Adam's new career - he become the manager of a facility that manufactures deus ex machinas.

Where can I get insurance coverage that has that fast service on claims?
Maybe the Academy will burn next week and Adam & Christina can use these super fast magical insurance payouts to travel to the Caribbean to avoid the child services for leaving a toddler unattended at home.

I hope this show does not get renewed.

If Seth Holt had shown up at the junkyard with a moose, I'd be waiting for the Northern Exposure theme music to play.

BRAVERMAN OF THE WEEK: Pauley

I find it insulting how the writers disparage the value of Faith every chance they get.

ZEEK is Braverman of the Week (hands down no contest)
Close second as Braverman of the Week: Cashew Butter.

They might as well as had Joel put on a leather jacket and jump over a shark on water skis when he left their house.
I actually think Camille ATE the marshmallow while it was still on fire.
Several satisfying looks from Camille in different scenes (esp the fire pit scene) are signs that she will change her mind about…

Does anyone else say "You've got Mold" in your head in the AOL voice?

PARENTHOOD SERIES FINALE: In the near future after school/luncheonette bankruptcy, divorce, mold, and general incompetence — all the Braverman children have moved back over the years to the Braverman Manse with Camille/Zeek. They all die from Wi-Fi Cancer Beams. Fade to Black.

John Corbett says, "Amber…you're a long way from the corner of happy and healthy." —>> Collects check. Did anyone else get a Applebees AND a Walgreens commercial in the break right after the 1st Seth scene?

Shows need to have continuity - if not for common sense, then to keep their dedicated fanbase core from revolt/confusion.
As many commenters have pointed out, the Julia/Joel roles were reversed in season one with the mother who got too close to Joel. The writers don't seem to remember this. They do remember than…

1. I'm glad to see Ryan go. I hated the character. I was also glad to see Heather leave after the election. Hugs. Now leave.

my options for BRAVERMAN OF THE WEEK:

I would like to see a webisode shot completely from the viewpoint of a desperate Tony Mann who can't seem to get any traction in the mayoral race because of the Braverman and Little candidates.

Up next week on Parenthood: Crosby is visited by FBI agents looking into election fraud reports.

I like the way Crosby's vote seller guy functioned as a Greek Chorus for all the people in Berekley who have not been sucked into the Braveman void. We finally get a glimpse of how normal people in that universe see how odd the Bravermans are without the benefit of a "previously on Parenthood" updates.

I thought the deaf girl should have thrown Skittles at Kristina to cement the "victory" in the loss.

The Bob Little van invasion felt a little like the Joker parade in the 1989 Batman movie

The way the show is directed in a scattered chaotic world always disturbs me. But I can't figure out why there were so many closeups and shots of the CARROT that Amber was eating.
