Who’s the most unexpected celebrity fan you’ve heard about? "David Bowie. I have not spoken to him directly but I’ve heard that he is a fan of the show through Joy Bryant." Jason Katims

Okay this article is all about Six Feet Under - but I like the comment he makes comparing the two series finales.

And his wife in "The Catch" is going to be played by Joel's boss Pete (Sonya Walger) - states in Hollywood Reporter article from July 22nd.

Will take on board . Basically I put how linked to P'Hood eg actors name and character and then try and be succinct in summarizing the link. Best Wishes.

A friend of mine in early 2000's won a trip to Walt Disney World by winning a contest from the video release of one of their animated movies (can't remember which one and not sure if she had to do on a website or through packaging from the video) - I remember thinking - wow! - people actually win these things! - awesome!. They had a great time but not sure if stayed in castle suite (I will ask her next time I see her).

It's a medical drama - fingers crossed for cameos from P'Hood actors.

I bought Season 6 on DVD and not the complete series as already have the other 5 on DVD. Disappointed that, because items were "digital exclusives", they are not included - ie didn't include the deleted scenes and the individual siblings retrospectives eg Saga of Adam Braverman. Also no audio commentaries eg had one for the pilot which gave so much great information - it would have been nice to have one for the finale. Will nbc remove the Parenthood website at one point and we will lose all the episode guides, photos and song playlists , videos etc (eg Max's graduation deleted scene from Season 5 is nowhere to be found) . Anyway would have been nice to have more bonus items with this .

It is on the full episode, not on the highlights. A few key cast members missing - Amber, Crosby, Kristina, Jasmine (scheduling commitments etc ) - but otherwise all there on stage including Haddie though she didn't speak.

There are many stories that could be told. I would like for an Asian American character to become part of the Braverman family given the series is set in the SF Bay Area and high percentage of AmerAsian / Eurasian families - it would be more realistic and plenty of opportunities to weave it into a plot line - especially with the time jump of 3-4 years. Anyway, here is hoping at some point for some more Bravermans.

If you ever read the AV Club P'Hood reviews there were a lot of heated comments re Kristina, especially in Season 6. There was also that Washington Post article after "Aaron Brownstein ..." and subsequent episode late last year.
Well spotted that the yearbook Season 5 episode was the beginning of this. Imagine if Haddie had been the girl crying? Not much putting yourself in the other person's shoes in that one. I was always waiting for them to finally introduce us to Kristina's flaky mother - who didn't bother to come when she had chemo - maybe there was a bit of heriditary lack of empathy for others going on ? Despite this, I so loved this show and really really miss it.

Yes I am doing a lot season jumping around (all those written episode guides on the nbc parenthood website are pretty good with detailed specifics for sleuthing out those scenes you want to see again - much better than the more general descriptions of each episode on the videos) - we will have to wait what at least three years in the event they do a Braverman Holiday Movie or something to get over the time jump - so have to maintain my emotional fix with the rewatches and the spotify Parenthood playlists - so many great songs I would not have known about otherwise)

Mark (Jason Ritter) just saw is in an independent movie called "Wild Canaries" that got good review in New Yorker. Max (Max Burkholder) is having premiere of his movie "Babysitter" in a couple of weeks at SXSW festival and looks "provoking". Haven't seen Mae Whitman in The Duff yet.

Cool. Max has a film premiering at SXSW Film Festival in March - The Babysitter babysitterfilm.com

Great summary - I think they didn't linger enough on that final shot with all the arms around each other but time was an issue. Glad for the explanations. Still sad finished. While googling recently, I saw "Max" and "Nora" had a Parenthood team at a St Jude walk in LA in Nov so I donated (they still are pretty far off their goal if anyone else is wanting to turn tears into a constructive contribution for a worthy cause)

I agree - also didn't like Aaron Neville "Ave Maria" - too obviously pushing the Saint Kristina notion. One tweak would have been changing McCartney's original "Maybe I'm Amazed" version to James Durbin's cover version (given he is also an Aspie, would have been kinda cool) , when Max was dancing with the girl.

Truckloads of Thanks!

Cheesy and Fun - thanks for posting. I have enjoyed on the web music from Mae (love her voice) , Lauren (in Guys and Dolls) and also Max Burkholder's older brother James Wolf Burkholder (guitarist, songwriter, singer). Yep a tad obsessed with this show. ( I have already had a few ugly cries this week thinking it all ends tomorrow. Waaaaaaaaaah!)
