<p>Ray Ramano will be returning this year for 12-15 episodes, which is usually the show’s number of episodes. Thankfully NBC has some faith and Parenthood got 22 episodes.</p>
<p>I do a series recording and watch it while I’m on the treadmill. It was nice to see one after the other. I was thinking it was losing steam when they cut down the episodes last season - glad to see it picking up.</p>
<p>I liked the Ray Romano character. The Ritter character (is that John Ritter’s son?) annoyed me with the stammering. I don’t find that charming.</p>
<p>Yes, that’s John Ritter’s son.</p>
<p>Can’t wait.</p>
<p>Parenthood returns tonight at 10!</p>
<p>I used to almost cringe watching Jason Ritter’s and Lauren Graham’s scenes; I didn’t see any chemistry whereas I find Ray Romano is perfect both in age and brooding character - so glad he is coming back.</p>
<p>Thanks for the heads-up, Alwaysmom. I didn’t know it was returning. Setting the DVR.</p>
<p>Seriously…there are about 3 TV shows other than news, AndersonCooper360, etc. that I enjoy. WHY did they have to put Parenthood up against Elementary!!!</p>
<p>^^^ thank goodness I have a DVR option. I like both shows.</p>
<p>Soooooooooooo excited. But sad that for the first time I won’t be watching with ds2. :(</p>
<p>jonri, I always have that problem. The shows I enjoy always seem to be on at the same time. So, I use the DVR and we’re fortunate to have western stations on our cable. That way, if there are three different shows at the same time, I can watch one and record the other two.</p>
<p>Not even a mention of Haddie. WTH? I cried at the proposal.</p>
<p>Parenthood know very well how to make you cry in the last couple minutes of the show.</p>
<p>I was caught off-guard by the proposal- a little emotional too.</p>
<p>I knew I’d cry watching the homecoming scene as I’ve been to one and they make it incredibly emotional. Adding on the music and the proposal just added to it. I read a spoiler early this summer about Ryan/Amber and knew it was coming but didn’t know when.</p>
<p>As a Mom with a S who has done one deployment to the Middle East and will do another one next summer, the proposal scene really got me. Love Amber.</p>
<p>Are they really naming the baby Eieta? ugh.</p>
<p>Had a tough decision deciding whether to DVR Grey’s Anatomy (2 hour episode) or Parenthood. Glad I went w/ Parenthood.</p>
<p>FYI - Haddie is really in college. Discussed by one of cast on Today show.</p>
<p>Packmom, I posted about the new Comcast x1 below. It lets you dvr up to 4 shows and watch a 5th. Came in so handy last night! If you have Comcast triple play already you might be able to get it. No extra charge except install. My install was free because I was already having issues with my old dvr so I got a free service call. If you upgrade to triple play you can get a great deal (at least they advertise great deals here in )</p>

<p>It’s Aida. Maybe Jasmine is an opera or musical theatre fan, and it came to mind because of the baby’s crying. ;)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I know! Parenthood is one of those shows that I always watched with at least one of my kids.</p>
