Pilot review: Parenthood

I know it was on a week and a half ago, and I really did watch it within a day of it airing, but I'm just getting around to the commenting on it now. It'll be brief.

I have vague memories of the movie Parenthood. I don't have any memory of the first TV series Parenthood (but hey, look at that, Joss was one of the writers). This isn't actually significant accept to say that I'm acknowledging that those two things exist. I really only have two other things to say:

1) I never watched Sports Night, Six Feet Under, or anything other than the pilot of Dirty Sexy Money and yet, for some reason, I am sick of seeing Peter Krause's face. I don't know why. He's not unpleasant to look at. He's a good enough actor. He did his job in this show as well as could be expected. I just have this weird feeling like I've been staring at him for a decade and I'd rather not do it anymore.

2) If I had any desire to watch a family drama, I'd probably watch this one. I love Lauren Graham. Her chemistry with Mae Whitman (Her?) was great and seemed like it could be an enjoyable relationship to watch. Monica Potter made me cry. Erika Christensen was pulling off making me like her and hate her at the same time, which I think was exactly what she was supposed to be doing. I also really enjoyed her trying to come to grips with her daughter liking her husband better and saying "So, she will be like a relative of mine." Anyway, I could probably enjoy this show if I wanted to watch it.

That's all.
