New Season of “Parenthood” brings mixed feelings
By: Renee Rohani Business Manager NBC’s Pilot episode of “Parenthood” aired Tuesday night, leaving me unsure on whether I actually liked it or not. The show includes an great cast of Lauren Graham, Peter Krause, and Craig T. Nelson just to name a few. Yet it seriously lacks any originality in plot. I personally found the storyline somewhat bland and essentially overdone. It felt like a re-run of “7th Heaven”. The storyline follows multiple generations of a family and the ups and down of their lives. Graham plays a divorced mother with two rebellious teenagers. Her brothers, (played by Peter Krause and Dax Shepard), and her sister, (played byErika Christensen) all have their own…
Valentine’s Day movie gives new take on love

Two years ago, in the series premiere, his life was suddenly turned upside-down when he came in contact with a computer program called the Intersect that downloaded top-secret government information into his brain. What is so appealing about the show is its extensive back-story and depth. This fact has earned “Chuck” a panel at San Diego’s Comic-Con as well as a flock of devoted fans. It has invoked so much enthusiasm, in fact,…
ABC gains comedy cred with Modern Family and The Middle
Usually, when I need a comedy fix, I watch shows on NBC like “The Office” and “30 Rock”. Sometimes I watch “Two and-a-Half Men” and “How I met your Mother” on CBS. I’ll even turn to Comedy Central to improve my mood, but never have I ever watched ABC for its comedy. Well, until now at least. ABC is now coming out with comedies that I can stand to watch. For example, “The Middle” is about a typical American family. And when I say ‘typical’ I mean relatable. At one point, the main character, Patricia Heaton’s Frankie, tells her kids that they need to eat as a family. They then proceed to bring their food into the…
