Well the season's not over yet, but I'd have to go with the Pilot (Episode #101) :P

When Parenthood premiered on NBC, I was really tired that night and only watched 10 minutes into the show, and was disappointed with what I saw.

However, I noticed the first episode was free to download on my Playstation Portable and I had quite a bit of free time over the weekend, so I thought I'd give Parenthood another chance.

20 minutes into the show, everything started to click. When I originally saw it on television for the first few minutes, I had no idea all of the characters were related. This surprise was really nice and made me wish I had a family like that, all nearby one another, supporting each other.

All of the characters really have a great connection, thanks to the amazing cast. The scene where Sarah Braverman says "Have a good day at school" to her daughter Amber and son Drew is classic. The ending of this episode left me in tears when Adam and Kristina finds out there's something wrong with their son Max. The Pilot is definitely a must-watch episode. Give the show a chance, it will grow on you :sleeping:
- Have A Happy Day<(*-*<)

I think 1.10 NAMASTE NO MORE .. Although there are so many great episodes this season it might be easier to show all of them.

"Solace" is the best yet - the most revealing episode yet - and really opened some storylines for end of season cliffhangers..

I really enjoyed "The Situation". I loved the scenes with Drew, Adam and Max and also with Sarah and Mark - I just thought it was a lovely ep and beautifully acted by all :sleeping:

I've loved Namaste No More and Solace too though, as previously mentioned, they were so raw and revealing. The show has really found a good grounding for each of the characters now and is starting to move in a great direction. I don't want the season to finish!!! :P

Was 'The Situation' the episode where Sarah shouted at Adam about letting Drew down? I think that was one of the best scene's this season so far, or atleast for Sarah's character..

Yeah, it was that one :sleeping: I loved that moment too. It also had some really nice Sarah/Mark Cyr moments! I think that the pilot was a little jumpy but needed to be to introduce everyone but since then it's settled into a really nice rhythm there have been scenes that I've loved in every episode :P

All episodes were excellent. Scenes in each episode were special - Sarah hugging Drew in the rain at the gas station when he ran away to be with his father; same as last episode when Amber runs away and reunites with Haddie; Sarah taking out on Adam her frustration for the way her husband didn't treat her kids; the sibling bonding and support of the 4 Bravermans. The ability of the child actors - Max and Julia's little girl - amazing and honest.

Man Versus Possum and The Pilot were really good. A week before the show started my son was diagnosed with Autism. So the show has helped me feel like I'm not alone!

It is very difficult to choose a favorite episode when the quality of this show exceeds what we have grown to be used to.

I started to watch this show for one reason : Peter Krause. I loved him in Six Feet Under and started to watch Dirty Sexy Money because of him. I think he is an amazing actor. The pilot didn't click with me right away, but I felt I didn't want to give up on the show. I watched the second episode and that's when I was hooked.

Parenthood is about real life, real families. It is raw, it speaks the truth and most of all, it is not sugar coated. I can relate to many situations like dealing with a teenager girl, a child with problems adjusting and learning. Long after the show is over, I still think about it and how true it all feels. It's like someone can feel our frustration of being a parent and reach out to us and say you are not alone.

I feel for once I can watch a TV show that takes their fans seriously and doesn't insult our intelligence. It is touching, moving and uplifting.

I hope writers will keep coming up with great stories.

Man Versus Possum has to be one of our favorites. We have a child with asbergers so to see a show cover the topic was great. we like how they have been dealing with the issue each eppisode and alot of the other topics. it is great family drama and hope it sticks around for years to come

My favorite episode was "Team Braverman". I like this because it shows the realness of life. Life is not always perfect and certain challenges will come up but that does not mean you are not a family in the end. Families have to stick together and support everyone, like they supported Amber , Max and the grandma. It may seem like no one is there for you but your family will always be there for you.

I love all of the episodes and they should ALL be available to watch (especially since I didn't DVR all of them!!)--my favorites are with Sarah and Amber's teacher. I wish that he would be a regular on this show!

I thought "Whassup" was always the funniest episode! And it was the beginning of Steve's roll in the show! I can definitely relate to Haddie's situation when her parent's are snooping around in her room, looking for clue's in her computer! I also thought it was funny that Crosby was just learning how to become a dad, so when Jabbar got his finger stuck in the can, he drove him all the way to the hospital! And Jabbar is just the cutest little thing!

My absolute favorite part of the episode was the ending, of course, when Adam shakes Steve's hand and says 'Whassup?" :sleeping:

I love Parenthood! It's a family obsession! Once it hits 10 O'clock, boom! We're all on the couch! It's great family time, because we can ALL relate to at least one character. I can't wait for season 2!

Thank you!! :P

THe episode when they realize Max has aspergers. It is because of what my husband and I saw in Max that made us take our son to the doctors. He hasnt been formally "diagnosed" but the professionals have scheduled an appointment for him. He was adopted by us out of foster care. He has things he does that are "quirky". We were so close to the situation that we didnt see it. Having the whole Braverman family dealing with it helps my husband. It helps him learn how to relate to Josh even though he isnt as young as Maxs dad:)Unfortunately, we do not have 31,000 a year for a special school. THat is cool. I homeschool my son and he is happier. I hope they keep developing Maxs storyline. Here are some suggestions on plot lines: Parent support groups(Thru Catholic Community SErvices) they have a Parent to Parent network. You help out someone that is new to aspergers. It isnt until 3rd grade we started seeing a change, that our son was having problems. Also, we purchased a book online to explain to our son. It is kid oriented. Now he feels SMART.
]A good plotline would be to have Max overhear an adult referring to him having aspergers[/b]....I think children should be proactive in their healthcare. But, in a positive way.
Love the episode where Max doesnt want to take off his pirate outfit.
I have to say that my husband and I were so bummed they are taking a summer hiatus! We were joking. Great Now what are we going to watch on Tuesday. I am not a TV person and dont like to watch it.

Mt favorite was the Finale. I was so proud of Crosby when he told Jasmine he wanted to go to NY. It would of been so sad if he lost his little man.

I also have to say that I loved the whole season, every show made me laugh and cry! I even watch the opening every time-great song and touching pictures of the cast.

Great job NBC!!!
