Sometimes after you watch a series for years, you feel like the characters are actual people. I remember when Sex and the City was having their finale show. Of course, I had to have a party to commemorate the event with my friends. Ian was thirteen at the time and we were going someplace in the car together. I was daydreaming about how I thought the show should end and let out a sigh. Ian asked what the matter was and I said I wasn't sure I wanted Carrie to end up with Big in Sex and the City. He gently put his hand on my arm and reminded me that it was just a TV show, not real life. Thanks, Ian, for the reminder.
I've caught myself doing the same melancholy daydreaming about how I want the Parenthood series to finish. Will Joel and Julia make it? Will Max be able to mainstream into life as an adult? What will happen to the Luncheonette?!?!
Here's some fun facts about the show:
Some posts I've seen on Reddit is predicting Crosby (Dax Shepard) will die in the finale. Say it's not so!! They wouldn't do that to us, would they??
Do you remember some of these quotes:
Max: I don't get why we have to raise our hands, because if we were in a real conversation you wouldn't raise your hand every time you wanted to contribute something to the conversation.
Crosby: Yeah, well I'm so sorry sweetie. I'm sorry I failed you again.
Jasmine: Well, at least you're consistent!
Kristina: I was standing next to that goddess that you hired and I started leaking.
Adam: What, breast milk?
Kristina: No, oil. Yes breast milk!
So, farewell my Parenthood friends. Thanks for many good hours of TV time. I have my box of tissues handy to keep me company while I watch your last visit to my family room.
