After 6 seasons, only 2 of which went for a full 22 episodes, Parenthood drew to a close in January.  The second attempt to turn the hit 1989 film into a television show clicked with enough viewers to survive as a bubble show for its entire life.

Parenthood followed the lives of the extended Braverman family through good times and bad, from high school graduations and child births to cancer and, ultimately, the death of the family’s patriarch.  While the show was never one of my absolute favorites, it did manage to stick on the DVR over the years, despite numerous times where it piled up for weeks at a time.

Now that the show has drawn to a close, I will miss the weekly dose of Mae Whitman and Lauren Graham on my television.  Hopefully they turn up again real soon.
