Love Parenthood, but the story line regarding party with underage drinking where Alex is arrested is unbelievable and would not happen where we live. The parents' would have been arrested for supplying alcohol to minors. One punch during a illegal party would not bring just an arrest for one either. The kids would have been cited for underage drinking too. I was disappointed with the way this played out and will not find this a plausible part of the show. If Alex had previous issues with violence, I wish they had found a better way to develop this part of the story.

The last song heard in the background of the recording studio scene is called "Junk" by Paul McCartney.

I loved the show and am mostly amused by the cynicism and sarcasm of the review.
I love Max and the realistic approach of how they portray his Asperger's anyone who knows or has someone with it, can appreciate how they cover it on the show...so it's sad to see that anyone woud imply sending him to boarding school. It's a show about family and dealing with issues..real families cant just send their child away because it would be easier to deal with...not anymore. You cant love and hate the realism of the show.
Adam's pathetic unemployed thing was hilarious!Im glad that Jason Ritter is back, Ambr is lost and I suspect she's up to something. Julia's baby buying thing though funny was more so insulting.I continue to believe that Crosby gets a bad wrap and Jasmine has to take some accountability.Haddie's actions were deplorable and I felt for Alex. Horrifying how at a Party that violated noise ordinances filled with drunken minors he's the only one arrested.Legally that jerk's parents a

Thanks everyone for pointing out my mistake in exchanging the names of Kristina and Julia. It's been fixed! :-)

@TVFanaticFan: Erika Christensen's character is named Julia, not Kristina as the reviewer had it. Kristina is the pregnant wife of Adam played by Monica Potter.

I dont think the closing song is Forever YOung. That is the song at the start of each show. I would also like to know who played/name of the last song on the season premiere.

Was looking forward to the show's return...until I seen it. Completely forgot about Max. We seriously find that watching him is draining and we end up changing the channel. Please, I know this is going to sound horrible, but send him to a boarding school. Completely, takes away from the energy of the show. Love the rest of the cast.

I was so looking forward to this show and loved the first episode. Two characters I'm not going to like so much unless they change somewhat is Amber and Hannah. They are so rebellious. Not all teenagers are like this. I do hope they will choose to make some changes in their characters down the line. It's amazing how much Max has grown up in one year. And as someone else said, I would like to see Sarah's writing career continue. They didn't dwell on that at all last night, and I was looking forward to that. It just left you hanging from last year. But all in all, this is my most favorite show on TV. I love it!

"Kristina, sporting a farmer's tan from what I believe was a summer of Ericka Christensen bike riding..."
I think you meant Julia. =)
Great summary though!
