“Parenthood” was first out of the gate with new shows starting on January 1st. However that’s because there are only a few new episodes before it ends the season and new NBC shows take over. Boo! Why can’t they give this show a full years run?

Kristina ended up shaving her head due to the chemotherapy, but then was hurt when she got looks in public. This gave her serious self-confidence issues, and Adam made things worse by buying her a really bad wig. She thought Adam was basically saying he didn’t like how she looked. Max thought it was awesome and she looked like Bain from Batman. I thought she looked like the Veeeeger character from the first Star Trek movie. Amber, who had nothing else to do since she broke things off with Ryan, saw a project just sitting in front of her. She bought Kristina a nice wig, and arranged for a romantic weekend getaway for them. The story was a nice lighthearted touch to what has definitely been a downer of a storyline so far.

The temporary peace and happiness was over at Joel and Julia’s as Victor began asking about his real mom, when he could tell her how good he was doing in school, when he could see her. He didn’t seem to understand that wasn’t going to happen. Julia tried to explain the court took her rights away because she was in prison and was an addict. I thought last season she signed them away? He still didn’t understand, and ended up tossing a metal bat towards Sydney and through a metal window. Julia lost it, and Victor now wants nothing to do with her. Oh dear! And they were getting along so well too.

Finally Jasmine dropped a bomb on Crosby. No, she’s not pregnant yet. However Renee lost her job and is broke. At first they thought they could just lend her money to get by, but it soon became apparent that Renee was going to have to move in with them. Crosby was not thrilled, but agreed to give up his man-cave to turn it into a room for Renee. Part of me loves that Renee is now indebted to Crosby. However I know she’ll take over the house and just cause major problems. I wonder if she knows they want to have another kid? She’ll just micromanage everything.

The previews for next week did drop a pregnancy bomb, but it’s Amy and Drew who are having a kid. Oh brother! I hope Drew is smart enough to suggest a paternity test, because Amy kinda seemed to be sleeping around a bit before they got back together. However I’m sure he won’t, and if Sarah suggests it then he’ll throw a hissy fit.
