Parenthood: Wait . . . Crosby Knows Best?
It’s been since the premier since I wrote about “Parenthood,” so this is more just my thoughts on the various story lines.
First up, we finally saw Adam and Crosby back at work at the Luncheonette. I worried they might be forgetting about that place. Adam, never happy, found a way to up their game after a conversation with Mr. Ray. He now wants to become a label and produce artists, not just record them. Crosby tried to set him straight. Yeah, it was really odd to see Crosby be right and the voice of reason, which Adam didn’t seem to be interesting in listening too. Oh lord, I hope he doesn’t bet the house on this plan!
Christina’s assistant in this mayoral race is getting on my nerves, as well as Adam’s. Now she seems to be rubbing Christina the wrong way. She’s out for a win no matter what, even if it means selling Christina’s ideas out. I wouldn’t be shocked if we learned she was a mole for Bob Little.
Sarah held her opinion on Amber and Ryan’s wedding as long as she could. When he refused to invite his family, it set up red flags and they argued. As much as she disagreed with her mom, who she felt was projecting her own issues onto her, she too couldn’t overlook the red flags. She pressed Ryan, who admitted his dad was dead and not everyone comes from a close rosy family like hers. From the previews it looks like we learn some of Ryan’s deep dark secrets about his mom and step-father next week.
Julia and Joel’s problems just keep mounting it seems. They disagree over how to deal with Victor. Julia is trying to give him some time to learn to read better, and now Zeke is helping, but it doesn’t look good. Joel is being stubborn with holding him back, and now they are fighting over how Julia does things at home. Now that he’s back to work, he wants to have authority over the stay-at-home mom stuff too because he did it for so long. Sorry buddy! From previews it looks like there are problems to come with a female employee/co-worker of Joel’s and possibly an improper relationship. Poor Julia! Joel used to be one of my favorites, now he’s just coming off like an ass.
The storyline with Drew is as boring as Hattie’s storylines were. Too bad we couldn’t send him to college and not see him like Hattie! Drew is crushing on a girl and trying to impress her so badly. Since they failed to make Drew gay, my guess is his crush will turn out to be a lesbian. I mean hello, Joanie Mitchell?
I think they are setting up this boring storyline with Drew so we can watch him get close to a new girl. Then, his ex is going to show up (I can’t remember her name) with their BABY and we’ll discover that she walked into the abortion clinic but never went through with it. Whaaaa???
