Parenthood is horrible.

I didn't want to watch it, I wanted some crime thing, but she made me in spite of this, so once watching it I was determined not to enjoy it, but couldn't help it, I laughed at least once, smiled several times, felt the emotions it decided I should feel at the appropriate time, and lets face it, it's good. It looks good, the people are pretty, the locations are nice, it's paced just right, the script is good, and it's full of the kind of charachters you want to watch, and they all gel so well.

And it's perfect.

Which is why I hate it.

Becaues I've seen it all before, all of those scenes, all of those situations, done in a very similar way. It's like they have scientifically figured out how to make a tv drama. There is nothing original here. Nothing that hasn't been said and done a thousand times before. It's the gilmore girls, it's the OC, it's the wonder years, it's desperate housewives, it's some lawyer drama I can't name.

Yuck!

I think if I am made to watch the 2nd episode I may be hooked. I hope it doesn't happen.
