(Gilmore Girls fan site)Last night, I watched the first episode of Lauren Graham’s new show, Parenthood, in which Lauren plays a single mom named Sarah—the similarity with Gilmore Girls ends there—and…
Déjà vu! I think I may have seen this show before, back when it was called Brothers and Sisters. Uh… No, not quite, because Brothers and Sisters was actually worth watching.
Parenthood, on the other hand, is the kind of show that Lorelai and Rory would watch together. (To make fun of, in case you missed my meaning.) Lots of activity, with trite, shallow, unsympathetic, psychological disturbed characters who constantly prance round and round in circles without going anywhere. Of course, that probably means it’ll be wildly successful! (Like the new Battlestar Galactica, which is also full of trite, shallow, unsympathetic, psychological disturbed characters who constantly prance round and round in circles without going anywhere.)
If you missed last night’s episode, there are apparently repeats scheduled throughout the week. You can also watch it online at NBC.com.
Or if you can’t see it, because—for example—maybe you’re in a geographical region of the world which NBC has deemed to be unworthy of viewing the show, do not fret. Instead, get yourself down to your local video rental place, and see if you can pick up a copy of the first season of Brothers and Sisters, which is a CBS show and actually funnier, more dramatic, and does the whole-family-arguing thing way better, with deep characters that you actually care about, facing compelling conflicts… and even a better “Sarah” (played by Rachel Griffiths).
Now, don’t get me wrong; I love Lauren Graham. But to be honest… I don’t know whether you’re a Mythbusters fan, but in a recent episode, they actually tried to make a candle out of earwax. It was the most repulsive, disgusting thing I have ever witnessed on TV, and that includes the new Battlestar Galactica. Parenthood was dramatic and funny in the same way that Mythbusters episode was dramatic and funny. By the end of the show, when Lauren’s character Sarah cried, in what was supposed to be a touching moment with her son, I couldn’t keep myself from laughing. The scene came off just that silly.
Sorry, I expected more. Maybe next time.

The show was weak. I, too, immediately recognized the similarities to “Brothers and Sisters” and was saddened by the failed attempt at an endearing and interesting storyline. Those who remember the movie Parentood will be disappointed, I believe. Though I’m not yet ready to give up on the show entirely, I’ll patiently wait to view the newest episode online instead of missing what looked like a fine episode of “Chopped” on the Food Network. Perhaps I love the characters of Gilmore Girls too much to accept Lauren Graham in a new weekly show where her character is uninspired, wishy-washy, and (dare I say it!) boring.
