New Show Recap: Parenthood, 5.05, “Let’s Be Mad Together”

There’s a lot for the Bravermans to be mad about in this episode of Parenthood. It starts with Crosby being mad at Adam for trading studio time for the rights to the songs for Ashes of Rome, and gets more dramatic from there.

Parenthood Recap: Please Don’t Blow the Ingredients

This week’s Parenthood opened with a couple we haven’t seen a lot of lately, Julia and Joel. Early in the season they decided to have another baby, last night’s episode opened with them discussing this very topic, semi-naked, and totally in the mood.
