Sarah, her sister Julia (Erika Christensen), who's career as a lawyer is coming between her and her preschool daughter Sydney, and her two brothers Adam (played by Peter Krause - the eldest Braverman child, who's young son Max is diagnosed with Asbergers Syndrome) and Crosby, who discovers after finally agreeing to have a baby in three years with his on/off girlfriend, that he already has a young son he knew nothing about. Nelson), an authoritative figure who wants his boys to boys and his daughters to be princesses, his wife Camille (Bonnie Bedelia), a more peaceful character, and their four adult children. The Braverman family consists of patriarch Zeek (Craig T. I'm already interested to see where her character's going to go. She's vulnerable, and seeking reassurance from her siblings, from Jim (her date) and from her parents. Lorelai was completely confident in herself, even when she was going through difficult times in her life - Sarah is different. While the character is not entirely dissimilar to Lorelai, the pace and style of the show is so completely different to Gilmore Girls that it shows of a slightly softer, less self-assured side to her. In this Pilot episode, we see her moving back in with her parents for financial support, going out on a date with her highschool boyfriend (who's receeding hair line and coffee barrista career come as a shock to the system) and desperately trying to deal with her difficult teenage daughter Amber. She plays Sarah, the mother of two teenage kids, fathered by her ex-husband (an ageing rockstar with a drug addiction), and big financial worries. I, fortunately, love her, and love the show, so I wanted to see what she would be like playing a different character - albeit another single mum.

I set up my tv to record it, but since I was doing nothing else tonight, I decided to watch it while it was on, and I was sufficiently impressed :)Īs I said, one of the reasons I was keen to tune in was my love for Lauren Graham. But alas, the dvd box set was region 1 only, and it seemed unlikely that I'd be getting to see it any time soon.

Based on the Steve Martin film from 1989, created by the wonderful Ron Howard, who was responsible for Arrested Development, one of my all time favourite comedy programmes, and starring Lauren Graham of Gilmore Girls fame, it was something I was definitely interested in. In the third season, Nancy Drew was eliminated completely and the Hardys became more involved in cases of international intrigue.About six months ago, I was doing a bit of online research for my dissertation and stumbled across a link to a new American TV drama (my favourite kind of tv of course) called 'Parenthood'.

Frank and Joe Hardy are the sons of a private detective, and Nancy Drew is the daughter of a criminal attorney.In the first season, stories alternated week by week between the two families, but in the second season the independent Nancy Drew adventures were phased out so that all were working as a team.
