In many respects, the third season of NBC's Parenthood revolves around new starts. In the wake of his layoff, Adam (Peter Krause) and Kristina (Monica Potter) have their third child, while he looks for work. Meanwhile, Crosby (Dax Shepard) and Jasmine (Joy Bryant) pursue new relationships, Amber (Mae Whitman) gets a job with a political candidate (Jonathan Tucker), and Julia (Erika Christensen) and Joel (Sam Jaeger) try to find a way to add to their family after the disappointments of the previous year. These developments present opportunities as Adam and Crosby open up a recording studio and Julia and Joel arrange an adoption with Zoe (Rosa Salazar, very good), a young woman without the financial means to provide for a child, but the unintended consequences include sibling rivalry and a series of inappropriate employer-employee situations. Adam and Kristina also decide to mainstream Max (Max Burkholder), who has Asperger's syndrome, by sending him to public school, which presents a whole new set of challenges. Unlike the other Bravermans, Sarah (Lauren Graham) revisits her past when she reunites with her ex-boyfriend, Mark (Jason Ritter, who took time off for The Event). If Bonnie Bedelia, the matriarch of the clan, continues to get short shrift, her grandson, Drew (Miles Heizer), becomes a more fully realized character as he prepares for college and falls in love for the first time. Despite a few tough moments and a few tears--Craig T. Nelson's Zeek has a particularly touching moment with his estranged mother--the year ends on an optimistic note with a wedding and another new addition. If the musical selections tend to err on the sappy side, the writing and acting continue to elevate Parenthood above most other domestic dramas. The extra feature offers deleted scenes and two commentary tracks with creator Jason Katims. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Starring a stellar ensemble cast and featuring guest stars including Jason Ritter (The Event), John Corbett (Sex and the City) and music sensation Cee Lo Green, Parenthood may be the toughest job you'll ever love, but it's a whole lot more fun with this family around...

5.0 out of 5 stars Another wonderful season . . . May 26, 2012

By ShopGirl

This show is a gem. In season 3, the acting and writing continue to impress me in every episode. I really loved the relationship between Sarah and Mark and thought the return of Seth was handled perfectly. Adam and Kristina's new addition to the family made for some warm and charming moments. I'm a big fan of Jabbar, and was happy to see some great things happen for his family at the end of the season. Julia and Joel's desire to have another child was a poignant (and sometimes heart-breaking) journey. The Bravermans are perfectly flawed, and the amount of heart the possess make this show a must-see. I have been a fan from day one! Mostly because I think Lauren Graham and Peter Krause are two of the most talented actors out there.

This the greatest show on modern TV. Everyone can relate to something that is going on in each and every episode. Amazing writers and equally great cast members. I hope this show has many more seasons to come.
