivy league school that she got into? WILL SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN?
I was hoping…praying…that the drunk friend Billy would end up on the porch outside of Drew’s window while he and his girlfriend popped their cherries.
I kept on yelling, “Use a condom! Julia doesn’t want to adopt 2 babies!” at my tv screen.
They do use one, remember when Drew said “so should we get….stuff?”
That’s what he meant, right?
I must have missed that. Thank god.
I really want a gif of Drew and his girlfriend undressing. That was really funny and awkward.
I’m pretty terrible at making .gifs, but I did it anyone.
Ohohoho, man. This show makes me want to tear my hair out and yet I love it SO much? Why did Jasmine and Crosby have to get married so fast?! (She is terrible and the doctor was so nice.) How did Julia and Joel get an appointment at an adoption agency AND a kid in like 36 hours?! Why would Sarah break up with her boyfriend who she loves so much the night before a family wedding, ensuring her misery at said event?! Why wouldn’t Crosby even sit down with Adam (almost called him Nate) and TALK about $2 million?! Why does Haddie think she deserves a free ride to Cornell and do student loans (huge, shitty ones, I know) not exist in the Parenthood universe?! Why didn’t Amber just find another job and date Bob?! Why do I hate Sydney SO much?! (Can’t wait for the inevitable clash between her and Vince.) GODDDDDDDDD.
The only thing I heartily approved of was those teens sexing each other.
In other words, WHEN DOES THIS SHOW COME BACK??
I love this world in which a dude who has an autistic son, a daughter going to Cornell and a newborn is like, “I don’t need $2 million because my little brother is a stubborn cry baby.” I think they were trying to tie up all the plots and had to squeeze everything into one episode because they wasted so much time on that stupid road trip.
Is it definitely coming back? I thought there was still a chance it could get cancelled, which was why they crammed so much into the episode. And damn Adam… Dumb! Promise your daughter she can got to Cornell, then tear up the offer five minutes later. No wonder she was making that stink face while others were laughing and/or applauding in confusion. And I give Crosby three months before he does something completely stupid and selfish, like sleep with someone else, burn down the studio, or blow a major deal and Adam loses his house because he was dumb enough to expect marriage to make Crosby grow the hell up!
There were so many forced and contrived moments in this episode. I pride this show in having a natural and nuanced progression, every action usually has a sensible, human catalyst. Often it’s subtle and not spelled out, and that just makes it all the more natural, gracious and life-like, but it’s always there. However Sarah leaving her boyfriend was JUST NUTS!!!! EVERYTHING WAS GOING GREAT! The bumps and the doubts were BEHIND THEM!! Then they have completely dumb OH WAIT, WHATZ HE SHOWED UP AT THE WEDDING??? I’m currently watching it!!! Well that was a bit of forced drama with no other purpose but to spice up the finale. Like i was saying, they have a dumb conversation in a bar about how you can’t just go to Ireland with a baby, and she STAYS UP ALL NIGHT thinking about CRAP? Exsqueeze me?! Maybe the catalyst was that she said she maybe couldn’t have a baby, and he insensitively fired off that she will? Leaving a sense a sense that she must have a baby. But who brings that shit in the middle of a casual chit chat, and then takes the unthinking chit chat answer as a reason to break up with someone she’s completely devoted to wITHOUT HAVING AN ADULT CONVERSATION ABOUT IT? And then what, at the wedding he basically says he wants a baby, but he wants them to first be together. WELL DUH, THAT’S HOW IT WORKS! And they get back together. But won’t she feel like he’s constantly baby leering over her, cos he said he wants a baby? So what’s changed? If he said, i first want to be together, and then at a later date when we’re ready, we’ll reach a mutual decision on the baby. But he didn’t say that.
I also found it funny that at the adoption agency Joel says that since they’re widening their net they’re open to all races and ethnicities. Does that mean they wanted only a white baby so far? The RACIST SHITS! Also, they make a point of it still being a baby, and then they get a grown KID? WHAT?
I understand Adam tearing up the napkin(?) (Really, a napkin? Not the strongest, or definitive gesture) as with Crosby backing down, he was now the jerk, and the festivities gave him high spirits. But i mean it happens like moments after he has a talk with Haddie that her schooling is secure. Is it because when he tells her she’s got nothing to worry about she almost rolls her eyes, like duh, why would she be worried, she’s Haddie. Fuck you Haddie!
Also, if i was Drew, and my mom touched my Sex Sweat i would have thrown up. DOn’t touch my SEX SWEAT MOM!!!!
I understand the Amber thing. Kristina totally humiliated her in front of Bob, i wouldn’t feel adequate before him for a long time either. And she also reacted like Bob was using her, so that would make me even more uncertain of myself. But keeping the job seems a little to pragmatic and cold, i would have tried to distance myself completely. Still, hopefully that heralds more Amber / Bob stuff in the future.
And of course, Jasmine and Crosby. It’s fine. I hate them together, but, i understand it. They’re both fuckups. Anyway, i love this show!
Also, couldn’t Amber and Bob just put it on hold until after the election?
The ridiculous mess of this post is a testament to what a Parenthead i am.

My condolences to your wife.
Ha, I don’t even have a wife! Jokes on you, clown! *goes back to cave and cries*
Seriously though, I may have been a little harsh. The show has some genuine good times family spirit, which I respect, but it’s got about 7 Bravermans too many and the storylines make the characters or the writers look bad too often in my opinion (and I don’t mean the characters fall from grace before growing as people, I mean they look like idiots). It’s just fine with a couple elements that grind my gears, but I guess I missed the part where it was suddenly a favorite among the Videogum community, because the few people I’ve talked to about it have never really been anything much more than indifferent to it
You didn’t get that memo on how we all love the show now? Sorry! (why am I responding on a post three pages back? You’ll never read this!)
The kid Julia and Joel adopted is named Victor, not Vince.
This season was kind of boring, but it’s all a setup for next season’s werewolves.
/That was my first Videogum callback. Nailed it.
Wow, the air is really thin up here. Can’t… Breathe…
