    The continued ooey-gooey goodness of TV's best family drama is particularly satisfying tonight, spotlighting story lines from the underutilized Joel (Sam Jaeger) and the oddly interesting Crosby (Dax Shepard).

    What is wrong with Parenthood this season? New writers? Most scenes this season involve conflict and are rather chaotic. And the ending of episode 1 seemed so contrived and unrealistic.
