So “Parenthood” came back last night. I liked it, I don’t know if I loved it.

I was annoyed that Jasmine and Crosby were living apart with no explanation. In the finale he was ready to go off and live with them, now they are long distance.

I loved the idea of Sarah going to work with Adam, but again . . . what happened to plans to go to college? It seems like a lot of ideas from last years finale were just dumped. Also perhaps I missed it, but where did her kids go! They are still in the opening credits, but weren’t in the episode.

I liked learning more about Joel’s background as a contracter and why he was the stay at home parent (because of the economy). Loved him standing up to Zeke in this episode, who thought he was Mr. Fix-It. I just want to see him do the same to his wife, who has decided they should have another kid.

I felt the previews for “the season” were better than this premier episode. I really want to see Crosby facing off with Jasmine’s family, my guess over where Jabar should live. I also love Billy Baldwin’s addition to the cast as Adam’s boss and a love interest for Sarah.

Spoilers for the next two episodes are after the jump.
