So, wait, you're not watching Parenthood?NBC’s Parenthood is not the most glamorous show on television. Its focus, charting the lives of a sprawling Berkeley, California family, might pale in comparison to, say, Desperate Housewives’ antics on Wisteria Lane. There are no murders, no swapped babies, and no satirical, over the top look at domesticity here.
Which is to say: enough is enough. This is a show that you should be watching, regardless of whether you're a parent yourself or a teenager. (Or, even if you're well past your teen years.)
Over at The Daily Beast, you can read my latest feature, "Why You Must Watch Parenthood," which discusses the reasons why you have to watch NBC’s criminally underrated drama Parenthood, which captures the highs and lows of family life.
On tonight's episode of Parenthood ("Do Not Sleep With Your Autistic Nephew's Therapist"), Crosby deals with backlash from his mistake; Alex's constant visits irk Adam; Kristina and Adam must confront an issue that could hamper Max's progress.

They aren't really the type of shows I'd expect to like on the basis of their premises (I'm more of a West Wing & Veronica Mars, Arrested Development & Extras and Buffy & Angel type of guy to give you some general idea) and I wasn't sold on either immediately, but now I consider them some of the best network drama series out their, and I'm really glad I tried them out for their stellar casts.
