Guys! I met Jason Ritter! I doubt anyone cares but, I’ve been a fan of his forever so I was quite pleased (to say the least) with our five minute encounter.
Also, go see A Bag of Hammers which he and Jake Sandvig—who was also at the screening (!!)—star in. You won’t regret it. And if you do, well…sucks to suck.
That is all.
Parenthood was just renewed for season 4, Hunger Magazine’s Issue II with Robert Sheehan on the cover launched today, and I just ate a giant burger.
I’d say today is pretty damn good.
Now, I just need Leslie Knope to beat Bobby Newport tonight. Knope 2012.
Jason Ritter replied to my tweet. We basically had a conversation. Super casual.
One more thing: That. Episode. ALL OF THE FEELS!!
**I am too emotionally distraught to articulate my thoughts—I’ll leave it at that.
If I need to pounce at the NBC officials to express my needs in a different form, I most definitely will do whatever is necessary to keep this lovely show on the air. It’ll take more than Cliff Huxtable to hold me back.
Bravermans Break It Down
My weak heart can’t handle the cuteness.
But, on that same note: FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!
Why must I soak my pillow with tears every Tuesday night?
And, then again, why must I wait until Tuesday to soak my pillow in tears?
Why can’t Parenthood be a daily occurrence?
I’m just going to pretend the season finale isn’t next Tuesday (when it’s over next week, whoever wants my useless Tuesdays can have ‘em)
The fine folks of the terribly underrated, unsung hero of nbc (otherwise known as Parenthood) are like paleontologists and they manage to dig through my heart and find all of the plot lines, character developments, and dream boat-y cast members they know will send me into cardiac arrest each Tuesday night.
Jason Katims + company: why do you know me so well? Also, would it be okay if there was a new episode like everyday? I don’t think my feeble heart can make it through the strenuous waits for much longer.
Thanks in advance, nbc lineup planning people!
RUGRATS LIVE-ACTION MOVIE TRAILER
WHY DID I NOT FIND THIS SOONER!?
Mae Whitman as Angelica?
Sarah Ramos as Phil and Lil?
Alia Shawkat as Chuckie?
Honestly, I’ve gotta say, I LOVE what the Parenthood cast does with their free time!
Also, Dax Shepard and Peter Krause should’ve been Stu and Drew.
Haddie may seem like a heartless and/or selfish being at times, but in all honestly, Sarah Ramos impeccably portrays the social cues and emotional mindset of a teenager. We have to remember fellow Parenthood fans, that us teens, or really, us humans, aren’t always going to react to tough situations with complete rationality or patience.
Haddie Braverman balances rigorous academics, dealing with a brother who has Aspergers, a newborn who constantly cries, a failed relationship with a recovering alcoholic, and parents who essentially have little to no time for her.
Sarah Ramos embodies a character that admittedly, we can all compare ourselves to at one point in our lives or another. I’ll proudly admit that I see a lot of myself in her and am usually moved to tears during her scenes because they really hit home.
P.S. This whole spiel is happening around 3:15am, so my rhetoric is probably as convincing as a five year-old’s.
TEAM HADDIE
When Jason Katims created Parenthood he achieved the great task of producing a quality show in these trying times and the even greater task of making an emotionally detached television watcher bawl every Tuesday. Hats off to him and his wildly talented cast and crew!
R.I.P. My days of watching television with dry eyes
‘Missing’ Recap:
-The missing bit: Okay, so the preview did make it seem like Max was going to be harassed and given the expectations I had, this portion of the episode was a tad underwhelming. But, I love that it happened because it revealed what poor Haddie’s going through. Most fans HATE her, but I do see where she’s coming from, and it was illuminated tonight.
-Crosby: ALL THE TEARS. Gosh, the end with Jasmine. Just. Gawd, I love him.
-Kristina: Atta girl! I’m glad things are on the up and up with you and Adam, now!
-Julia/Zoe: I don’t know which of you I feel more sorry for. BTW: Why no Joel this week? :(
-Also, did anyone catch Drew and Haddie cuddling on the couch during Zeek’s commercial? Cutest cousins ever! (Still prefer the Drew/Amber connection, though)
-Dr. Joe: I’m still not too fond of you, but that was a nice thing you did for Jabbar
-Gosh, Mark’s line just made me ship him and Sarah even harder than I already do.
Okay, that is all.
So…seriously? I have to wait until January for the next episode? Waiting until Tuesday is hard enough. I. Am. Gonna. Die.
Oh, Parenthood, what you do to me.
Why lovely people (cast/crew/writers) who bring Parenthood to me every Tuesday? Why must you make me feel all the emotions every single week?
Recap of emotions from Mr. Honesty:
-Joel: Such an amazing husband. Always.
-Kristina and Adam: I see where the two of you are coming from, but I’m done having your fight take up too much of the allotted time for an episode, so be done with it.
-Amber: You poor thing. I really hope you find a goal to pursue. You’re too awesome to be in the situation you are currently dealing with.
-Crosby and Jasmine: I’m happy things are heading down a positive path, but Jasmine, I swear if you play with my Crosby’s feelings again, I will personally hunt you down. Also, try to look past the cheating for Jabbar’s sake..and, none of that Dr. Joe business.
-Soundtrack: Still lovin you.
Till Tuesday, that is all.
