| NBC New Year's Eve Special December 22, 2012 NBC's annual New Year's Eve With Carson Daly has unveiled its lineup. The two-hour special, live from New York City's Time Square and hosted by Daly. Cast members from Parenthood will be among the NBC stars to appear on the show. 12 Best TV Shows of 2012 All television is supposed to evoke emotion, but great television will force those emotions out of you and no other series has inspired as much uncontrollable sobbing or infectious laughter as NBC's refined family drama. From Kristina's brave and beautiful breast cancer arc to the constantly evolving growth Amber has displayed, it's been a privilege to be an extended member of The Braverman Family. Which is, incidentally, comprised of the most talented actors on television. The Best TV Shows of 2012 Parenthood truly hit its stride in Season 4, thanks to Monica Potter's pitch-perfect performance in Kristina’s struggle with breast cancer, Julia and Joel’s fumbled introduction of their adopted son Victor and Amber’s crushing first love with a former soldier. Added to the show's embarrassment of acting riches, Ray Romano, the unlikeliest of romantic heroes, has made himself at home as Sarah's boss/love interest. If the Bravermans are looking to adopt any more, sign us up. NBC moves Parenthood Return Date January 1st "Keep on Rowing" Hank and Sarah go on a proper date; Renee falls on hard times; Kristina makes a bold move. Behind Adam And Kristina's Season 4 Cancer Battle With Peter Krause It's been a difficult year for Peter Krause, who plays Adam on NBC's "Parenthood" (Tuesdays at 10 p.m. EST). The actor has had to fight cancer both on screen with the series' most emotional Season 4 storyline, Adam's wife Kristina (Monica Potter) battling cancer, and off screen with his father and mother's simultaneous battle with the disease.

Also, who else groaned, “Nooooo!” as soon as tipsy Sarah turned the hotel hall corner and bumped into Mark? (Are Sarah’s relationship decisions starting to become as troubling as Lorelai’s?) Time Magazine's top 10 TV series of 2012 This extended-family drama, from creator Jason Katims of Friday Night Lights, has always been good. But its third and fourth seasons have elevated it to one of TV’s best because of how it has hit a memorable theme from FNL: the idea of how community can be, inseparably, both a burden and and indispensable support. Here the community is not a football team but the Braverman clan of Berkeley, Calif., which has been challenged by adoption, autism and, this fall, cancer, without seeming like it’s ratcheting up the stakes unrealistically for emotion. In the Bravermans’ world, to paraphrase The Simpsons, family is the cause of, and solution to, all of life’s problems. And by raising its game to show the genuine drama in real-life challenges, it has become a show well worth adopting. (NBC) Jason Ritter: Will he survive this week's 'Parenthood'? Ladies love Jason Ritter. The 32-year-old actor, the son of the late John Ritter, has been a series regular on Joan of Arcadia, The Event and is now in his fourth season as Mark Syr on NBC's Parenthood. Tomorrow night, his character's future is in jeopardy as his fiancé Sarah (Lauren Graham) continues to juggle relationships with Mark and her photographer boss Hank (Ray Romano). I chatted with the Emmy-nominated Ritter about the show, and tried my best to get him to spill a few secrets. Click here to read the interview |

'Parenthood' season 4: Could NBC extend episode order? Speaking in a conference call to TVLine, NBC's programming head Robert Greenblatt claims that the decision to keep the "Parenthood" order the same is not an issue of quality, but instead it is instead based around the schedule that has already been put in place for the rest of the year: “That ship has sailed for this season, because we have planned the rest of the year very carefully ... But I’m thrilled to see Parenthood get an uplift this year [oftentimes winning its time slot in the demo]…. Jason Katims is one of the best showrunners in drama, and he has keyed into a storyline this season — primarily, [Kristina's] cancer — that has moved the show forward in a great way. We couldn’t be happier about that.” Is NBC in Legal Trouble Over Ray Romano's Character Name on 'Parenthood'? For the past few weeks, NBCUniversal has been trading letters with an attorney for Rizzoli Publications, a publishing house that specializes in coffee-table books on art, architecture, interior design and, oh yes, photography.

And I just respect [Parenthood show runner] Jason Katims so much that it’s going to be a lot of fun. I’m sure I’ll catch a lot of flak from the cast and crew, and I’m looking forward to that too.” |

| Ask Ausiello: March 27, 2012 Question: If Jason Ritter’s NBC pilot, County, gets picked up, what does it mean for Mark and Sarah on Parenthood?

Watch the 5 minute video here where she talks about the show and Kellogg's Share Your Breakfast NBC's 'Parenthood' attacked by Bill O'Reilly: On Thursday night’s O’Reilly Factor, Bill O’Reilly got all het up over a scene from the season finale of Parenthood.

But if the aforementioned County series does get picked up, at least the Parenthood pairing won’t end on a grisly term. “The good thing is that because they’re both Jason Katims and NBC/Universal Shows, it wouldn’t be a case of [Sarah] gets a phone call saying I was in a fiery car crash,” Ritter tells TVLine with a chuckle. “I’d be able to do some episodes to wrap it up naturally.” |

But while last night’s emotionally gratifying finale definitively closed some long-open doors, there are still plenty of unanswered questions lingering over the Braverman family. Read the rest of the article here Crosby's Dilemma, the Next Twist in Julia's Baby Quest and Hopes for Season 4 It was the best of times and it was the worst of times on last week's Parenthood. Jasmine (Joy Bryant) professed her love for Crosby (Dax Shepard), just as his sister, Julia, (Erika Christensen) learned the heart-breaking news that she was not going to be a mother again.

NBC Today Show - ‘Parenthood’ is ‘messy,’ true to reality Actor Sam Jaeger of “Parenthood” tells the ladies of the fourth hour that the NBC drama holds a mirror up to real life, portraying flawed characters and complex relationships. The below clip contains minor spoilers in the for on this weeks promo (ep3.17) Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy Ask Matt: Question: Will Parenthood be renewed? How can excellent shows like that be on the bubble? How can people watch The Bachelor enough for it to keep coming back? - Richard Matt Roush: I'd be surprised if Parenthood doesn't return, for several reasons: NBC is struggling on all fronts, and while this family drama - an endangered species in its own right - is far from a hit, and is ending its run early next Tuesday, it's not an embarrassment. And NBCUniversal owns the show, so is likely to be more tolerant toward one of its few dramatic properties that generates critical buzz and audience goodwill. That said, it's not a sure bet, because very little on this network is. I wish NBC could find a time period earlier in the night to test its appeal outside of the treacherous 10/9c hour (when many people are busy with DVR playback). But none of this has anything to do with the inexplicable appeal of shows like The Bachelor. Train-wreck TV will always exert a fascination for a segment of the audience, and I just they were as eager to embrace shows that aimed a little higher once in a while. Michael B. Jordan Unlikely To Return To 'Parenthood' Any Time Soon (But It's OK) When I caught up with Michael about his role in the latter, I couldn't help but ask about his return to television -- specifically Parenthood.

Casting News - Melanie Kannokada melaniekannokada.com - twitter Melanie Kannokada has been cast on the show, she may be playing Marks ex-girlfriend Kirsten Munson in episode 3.15. The Sentimental Smarts of “Parenthood” There’s a popular theory that the mark of a great TV show is that it dares you to reject it. The most ambitious dramas repel their audiences (“The Sopranos”) or confuse them (“The Wire”) or give them nightmares about bodies dissolving in acid (“Breaking Bad”). The most admirable comedies, such as “30 Rock,” crackle with cynicism. On certain nights, one might imagine that “Seinfeld” had stamped its motto all over the TV schedule: no hugging, no learning. |
