New York Times �Parenthood,� a family drama that begins on Tuesday on NBC, is unexpectedly compelling, even though it looks almost exactly like �Brothers and Sisters� on ABC. It is in Berkeley instead of Pasadena. Alessandra Stanley
Pop Matters The problem with crafting a show after a movie as popular as Parenthood is that it now feels familiar to the point of clich�. While NBC�s series is shorter on comedy and longer on drama than Ron Howard�s 1989 film, the material still feels rehashed at lukewarm temp. Daynah Burnett
San Francisco Chronicle NBC’s “Parenthood turns out to be a wonderful adaptation and revision of the original movie that was directed by Ron Howard. Tim Goodman
USA Today Compared with the movie, which centered its story squarely on parenthood, the TV version takes a broader approach, spending more time with the children and taking more interest in the middle generations’ sibling relationships. Robert Bianco
