Alright, so you’re lookin’ for some TV shows like that Parenthood, huh? I tell ya, that show, it got me hooked. Reminded me of my own crazy family, all them kids and grandkids runnin’ around, makin’ a mess and makin’ me laugh. So, you want somethin’ similar? Let me tell ya what I know.
First off, there’s this This Is Us show. Everyone’s talkin’ ’bout it. It’s about a family, you know, brothers and sisters, moms and dads, the whole shebang. They got their problems, their joys, just like real folks. Lots of cryin’, lots of laughin’, just like life, ain’t it? It’s a bit fancier than Parenthood, timelines jumpin’ around and all, but it’s got that same heart, that same feelin’ of family.
Now, Parenthood, that show, it was simple. Straightforward. You knew what was what. This This Is Us, it’s a bit more…how you say…complicated? But stick with it, it’s good. It makes you think about your own family, your own life. Makes you wanna call your kids, your grandkids, tell ’em you love ’em, even if they drive you nuts half the time.
- They got all sorts of characters in This Is Us.
- You got the dad, tryin’ to do his best.
- You got the mom, strong as an ox, keepin’ everyone together.
- Then there’s the kids, each one with their own struggles, their own dreams.
It’s like lookin’ in a mirror, sometimes. You see yourself, you see your family, you see the good, the bad, the ugly. But mostly, you see the love.
And ain’t that what it’s all about? Love and family? That’s what Parenthood was about, and that’s what this This Is Us is about too. Sure, they got different stories, different faces, but the feelin’s the same. The worries, the hopes, the joys, the heartaches, it’s all there.
I remember watchin’ Parenthood, and I’d be yellin’ at the TV, tellin’ them characters what to do, like they could hear me! “Don’t do that!” I’d say. “Listen to your mama!” Or sometimes, I’d just be sittin’ there, cryin’ my eyes out, because it hit so close to home. And This Is Us, well, it does the same thing to me. Gets me all emotional, makes me think about my own life, my own family.
There’s other shows too, I reckon. But this This Is Us, that’s the one that sticks in my mind. It’s got that somethin’ special, that somethin’ that makes you feel connected, makes you feel like you’re part of somethin’ bigger than yourself. Just like Parenthood did.
Family is family, no matter how you slice it. And these shows, they get that. They show you the messy, the complicated, the wonderful, the heartbreaking parts of family life. And they do it in a way that makes you feel like you’re right there with ’em, laughin’ with ’em, cryin’ with ’em, livin’ life with ’em.
So, if you’re missin’ that Parenthood feelin’, give This Is Us a try. I reckon you won’t be disappointed. It’s got that same warmth, that same heart, that same…well, that same family feelin’. And ain’t that what we’re all lookin’ for, in the end? A little bit of love, a little bit of laughter, a little bit of family.
Now, I gotta go make some dinner. All this talk about family’s made me hungry. And you know what they say, a family that eats together, stays together. So go on, watch your shows, love your family, and don’t forget to eat your vegetables!
And if you find any more shows like Parenthood, you let me know, ya hear? I’m always lookin’ for a good story, somethin’ to make me laugh, somethin’ to make me cry, somethin’ to make me feel like I’m part of somethin’ special.
